Amazing String Trimmer

I have had the 80V cordless string trimmer for about a year now and it is definitely worth the price. I can take care of my 3 acres in almost half the time, though I do recommend having at least 2 batteries, I have 3 total. The only downside is that the push feed on the trimmer head finally broke and I can't seem to find one easily accessible that works with it.
We bought this last year to go with our new 80 Volt self propelled lawn mower.... I didn't mention it in the mower review, but the handle folds down and you can hang it.... Hang up the trimmer and no more messy garage... It peforms as well as a gas powered trimmer without fighting to start it... No more gas cans in our garage.... If my Yamaha could run on these batteries, I wouldn't have any gas in the garage.. I got the extra spool for quick changes, and I can do all my yard on one battery... Do away with gas and jump on board the Greenworks 80 Volt train... I love my Ryobi 18 Volt leaf blower, as I do all my 23 Ryobi Tools, wrong review... But when it dies, or when somebody gives me one, I will switch to a 80 Volt Greenworks 580 CFM Leaf Blower, Hint to Greenworks….
I have used this trimmer extensively and it has performed very well. No gas fume issues is a wonderful plus. Fast recharge and back in service. I love it.
I already owned a Greenworks blower and loved it, so, I when my old gas edger went out, I decided to get this string trimmer. I was assured that my supply of accessories for my old gas model would fit, and they have. The extra battery will come in handy as well. A big plus is how quiet this is. My ears love the sound of silence!I
Excellent design and powerful trimmer, eco friendly and super easy to use. The battery only holds a charge for about 30 mins. You need multiple batteries.
If you are on the fence about it switching to electric... do it. After a few uses has already proven how much better it is than my old gas Stihl trimmer. Charged it out the box in under 30 minutes was able to do my entire 1/3 acre yard with plenty of charge to spare. So much quieter, so much so that i thought it wouldn't cut through the wisteria that grows on my fence. My old stihl would stall but this went right through it without any problems. This is a sleeping giant with plenty of electric torque to boot that will shred through things my gas trimmer couldn't. So blown away. I'm glad I went with this model at 80v. Wish this was around sooner but so glad I found it. Not to mention how light it is in comparison. This is a no brainer folks. Make the switch.
The power and cutting abilities has been equal and maybe even greater than my last gas powered trimmer. The line that came with the trimmer is super strong and I was able to cut thick weeds. I'll be investing in attachments such as a hedge trimmer.
