I have used this trimmer extensively and it has performed very well. No gas fume issues is a wonderful plus. Fast recharge and back in service. I love it.
My 4 stroke gas string trimmer started to act up. So I explored this product. I currently have 80V mower, snow blower, leaf blower. and hedge trimmer. Strong power, easy to assemble, sturdy construction, quieter than gas trimmer, and interchangeable attachment capable. Only complaints are squeeky noise and weight. My gas trimmer is 17 pounds. The Greenworks with battery is 20 pounds. Greenworks used all aluminum and plastic, so only place to save eventually is battery weight (2.8 pounds). I highly recommend this product. No need to buy gas. Product is half the price of premium gas trimmer.
I already owned a Greenworks blower and loved it, so, I when my old gas edger went out, I decided to get this string trimmer. I was assured that my supply of accessories for my old gas model would fit, and they have. The extra battery will come in handy as well. A big plus is how quiet this is. My ears love the sound of silence!I
Excellent design and powerful trimmer, eco friendly and super easy to use. The battery only holds a charge for about 30 mins. You need multiple batteries.
If you are on the fence about it switching to electric... do it. After a few uses has already proven how much better it is than my old gas Stihl trimmer. Charged it out the box in under 30 minutes was able to do my entire 1/3 acre yard with plenty of charge to spare. So much quieter, so much so that i thought it wouldn't cut through the wisteria that grows on my fence. My old stihl would stall but this went right through it without any problems. This is a sleeping giant with plenty of electric torque to boot that will shred through things my gas trimmer couldn't. So blown away. I'm glad I went with this model at 80v. Wish this was around sooner but so glad I found it. Not to mention how light it is in comparison. This is a no brainer folks. Make the switch.
I bought this trimmer after debating between a gas trimmer or electric. After a few uses I am really glad I did. It is easy to use and performs as a gas trimmer does without the mess.
I have 6 acres that I keep manicured. The trimmer has absolutely exceeded my expectations in every way. I still use my gas trimmer for thick, tough brush because it turns up higher RPMs but my weekly go to trimmer is the GW because I don’t like the noise of the gas trimmer. See the before and after pictures- all done with the string trimmer and the hedge trimmer. I was super impressed!
