I have a full set of Greenworks outdoor power tools, so I like the brand. This string trimmer operates fine as a string trimmer. But I have it two stars because I bought it specifically as an attachment capable power head. At that it is a abject failure. It "worked" with a pole saw attachment, but the power is so low that the pole saw is basically non-functional. The slightest resistance and it stops. If you want a power head, buy something different. If you want a string trimmer, I'm sure the non-attachment capable one from Greenworks works fine. Don't buy this.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Excellent power and versatility. This is a powerful tool, battery holds out longer than the fuel on my gas powered like tool. The fact that accepts attachments makes it functional for many projects.
From owning previous gas weedeaters I wasn't sure about buying a battery operated one. This one was light,lasted quite a long time, was able to get job done with one charge and not loud. My wife even used it and likes it.
I really like my trimmer, I just wish the unit weren’t so heavy. I am a 58 year old woman. I just wanted to mention this in case another woman is considering purchasing. The strap provided helps. You might wanted to invest in a more padded strap if you have a lot of trimming to do.
