Exceeds my expectations. Long lasting battery that edge and trimmed a 1/4 acre yard with 1/2 battery remaining. More than enough power for any weeds. Well balanced weight. Pretty fast battery charging.
Pros: for about the same price as a noisy and troublesome gas weed trimmer, I was able to get one that is about silent, light and much easier to use. Very pleased so far.
Cons: took a little longer to get than I expected & the guard at the bottom needs to be a bit larger - my legs were pelted with shrapnel.
I purchased the light weight trimmer last summer for home use. I called the manufacturer today to check on a replacement spool for the trimmer and they were sorry to say that I needed to check back in June. I do not recommend this product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very nice trimmer. Comes with a cross shoulder strap that really helps distribute the weight. Powerful trimmer. Plus, it’s a breeze to load and wind. Have never used a dual cord trimmer, let alone battery operated before, but I’m never going back to gas or electric cord. Very happy with my purchase.2.5 aH battery is more than adequate.
