Impossible to get spool replacement

Bought 2 month go and it's came without replacement spool. Part number for spool technical support providing 2930102 not correct. Impossible to order and even put back order.
Response from greenworkstools.comBy Greenworks, Customer Care, June 7, 2022
Hello Leon 362,
Sorry to hear of you frustrating experience! For this model, you require either our three-pack 2930102 or the single spool 321082451. The three-pack must be purchased through our helpline at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS) or if you prefer the single, you can use the following link: 321082451 https://greenworks.ordertree.com/spool-kit-2.html
You may also rewind the existing spool using the instructions found in your owner's manual.
Hope this help!

Don't waste your money on this!

I got this trimmer as a deal with my GW mower. The convenience and freedom of going cordless was very appealing. However, from the time of its very first use, this piece of crap has been nothing but frustrating. No matter how many times you bump the spool (pro tip...DO NOT BUY A BUMP TRIMMER!) the dual lines constantly end up retreating inside the trimmer causing you to have to constantly stop, open up the spool, and reset them, only to have it happen again minutes later. I have read and re-read the manual, watched countless videos, and attempted to fix this thing numerous times to no avail. Bottom line...it's JUNK, plain and simple.

Hello there,
We're sorry you're having issues with the line feed on your GreenWorks string trimmer. If the line keeps retreating back into the spool housing this may indicate the line is snapping at long lengths and the spool has been wound the wrong way.
First, always have the guard on the unit. There's a blade on the guard that helps to maintain the length of the line.
Second, ensure you do not leave any line on the notches. The notches are design for storage and will prevent line feed if the line is not released from the notches.
Third, check and ensure you are winding both lines the correct way.
Hope this helps!
If you're still having issues, please contact us at 1-888-909-6757. We're happy to help.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had this product for some time now and it’s been great! The mower is lightweight and easy to use, the weed eater slices like butter, and the leaf blower is the best I’ve ever owned!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Unusable Battery Life
on April 12, 2025
Posted by: RunningOnEmpty
Gender:Male
Fresh out of the box not even able to cut my lawn for 15 minutes until it runs out of battery. Just enough to make you mad that you started to begin with and your yard looks worse than if you hadn’t done anything. I can only imagine the 5 Star reviews are bot reviews or people living in Barbie’s dream house sized mowing areas. Truth be told it’s a waste of money and even getting a second set of batteries won’t solve the problem as the charging time VASTLY outweighs the run time. Will be looking to return

Hello RunningOnEmpty.
We are sorry to hear you are unhappy with the runtime you are getting.
The 48v self-propelled lawn mower cuts up to 1/2 acre when using the (2) fully charged 5Ah batteries (included). The maximum advertised run time is based on no load. It is important to recognize that the Runtimes can vary depending on a few factors, including but not limited to if the self-propel feature is used throughout the entire cut, grass texture and consistency, cutting height, and lawn size. Please note, users must use (2) fully charged Greenworks 24V battery packs. Do not use battery packs other than Greenworks 24V. Ensure both batteries are charged 100%. If each battery has a different charge state, the run-time of the machine is subject to the lowest powered battery (For example: one battery is charged 100%, and the other is charged 50%, the unit will only run until the 50% battery is depleted). When using (2) batteries with different amp hours (Ah), the machine will run until the lower (Ah) battery is depleted. . It is unfortunate to read that you are looking to return the unit, if you wish to address your concerns directly with one of our product specialists first, please contact us by Live Chat through the customer contact page located on our website or call Greenworks toll-free helpline at 1-888-909-6757 before returning to the store. We would like the opportunity to speak with you to see whether your run time would be considered average.

The batteries suck. Imagine cutting your grass and 25 minutes into it, the battery does and you have to wait 30 minutes for the batteries to cool down. And then almost three hours for it to charge again. And then repeat the process again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from greenworkstools.comBy Greenworks, September 15, 2025
Hello Donald D. We are sorry to hear that the included 24V battery runtime does not meet your expectations. As we are not sure of the condition of your lawn, we are not exactly sure why the battery did not meet your expectations. The maximum runtime often applies to a flat, open yard. Slopes and obstacles require more power, and users can expect running time to be less, if this is the case. Runtime measurements are also related to the condition of the grass and if it is well-maintained. Tall, thick grass requires more power, and you must mow it slower, consuming added runtime. Here are a few tips to ensure the max runtime is achieved. Ensure you charge the battery fully before each use, maintain the battery properly by cleaning terminals, avoid extreme temperatures during storage, consider buying a second battery for larger lawns, mow in a straight line. If the grass has been left to exceed 4 inches, we advise that you raise the cutting height and cut no more than one-third of the length of grass at a time, wait a couple of days and do another one-third, cut when grass is dry and walk at steady pace to allow the blade to work more efficiently. As the lawn becomes consistently maintained you will see the cut and runtime improve. Hope these tips help! For any specific questions or concerns, feel free to contact Greenworks via Live Chat on our website www.greenworkstools.com, call us at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS), or visit the FAQ section anytime.

I absolutely LOVE this trimmer. It works much better than imagined and so much easier than my last gas trimmer. No more oil, gas problems, no pulling, much less shaking. In fact minimal hand irritation and so much more quieter than my old gas trimmer. Works fast and I get my full acre lawn worth of trimming done in a full charge. Very impressed with this and highly recommend if you are on the fence. Battery charges pretty fast right out of the box and its lighter and easier to use than traditional gas powered trimmers. Just 100% pleased.
