This trimmer is so powerful. I’m still learning how to handle it for edging and so far I have to relearn how to reload string. I’m pleased that it acceptor .095 line
Pros: Durable, Effective, Powerful
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for your 5-star review! We are glad to hear you are enjoying the power of the 80V 16" Gen3 String Trimmer and that the ability to use .095 line is working well for your trimming needs. Learning the edging technique and string reloading process can take a little practice, but it sounds like you are already getting the hang of it. We appreciate you choosing Greenworks and taking the time to share your experience. For helpful tips on edging, line replacement, and getting the most from your trimmer, be sure to visit the Greenworks YouTube channel. If you ever have questions, our Customer Success team is available through the online chat feature on the Greenworks website or by calling 1-888-909-6757. Happy trimming!
I bought the Gen2 version of this. It worked great--until it was time to replace the string. It's almost impossible to get the cap/housing off, despite the cheery instructions to press the two side buttons. Youtube is full of people expressing frustration and recommending oil, finding hidden bolts (mine doesn't have one) and so on. I'm giving up and getting a new one, which is super aggravating. I have several Greenworks tools that are great, but my new trimmer won't be from Greenworks.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your experience with the string head and understand how frustrating it can be when routine maintenance becomes difficult. The spool cover should be removable by pressing the side release tabs, but dirt, debris, or buildup around the housing can sometimes make removal more challenging. Cleaning the area around the spool head and ensuring the tabs are fully depressed may help. If the spool cover remains stuck, please discontinue forcing the component to avoid potential damage. We appreciate your comments and would like the opportunity to help troubleshoot the issue. For guidance on string replacement and trimmer maintenance, please visit the Greenworks YouTube channel, where you can find helpful instructional videos. You can also contact our Customer Success team through the online chat function on the Greenworks Tools website or by calling 1-888-909-6757. We value your feedback and would welcome the opportunity to assist.
Great machine while the parts last! Trimmer spool head wears out incredibly fast and then you can't buy another one!!

Used it once; its heavy! Make sure to purchase a double shoulder harness or make sure to schedule massage therapy.

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your sense of humor and understand that weight can be an important consideration when choosing outdoor power equipment. Our 80 Volt platform is designed to deliver professional-grade power and performance, which can result in a heavier tool compared to some of our other battery platforms. For added comfort during extended use, Greenworks offers accessories such as the exoFLEX Shoulder Strap, which helps distribute the weight of compatible string trimmers. If lighter weight is a priority, you may also wish to explore our 40 Volt or 24 Volt product options. Thank you for choosing Greenworks. If you have any questions, please contact our Customer Success team at 1-888-909-6757 or start a Live chat on www.greenworkstools.com.
