[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After researching all the major brands that sell gas and battery powered string trimmers I decided to get the GreenWorks 16" string trimmer with the 80v 2.5ah battery. It's amazing how bad the reviews are for many of the gas powered units from the major manufacturers. I really liked the specs on this Greenworks string trimmer, overall design and reviews. I bought the 21" battery powered lawn mower last year for edging my yard and have been very happy with it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super great trimmer! I love how easy it was to set up and no need for gas and oil. It is also very quiet and does a great job. It feels cheaply made, everything is a heavy plastic except the metal alloy shaft. It comes with a strap to help with the weight, which is nice because the battery is solid 10-15 lbs and acts as a counterweight.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Environmentally Safe, Effective, Powerful
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the weed trimmer at the beginning of summer to replace an old gas powered trimmer. It does a great job and it’s really nice that it’s so quiet compared old gas when I had
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] No pull start required! The convenience of putting in a battery and pulling the trigger is so worth changing over to electric. Even in low-speed trimmer has more than enough power to tackle any weeds, especially with a blade head
I bought the 40 volt 16 inch trimmer which I do not see for sale now. It was a piece of garbage due to a poor design and very uncomfortable to use. They took my money but would not return my concerns.

Hello Disappointed14. We appreciate you taking the time to review this product. We are sorry to hear that you are not completely satisfied with this unit’s weight and design. With the 2.0AH battery installed, this unit weighs approx. 13.4 lbs. in total. Proper ergonomics when holding a string trimmer can improve comfort and cut quality. Here are some tips for holding a string trimmer: Posture: Keep the arm holding the front handle straight, while slightly bending the hand on the rear handle. This will keep the trimmer head parallel to the ground, which gives the string the most cutting contact area. Level: Hold the trimmer level. Angle: When trimming against a hard surface, be flush with it. Holding the trimmer too high or at too shallow an angle can result in uneven or ineffective cuts. Adjusting the handle can also provide a better balance, this will help evenly distribute the weight between the battery and the base and should hopefully assist in a more enjoyable user experience. Greenworks 80V platform is backed by a four -year warranty. When you have a chance we urge you to review the video shared below.
