Used it once; its heavy! Make sure to purchase a double shoulder harness or make sure to schedule massage therapy.

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your sense of humor and understand that weight can be an important consideration when choosing outdoor power equipment. Our 80 Volt platform is designed to deliver professional-grade power and performance, which can result in a heavier tool compared to some of our other battery platforms. For added comfort during extended use, Greenworks offers accessories such as the exoFLEX Shoulder Strap, which helps distribute the weight of compatible string trimmers. If lighter weight is a priority, you may also wish to explore our 40 Volt or 24 Volt product options. Thank you for choosing Greenworks. If you have any questions, please contact our Customer Success team at 1-888-909-6757 or start a Live chat on www.greenworkstools.com.
Is not compatible with my trimmer model as advertised
Response from greenworkstools.comBy Greenworks, August 17, 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the T-Type Head Assembly was not compatible with your trimmer as expected. We understand how frustrating it can be when a replacement part does not fit the intended model. If you have not already done so, please contact the Greenworks Customer Success team with your trimmer model number so we can review the compatibility information and help identify the correct replacement part. They can be reached either using the online chat function, on Greenworks Tools website, or by calling 1-888-909-6757. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to assist.
Trimmer head out of stock renders this product useless... I've been buying a ton of 80V GW tools.. I guess the train stops here... time to switch to the the competition.. not having necessary parts readily available is unacceptable for a company that claims to be good,
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for being a loyal Greenworks customer and investing in our 80V system. We completely understand how frustrating it is when a key part like a trimmer head is temporarily out of stock and holds up your work. Depending on your trimmer model, you may be able to rewind standard 0.080" or 0.095" trimmer line directly onto your existing spool, or clear any debris caught in the head mechanism if it feels stuck or jammed. For visual, step-by-step guidance on reloading trimmer line and maintaining your equipment, we invite you to check out the official Greenworks YouTube channel. If the entire head assembly needs replacement and shows out of stock online, please click the "Notify Me" button on the product page to get an immediate email alert the moment inventory is replenished. Should you need direct assistance identifying a compatible alternative head or checking stock updates, our Customer Success Team is ready to help at 1-888-909-6757 or through our online support portal.
I bought this trimmer to replace an older version of the same. Changing the string is far easier and the new string lasts much longer. The elastic shoulder strap makes the tool feel balanced and easier to use.
Pros: Easy to Use, Quiet, Durable, Effective, Powerful
80ing trimmer came with a complete kit including extra "string". Does a great job.in both normal.and turbo settings G etting an even edge trim along side walks, driveways, and trees or other obstructructions. Most even trim of any trimmer we've used previously!
