Customer Reviews for Greenworks - 80V 16 Brushless Attachment Capable String Trimmer with 2.0 Ah Battery and Rapid Charger - Black/Green

I bought this specifically to be able to attach other cutter heads, and had no problem doing so. It works great, and the attachments work easily. Only issue is the battery. If you are planning on using any other battery, don't. They apparently all make small changes so they won't fit each other. Very frustrating. Same size, just put the groves in a slightly different spot so they are not interchangeable. Only their 80V will apparently fit.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bad Ergonomics; Very Heavy; Not for Small Users
on July 16, 2022
Posted by: RAWReviewer

Gender:Female
I am female, 5'4" of proper weight, very handy, and strong.
I've been using this for a few months.
PROS: Powerful, Good Battery Life. Same battery for the Greenworks lawnmower that I own (and like).
CONS: 1. Very heavy, not balanced well, awkward to use. The 80-V battery is installed at one end and it is much heavier than the trimmer head at the other end. I have adjusted the shoulder strap and handle multiple times and find this extremely heavy and awkward. Also, the trigger is too high up on the shaft for me to comfortably keep it engaged. I either end up with a strained shoulder or back or both. 2. Installing new cutting line is straightforward, but it is very hard to turn the spool cap if you have small hands.
OVERALL: This may be a good trimmer for someone who is larger. It isn't good for someone who is 5'4". I used a Black & Decker 18-V string trimmer for years. It was ergonomically fine for both myself and my friends who were taller. I do realize that an 18-V battery is much lighter than an 80-V, but the B&D string trimmer was much better balanced and more comfortable. No, it was not as powerful, but it was able to do the job.
RECOMMEND? Only to tall people.

Love this mower! We have two Greenworks mowers now and will likely never buy anything else. Reliable, powerful, consistent. My wife actually loves to mow with this.

Powerful and Reliable but........

I bought this exact combo a couple of years ago and am pleased with the performance. What confounds and annoys me about this unit is the cumbersome process to re-load line onto the trimmer head. Why doesn't Greenworks offer a Quick Wind Head for this unit like the do for the 60V unit. If they do make such an upgrade, it is well hidden on their website. Because of this issue, I'll be abandoning my Greenworks 80V string trimmer for a competitors model which offers both a manual and a powerload feature that does not require disassembly of the trimmer head. I also have a Greenworks 80V blower and an 80V pole saw which I'm happy with so at least I'll still have a use for the battery.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great trimmer, jury's still out for other attachme

So far so good for the string trimmer. It started smoking a bit when using an edger attachment. I'm still hopeful it can work better with lower soil moisture.
