The trimmer itself was fine. The issue is when I tried to find a replacement spool. I tried winding the string, but it is almost impossible to keep lines tight before getting this inserted into the device. I called support and they referred me to a replacement spool, but it doesnt fit at all. According to the sales rep, the item would fit on my trimmer. But nope.

Have bought at least 5 Greenworks products including a riding mower. I'm happy with all of them except this trimmer. The line is difficult to load in the spool and jams frequently. The central top continually jams and I have to stop trimming and pull the line out until the central head pops back out. Sorry Greenworks but a video won't help with a product that has a lot of issues like this. It's my mistake for not buying a trimmer that accepts preloaded spools. Lesson learned.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
