works good, Have problems with shaft length and shield

Both my Wife i use the Toro trimmer. The battery life is adequate for the yard trim. My wife feels it works fine. My gripe is the shaft is to short for a taller person. Also we owned the product less than one year and have replaced the shield three times. This part appears very flimsy and easy to break. Feel it would be a better product if we did not have to replace the shield there times in less than one garden season.

Good product overall

Easy to use, easy to charge, easy to advance trimmer line, lightweight, only drawback is the charge could be a little longer. If u have alot of trimming to do each time u mow ur lawn, this is not the trimmer for u. I have a smaller yard and house and it works great for that, but u might want to try it out for yourself and c.

Size is perfect

It is ready to work when I am. I can pretty much finish my trimming on one charge. As a senior citizen I love it for what I need to accomplish.

Nice trimmer. Good price

Purchased recently to replace one over 10 years old. Light weight, charges quickly and does the job well. Can't speak to durability since it's new.

The cordless trimmer has plenty of power to trim even very tall weeds and does an excellent job on grass.

I like the light weight and portability of the cordless trimmer. It has plenty of power for tall grass and weeds and trims with ease. I live on a farm and have a large yard and it keeps its charge for a long, long time. It is small and portable, so I can put it in the SUV and take it to town to trim at the cemetery around my husband's grave.

YEP this product is not worth the trouble.

Unfortunately I did not read the reviews before I wasted my money on this item. I bought it on sale otherwise I would be more mad than I am. As per the reviews, the plastic shield that snaps on the back will not stay on. Before I even used it it came off 3 times. Also per previous reviews I had not even used the trimmer for 5 min and the string or trimmer cord is gone. Don't know if I used it up or it just snuck back inside the trimmer. I can't get the head off now to find out. BEWARE PEOPLE, th...

product defective

Finally decided to replace my old weed eater. The line feed wasn't working and could not get replacement spools any longer. Guess I made a poor decision. The "new" Toro worked about 10 seconds and the line disappeared. Had difficulty getting the top off the spool. Returned to place of purchase where customer service rendered assistance and replaced spool. As soon as I began using it the line disappeared again and would not refeed. This time I was able to remove the spool and extend the line manu...
