Similar weight to my last gas trimmer. Seems well built and balanced, was able to tear down quite a bit of very large / tall weeds. Battery lasted much much longer than I expected. Very very glad I bought this instead of gas.
I still do not understand why a company cannot come up with a design thats easy to replace the .08 line. My line breaks every 20 seconds. It's very annoying. I like the product other than that.
I retired my old gas trimmer for this. It’s lighter weight, no pulling, choking, gas, spark plug or smelling like weed eater exhaust. The battery lasted thru my whole yard, about an hour and no fuss to use. It easily slips from slower to faster speed and is less problems to get the job done. I didn’t even have to load string once. Nice!
I am a 62 year old woman and I do my own yardwork. I am a tennis player and pretty strong but some of these trimmers and blowers are just too darn heavy. I have about an acre in a suburban neighborhood. This Trimmer was light enough for me to handle but powerful enough to take care of my large yard in all of the places my lawn mower can't deal with. No gas or long eletrical extension cords to deal with. Easy on and off when walking around the yard to attack the edges. I really love this trimmer.
