I was the typical DIY-er with a 2-stroke power-head, trimmer & edger attachments and a gas blower. Every spring started with several hours of doing tune ups on the engines, getting new gas, mixing the oil...UGH! This year my spring "tune-up" was popping in the battery and pulling the trigger! I am a former mechanic and always told myself that I enjoyed the challenge of keeping my stuff running...now with my stable of Greenworks tools, I'm realizing that not only do I love having a job well done, I really love having the job DONE! I love my greenworks edger and I love all of the time it has given back to me.
Edger - no one answers the phone, too heavy, battery not compatible with my

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is far too heavy for me to use. I attempted to call your technical and customer service before purchasing to ask a few questions. That was IMPOSSIBLE. Made multiple attempts. Held for over an hour twice. Last time I tried I was 23rd in the que. So I purchased this edger. The batter is not compatible with the other three Greenworks tool I have and love (blower, hedger, mower). It is way to heave to use. I have emailed multiple times to return, but I have to pay shipping. This is just not at all what I expected. I am a 60 year old woman that loves to to my own gardening. I have been raving about Greenworks to my friends for a few years not. I so wish I would have been able to talk to someone, found out how heavy it was and that the battery was huge. I would have ordered a smaller version. Now, I am expected to keep it or pay a huge shipping cost. This has really changed my rating.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
