What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the 80V string trimmer and blower combo for exceptional power, quiet operation, and impressive battery longevity. Most highlight that performance matches or exceeds gas-powered models while being significantly quieter and lighter. The 2Ah and 2.5Ah batteries consistently complete full yard jobs on single charges, with many users appreciating the ecosystem compatibility across multiple tools. However, several customers report the bump feed string mechanism is unreliable, prone to tangling and jamming, with poor line separation causing frustration. Despite this flaw, most consider the overall performance and convenience worthwhile and remain loyal to the brand.

Amazing lewafblower, OK string trimmer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Powerfull battery, leafblower is amazing, string trimmer could be gold if the line feeding was a little bit easier.

Solid Build Heavy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First test and so far so good. Little heavy but shouldn't be an issue.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love my Greenworks trimmer. This is the second one I have . They have both been powerful and I definitely don’t miss the old pill string and mess associated with my old gas trimmers !

Power button demands strength

Would Not Recommend

Ordered a new weed eater. Love Greenworks, but this one, I don't know. Had to tape down the ignition button to use the machine! It sticks and I can't engage it to start the machine. Can I return it for one without this defect?

Fresh out of the box review

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Trimmer was easy to assemble and battery was fully charged within an hour. The trimmer did well at speed lower than my old gas trimmer. iI had plenty of power to cut the tougher weeds, and was a lot quieter than my gas trimmer. Bump feed head worked as expected.

Great trimmer except the bump feed is terrible

Ive had mine for 2 summers now, I love everything about it except the bump feed. Its a double line bump feed but it doesnt have a separator between the two lines so they get tangled ALL.THE.TIME. I've re run the feed pretty much every use and no matter how I spool the thing, its always getting jammed. Greenworks has double line bump feeds with separators and oddly doesnt have one for this model - so I'd actually urge you guys to not get this one and to check for models that have accessory replac...

good with some drawbacks

Would Not Recommend

I bought this to replace a 12" B&D unit for trimming around my landscaping and flowerbeds, and since I have an 80V lawnmower, I thought it made sense. First off this unit is very powerful, and somewhat awkward to use with any precision- its really more of a ranch or farm tool for clearing heavy brush and tall grass, not fine trimming around flower beds. Also, being so powerful, you need to be really careful around your downspouts, edging, deck posts, etc- it will grab an aluminum down spout an...

Good Trimmer

Would Recommend

This trimmer is easy to use, not too heavy. I’m not sure how well it would do for heavy duty trimming but typical trimming around the yard is perfect. Would recommend.

I use this for my landscaping business.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this string trimmer three years ago. I bought my first one in 2014, I worked it hard. It quit on me and I bought this one. I also have a 80volt blower, 21 inch mower and your 18 inch chainsaw. My customers love that I use battery powered tools. I love that I don’t have to carry around gasoline. I love that your tools are so much quieter and have less vibration. I highly recommend them every chance I get. I am just a single older woman...
