Ratings & Reviews for Greenworks Pro 80-volt max 16-in Straight Shaft Battery String Trimmer 2 Ah (Battery Included) (Charger Included)

It's Great!

easy to put together and use. i got this after i bought the lawn mower with the same battery, so i just needed the tool.

Great Product for a simple light job.

Works great! Easy and convenient to use. I have used string trimmers like this before but this is the first one I've ever owned, and I love it. With this I am able to do a complete edge trim of about 500ft length with 1 40V 2Amp battery.

80 volt trimmer

This is a great trimmer I use it everywhere I need trimming .the battery last a lone time before it needs a charge great product.

Buy at your own risk. Doesn't last.

Ran for 10 minutes then the motor started smoking and burnt up. Not a very well built tool if it can't last longer than that. Called customer service and it said I was 159 in line. Left message and haven't heard from them since. Not a very good company to deal with.

Cutting weeds!

This trimmer has the cutting power of a gas trimmer with out the fuss.

Works as advertised - wish debris cover was larger

Works as advertised! I was surprised how much debris comes back towards me when using the trimmer...wish the plastic cover was a little bit bigger to deflect it.

Works well

This tool works well. Battery charged in 30 minutes. Full charge lasts throughout, full performance until battery shut off. Bump feed for the line advancement stuck on the second time used, easily fixed by removing spool cap.

Well built

Very well built, but heavy. Luckily it comes with a shoulder belt which carries a lot of the load. Performs very well, and the line feed worked longer than my old trimmer. It also has an on/off power button which shuts power off if you aren't currently using it (nice safety feature). Another thing I like is that it can accept both the large 40 volt or the small 40 volt battery.

Trimmer Replacement

this is a replacement unit and it is working great like all my other GreenWorks Tools.

Great product

It went together easily and works as advertised. Some have complained about the lack of replacement spools but the instructions for reloading the spool seem straight forward. I feel like it eats the battery quicker than the Greenworks 40V chainsaw but I still finished my yard with 2 out of 4 (half) battery lights. Not needing to mix fuel is fantastic.

Great compliment to my Greenworks lawnmower

Well built — not an abundance of cheap plastic. Easy to operate and uses the same size 40 volt battery as the GW lawnmower I purchased a couple of years back. This multitool has a WIDE array of available attachments making the name “string trimmer” somewhat a misnomer. Note: It’s quieter than those noisy gas operated devices but still not quiet (to my ears) when in operation; of course it’s perfectly quiet when ON but not spinning, unlike gas operated trimmers.

Battery compatibility not clear

Bought this trimmer planning to use it with a couple of 2Ah batteries I have for my chainsaw, as these are listed as compatible when you look at the kit (trimmer, battery and charger) specifications. They work, but after about 5 minutes the trimmer shuts down and the batteries are too hot to touch. You cannot even charge them unless you wait about an hour for them to cool down, If you try to charge them before that the charger shows the batteries are charged. So I have to buy a 4Ah battery, but ...
