First, this trimmer is made for someone who is at least 6 feet tall. I am 5'2". It is extremely awkward to use and very tiring. Second, it is supposed to be a dual line trimmer. When I change the line, it starts out dual, but doesn't take long for one of the strings to break off and I end up struggling with only one string.

works, sort of
Would Not RecommendFirst, I am a 5' 2" female. This trimmer is made for someone who is at least 6' tall. Very awkward and tiring to use. Second, it is supposed to be a dual line trimmer. It starts out that way when I put a new line in, but it doesn't take long for one of the lines to break off and I end up struggling to trim my grass with only one line. Third, I got this less than a year ago. The battery that came with it leaked and ended up spend $100 on a replacement battery. Entire experience is extremel...

However it arrived two days later. I didn’t mind.
Would RecommendI was able to talk to chat agent to get my purchase routed for delivery to Little Rock Arkansas. I finally received my package and it looks like crap. Part of merchandise dirty and scratched up. I hate to return stuff so I went ahead and put it together.

Not as powerful as gas efgers
Would Not RecommendGood but not as powerful as gas edgers. Less torque & thinner string. Guess I’ll have to figure out how to make it work to my satisfaction.

Bang for the buck
Would RecommendThis is a heavy duty trimmer! Perfect for my big yard with a great amount of power. Makes trimming a breeze. The trigger control allows for different speed. Battery life is great on this.

Best decision to switch.
I recently switched from Greenworks 60v line to the Skil 40v line. I had an issue with my Greenworks 60v polesaw and found that they no longer spared parts for the unit that was less than 5 years old. I decided right then to switch all my outdoor tools to Skil and will never look back. Anyone need a whole line of Greenworks 60v outdoor tools???

not worth the cost
Would Not RecommendThis Trimmer is very heavy; it does not have a shoder strap. The battery does not last very long; I can only get 1/4 of my yard done on the charge and it takes over 30 mints to charge it back up.

Battery Worries

Replacing the line is one pain. The directions say to push the line thru an eyelet to the other side. Good luck!!
