Brought the 80v for the farm after reading reviews and forums online... best thing Iv ever bought no problems so far and iv had it for a little over 2 years
On the first day of use it went pretty smooth. The first time turning it on the head popped off pretty fast. Just make sure it’s tight before first use. Same thing with the string. Make sure it’s installed correctly. Other than that it works well and it’s pretty light.
The tool is very easy to use, lighter than a gas trimmer, and as powerful. Unfortunately the 2Ah battery last only 25 minutes... Which makes it a nice tool but not perfect. Can’t wait for the 5Ah battery.
I've been using this trimmer for 3 years. I bought it primarily to save the time and hassle of using 150' of extension cord to trim my parents property. Dragging the cord around and re-routing it several times, it took just over an hour to trim everything. With this 80v Greenworks trimmer the time was reduced to about 35 minutes and I get it done with a single charge on the 2AH battery. The power is more than sufficient. Besides the usual trimming, I also use it to knock back ivy vines and other tougher plants with no issue. It's well balanced and the bump feed works well. The only shortcoming I have found is that the shield/deflector should be about twice as wide as it is(based on experience with others). My legs get covered with the clippings. So no shorts when trimming but otherwise it's been a pleasure to use and a great timesaver.
