" ... This trimmer is powerful, lightweight and runs over an hour on 1 fully charged battery. ... "
" ... Very happy it uses same battery as my Greenworks mower. ... "
" ... I worked for 40 minutes last night and did not use up one fresh 4AH battery. ... "
" ... I do recommend the 4amh battery. ... "
" ... I have the g-max mower, blower and chainsaw and I love that the same battery powers all of them. ... "
" ... I Love the battery operated garden equipment. ... "
" ... Great battery powered trimmer. ... I just wish I jumped on this battery-powered bandwagon sooner! ... "
" ... This is a powerful trimmer, and the battery lasted a more than reasonable amount of time. ... The battery lasted for all the main areas and about 15 big trees. ... "

" ... I bought this unit so that I could use my existing Trimmer Plus attachments. ... "
" ... I've had an 18 volt B&D system for years - chain saw, alligator loppers, hedge trimmers, pole chain saw, leaf blower, string trimmer, plus all of my shop tools. ... I just shelled out some major bucks on the Greenworks system - chain saw, pole chain saw, pole hedge trimmer, string trimmer, and leaf blower. ... I used the chainsaw to make several cuts, ranging from branches, to cutting down a tree that was 8 inches in diameter. ... After several cuts, I took the same battery (without recharging it) and put it on the pole chain saw. ... I then cut several more branches, tried it from various angles, and was pleased with the result. ... B&D has a great design with that tool - being able to safely cut branches that are lying on the ground, or limb trees while you are climbing them - that is a tool Greenworks needs to add to their lineup so I don't have to keep the B&D system just for that one tool . ... "
" ... Plenty of power to trim tree limbs. ... I have a brush trimmer that I haven't tried yet, but I expect no problems with it. ... Used the pole saw attachment again today - trimmed A LOT of tree branches. ... "
" ... So let me say right off of the bat - I like this trimmer. ... And all of my extra implements work with this trimmer (chain limb saw (Ryobi) and hedge trimmer (generic)), so that's nice. ... This trimmer handled tall grass and woody stemmed- weeds pretty well ... Also note that I've been running .98 gator line in the stock head, and it cuts better than the stock .88 line. ... So, overall, a good trimmer for quick jobs around the ranch. ... "
" ... Very happy with this trimmer. ... "
" ... The battery pack itself weighs about the same as the trimmer without it. ... I have approximately 500 ft of lawn space out front of my house that needs edging/trimming along with some extra on the sides and back lawn and this trimmer on normal mode has about 1 bar of battery power to spare by the time I'm finished. ... Overall, I think both my husband and i would gladly buy this trimmer again if we were in the market. ... "
" ... This works as well as my gas trimmer. ... "
" ... First trimmer I've had in thirty years that the string feed actually works. ... "

" ... Hope GreenWorks expands the hand tool line. ... "
" ... I absolutely rely on the strap that came with it to help support it. ... "
" ... Not so sure about the Tap-n-Go head, as most of them are junk, but it works great for now, so we'll see . ... "
" ... If you are a strong, big man or woman in good physical shape, that should not be an issue. ... "
" ... and I was trying to do it by hand with a machete. ... It comes with a shoulder strap (which I highly recommend because this thing is very heavy.) ... The weight is nicely distributed though so I was able to cut for over an hour without hurting my back. ... Once I got the weed eater head off, the other one was fairly simple to put on. ... "
" ... I just snap the strap across my shoulder/chest area. ... "
" ... Easy to release the string, isn't too heavy, and it just works well all around. ... "
" ... Powerful and well balanced when using the strap. ... "

" ... easy to handle and charge love it ... "
" ... Generally, for my yard I can manage on the one charge. ... Put it in the charger to recharge. ... "
" ... I am sure glad I went with edger, I have gone thru a dozen battery charges, it works great, string feed works well. ... "
" ... I have a small yard so I can get several edgings per charge. ... "
" ... I've only used it one time, but it trimmed my 1.5 acres like a champ on a single charge (barely though). ... "
" ... I am able to use both for my front and back yard on one charge. ... "
" ... Great battery, holds a charge. ... "
" ... I have a chainsaw from Greenworks that came with a battery and charger. ... "

" ... Pole saw, both great products. ... "
" ... Just bought a pole saw. ... "
" ... It works in high thick grass as well and doesn't bind or get snagged. ... "
" ... Once you get used to holding the extra weight, with or without the strap, keeping straight line isn't too difficult. ... "
" ... Easy to release the string, isn't too heavy, and it just works well all around. ... "
" ... Assembly was pretty easy as all one had to do was put on the weed guard and the handle. ... "
" ... no hot engine parts! ... "

" ... Tried to reattach and it got cross threaded or threaded so tightly that it seized up and wouldn’t rotate. ... "
" ... They found one (Ryobi, I think) that seemed to fit but the threads were the same size a different pitch! ... "
" ... The manuals had bent pages and the entire box was in disarray. ... "
" ... The self-feed bump works reliably and doesn't seem to disgorge more than a few inches of string at a time, so each 10-12' fill will last for multiple charge session. ... My only complaint with this model is that tall weeds will wrap around the shaft and quickly unscrew the cartridge if you fail to decapitate them slowly from the top down. ... "
" ... Line won't feed. ... "
" ... However, you'll only get about 10 feet of line on the head. ... "
" ... If you turn it 90 degrees to edge vertically, holding it is extremely awkward and you can't see where you're cutting. ... "
