The power of a gas trimmer. The convenience of a battery. Easy line loading. The bump line extension actually works. Multiple speeds. 16 inch cutting path. Attachment capable .What else could you ask for?
I got the 80V because it works with my lawnmower and hedge trimmer but I’m not sure what the real difference is. It seems a bit long and unwieldy compared the my old plug-in electric edger. The guard also prevents it from trimming effectively so I basically don’t use it. It took a little learning curve to get the desired effect on my lawn, but I had been using the same plug in edger for years. It was easy to assemble and allows you to adjust the handle, though I felt like it is so heavy from the battery the handle adjustments still didn’t feel quite right. I am giving it another chance this weekend hopefully will be easier to use. Definitely heavier than a plug in electric model but nice to no longer have to get out the extension cords! Next all I need is the battery leaf blower!
It's really lightweight with the 2Ah battery. And has more than enough charge for my front, back, and side yards. It was easy to setup and is a nice compliment to my Greenworks mower. I highly recommend if you are looking for a user friendly, low maintenance trimmer! It has the bump cord extender too.
