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.

Works well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good, but it could come with sidewalk edger wheels on it

Best trimmer I have owned!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This trimmer makes trimming so much easier, quieter, and efficient. I can stop & restart frequently. No need for ear protection. Can slow down rotation around sensitive plants. Easy to reload. Best trimmer I have owned!

Greenworks String Trimmer

This was supposed to be a new weed wacker but after using it for 1 hour I started having problems with the lock out button not moving. I contacted Lowes and they said I had to go through Greenworks company. For 2 days Greenworks has not returned my call. I bought the tool from Lowes and they should help me.

Can’t Get Enough Greenworks Tools

This string trimmer was the first Greenworks tool I purchased over a couple of years ago. I was so pleased with its service that I have since purchased a chainsaw, leaf blower, hedge trimmer and tiller. All tools work seamlessly with the same batteries. So wonderful to have things that are always ready to go. No problems with stale gas or gummed up carburetors. Whole lot lighter than gas counterparts as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This trimmer is outstanding and handles the toughest jobs! The parts are a bit difficult to get as it relates to the trimmer head, but all in all a great buy and does the job better than gas powered trimmers.

Solid and dependable for average uses!

Would Recommend

I've had this trimmer for a few months now and have been using it to go along fence lines and edging sidewalks. My yard is about 1,000 square feet in an urban setting with sidewalks and other developed edges, so being able to trim and keep grass from overhanging is important. I find this does the job very well and has plenty of power for the task. If you're in a more rural setting with thicker-than-average weeds, it might not be quite powerful enough. I can also do all my edging with only just a...

So disappointed in weed eater

Would Not Recommend

I haven't tried the blower yet, but the string weed eater was extremely disappointing. The only thing it can cut is grass, it is useless on the weeds, which is why I needed it in the first place.

80V of power

Would Recommend

I was unable to find a trimmer cap for my 60V model. I decided to upgrade to the 80V model. I never encountered problems with my 60V model so i knew the 80v would be just as reliable. It took all of 5 minutes to unbox. The moment i heard the fan activate while charging the battery i was sold. I have a little under an acre. This model performed effectively and efficiently. Upon completion i still had one bar. It would’ve easily been two but i prolonged the process. I’m impressed and really like G...

Brushless String Trimmer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I find the Trimmer to be a bit on the heavy side for residential use.

40 Volt Trimmer

Would Recommend

Great trimmer, I bought this without rhe battery. I already had another Greenworks tool that used th same battery. Does the same job as my gass trimmer. Battery life is great. I use a 2ah battery. Only downside of this trimming is that it is on the heavy side.

Good trimmer

I like the way the unit is powered and cuts grass well. I do find the the trimmer to be a bit heavy compared to what I have been using in the past. I will have to adjust to the different weight and feel.

Good performance, horrible restring process

While it's running, the unit does a good job of powering through common weed and grasss chores. However, once you run out of line, you have to remove the spool from the bump mechanism and head and they only provide a fully filled replacement spool. It's not as simple as most of the other trimmers out there, which allow you to respool while the cartridge is still attached. This one is borderline infuriating. Hopefully Greenworks will put this dinosaur out to pasture and get with the times. String...

Hands down winner over gas models

Would Recommend

I have several other Greenworks tools that all use the same battery, and at 40V I can get a lot of edging done with this. It's so much better than my gas model. It's a little lighter (with a 5A or 6A battery it's not featherweight) than the gas one I have. It's also quieter and most importantly I don't smell like exhaust when I'm done. There's very little maintenance on electric tools which is a big plus. The guard keeps most of the grass and debris from hitting me, which I can't say is the cas...
