The leaf blower is great. It’s light, compact and my 7 and 9 year old love to use it as well as me. It’s strong enough to blow old piles of leaves.
The weed wacker gave me some trouble, but working with Greenworks support was simple, the wait wasn’t too long and the path to resolution was methodical without being scripted.
The string trimmer is strong enough and the battery power is doing the job done. I used a cable string trimmer before and hassle with the cable, with the battery string trimmer the job is way easier. The leaf blower I thought I don’t need one, but now I like it, perfect for cleanup around my house.
Bought this last year in 2020 and I was very impressed with both of my machines. I was able to trim my whole yard, and blow the trimmings back into the yard and yet still have battery life left. My trouble only came when I had to re-wire the trimmer, and It is literally impossible. I've looked up so many videos, followed up on the manual, had 3 other people try it, and contacted support to no avail.
I am extremely disappointed in my trimmer, but very pleased with my blower. At this point, it'd be easier to just buy a blower itself and a trimmer to save time and money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've been using the 60v string trimmer and blower for a few years now and I love them. I really like not having to mess with 2 cycle gas for these tools any more. The blower has kept up with our fall leaves wonderfully. I was skeptical about the string trimmer because I was afraid of finding a lack of power. Boy was I wrong! The trimmer runs me ragged. The high head speed makes it tangle free in tough to cut tall heavy grasses unlike my previous gas models. Best of all the noise level is so much better and no fumes! I'll be adding to my collection of 60v tools soon. Being a product engineer, I've been very pleased with the design and build qualities of these tools.
After loosing my husband I had to take over all the outside work. I’m so happy to be able to purchase reliable battery operated tools that work great! I don’t have to mess around with gas cans and no yanking the pull string just a simple push of a button. It couldn’t be easier!
Great value for the combo. Only have used once but leaf blower has great power and trimmer works well. Battery will be a nice backup for the lawn mower as well.
Wasn't sure if the blower or weed eater would have enough power to do the job properly. Best tools I've bought for the money. They both have more power than the gas models that I was using. The gas tools are now obsolete.
