[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Would give 5 stars if the battery lasted longer. I have to swap and charge twice each time I cut my grass...kind of annoying. Aside from that, no complaints.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got mine in today and all three pieces (Lawn Mower, Weed Eater, Leaf Blower) were very easy to setup and performed excellently. I love all the thoughtful features included in these but the thing I love the absolute most is that the lawnmower has a cover for the battery in case you were to get caught out in the rain, and the lawnmower is extremely gentle with almost no vibration whatsoever which is HUGE for me because I typically hate push mowers just because they make my hands itchy but not this one. The cut was excellent and it seemed to use less power when cutting less congested areas and it would ramp up the power when cutting more congested areas.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While the 13" trimmer does not have a wide swath of clearing, nevertheless, because it gets into small nooks and crannies with ease, I find it a good buy. It is relatively lightweight, considering the 80V battery is pretty heavy, but a shoulder strap is not needed (at least not for me, and I'm over 80 years old). I have not replaced any string, so I cannot testify to the ease of restringing the machine, but going by GreenWorks reputation and my experience with two other GreenWorks products, I am confident it is manageable without too much ado.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Environmentally Safe, Effective
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great light weight trimmer. I have the heavy duty trimmer attachment, capable, but it gets heavy after a while so this lightweight is just what I needed.
Locked up on second light use, and motor smoked...

I bought this a couple weeks ago. First time I used it, it failed to run a couple times when I squeezed the switch, and had some light smoke coming out of the trimmer head. Just used it today for the second time... After about 30 feet of light border trimming, it stopped working all together, and smoked pretty bad... I thought maybe it overheated, so I let it sit for about 30 minutes... When I tried it again, it acted like the trimmer head was locked up, and smoke came out of the trimmer head, again... Going to contact them Monday, and see what they're plan is...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The trimmer itself was fine. The issue is when I tried to find a replacement spool. I tried winding the string, but it is almost impossible to keep lines tight before getting this inserted into the device. I called support and they referred me to a replacement spool, but it doesnt fit at all. According to the sales rep, the item would fit on my trimmer. But nope.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, this Greenworks 80V combo kit delivers impressive performance. The mower cuts clean and has plenty of power, the blower is strong enough to handle heavy leaves, and the string trimmer is lightweight and easy to maneuver. Everything feels well-built and is a great value for a cordless setup.
However, the biggest downside is the battery runtime. The kit comes with two 2.0Ah batteries, which only give you around 15 minutes of use per battery on most tools—less if you’re using turbo or tackling heavier jobs. It’s really frustrating to have great tools that can’t run long enough to finish even a small yard in one go. I found myself stopping too often to recharge.
If this kit came with 4.0Ah or even 5.0Ah batteries, it would be nearly perfect. Hopefully, Greenworks considers offering that option in the future.
If you already have other 80V batteries or plan to upgrade them, this kit is a great investment. Otherwise, be prepared to either work in short bursts or purchase higher-capacity batteries separately.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello Joel77. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the 80V combo kit. Batteries are the costliest item to manufacture and ship in any kit. Full kits including a tool, battery, and charger are priced affordably so that consumers can begin building that line of tools and move forward purchasing tool-only units. When you purchase batteries on their own, it is more notable the cost that they carry. One of the many benefits of the Greenworks 80V platform is the interchangeability of the batteries. If additional batteries are purchased in a combo pack (tool + battery) for another Greenworks 80V tool, you will have an extra battery that would provide you with the additional run time. Alternatively, additional batteries can be purchased to extend the run time. This unit is compatible with 80V Greenworks batteries (only). Should you have any further questions or warranty needs, please contact us directly through chatbot on Greenworks Tools website that will direct you to a Live agent or call us at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS). We are here to help.
