Second one of these I've had, thought the first was just a fluke. How on earth can this unit be fully charged and then only run for about 3 minutes of continuous use? I suppose this would work well for trimming an indoor terrarium, but any yard- even a postage stamp-sized yard is too great a match for this unit.

Great lightweight product
This is the second of this model I've purchased after years of good service on the first. Before discovering it I could never trim as all models were too heavy for a shoulder problem. Obviously this little one can't take on heavy weeds, but works well with grass around fences and trees.

It is nice and light.
Overall a satisfied customer but the thumb button should be on top of the hand grip not the side. It made my hand tired.

Battery doesn't last long
You can't do any extensive trimming with this because the battery charge doesn't last very long. Otherwise, the trimmer performs well to trim small areas, is very light, and the cutting line is efficient.

8" electric trimmer
I bought this trimmer about a month ago for the size since I don't have a lot of trimming. It is poorly balanced in my opinion and the string cover is extremely difficult to remove. I love my Toro mower but the trimmer is one I am sorry I purchased.
