So GLAD I have made up my mind to go all battery!! This attachment capability works SUPER with my blower and treesaw.. Lighter, eady to use, and lasts plenty of time for me with the 80v battery...HAPPY AS A CLAM!!
I decided to switch from gas powered tools to electric and researched all the available options before deciding on Greenworks. I received my string trimmer, charged the battery, and went to work. I was amazed with the power of this tool. I seriously outcut my commercial quality Husqvarna! Immediately ordered a leaf blower and am similarly impressed.
I bought this on Greenworks site and am happy with the Trimmer. I have the battery powered push lawn mower, as well and am very impressed with this company.
Hope I’ll have same review of blower when it arrives

I purchased the combination of string trimmer and leaf blower for my rental property. Trimmer works fantastic, hopefully when the leaf blower finally comes I’ll have the same ravings.
I bought a few weeks snd cannot wear out this battery. It is trimmer is light weight so does feel heavy and it is powerful at 2 speeds. You will love it!
The 80V battery is quite heavy so learning how to balance the trimmer while trying to cut evenly takes some time to get used to. The trigger action is a bit different but by the 2nd or 3rd use, I got used it and was able to control the speed pretty much the way I desired. It's a bit heavy for a long work job but for small lawns it's great. My only concern is that it doesn't come with proper instructions on how to put the trimmer together out of the box. When I first started the trimmer, the bottom part fell off and flew out. I had to figure out how to put it back together myself.
trimmer is equal to the gas trimmer that it replaced without the expense of repairs and breakdowns.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The 2A battery has plenty juice for all my trimming needs. The only con is that the string length you can load is short for a double string trimmer, but it's easy enough to reload. It will cover all your trimming needs and can be used for some light duty edging.
