I always hated trimming when it was part of my chores as a kid. It was noisy and awkward and took forever. This trimmer changed my mind. In a very short time, I've trimmed all around our raised beds, our many newly planted trees, and areas the mower can't get. The sound level is modest and the string lasts a really long time -- unlike the old days! This was a great purchase.
The trimmer is a game changer. So easy to start and restart after taking a break. Feels very sturdy but lightweight enough ti comfortable to use. Love the battery power trimmer!
I am very pleasantly surprised with how well this tool worked to clear off my backyard which is inclined at a steep angle. I was able to clear the whole area on one charge. The tool is very light. It is only the 80 battery which adds to its weight but it is still quite manageable, even if you are standing on an incline.
Although this tool worked great for me and I highly recommend it, I would say that 80v is probably not what I needed. Even 40v one may have worked just fine. 40v is significantly cheaper but you will most definitely have less battery power and I don't know how long will its charge last as compare to the 80v one.
Well designed and balanced. Using the shoulder strap is key to getting it to feel comfortable. Powerful motor and long battery life even with the 2A battery.
