Been using for three years. Works great. Nof ideal for heavy projects but great to have around the house. Also use to trim small field in neighborhood but has issues with thick brush
Picked this Greenworks up two months ago, now I can use the Battery from my Greenworks Snowblower in the summer too without paying for a separate battery. Well balanced with shoulder strap tethered near controls, motor and battery compartment for maximum reach of each tool's business end. Compatible - I loaned out my Ryobi plug-in last season and lost a few parts of it to neglect. Great to be able to step to no cords, keep using existing tools, and the power of this 80V system eases through everything I've thrown at it. Brushless, and build quality seems good. Should last many seasons as has the Greenworks Snowblower so far.
This is a good and powerful trimmer that I have used once around the yard. The torque is better than a gas unit and it is much quieter with less vibration. The string that came in the spool was used up quickly but I purchased more and added new string with no issue. The throttle seems to respond slow but is easy to adjust to after a few minutes.
I bought this weed wacker last summer and I am on my third Spool Cover. I can not believe how bad this this cover is. Now to my surprise you can not get not get a replacement cover until maybe the end of June. Nope, on my way to buy a new weed wacker.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
