Powerful and frustrating
on May 6, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
The combo pack is great value and was an easy way to get into the 80 volt system. I find the blower to be faultless and powerful, while the trimmer is powerful it is utterly frustrating.
The string advance mechanism on the trimmer is finicky and prone to sticking. Dirt gets into it and the advance button wedges into the head and no string advances. To reset the mechanism, I have to take the string spool apart and unwedge the button. This happens roughly every fifth string advance. I am finding it to be a major annoyance. I really wish this was designed better. Maybe the model that accepts attachments is of a better design. Unfortunately for me I think this trimmer is built to last and I will be waiting and enduring frustration for a long time before I have to replace it. Which btw I see no way to replace the cutting mechanism. So this is not the most versatile or repairable model.
Greenworks, is there a fix or so you have advice regarding this?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

WOULD be 5 stars... if I could get parts

I generally LOVE this trimmer. It has done well with all the attachments I previously had for my gas trimmer, aside from the blower attachment. Hedge, edger, pole-saw, tiller... work great. My only problem is that the listed part for the spool cover (aka "bump knob") is "34108178A" in the manual - but NOBODY carries it (and it isn't even listed in Greenworks' parts directory. Therefore - it's life as a string trimmer is about to come to an abrupt halt :(

Excellent Product

This model is pretty good. My yard is taken care of easily, with much fuss. I have 2 batteries and that enoiugh for 5000sq ft. The only issue I had was with the trimmer head spool cap, eventually it got damaged. I was able to purchase another and I'm back up and running.
(The trimmer head assembly is item number:31110836
You can order this from the supplier at 1-888-909-6757 or through our third party parts site here: - https://greenworks.ordertree.com/
) Hope this helps some users.

Amazing String Trimmer
on August 22, 2018
Posted by: TriFantom
from Raymond, California
Gender:Male
I have had the 80V cordless string trimmer for about a year now and it is definitely worth the price. I can take care of my 3 acres in almost half the time, though I do recommend having at least 2 batteries, I have 3 total. The only downside is that the push feed on the trimmer head finally broke and I can't seem to find one easily accessible that works with it.

Great Product

We bought this last year to go with our new 80 Volt self propelled lawn mower....
I didn't mention it in the mower review, but the handle folds down and you can hang it....
Hang up the trimmer and no more messy garage...
It peforms as well as a gas powered trimmer without fighting to start it...
No more gas cans in our garage....
If my Yamaha could run on these batteries, I wouldn't have any gas in the garage..
I got the extra spool for quick changes, and I can do all my yard on one battery...
Do away with gas and jump on board the Greenworks 80 Volt train...
I love my Ryobi 18 Volt leaf blower, as I do all my 23 Ryobi Tools, wrong review...
But when it dies, or when somebody gives me one, I will switch to a 80 Volt Greenworks 580 CFM Leaf Blower, Hint to Greenworks….
I would recommend this to a friend!

Still Working After All These Years
on August 10, 2018
Posted by: Erkm2

Gender:Male
I have used this string trimmer for well over two years, about every week during the summer and sometimes during the winter months as well. It always starts, always has power, never jams when advancing in the string, low noise, using the shoulder strap properly the weight is balanced evenly.
After trimming I always have enough battery power to use my blower to clean up the yard. Can it get better than this?
I would recommend this to a friend!
