From owning previous gas weedeaters I wasn't sure about buying a battery operated one. This one was light,lasted quite a long time, was able to get job done with one charge and not loud. My wife even used it and likes it.
I really like my trimmer, I just wish the unit weren’t so heavy. I am a 58 year old woman. I just wanted to mention this in case another woman is considering purchasing. The strap provided helps. You might wanted to invest in a more padded strap if you have a lot of trimming to do.
I bought this trimmer about a month ago and up to now, it's been great. I did not expect the power to use with a saw attachment but it cut small trees with ease. I only wish I could find the correct bike handle for this model.
Love the new trimmer. My old model didn’t have the shoulder strap and would wear me down after about 45 minutes. With the shoulder strap my back is able to keep up. Also the bump up in string thickness from .08 to .095 makes a huge difference.
Bought this for my husband as a birthday gift. He loves that it is attachment capable and runs on a 80v battery. He plans to buy another battery as a backup.
