[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I switched to this string trimmer after having a different brand (whose tool broke after using its feature as intended to turn the trimmer into an edger). I’ve been rigging the other tool just to get it to work properly. Once I switched to this trimmer I immediately took notice of the immense power this thing has. Worked amazing and I fully expect it to last for years to come.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this model for my wife as she wanted something smaller than the one I had purchased earlier for me and it’s worked out just great.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have seven acres to cut grass and weed eat and the Greenworks Weed eater handles it on one charge. Exceptional power and easy to use.
I spent $10,000.00 here...save your $$$. They apparently don't honor their warranty. What good is this product without a battery?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sometimes intimidating, putting together the string trimmer couldn’t have been any easier! Now to start trimming!
I purchased a combo trimmer/blower. The items arrived yesterday and I was thrilled to open and use them immediately. The instructions in the box included an edger, but none for the trimmer. It was easy enough to put together and I started using it. After only apx. 10 ft. of trimming the string on one side came off. I tried to download user manual from the greenworkstools website, but kept getting error messages. Finally figured out how to open the bottom and after more than an hour have not succeeded in threading the string and closing the housing again. I will return this tomorrow.
Pros: Powerful
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Recently bought the green Works 80V 2AH battery 17 inch string trimmer trimmer And although it is a little heavy, the strap really helps. So much easier than having to fool with a gas trimmer and trying to get it to start when you’re 71 years old. The only thing is, I wish the battery was more than 2AH so it could last longer.
