Ratings & Reviews for Greenworks Pro 60-volt Max 16-in Straight Shaft Battery String Trimmer (Battery and Charger Not Included)

Great Blower

My previous Greenworks 40-volt blower died a couple months after my 4-year warranty expired (bummer). I was thinking about getting another one, but this new 60-volt literally blows away the older one. This new one has a lower MPH rating, but it is much more powerful and cleans sidewalks, driveway, and patio much, much better. The only negative would be that this 60-volt blower is a little heavier than my previous one. Highly recommend this product!

Trimmer

Just bought this trimmer because I didn't want to bother with a gas one. I got tired of lugging my cord around the property to trim. I have to say I am impressed with the performance. It does what it says it does. My only negative is the run time. I have an acre of land and it last just enough to trim the large front yard. I think that I would benefit from having a higher Amp battery. Will consider buying a back up battery to finish the rest of the acre. Overall, I do recommend this trim...

Powerful Easy Operation

My husband and I are seniors in our seventies and need help caring for our large corner lot so this year a young couple has been mowing and edging our yard. They didn’t own a blower so have been using my loud vintage plugin blower to do cleanup. Of course that requires dragging a cumbersome long electric cord around. I decided to help them out and after much online research and comparison I purchased the Green-works Pro 60-Volt Max Lithium Ion Brushless Cordless Electric Leaf Blower as a gift f...

Works Great

Bought it a few days ago and loved using it the very next day

Love it

Works great and plenty of power. No issues with battery as others have said. Love not having to roll up long extension cord.

Excellent for jobs large and small

We've had this string trimmer for several months and have used it for many jobs. The biggest has been clearing a wetlands area that we didn't want to mow because of some sensitive native plants. It easily mows down tall grasses and more substantial growth. The battery is long-lasting and charges quickly. I'm a 5'4" 50+ woman and found it initially a bit heavy, but after lots of use, it's fine. Building up the arm muscles! The only issue would be the feed on the string. I've never found a string...

My first battery string trimmer

I bought this string trimmer in November 2018, still working great. I've been using it and two of my neighbors/family have also been using it and I have had no problems and battery life is still great after two seasons of use. I was tired of always have to mix the fuel for my gas weed-eater, pulling and pulling on the starter rope over and over till I finally got it to start and then it would vapor lock when I stopped it. I get done with my weed-eating and edging so much faster now and it's ...

Battery/charger system is no good

The blower itself works well. The battery and charging system, not so much. I charged it fully before using and it lasted 20 minutes (with no turbo used) before the battery died. After that, I could never get a full charge from the battery because I've had constant issues getting it to charge, despite following the user manual. I've had it 6 days and am tired of messing with it. It's going back to Lowes today.

Blows the rest out of the water

The boost button is great when extra blowing power is needed, this feature is a great battery saver because you do not need full power all the time.

Lighter than original, Load N' Go is amazing!

I have been a longtime Greenworks user, and this tool does not disappoint. There are a lot of great features (lighter than original 60v trimmer, commercial grade trim line capable [.095"], but the Load N' Go is the best. No more tangled string that is difficult to respool at the end of a day of yard work. Just measure the string (15 feet), feed it into the spool, and crank the knob to load it up. Amazing product that improves on something that was already great.

Turbo Charged

It's really nice not to have to deal with gas. It is also a whole lot cleaner & quieter. I don't have to worry about upkeep other than keeping the batteries charged. Most of the gas tools are just about as cheap to replace than get fixed unless you can do it yourself, but with the Greenworks just replace the battery.

Leaf Blower

Works well ,a little heavy, runs about 20 minutes , you will need two batteries to finish the job.

Strong Wind, Heavy, Short Work Time

This is a heavy duty piece of equipment, although the 2.5 amp-hr Battery doesn't last more then 30 minutes.

Great product

Had a gas blower that did good but had to spend time mixing gas or buying expensive Trufuel to power old unit. Came across this baby and now when I'm ready it's ready, just pop in a battery and go. Does just as good as the gas unit but cut prep time to "0". I love the power but best part is grab and go. Amazing products. I have several 60 volt Greenworks products and I love having batteries that are interchangeable so I can have a charged battery to pop in and go. Always waiting on me not me wai...

Greenworks Pro 16 in. String Trimmer

I've been using a battery-powered string trimmer for years but it took 3 batteries just to trim the yard and it wasn't very powerful. I don't have the upper body strength to start a gas-powered one so my Google search turned up Greenworks in several reviews. I read in one reiew the battery will last around 45 minutes and I know that would be enough. I also liked the idea this model would fit other tools. I did have some concerns about the length since I'm only 5' tall, but I was able to adjust t...

Great power for a cordless

As good or better power than my corded 12 amp blower. Has a cruise control and variable speed so you can do areas where you want little power, so you don't blow the debris up in the air (like a broom). Turbo is nice sometimes but without turbo it has plenty of power. Battery doesn't have a memory so you can recharge when ever you want, the charger has a cooling fan and also auto shut off. It's only been used three times but if it holds up, it will be a great buy. Using this blower for profes...

Jam packed with value!

Just bought this as a Father’s Day gift for myself. It’s jam packed with features for the price. I looked at all the other models out there and you just get more for your $ with Greenworks. We will see about durability but they also have the best warranty.

Worked well; wished the charge lasted longer

Cut well and well balanced. I set it for 16" cut, which the instructions said would reduce the battery function. Lasted about 30 minutes.

Best bang for your buck

Finally found a decent trimmer. I've tried all varieties and this one does the best. Only negative is the weight, but it doubles as a workout without going to the gym.

Suprised

Both products are very powerful. I was not expecting that much power from a battery operated machine.
