I am Growing a landscaping business and have invested in the futer electric and this trimmer dose not dissapoint! I can do two yards in Wiamea with one batery and charging while mowing. The next day I used a 60V chainsaw 2 batteries and did not need a charger to cut down and buck a 15 foot tall washintonian palm.
Very happy with the system in general

USER MANUAL REVIEW. Not a review on the tool.

I just purchased 60V battery powered string trimmer and chainsaw. The user manual for the trimmer is pathetic: microscopic type, pale-grey in color, needs magnifying glass to read. DO YOU HAVE an alternative, such as a PDF file I can download and print, with LARGER TYPE ?
(I don't want to print it on paper bigger than standard, in order to have a readable size. My vision is OK, but I can't read this manual without a big magnifying setup.
SERIOUSLY a company like DeWalt should put out a user manual that is *as robust and helpful* as its tools.
PLEASE REPLY. I'm sitting on my porch with a magnifyer squinting and struggling to see the grey indistinct type in the trimmer user manual. Totally frustrated. Honestly you guys should be ashamed. I bet this manual was printed overseas with diluted ink, and Dewalt saves .5 penny per copy by supplying this and calling it a manual.

Great tool!

This is my 4th week of owning/using this tool. I have a 1/2 acre property I alone maintain. I use 9 Amp hour battery's for all my 60v tools, seems to be my happy medium.
This attachments weed trimmer is a fantastic tool & only needs my 1 battery to do my entire property. All standard attachments fit & work well with it also. If I had to find something to complain about it would be that compared to my 4 stroke weed trimmer it is slightly noticeable the gap in RPMS. My 4stroke can cut faster through thick brush an dirt. The dewalt can also, just not as quick.
Great tool overall.

The best trimmer I've seen
on April 30, 2021

I don't understand the bad reviews from people that don't know how to use them. The part that the accessories fit into isn't in the right position in the photo, the person should know that. If a person goes to attach accessories, all weed trimmer accessories fit the same way, if the speedometer type cable is inserted into the top portion correctly it will work, it has to because it becomes direct drive. I have many attachments from my old trimmer they all fit perfectly. I edged my complete patio and only used 2 bars on the battery. I have a half acre and trimming around the deck, fence both sides and flower beds twice and used only one bar. I don't run lithium batteries low because they live much longer if recharged. I once had a lithium battery from another manufacturer and it wouldn't take a charge until I connected it to another good battery, it still works great. This Dewalt is powerful enough on high to chip wood fence posts just like my old gas unit. The motor is in the rear so it doesn't get clogged with debris like others
I would recommend this to a friend!

Needs more speed Low RPMs
on April 15, 2021
Posted by: 3 PEDALS BETTER THAN 2
from MICHIGAN
Was glad to see that they finely made the 60volt attachment compatible trimmer. Had to get Ryobi. Although it seems to have more RPM than RYOBI 18volt Brushless and 40volt base model . It is still lacking about 1500 RPM to get blade speed on Hedge trimmer and Pruning saw. It is not capable to for Sweeping and Paddle attachments. I understand that it was made for residential users But RPM is what allows blades to clear debris to cut well.
Overall it is nice to have battery compatibility several DEWALT pieces. But thinking I should have bought a dedicated OUTDOOR TOOL battery platform.

I got this as a move in gift 2 days ago. It worked for maybe 2 hours before it stopped working entirely. Whatever makes the attachments operate must have stripped and I know I put it on there properly, I followed directions very carefully. Avoid buying I've had better luck with Ryobi and Milwaukee
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Well balanced and powerful

About this to replace the Makita due to the fact that the Dewalt only requires one battery and is more powerful. I was very happy when I put a dewalt together to see how well-balanced it was and how easy it was to use. Without a doubt if this had been available a year ago I would’ve bought this over the Makita.
I would recommend this to a friend!
