This is the third Greenworks Pro 60V i have purchased (Blower & Hedge Trimmer are the other two) and have not been disappointed in any of the products. Having a common battery is a big plus. The string trimmer is powerful, easy to handle and the self loading string is a huge plus for me.
Not happy with this product. Weed eater does not let out extra line with bum technology. Have to manually twist. Want to return!!

Hello there,
We're sorry to hear you're having issues with the line feed. If the string trimmer is not releasing line it's either not being bumped often enough or the lines are still on the notches of the spools.
Let us explain how the line feed works. This is a bump n feed unit and line extend about 1/4 inch each time you bump the knob on the ground. The more often you do this the more line extends. You can have to do this more frequently if you're trimming around areas that may break the line more often.
The other thing you want to note is that the line is off the spool notches. If the lines are still on the notches it will not allow the line to extend.
Hope this helps!

My new trimmer works very well. I've only used it twice, but it's able to do the edges of my entire yard with barely draining the battery at all. The string it's shipped with is sturdy and cuts through everything I needed. I will say this trimmer is longer and heavier than my previous trimmer (it was a corded version, so no heavy batteries). But I'll take those tradeoffs for the convenience of not having to trail an extension cord everywhere I go.
Lots of power and no delay like some of the cheaper trimmers. Love the 4 power settings that let you fine tune power level. Strap helps hold the weight and feels light. Might get a better harness in the future.
Already has a loud clicking noise after three uses. I regret buying this, and definitely don’t recommend it. It’s cheaply made, feels cheap and performs cheap.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
