Very easy to operate.

I just bought this a few weeks ago and every time I used it I’m so very glad I did purchase it.

Very good but watch line length

Would Recommend

Unit is light and durable. It loads itself quickly and can take different types of line well. It advances line fairly well although sometimes the line gets stuck and I’ve had to remove the line and freshen it a couple times. After I loaded it with less line the unit functioned better. Overall a very good unit and I would buy another. Battery run time is excellent. I also like that it telescopes.

Great unit

Love it. I have better control than I have with my nice echo unit. Run time is great. Love the no bump head. No more ufo's from bumping to get string out

Love the Line IQ!!

Would Recommend

After using various trimmers over several decades, I truly love the power and innovation of this one. The Line IQ technology is the best the best I have ever used. The cutting line always stays at the correct length. Line changes are quick and easy. Variable speed is easy to control, and the 4 Ah battery supplied is more than enough for my needs.

Line problems

The powerhead that holds the line eats the supplied line. I’ve owned many tremors in the past, but this one goes through line faster than seven or 10 minutes worth how can that be corrected? I have even gone so much using the low settings on the motor.
