Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
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.

Would RecommendWeedeater is great. Runs a long time and line lasts a long time and doesn't get tangled easily.
Easy to use
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just bought the tool and charger as my first battery powered string trimmer. Used it for just a few moments but it seems it will work well for our small front and back yards.

String Does Not Work
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this trimmer two years ago and now avoid it entirely. The sting is impossible to load, never feeds out by itself and breaks off too fast when I feed it out manually. I bought it because I like the mower and wanted to match charging types. I HATE THIS TOOL!!!! Stay away.

Trimmer is great/Registration SUCKS
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You’d think in 2025 for the top of the line tool you could find a QR code to shoot to register. But NOOoooopp!’ You have to get your magnifying glass out to read then type in the thousand digit* serial number and model. *exaggeration

Decent trimmer, poor battery life
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Trimmer is very slow to ramp up (takes 3-4 seconds to get to usable speed), but once there it's nice and powerful and trims well. Main complaint is battery. I have a pair of the 2.5AH batteries, advertised as giving up to 50 minutes use each. I'm lucky if I can get 10 minutes of continuous trimming before they are out of energy and need a 45 minute recharge. I don't know where the 50-minutes comes from; maybe walking around doing little touc...

Excited to try it
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased a green Works mower just over two years ago. I’m so pleased with it. I just purchased a green works string trimmer to replace my current gas powered one. I’m very excited to try it. Been very pleased with the quality so far of Green works products.

Lightweight and powerful
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far we have been cutting wet weeds with this string trimmer. It is doing a much better job than I expected and my gas weed eater will be kept only as a backup. This has so much power and the run time with even the smaller battery is pretty decent. I'll be investing in some larger ah batteries soon to extend run time. Great product.

Great product!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super great trimmer! I love how easy it was to set up and no need for gas and oil. It is also very quiet and does a great job. It feels cheaply made, everything is a heavy plastic except the metal alloy shaft. It comes with a strap to help with the weight, which is nice because the battery is solid 10-15 lbs and acts as a counterweight.

STUCK BATTERY on First use

BAD BATTERY FROM THE START
Would Not RecommendI just bought this and the NEW battery will not charge. very disappointing. taking the unit back to have another ordered. I'll test the battery 1st before assembling anything as i had to disassemble the trimmer to return it. I'll revisit this review pending the replacement performance.
