What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this trimmer for exceptional power that matches or surpasses gas models, handling thick grass and tall weeds with ease. Battery life impresses most, lasting through half-acre properties on a single charge, eliminating cord hassles. The lightweight, well-balanced design with low-vibration operation reduces physical strain significantly. Many report switching from gas equipment and never looking back. A few mention string loading can be challenging, and isolated defects occasionally occur, but overall customers consider this a worthwhile, reliable upgrade.

Worth it
Would RecommendThis trimmer is so powerful. I’m still learning how to handle it for edging and so far I have to relearn how to reload string. I’m pleased that it acceptor .095 line

Terrible string replacement, trashing this tool
I bought the Gen2 version of this. It worked great--until it was time to replace the string. It's almost impossible to get the cap/housing off, despite the cheery instructions to press the two side buttons. Youtube is full of people expressing frustration and recommending oil, finding hidden bolts (mine doesn't have one) and so on. I'm giving up and getting a new one, which is super aggravating. I have several Greenworks tools that are great, but my new trimmer won't be from Greenworks.

Poor replacement part availability
Great machine while the parts last! Trimmer spool head wears out incredibly fast and then you can't buy another one!!

80V package not very impressive
Would Not RecommendPurchased: March 12, 2026 - 80v mower, trimmer, blower combo Notes: First purchase of battery powered mower. Yard is small (6,000 sqft). St. Augustine grass. Pros: Sturdy construction, made in USA, blower is awesome Cons: Battery runs out after 30 minutes. Purchased 80v for longer run time. Trimmer is heavy and cumbersome. I'm still using my old Ryobi trimmer because it is so light and easy to use. Was going to buy a Greenworks edger attachment and extra 80v battery, but Ryobi edger with battery...

Great Power
I've had this trimmer for a few months now, and i'm very impressed by how much power it has as well as great runtime. It has lasted well over an hour a few times now with power to spare. Charge time is about an hour, sometimes less. Cutting is very strong, and i've never had to use the higher output setting on it. I do recommend getting the shoulder strap like I did. The unit is a bit heavy. I would compare the electric to a gas powered trimmer as far as weight goes. Pretty similar. Definitely a...
