Customer Reviews for Greenworks - 80-Volt 16-Inch Cutting Diameter Straight Shaft Grass Trimmer (Battery Not Included) - Green

Verified Purchase:Yes
Works good, but string advance requires a very hard strike against the ground to make it work, this could lead to future damage.

I was tired of gasoline engine problems plaguing me multiple times a year. After pulling my shoulder trying to start a three month old string trimmer, I said enough. I read every review I could find and they pointed to Greenworks. I bought this particular one for the attachment capability. I can use the edger from my gas edger. I have a lot of bordered flower beds, two driveways and 150’ of driveway. I got it all trimmed on one charge and still had enough of a charge left to swap the battery to my lawn mower and mow my 1/4 acre lawn. It is very lightweight compared to the typical gas models. It takes only a slight tap to feed the line and it is so quiet. All of those are great traits. But you want to know the best of all? It does not use or smell like gas.
I would recommend this to a friend!

80V 16" cordless trimmer. STB456 2101202
on June 20, 2023

Gender:Male
We bought this 10/22
The battery on this trimmer mounts sideways. It's very heavy and hard to handle without killing your arm. have they redesigned the way the battery mounts? You have to hold the battery end because the tool wants to flip to the heavy side. I see the new ones are STB460. Are these better?
Pros: Environmentally Safe, Powerful
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Excellent power and versatility

Works with my existing Trimmer plus Edger, Blower, and Husq string trimmer attachments that I currently have. Pop in the 2amp and 4amp batteries from my mower and good to go. I was skeptical of the batteries from the start as for tools, they become throw-away after the manufacturers end the old voltage specs. But I can't say how nice it is to use GreenWorks Tools. The string trimmer with my blower attachment is stronger than my existing gas trimmer and no more smelling like gas when I'm done due to ethanol based gas destroying the fuel lines. Makes easy work of fall leaves. Same positive experience with their mower. Excellent products.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This makes a great addition to my battery powered lawn care system. Since now my mower, leaf blower and trimmer all use the same batteries, I no longer have to deal with any gas powered lawn products. I live on over an acre property with lots of trees and gardens and highly recommend this and all Greenworks 80v lawn products!
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Environmentally Safe, Effective, Powerful

Hello John 45,
We apologize for any trouble you have encountered and appreciate your feedback on this matter. It is possible that the trimmer head just needs to be worked in, as this should be able to be completed by hand. This string trimmer head has been designed for very quick and efficient reload while being easy to rewind. We understand that for some new customers this task may seem overwhelming/difficult but once they do it a few times it’s quite easy – as easy as replacing a spool. It’s also cheaper and more convenient for customers to rewind the trimmer head because they can use any generic .095” trimmer line and save money on more costly replacement spools. If you are experiencing issues with reloading the string, we would be happy to see how we can help! Please kindly give us a call at please contact us at 1-888-909-6757 or submit an email to info@greenworkstools.com and include the headline "Help Request - Reviewer Response".
