I have had the 80V cordless string trimmer for about a year now and it is definitely worth the price. I can take care of my 3 acres in almost half the time, though I do recommend having at least 2 batteries, I have 3 total. The only downside is that the push feed on the trimmer head finally broke and I can't seem to find one easily accessible that works with it.
We bought this last year to go with our new 80 Volt self propelled lawn mower.... I didn't mention it in the mower review, but the handle folds down and you can hang it.... Hang up the trimmer and no more messy garage... It peforms as well as a gas powered trimmer without fighting to start it... No more gas cans in our garage.... If my Yamaha could run on these batteries, I wouldn't have any gas in the garage.. I got the extra spool for quick changes, and I can do all my yard on one battery... Do away with gas and jump on board the Greenworks 80 Volt train... I love my Ryobi 18 Volt leaf blower, as I do all my 23 Ryobi Tools, wrong review... But when it dies, or when somebody gives me one, I will switch to a 80 Volt Greenworks 580 CFM Leaf Blower, Hint to Greenworks….
I have used this string trimmer for well over two years, about every week during the summer and sometimes during the winter months as well. It always starts, always has power, never jams when advancing in the string, low noise, using the shoulder strap properly the weight is balanced evenly. After trimming I always have enough battery power to use my blower to clean up the yard. Can it get better than this?
I have used this trimmer extensively and it has performed very well. No gas fume issues is a wonderful plus. Fast recharge and back in service. I love it.
My 4 stroke gas string trimmer started to act up. So I explored this product. I currently have 80V mower, snow blower, leaf blower. and hedge trimmer. Strong power, easy to assemble, sturdy construction, quieter than gas trimmer, and interchangeable attachment capable. Only complaints are squeeky noise and weight. My gas trimmer is 17 pounds. The Greenworks with battery is 20 pounds. Greenworks used all aluminum and plastic, so only place to save eventually is battery weight (2.8 pounds). I highly recommend this product. No need to buy gas. Product is half the price of premium gas trimmer.
I already owned a Greenworks blower and loved it, so, I when my old gas edger went out, I decided to get this string trimmer. I was assured that my supply of accessories for my old gas model would fit, and they have. The extra battery will come in handy as well. A big plus is how quiet this is. My ears love the sound of silence!I
