Great product when it works

from Detroit, Michigan
Gender:Male
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the 16” wire trimmer in 2023. My thought was I’d switch to electric since there’s less maintenance and moving parts so the life should be longer than my gas powered one. I was wrong, I only got two summers of use plus this season I’ve used it three times and now the electric motor has seized up. Very disappointing, US product and with light use in a very small yard it didn’t last very long at all.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great trimmer except the bump feed is terrible
on July 19, 2025

Ive had mine for 2 summers now, I love everything about it except the bump feed. Its a double line bump feed but it doesnt have a separator between the two lines so they get tangled ALL.THE.TIME. I've re run the feed pretty much every use and no matter how I spool the thing, its always getting jammed. Greenworks has double line bump feeds with separators and oddly doesnt have one for this model - so I'd actually urge you guys to not get this one and to check for models that have accessory replacements.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad to hear you’ve enjoyed the performance of the unit over the past two summers, though we’re sorry to hear the bump feed has been a source of frustration.
One benefit of this particular bump head design is its ease of reloading, especially compared to units that require replaceable spools. While we understand that line tangling can be an issue in certain cases, many users find the straightforward reload process to be a convenient feature.
We appreciate your honest feedback and want you to know it’s been shared with our product development team as we continue working to improve future designs. If you'd like help with spooling tips feel free to reach out to us directly at 1-888-909-6757 or via chat on our website—we’re happy to assist.
Thanks again for being a Greenworks customer.

Good luck finding replacement heads
on December 1, 2025
Posted by: Replacement Head issue
Gender:Male
I would have given it a 4 but the fact that the head only lasted 1 summer and they are sold out and can't find replacement i'm going to have to downgrade to a 3.
Pros: Easy to Use, Effective
Response from greenworkstools.comBy Greenworks, December 3, 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear the trimmer performed well for you, but we understand your frustration with the head lasting only one season and the difficulty finding a replacement. That is certainly not the experience we want for our customers. Our team is working to restock replacement heads, and we would be happy to help you find the correct part or an equivalent Greenworks option. Please feel free to reach out Greenworks via Live chat on our website (www.greenworkstools.com), call us at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS) or refer to the FAQ ask section of the tool or ask us a question, anytime.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve owned this set for just over 1 year, and they still operate just as well as the day I got them! Highly impressed with how powerful they are. Incredibly easy to use. Looking to buy a chainsaw next!

Replacement heads unavailable
on April 8, 2026
Posted by: Tsteen118
Trimmer head wears out after one year and is always out of stock. Now just sits in my garage, waiting for 1.5 years for a head and still can't get one. Fair warning!
Response from greenworkstools.comBy Greenworks, April 10, 2026
Hello Tsteen118. We understand your frustration and appreciate you sharing your experience. Trimmer heads are considered wear-and-tear components, as they are designed to absorb impact from regular contact with grass, weeds, and hard surfaces like fences or concrete. Over time, this use will naturally lead to degradation and the need for replacement. To help extend the life of the trimmer head, we recommend avoiding frequent contact with hard surfaces, keeping the cutting line at the proper length, and regularly clearing debris from the head to prevent excess strain. We also recognize the inconvenience caused by limited availability of replacement parts. Availability can fluctuate due to demand and supply conditions, but our team can assist in identifying compatible options or checking for restock updates. Please feel free to reach out for support either using the online chat function, on Greenworks Tools page, accessible by clicking “Chat Now” in the bottom corner of your screen, Chat with a Live Agent or by calling 1-888-909-6757.
