Shortly after purchasing my unit, the spool cap broke. It was still under warranty but instead of sending me a new spool cap, I received a new unit in its entirety. Unfortunately, the spool cap on this unit also broke. I have been unable to locate a spool cap so now have two units which I can’t use because I can’t find a replacement spool cap. Very frustrating because both units work fine otherwise.
Bought new trimmer when old gas one died. Like it because it is much lighter for me handle being a 81 year old senior.

Dear Robert,
Thank you so much for your review and support!
We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback on the Sun Joe Cordless String Trimmer. We're delighted to hear that its lightweight design has made it easier and more comfortable for you to use.
It's wonderful to know that the trimmer has been a great replacement for your previous gas-powered unit, and we hope it continues to make your yard work more enjoyable.
I bought the trimmer in 2022 and it has worked great. The reason for the two-star rating...the replacement string spools are unavailable. This product needs to be taken off the market until a viable replacement spool becomes available.

This is a nice trimmer/edger. Two things that I don't like about is, 1) you have to manually put the line out when you need more cutting line and 2) it states you can get a replacement spool (24V-ST14 Spool). I've looked it up and can't find any replacement spool for this trimmer.

Hello Ronald,
Thank you for sharing your feedback on the 24V-ST14 Trimmer/Edger. We're glad to hear you find it to be a nice tool overall, but we understand your concerns regarding the manual line feed and difficulty finding replacement spools.
We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this has caused. The need to manually extend the cutting line can be less convenient for some users, and we appreciate you pointing that out. Regarding the 24V-ST14 replacement spool, we understand the frustration in not being able to locate it. We’d like to further investigate this for you and help guide you to the correct replacement part or provide availability updates.

I like the trimmer, but cannot get any replacement string, which I have been trying to get since last year. I should have read the reviews here before buying the product. It was a waste of money as I cannot use it anymore. This is a DO NOT BUY since there is no replacement string.
Can't get replacement string, what a waste! I have had this trimmer since spring and I can no longer use it because Sun Joe is unable to stock string for their own trimmer.
I like the trimmer, but cannot get any replacement line. It's not worth buying when you can't get more line. Additionally the replacement line offered is not the same as the line sent with the trimmer.
