[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent performance and long duration per charge.Very impressed! Only improvement would be to make the trimmer head adjustable angle, to make vertical trimming easier. But otherwise, a great design.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I shudder to say how many trimmers I've been through over the years, gas ane battery, heavy duty and string. My new Greenworks has the sweetest balance of ease and efficiency, more powerful than I expected from its slim profile. It's second only to my mower as my favorite Greenworks tool.
I bought this trimmer about 6 months ago because my friends said how great it was. I've used it maybe 8-10 times. It takes about 45 mins to trim my yard and I always put the batteries on the charger for an hour every time after I'm done. It won't do anything right now. Both batteries say they are charged and if I put them in the charger the lights say the batteries are good. What a joke. I don't want to spend more money to buy another battery just in case 1 is "bad" Never again Greenworks.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Retirednavy,
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear about the experience you have encountered with this product. Here are a few troubleshooting suggestions to check out. 1) When the battery is inserted, the light should begin flashing green to indicate the battery is charging. If this light is not igniting or is flashing red, this may indicate an issue and we would be interested in hearing more about this. If the light simply goes solid red, try removing the battery and unplugging the charger for about 10 minutes and place them both indoors in a room temperature setting, as this might indicate the battery is at the incorrect temperature to be charged. 2) Ensure that the battery has been fully inserted into the charger. Sometimes this requires a firm push into place to make sure that it has been properly seated. 3) Try resetting the charger. To do this, simply unplug it for approximately 10 minutes and then plug it back in and try reinserting the battery. If the charger has been plugged in for extended periods of time, this can sometimes cause the charger to malfunction. Should you continue to experience a problem with the battery and charger, please contact us at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS) or start a live chat on www.greenworkstools com. All we ask that you have access to the battery and charger so that we can complete troubleshooting with you and gather necessary unit information.
Please do not waste your money on this! First, when it arrived 2 of the batteries didn't work and had to be replaced. The problem is, the batteries only last about 10 to 15 minutes. I can't even mow my entire yard with out it taking 4 days because I can only mow about a quarter before the batteries die and then have to charge for 24 hours before they can be used again. My lot is less than a quarter acre. Terrible customer service, absolutely worthless lawn mower. Do not waste your money on this unless you only have a 6 inch strip of grass to mow.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We bought this as a gift for our son. He said the mower along with the weed eater and blower work great! We will visit him soon and will try it out as well.
