[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the mower, string trimmer and blower combo kit. I was surprised that they all have enough power for my large yard. The battery lasts much longer than I anticipated as well. I did have a minor issue with the blower trigger but the support team was able to sort that out quickly. I would definitely purchase this kit again!
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Powerful

Very easy set up and easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this trimmer to start my Spring clean up and I am already working hard! The Greenworks trimmer was very easy to set up and a pleasure to use. Even though it’s professional size, it’s extremely well balanced and the shoulder strap is very comfortable. All new yard tools should be built like this!

Greatest Weedeater Ever

I purchased the weedear about 3 months ago. One of the lightest and easy to maneuver weedeaters I have used. Its very powerful and easiest to clean. Easy as heck to restring as well. I highly recommend the Greenworks 80v Weedeater!Pretty easy for a 67 y/o man to operate.
I would recommend this to a friend!

WOULD be 5 stars... if I could get parts
on April 24, 2019
Posted by: isky

Gender:Male
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 :(

Bad Ergonomics; Very Heavy; Not for Small Users
on July 16, 2022
Posted by: RAWReviewer
from TN
Gender:Female
I am female, 5'4" of proper weight, very handy, and strong.
I've been using this for a few months.
PROS: Powerful, Good Battery Life. Same battery for the Greenworks lawnmower that I own (and like).
CONS: 1. Very heavy, not balanced well, awkward to use. The 80-V battery is installed at one end and it is much heavier than the trimmer head at the other end. I have adjusted the shoulder strap and handle multiple times and find this extremely heavy and awkward. Also, the trigger is too high up on the shaft for me to comfortably keep it engaged. I either end up with a strained shoulder or back or both. 2. Installing new cutting line is straightforward, but it is very hard to turn the spool cap if you have small hands.
OVERALL: This may be a good trimmer for someone who is larger. It isn't good for someone who is 5'4". I used a Black & Decker 18-V string trimmer for years. It was ergonomically fine for both myself and my friends who were taller. I do realize that an 18-V battery is much lighter than an 80-V, but the B&D string trimmer was much better balanced and more comfortable. No, it was not as powerful, but it was able to do the job.
RECOMMEND? Only to tall people.

So disappointed in weed eater
on August 9, 2023
Posted by: Grammy R
from Spokane, WA
Gender:Female
I haven't tried the blower yet, but the string weed eater was extremely disappointing. The only thing it can cut is grass, it is useless on the weeds, which is why I needed it in the first place.
Pros: Quiet
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The trimmer is a solid built. It would have been a 5 star if they have a lock-down system for the trigger-start after the trimmer started spinning. Because they don't have this lock-down system. It is very tiring on the hand constantly holding on the trigger-start while trimming. It would also been very helpful to list all attachments in the booklet that this trimmer could handle. But don't have this information. Left me in the dark, and I had to get the information from else where.
