I've had the trimmer for a little over a year and I've always had a problem with the string breaking internally so I have to take the head off and rethread the string. Now it also won't feed using the bump. Essentially worthless.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Colorado Bill
Trimmer line breaks for a variety of reasons. Make sure you’re following your trimmer’s specific guidelines. Using the full length of the line will cause the line will break off, the only part of the trimmer that does any of the work is the very tip of the line. Another reason the line breaks often, if the trimmer touches an object such as the concrete walk or a tree or anything else too close to the head itself, then the line will break off and slip back into the head assembly, causing the user to take apart and restring. Also trying to cut weeds that are very thick and fast will cause the weeds to get in too far into the line and that will also break the line. Just make sure that you move very slowly when cutting large weeds. It will get you done much faster. Lastly, make sure that you feed the line out often, waiting to feed the line out until it is too short, will also cause problems. We hope this will help you to solve your problem and you will have a more enjoyable user experience.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This trimmer makes trimming so much easier, quieter, and efficient. I can stop & restart frequently. No need for ear protection. Can slow down rotation around sensitive plants. Easy to reload. Best trimmer I have owned!
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Durable, Environmentally Safe, Effective
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far so good! I live in Alaska and I was impressed by the power of the brushless motor and how it just ripped through the weeds in my yard, the battery was great. weight of the unit was good not too heavy, i found it to be a nice weight.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoy trimming and this product is the best. We also have the blower with matching batteries. The 2 speed along with trigger speed it amazing. The only shortfall is the strap is for a larger persons body.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just purchased, charged battery & tried it out. Works very well, plenty of power and battery lasts a long time. Would recommend to a friend.
