[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Recently bought the green Works 80V 2AH battery 17 inch string trimmer trimmer And although it is a little heavy, the strap really helps. So much easier than having to fool with a gas trimmer and trying to get it to start when you’re 71 years old. The only thing is, I wish the battery was more than 2AH so it could last longer.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just purchased Greenworks 80V string trimmer. It is powerful, sturdy, and quiet. Works smoothly. Glad I purchased it to replace my old 4 cycle trimmer that was so hard to start and noisy.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You’d think in 2025 for the top of the line tool you could find a QR code to shoot to register. But NOOoooopp!’ You have to get your magnifying glass out to read then type in the thousand digit* serial number and model. *exaggeration
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just bought this today and it ripped thru half my north 40 before the battery wore out! Soooo much better than the RYOBI!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Trimmer is very slow to ramp up (takes 3-4 seconds to get to usable speed), but once there it's nice and powerful and trims well. Main complaint is battery. I have a pair of the 2.5AH batteries, advertised as giving up to 50 minutes use each. I'm lucky if I can get 10 minutes of continuous trimming before they are out of energy and need a 45 minute recharge. I don't know where the 50-minutes comes from; maybe walking around doing little touch-up trims? It is certainly not 50 minutes of continuous use cutting grass! Mind you, these aren't heavily used batteries near the end of their life; I've got maybe a half dozen charges on each.

Hello Olem. Thank you for sharing your experience. High-power string trimmers can consume battery life quickly, especially when used for extended periods or when dealing with thick vegetation, but runtime can vary depending on the battery capacity and the trimmer's setting. The trimmers variable speed controls, allow you to adjust the power for different cutting conditions and potentially extend battery life. We hope these tips provide a better user experience. If you would like us to investigate the runtime you are getting, please start a Live chat on www.greenworkstools.com or call Greenworks Pro toll-free helpline at 1-855-345-3934. So, our experts can discuss your experience; please have your unit, battery and charger with you along with the model and serial number to complete troubleshooting to ensure quick resolution is provided.
