Great for wacking weeds and tall grass. Battery lasted a little over an hour when trimming tall grasses on hillside. Quieter than gas powered trimmer. Love starting it with a press of the trigger. Weight seems about the same as gas powered trimmer. Would like to have an adapter to help trim grass edges along walks and driveway. Like being able to share battery with other Greenworks tool. I have a Greenworks leaf blower that does a great job also.
It’s pretty powerful the charge last a good period of time. Actually I would put it up against my gas trimmer. The only thing is it is shorter than my gas model so takes a bit to get use to.
This replaced my gas trimmer and I'm pleasantly surprised at the performance. Does the job with no hassle of mixing gas and oil, looking for non-ethenol gas, and the random "no-start" that comes with petroleum powered tools.
The original line spool was two separate line. I couldn’t get it to advance and I had open it up and unreel the line and just put one line in. I have only used it once and kind of difficult to remove gras growing out of cracks cement areas.

I absolutely love my 80v string trimmer. It is the my first Greenworks tool and I can not wait to purchase something else. The battery lasts as long as I do...we need a recharge at the same time! I won't share with my husband he loves to gas powered trimmer but I see the envy in his eyes when mine starts in a flash and off I go with no issues. 5 star all the way
I already had the 80V with the chainsaw and needed a new weedwhacker so I opted for the Greenworks model. So far I'm very happy with it. It's very easy to assemble out of the box and it works great. The 80V is probably a lot more than I need, but it's nice to be able to use it multiple times before having to charge again.
