" ... Batteries last longer about 10 minutes continuous each , need both for a an average yard. ... "
" ... It's nice , just make sure you have your back up battery charged, if you have a large yard then I suggest you dont get a cordless electric , but it works well with my small yard ... "
" ... However, with the quick charge kit and having two battery packs, it wasn't that big of a deal. ... "
" ... The battery has a solid 10 to 15 minutes of strong life, which is all I need. ... Plus, it comes with 2 batteries. ... "
" ... This one is more rugged and comes with two batteries so (if you keep them properly charged) you never run out. ... "
" ... I am converting to battery powered tools. ... "
" ... there are two batteries and they last a long time. ... "
" ... - No noise (battery operated). ... Depending on the size of your yard and the size of the battery pack you have, you may either need another battery or a larger capacity one. ... With the smaller battery, for my needs I am getting around 45-60 mins of use. ... "

" ... Use trimmer around the house and yard and edger for sidewalk and driveway. ... "
" ... It's a great product but I wish they had some type of blade adapters with it to cut thicker brush. ... "
" ... I used it to trim the grass and it worked fine. ... Gave it two stars because the trimmer part worked fine. ... "
" ... This trimmer was very easy for me to maneuver. ... "
" ... Trimmer is good my wife loves the strong blower. ... "
" ... The power is less than a gas trimmer for obvious reasons, so there is a trade-off. ... It is adequate for small yards with average trimming needs. ... "
" ... Love this trimmer! ... "
" ... This is a great addition for any home lawn mom or dad that needs to get trimming and edging done on the weekend and still wants some relaxation time too. ... "

" ... Yes it takes a bit of time but it does the job just make sure to have extra batteries and the fast charger and your good to go. ... "
" ... I have used many cord trimmers, gas, electric, and battery powered. ... "
" ... No extension cords, light weight, holds a charge and easy to store. ... "
" ... Comes with 2 batteries, ended up getting 2 more along with a fast charger, because I was also using this at my church too and the 2 batteries get only through about 3 hours of my driveway, sidewalk and trimming. ... "
" ... Im really happy with this product, it is light, and no gas to deal with I just charge an go. ... "

" ... A piece broke off, maybe it can be replaced, but it really isn't worth the effort. ... "
" ... It wouldn't stay in place so I just don't bother using it. ... "
" ... I give this product one star because the spooling line keeps getting stuck. ... "
" ... So frustrating, normally it breaks you just open it and shoot the string down the hole well not on this one the string sticks together and its hell finding it once it breaks. ... "
" ... Doesn't hold very much line. ... "
" ... Only problem is the bracket that holds the edging wheel is tricky to hold on. ... "
" ... You have to unscrew two screws, reposition the shaft, tighten the screws, check the length. ... "
" ... have used this a total of three times and where this wheel assembly attaches has already cracked and I haven't even used the wheel assembly ... "
