I purchased a string trimmer/leaf blower combo earlier this year and have come to love them both! I love not having to pull the cord and refuel every time I need to use these tools. 60VDC is AWESOME!
I have 3 weedwackers and and corded blower. I was tired of dealing with gas powered lawn equipment and a corded blower is a pain having to deal with the extension cord always unplugging from my blower and having to move it around objects, it’s just a pain! I decided to give battery powered lawn equipment a try. I did 2 months of research on different brands and decided to go with this Greenworks 60V weedwacker/blower combo. I was so impressed with the power and performance of these products I went ahead and purchased the 60V 18” chainsaw and the 60V hedge trimmer! I now have 3 batteries and so far have only needed to use one battery for my whole yard! Having Greenworks battery power has cut my lawn time significantly. I highly recommend Greenworks over any other cordless brand! Love it!!
After using the trimmer and blower twice, I am totally satisfied and will never go back to gas-powered lawn tools. My lawn is a typical, relatively small suburban lot and doesn't have areas of tall weeds or brush. The trimmer easily handles everything I need it to do, and I think it would work well even when dealing with rougher conditions. It's also light and perfectly balanced. I wish the timmer line cutoff was a little longer, but that is easily adjusted. The blower is plenty powerful, too, and I love being able to turn it on instantly without having to pull the cord. The battery supplied power for all of my trimming and blowing, and it still had half of its charge left - I don't anticipate ever having to pause midway through lawn work to recharge. I can't comment on longevity since I just got them, but these are sturdy tools that should last a long time if not abused.
The trimmer and blower combo pack seemed like a great buy. However, disappointed in some features. The attachment of the poles is misleading. Looks like it will accept other attachments (i.e.edger attachment). Just found out it will not accept attachments. No where on the website it says “not attachment compatible”. Also, the string in the trimmer does not last very long. Had to put in new string within 2 months of use.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bought this a couple years ago, works great, no problems, string easy to reload, no feed problems. I use the 2.0 or 2.5 batteries I have and they still have plenty of power to be used in my blower
