[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my trimmer in the middle of August so the weeds around my house were three feet tall. Needless to say, this trimmer handled the task with ease and the battery lasted longer than I did during that first cutting. I'm looking forward to using it for normal cutting jobs around my property.

I've Used It 5 Times Since I Purchsed It. Has Been Working Well At This Point.For My Age and Huge Yard It's Doing The Job Well. The Battery Holds Up As Well. I Own Other Greenworks Equipment Chainsaw, Several Blowers They All Work Well.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this trimmer a little over a month ago. I have approximately 400+ feet of trimming to do. This trimmer seems to have the power and Battery power to do the the trimming 2-3 times before having to charge the battery. The actual trimmer I bought was Model BLB479 with a 2 ah battery.
Ive had mine for 2 summers now, I love everything about it except the bump feed. Its a double line bump feed but it doesnt have a separator between the two lines so they get tangled ALL.THE.TIME. I've re run the feed pretty much every use and no matter how I spool the thing, its always getting jammed. Greenworks has double line bump feeds with separators and oddly doesnt have one for this model - so I'd actually urge you guys to not get this one and to check for models that have accessory replacements.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad to hear you’ve enjoyed the performance of the unit over the past two summers, though we’re sorry to hear the bump feed has been a source of frustration.
One benefit of this particular bump head design is its ease of reloading, especially compared to units that require replaceable spools. While we understand that line tangling can be an issue in certain cases, many users find the straightforward reload process to be a convenient feature.
