[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my combo a few years ago, and the blower and trimmer are both going strong. I am impressed with the battery life of the 60v class and the power level is excellent for most jobs.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We own several rental properties and Greenworks is our go to for lawn equipment. We have had them for years and the batteries are still going strong. We make sure to bring them inside as to not expose them to high heat or cold.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Both good products. I especially like the Turbo button the leaf blower. Nice to have that additional umphf when you need it.
The string trimmer does a good job. Was able to do the entire property on one battery charge. I do wish the guard was larger though.
It's so wonderful to not have to start these up by pull start.
This works really nice as a blower - but you can't leave the battery in it, even unused, for two days - as the unit drains the battery completely. Initially, Greenworks said the unit was defective - but then changed their mind and said it's normal. I have many cordless tools - and the battery does not self-drain. I have a friend who is an EE and an industrial engineer for a major mfr - he says the motor controller is either defective or poorly designed. Either way, it's a hassle to remove the battery after every use. I expect better from Greenworks.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello toolman tom,
Thank you for taking the time voice your concerns. We do advise customers to remove the battery from the charger after it has been fully charged and to also unplug the charger from the outlet, as this is good electrical safety practice to do so. This will also help to prevent false defects reading and allows the charger to reset itself each time it is used to charge a battery. When the battery will not be in use, we suggest storing it indoors, in a cool dry area - away from direct sunlight. Leave the charger unplugged and the battery disconnected from the charger unless it needs charging. It is recommended to store the battery with a full charge, and if it is being stored for a period where no use is expected, to check on the charge every couple of months. If you notice the charge has dropped, we advise charging the battery back up to full before returning it to its safe storage place. Following these steps will ensure you receive the most of the battery life. Hope this help!
The Pro 60V String Trimmer and Leaf Blower are the best!

Probably one of the best blowers and trimmer I’ve ever used. I recently had a gas powered blower and trimmer, the Pro 60V string trimmer and leaf blower is hands down the best. I tossed out the other named brand blower and trimmer, they were hunks of junk!
