What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the powerful performance and exceptional battery life, with many completing full yard tasks on a single charge and appreciating the quiet operation compared to gas models. Users highlight the lightweight, well-balanced design and ease of use, particularly the simple startup and minimal maintenance. The compatibility with other tools using the same battery system is a major advantage. However, some customers report persistent spool and line feed issues, including jamming and difficulty reloading. Despite these drawbacks, most reviewers consider the switch from gas worthwhile and recommend the product.

Great Power

Would Recommend

I bought this to clear out some very over grown areas of my yard that my 28 volt greenworks weed eater could not handle well. This thing cut through like a hot knife through butter. It is a bit on the heavy side, but the strap helps a lot.

Awesome Trimmer with great battery, well balanced.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Switched over to this electric from gas, what a wonderful experience this was. The weight is much less even with the 4.0 battery because of the well-balanced trimmer. I have an acer of land with 60 trees that have to be trimmed around, also edged around the driveway and walks, the guard is well designed, so you don't get all the flying debris on you. Only took half of the battery to complete. Only had to tap once to extend the string, this is a...

Great value with lots of power

Would Recommend

What a great value on this string trimmer! We already had a snowblower and a leaf blower from Greenworks so we’re familiar with the brand. When our string trimmer died we decided it was time to go rechargeable. We already had 2 - 80 volt Greenworks batteries, so we only needed the trimmer. The trimmer was on sale so we were all in for less than $125 for this mighty machine. It did not come with much line, so luckily our replacement heads for our old trimmer popped right on and worked like a char...

Heavy and not very adjustable

Would Not Recommend

Ordered and found this item to be very heavy with the battery. The strap helps but not easy to adjust. If the head of the trimmer was adjustable it would help. By the time I got it to where I could use it, I found I had to tilt it up so high the strap was useless. Make the string head adjustable.

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...

Terrible Product

Really disappointed. The spool is impossible to deal with. Line does not extend with a tap. Terrible for edging the sidewalk. Bad purchase.

[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

Amazing tool!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just purchased this device five days ago and have used it nearly every day! The variable speed trigger enables the device to use less power (it seems) and can use continuously for nearly 30 minutes. The dual strings really knock things down very well.

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...

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.

A decent trimmer for sure. But a couple of seasons on now and the line won’t feed. Hours spent popping off the pieces and aligning arrows… but all to no avail now. .

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.
