So disappointed in weed eater
on August 9, 2023

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.

Hello Grammy,
We're sorry to hear you're unhappy with our Greenworks 80v string trimmer unit. This is one of our more powerful tools we have in our highest voltage line. It should be able to tackle a variety of different weeds and plants. However, it is not designed for brush. We would like to look into this issue in more detail with you as what you're describing is not a common issue with this unit. Please contact us at 1-888-909-6757 or through chat direct on our site. We're happy to help.
The battery on this trimmer mounts sideways. It's very heavy and hard to handle without killing your arm. have they redesigned the way the battery mounts? You have to hold the battery end because the tool wants to flip to the heavy side. I see the new ones are STB460. Are these better?
Pros: Environmentally Safe, Powerful
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Works with my existing Trimmer plus Edger, Blower, and Husq string trimmer attachments that I currently have. Pop in the 2amp and 4amp batteries from my mower and good to go. I was skeptical of the batteries from the start as for tools, they become throw-away after the manufacturers end the old voltage specs. But I can't say how nice it is to use GreenWorks Tools. The string trimmer with my blower attachment is stronger than my existing gas trimmer and no more smelling like gas when I'm done due to ethanol based gas destroying the fuel lines. Makes easy work of fall leaves. Same positive experience with their mower. Excellent products.
Such a great product and addition to my Greenworks 80v mower and blower. I love that the speed of the motor is adjustable during use and not just an “on/off”.
I'm a guy who likes to tinker on small engines as a hobby. And I drive a diesel. So I would be the last guy to go electric. But a buddy let me try his 80v string trimmer and wow -- now I'll never go back!
I'm thrilled with the ease of use. Zero prep time, just start cutting. It cuts the total job time in half. And the battery life is amazing. I can do 3 full trims and still don't need to charge it. Highly recommend.
I bought this specifically to be able to attach other cutter heads, and had no problem doing so. It works great, and the attachments work easily. Only issue is the battery. If you are planning on using any other battery, don't. They apparently all make small changes so they won't fit each other. Very frustrating. Same size, just put the groves in a slightly different spot so they are not interchangeable. Only their 80V will apparently fit.
