My wife got the first one because of the weight and handling of a gas powered weed eater and we have given one to our daughter and just ordered a new 2.0 great tool and easy to use and maintain!
I purchased the weedeater/trimmer and blower combo well over a year ago and I still love them! They are light enough for me to use without killing my back and super easy as well. My husband didn't think they would 'do the job' and continued to use his heavy gas-powered tools until he ran out of gas and had to use mine! Now I catch him going for mine when I'm not looking! We have a big yard (over an acre), so I purchased an extra heavy duty battery to change out, and that does the trick. The neighbor lady saw how easy the trimmer works, now she wants one!
I continually recommend WORX Products to people when we talk about lawn care. I even have my son-n-laws hooked. My neighbor most always let's me edge his lawn after mowing, as his edger just doesn't do the job like my WORX GT. JDMC
I bought this to replace my Gas Trimmer. It is heavy and awkward to manipulate, Worx is lighter and easy to use in any position. Very comfortable and not tiring.
