[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Only gave 4 stars as I just received the 80V trimmer package. I've owned a 60V a few years and have always liked it except for the fact you can't replace the head on it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this trimmer two years ago and now avoid it entirely. The sting is impossible to load, never feeds out by itself and breaks off too fast when I feed it out manually. I bought it because I like the mower and wanted to match charging types. I HATE THIS TOOL!!!! Stay away.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I switched to this string trimmer after having a different brand (whose tool broke after using its feature as intended to turn the trimmer into an edger). I’ve been rigging the other tool just to get it to work properly. Once I switched to this trimmer I immediately took notice of the immense power this thing has. Worked amazing and I fully expect it to last for years to come.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have seven acres to cut grass and weed eat and the Greenworks Weed eater handles it on one charge. Exceptional power and easy to use.
I spent $10,000.00 here...save your $$$. They apparently don't honor their warranty. What good is this product without a battery?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sometimes intimidating, putting together the string trimmer couldn’t have been any easier! Now to start trimming!
I purchased a combo trimmer/blower. The items arrived yesterday and I was thrilled to open and use them immediately. The instructions in the box included an edger, but none for the trimmer. It was easy enough to put together and I started using it. After only apx. 10 ft. of trimming the string on one side came off. I tried to download user manual from the greenworkstools website, but kept getting error messages. Finally figured out how to open the bottom and after more than an hour have not succeeded in threading the string and closing the housing again. I will return this tomorrow.
Pros: Powerful
