Customer Reviews for Greenworks - 16" Brushless String Trimmer, with 2.5Ah Battery and Rapid Charger - Green

The 80V battery is quite heavy so learning how to balance the trimmer while trying to cut evenly takes some time to get used to. The trigger action is a bit different but by the 2nd or 3rd use, I got used it and was able to control the speed pretty much the way I desired. It's a bit heavy for a long work job but for small lawns it's great. My only concern is that it doesn't come with proper instructions on how to put the trimmer together out of the box. When I first started the trimmer, the bottom part fell off and flew out. I had to figure out how to put it back together myself.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Lots of power/endurance - could hold more string

The 2A battery has plenty juice for all my trimming needs. The only con is that the string length you can load is short for a double string trimmer, but it's easy enough to reload. It will cover all your trimming needs and can be used for some light duty edging.

I purchased the weedear about 3 months ago. One of the lightest and easy to maneuver weedeaters I have used. Its very powerful and easiest to clean. Easy as heck to restring as well. I highly recommend the Greenworks 80v Weedeater!Pretty easy for a 67 y/o man to operate.

Instantly usable with a minimum of prep. Would have preferred precut strips to bump feed, but other than that functional, powerful trimmer.

Trimmer needs to offer a roller attachment to help with trimming edges rather then having to hold steady to meet objective of straight edges

Much preferred over gas trimmer.

This is in response to my second purchase of this item. The first one is running well, but has a carbide saw blade for brush cutting.
What I like:
1. Little noise compared to gas powered
2. No pull to start
3. No gas to mix
4. Sufficient power
5. Easy to use....pop in battery and push the button.
For my usage I cannot see ever going back to a gas powered trimmer.

I am a 35 year design engineer and there are numerous things I see on Greenworks products where a few improvements could make a bid difference in the overall package.
1. The handle needs a quick clamp to quickly adjust for different usages.
2. The switch/handle area needs some ergonomic improvements.
3. I have Scoliosis so relieving any load on my back is better. Greenworks has a vest with a battery holder. I would like to a battery holder to put on at the waist.
