[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for my daughter since she didn't have one. As we know, a string trimmer is a required tool for home maintenance. The light weight and many features make this a top notch choice to use for lawn care.
I purchased this trimmer, but the auto feeding doesn’t work, so consequently, I have to continuously stop, take the head apart, and manually pull out the string to keep trimming. This is a waste of a tremendous amount of time and string. This is the absolute worst. Don’t buy it.

Hello AWFUL,
Thank you for sharing your experience. The auto-feed feature works by releasing 1/4" of line each time the unit starts/stops. To see if this feature is working for you simply release the start trigger 10 and see if the line length changes. When you are using the trimmer, we do advise to release the start trigger periodically to advance additional line. This will be needed more frequently if you are using this around the fence or hard surfaces. Please ensure that the guard is always on the unit while in operation. This will prevent the line from extending too far out and breaking off at a large length, which will cause it to go back inside the spool housing and cause a jam. We have share a video below showing how to use the auto-feed, this is a different unit but the feature will be similar. (https://youtu.be/NZA-4XLeMtQ). We hope this information helped! Should you have any questions or warranty needs, contact us through Live Chat on Greenworks Tools www.greenworkstools.com or call 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS). We would like the opportunity to speak with you to see if we can find a solution.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Seems like a nice tool, but string does not advance when needed. Tap and go does not seem to work. After using for one complete battery charge, the trimmer has lost power, and fails to start turning. Even when assisting it to start turning, it doesn't have enough power to cut. Tried new battery, same thing. Checked to make sure there is nothing wound around the head, and there is not. Not happy with this unit.
Pros: Environmentally Safe
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used this trimmer for years, but broke it (accidentally closed a shed door on it). I set out looking for a replacement, but other manufacturers didn't compare. It's light but has the power needed for my lawn. The edging feature makes all the difference. It's a very easy step to edge. Batteries are still going strong!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A good quality product. I enjoy using Greenworks products. Thank you for a good quality products that you build for the customers. I use rechargeable products alot thank you again Greenworks.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this for my daughter to replace a heavy Kobalt one. She loves it, it is light weight and shorter for her to use.
Pros: Easy to Use, Quiet, Durable, Environmentally Safe, Effective, Powerful
