[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this trimmer for about a year now with great results. I have the edge, string trimmer and blower attachments and I am very happy with them. Swapping out an attachment is quick and can be done in just a few seconds. The only thing I don’t love about it, is that it’s a bit on the heavy side so having the shoulder strap on this is helpful. It’s also a little heavier towards the back end which can increase fatigue on big jobs. But overall, I perceive it as being very powerful for an electric trimmer and more on par with a gas trimmer than other electrics I have used. Very happy and would buy this again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After researching all the major brands that sell gas and battery powered string trimmers I decided to get the GreenWorks 16" string trimmer with the 80v 2.5ah battery. It's amazing how bad the reviews are for many of the gas powered units from the major manufacturers. I really liked the specs on this Greenworks string trimmer, overall design and reviews. I bought the 21" battery powered lawn mower last year for edging my yard and have been very happy with it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the weed trimmer at the beginning of summer to replace an old gas powered trimmer. It does a great job and it’s really nice that it’s so quiet compared old gas when I had
I bought the 40 volt 16 inch trimmer which I do not see for sale now. It was a piece of garbage due to a poor design and very uncomfortable to use. They took my money but would not return my concerns.

Hello Disappointed14. We appreciate you taking the time to review this product. We are sorry to hear that you are not completely satisfied with this unit’s weight and design. With the 2.0AH battery installed, this unit weighs approx. 13.4 lbs. in total. Proper ergonomics when holding a string trimmer can improve comfort and cut quality. Here are some tips for holding a string trimmer: Posture: Keep the arm holding the front handle straight, while slightly bending the hand on the rear handle. This will keep the trimmer head parallel to the ground, which gives the string the most cutting contact area. Level: Hold the trimmer level. Angle: When trimming against a hard surface, be flush with it. Holding the trimmer too high or at too shallow an angle can result in uneven or ineffective cuts. Adjusting the handle can also provide a better balance, this will help evenly distribute the weight between the battery and the base and should hopefully assist in a more enjoyable user experience. Greenworks 80V platform is backed by a four -year warranty. When you have a chance we urge you to review the video shared below. Should you have any further questions or warranty needs, contact us through Live Chat on www.greenworkstools.com or call Greenworks Pro toll-free helpline 1-855-345-3934. We would like the opportunity to speak with you to see if we can find a solution.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Recent convert to cordless lawn equipment. Greenworks highly rated across a variety of testing sites. Frustration with my gas trimmer finally pushed me over the edge. Sting trimmer was my first purchase and it's been great. It also can accept the pole pruner chain saw that I already have. Looking forward to acquiring the leaf blower and the 16" chainsaw.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Effective, Powerful
