Good basic trimmer for small areas

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a very small area around a fenceline and walkway and this trimmer works great. My only complaints is the line doesnt always advance correctly and the bottom half tends to loosen up while using.

Cordless lawn trimmer

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great trimmer for small yard, no hassle with battery. Wish charge would hold for more than 20 minutes, but still adequate for minor trimming after mowing.

Charging time

Would Not Recommend

Seems this trimmer takes at least an hour to charge and can be used for less than 5 minutes before needing recharged. Too expensive for something that doesn’t charge well. I would NOT recommend purchasing this item!

Great Features but Doesn't Hold a Charge

Would Not Recommend

The weight, the ease of advancing the trimming string, etc... are all great BUT this unit doesn't hold a charge for more than 20 minutes or so (on simple, noth thick grass trimming). Very Disappointing as I've seen it advertised as holding a charge for as much as 45 minutes -- NO WAY!

My go to weed trimmer

All around great trimmer

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so happy with my first cordless trimmer and Toro was my first choice search online because, I'm happy with my great, new bagged Toro lawnmower! Everything works nice. I need 25 minutes for trimming and there is power left. Was easy to put together and just right for me at 5'4". It is tough and well made, sized perfect and I have no aches during or after use of three times! I highly recommend!
