[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Surprisingly powerful. My previous experiences with battery powered trimmers were disappointing to say the least. Not this one, it's a beast! Makes quick work of all of my trimming needs!
I BOUGHT STB460 STRING TRIMMER ONE YEAR AGO, AND THE BUMPER HEAD IS BROKEN AND THERE IS NOT REPLACEMENT PART FOR IT.

I've had this trimmer for a few months now and have been using it to go along fence lines and edging sidewalks. My yard is about 1,000 square feet in an urban setting with sidewalks and other developed edges, so being able to trim and keep grass from overhanging is important. I find this does the job very well and has plenty of power for the task. If you're in a more rural setting with thicker-than-average weeds, it might not be quite powerful enough. I can also do all my edging with only just about half the battery, so I don't even feel like I'm constantly worried about the battery charge. The only negative for me? You do have to smack the head rather forcefully sometimes to get new string to feed out, so a gentler mechanism might be nice.
I was unable to find a trimmer cap for my 60V model. I decided to upgrade to the 80V model. I never encountered problems with my 60V model so i knew the 80v would be just as reliable. It took all of 5 minutes to unbox. The moment i heard the fan activate while charging the battery i was sold. I have a little under an acre. This model performed effectively and efficiently. Upon completion i still had one bar. It would’ve easily been two but i prolonged the process. I’m impressed and really like Greenworks products. Do yourself a favor, purchase this sooner than later.
I love the performance of the blower but the battery Failed after a few months. Now I’m forced to buy another very expensive battery or a new blower. Disappointed as I have other battery powered products and never had this issue.
Rated a 1 star as I can’t use this anymore!
Pros: Powerful
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've had the 80volt pro line trimmer for two seasons.I have 1.8 acres with a chain link fence for a play yard To trim around.I was half way through the second season when it finally ran out of the original line.I trim around over 400 feet of split rail fence a pool and retaining wall blocks, all with one charge. It's awesome all I do is hose off the trimming head when I'm done and charge the battery.
After purchasing and using their riding mower I chose to purchase their string trimmer. Powerful with very good battery life. Easy to charge and balanced to make trimming a breeze.
We love our new string trimmer from Greenworks! It works perfectly every time. We have a huge yard and this string trimmer makes our home look beautiful. It is easy to use and the battery lasts a long time.
