[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The bicycle handle trimmer is a great and powerful tool. I would give it five stars, but the problem is that the plastic load n Go trimmer head wears out too fast. Even though I bump and feed the trimmer line on a soft surface or a piece of carpet to avoid it from getting roughed up easily. Yet it still wears out by pretty much disintegrating the plastic cover. I have already gone through two heads and I'm only a residential user for my place only to knock down weeds. Another problem is that the trimmer heads are usually out of stock. Can't understand why. So now I have to wait for I don't know how long, rendering the tool useless. Should be able to use different head parts other than just bump and feed. Manual feed option would be nice also.
I bought this trimmer because I was very eager to own a trimmer that was easy to load the string. I used the trimmer for about 10 minutes before I needed to let some additional line out. The bump technique did not yield any positive results, so I tried to remove the spool and manually extend the line. After 45 minutes and elevating blood pressure, I give up! I am returning this thing as soon as possible. This is my second Greenworks trimmer, and I have learned my lesson.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to hold and has a lot of power. Love that it's in my battery eco system with my Greenworks mower and blower. Way more powerful than my old Ryobi stringer that I had to have on the high power option. With this I can leave the switch on lower power and cover most of my needs and only kick it up to higher power for any deep grass I run into. It's also more comfortable to hold than other trimmers I've used in the past.
Only reason I did 4 stars and not 5 is the trimmer string provided is only heavy duty enough when in low power mode. When I switch it to high power it spins so fast the line breaks and I have to take it all out and restring. I will buy thicker string to use from here on out and expect I'll have no issues with that anymore.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the third Greenworks product that I have purchased and once again I have been impressed with the quality, value and value! I highly recommend Greenworks products for all your yard maintenance needs!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First, the noise is the first thing you notice. Compared to my gas trimmer this is quiet. My brother in law says: " I have an electric tooth brush that makes more noise" :) Anyway, I enjoy the quiet tool and the 4amphour batter is perfect for my almost 1/2 acre. Would have enjoyed getting a smaller battery but it is not that heavy. I also have the edger attachment and my only issue with that is that changing out the attachments is not as easy as my old gas trimmer. Not impossible just more finicky in my opinion but definitely not a deal breaker.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is powerful! Replaced a 40V trimmer of another brand and that worked okay, but this Greenworks trimmer is massively more powerful! I have a fairly small yard, but have trimmed it 4 times so far without needing to charge the battery.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great sale price! I have been looking for the 13 inch Greenworks trimmer for some time and this one came up! Quick and easy assembly and light weight for easy use! Great collection to go with my self propelled mower, blower, chainsaw and pole saw that all use the same size 60v battery! Thank you for your products!
