[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great. I just don't like the bump feed string. I also wish that it would take larger diameter string. But, overall I am well satisfied.

I BOUGHT STB460 STRING TRIMMER ONE YEAR AGO, AND THE BUMPER HEAD IS BROKEN AND THERE IS NOT REPLACEMENT PART FOR IT.

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 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.
If you don't want to deal with re-spooling this is great - but get different string for it. I could NOT unravel one line since it was so tight andthe endbarely visible. I realized I ruining the line and had to cut it, defeating the purpose. Once out, there was still a piece secured and I needed help getting it off so I could re-spool; but that's just me.
I love my Green Works weedeater I read all reviews and will call CS before I order to get the right one. Mean while I wind my string my self which its a task to do so I thought a drop in will help me. Look for my call
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Effective
I would recommend this to a friend!
