[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This trimmer is great for my residential yard. It has enough power to trim the fence line and take out any stubborn weeds. The balance is nice.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good trimmer, but the guard is way too small. I ended up with debris all over my pants legs and on my shirt. Our smaller Ryobi trimmer has a bigger guard than this one. The battery lasts about a half hour of continuous use. Thankfully we have an extra battery.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really well balanced, so it’s easy to use for long durations. The smaller battery is plenty for getting the edges of a yard. I was able to cut down about an 1/8 of an acre of tall brush with some battery to spare.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Durable, Effective
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have what I believe is a Gen1 80-V Greenworks attachment-capable trimmer, and I sought to replace that becuase it's been in heavy use for five years, and I wanted to do so while it was still functioning to use as a dedicated trimmer for use at my mother-in-law's house. I was frustrated that little information is available to compare the various models and generations of Greenworks string trimmer, but that's my only complaint and reason for lower the overall review to 4/5 stars. Otherwise, I have been pleasantly surprised to find that the sleeve / collar for connecting attachments has indeed been improved in this model. I also note that, if anything, this model appears to be more powerful than my Gen1 in that when using an edging attachment this version doesn't seem to stop occosionally as did the Gen1 (it's possible that what I'm experience is due to variations in soild conditions, so I cannot swear that it is indeed more powerful). In any event, I've been impressed by the Gen3 thus far and do not have any concerns about it.
