I bought this weed eater last year and it is light weight and just right for me to handle, the fact that you get the spools for life is a real bonus, I would buy this again.
Had my blower and weed eater/edger for about 1 year. Love them. They are easy to use and do the job nicely. They are very light weight so I enjoy doing the work, so much more.... I have a large yard and the battery last until I am done each week. Then I recharge it so it will be ready for the next time. My husband has the gas powered equipment, but he now uses my battery equipment. Best investment I've made in awhile....
