I've had this trimmer for a few months now and have been using it to go along fence lines and edging sidewalks. My yard is about 1,000 square feet in an urban setting with sidewalks and other developed edges, so being able to trim and keep grass from overhanging is important. I find this does the job very well and has plenty of power for the task. If you're in a more rural setting with thicker-than-average weeds, it might not be quite powerful enough. I can also do all my edging with only just about half the battery, so I don't even feel like I'm constantly worried about the battery charge. The only negative for me? You do have to smack the head rather forcefully sometimes to get new string to feed out, so a gentler mechanism might be nice.
I haven't tried the blower yet, but the string weed eater was extremely disappointing. The only thing it can cut is grass, it is useless on the weeds, which is why I needed it in the first place.
Pros: Quiet
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Grammy,
We're sorry to hear you're unhappy with our Greenworks 80v string trimmer unit. This is one of our more powerful tools we have in our highest voltage line. It should be able to tackle a variety of different weeds and plants. However, it is not designed for brush. We would like to look into this issue in more detail with you as what you're describing is not a common issue with this unit. Please contact us at 1-888-909-6757 or through chat direct on our site. We're happy to help.
I was unable to find a trimmer cap for my 60V model. I decided to upgrade to the 80V model. I never encountered problems with my 60V model so i knew the 80v would be just as reliable. It took all of 5 minutes to unbox. The moment i heard the fan activate while charging the battery i was sold. I have a little under an acre. This model performed effectively and efficiently. Upon completion i still had one bar. It would’ve easily been two but i prolonged the process. I’m impressed and really like Greenworks products. Do yourself a favor, purchase this sooner than later.
The battery on this trimmer mounts sideways. It's very heavy and hard to handle without killing your arm. have they redesigned the way the battery mounts? You have to hold the battery end because the tool wants to flip to the heavy side. I see the new ones are STB460. Are these better?
Pros: Environmentally Safe, Powerful
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love the performance of the blower but the battery Failed after a few months. Now I’m forced to buy another very expensive battery or a new blower. Disappointed as I have other battery powered products and never had this issue.
Rated a 1 star as I can’t use this anymore!
Pros: Powerful
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
