To be perfectly honest, my son's 40v Ryobi has more power at the head and much better balance.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Works great and can do the whole yard and still have enough battery for probably 2 or 3 other tasks. Always a quality product and this one continues to not disappoint. We have a hedge trimmer, Edger, and hedge trimmer on 80v and this 60v proves to be just as up to the task.
I'm on my second season with this edger, so I've had a fair amount of experience trying to get things just right. I primarily use it to edge sidewalks and have found the ergonomics to be a challenge. In order to get the blade depth to about 1/2 inch below the height of the concrete, it makes the angle of the trimmer so low that I have to bend over quite a bit, otherwise the head of the edger drags against the sidewalk. I'm 6'2", so tall but not that tall. I also wish this had more blade speed. On thin blades of grass such as fine fescue, it mostly just pushes the blades of grass aside.
Greenworks offers multiple types of leaf blowers and string trimmers but only has this one edger. It's as if they are just trying to say they have one and didn't put much thought into it's functionality and ease of use.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Plenty of power; modestly better in trimmer string release

I’ve been using this about three weeks, in conjunction with my Greenworks 25” dual 60v mower and the 710 blower. I am able to do about two hours of work with these three tools, using the two mower batteries (4ah power). This trimmer does 3 x 170 feet of street and sidewalk frontage, plus another 160 feet of sidewalks and driveway, plus about 75 feet of planting beds. By any measure and even compared to the three traditional products these have replaced, this is great performance. While it is too early to tell anything about reliability on this product, the mower and blower have been in use longer - more than one year in the mower’s case. If reliability holds, this trimmer is equal to any common task, and every bit as useful as my 2-cycle, oil/gas mixing, carb-fouling, loud power equipment. An added benefit is that I can use this trimmer early in the morning without annoying neighbors. Great product at a good price for those seeking a little less complication in their lawn maintenance lives. The string release in any trimmer I’ve ever used is a problem area. This trimmer has the advantage of allowing a complete emptying of the cartridge and a quick re-roll onto the spool when you lose one side into the cartridge while working. This is a better solution than others I’ve used to date by far.
Pretty good trimmer and blower the blower is really powerful trimmer powerful as well but I feel the string for the trimmer could’ve been designed a little better
