Ratings & Reviews for Greenworks Pro 80-volt max 16-in Straight Shaft Battery String Trimmer 2 Ah (Battery Included) (Charger Included)

Great value with lots of power

What a great value on this string trimmer! We already had a snowblower and a leaf blower from Greenworks so we’re familiar with the brand. When our string trimmer died we decided it was time to go rechargeable. We already had 2 - 80 volt Greenworks batteries, so we only needed the trimmer. The trimmer was on sale so we were all in for less than $125 for this mighty machine. It did not come with much line, so luckily our replacement heads for our old trimmer popped right on and worked like a char...

No gas, no hassle

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this to replace several low voltage cheap trimmers and a 40cc gas trimmer. The cost of buying gas and oil and spark plugs and air filters plus the inconsistent performance of the gas trimmer combined with the ease of use of the lower voltage cordless string. Trimmers pushed me to try one of these 80 V electric trimmers. I sold all of my other ones and love this green works trimmer. Since then I have purchased a green works blower an...

Heavy and not very adjustable

Ordered and found this item to be very heavy with the battery. The strap helps but not easy to adjust. If the head of the trimmer was adjustable it would help. By the time I got it to where I could use it, I found I had to tilt it up so high the strap was useless. Make the string head adjustable.

I use this for my landscaping business.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this string trimmer three years ago. I bought my first one in 2014, I worked it hard. It quit on me and I bought this one. I also have a 80volt blower, 21 inch mower and your 18 inch chainsaw. My customers love that I use battery powered tools. I love that I don’t have to carry around gasoline. I love that your tools are so much quieter and have less vibration. I highly recommend them every chance I get. I am just a single older woman...

Trimmer 80 volts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a picture of it smoking really, Really bad. Great Machine if it didn’t catch on fire yet, I do have the video of that catch it on fire so if you need information on that

Spool and line difficulties

Have bought at least 5 Greenworks products including a riding mower. I'm happy with all of them except this trimmer. The line is difficult to load in the spool and jams frequently. The central top continually jams and I have to stop trimming and pull the line out until the central head pops back out. Sorry Greenworks but a video won't help with a product that has a lot of issues like this. It's my mistake for not buying a trimmer that accepts preloaded spools. Lesson learned.

Easy to operate

Easy to put together

Terrible Product

Really disappointed. The spool is impossible to deal with. Line does not extend with a tap. Terrible for edging the sidewalk. Bad purchase.

greenworks pro trimmer

this trimmer is really nice. but its too heavy for alday use

Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just bought the tool and charger as my first battery powered string trimmer. Used it for just a few moments but it seems it will work well for our small front and back yards.

String Does Not Work

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this trimmer two years ago and now avoid it entirely. The sting is impossible to load, never feeds out by itself and breaks off too fast when I feed it out manually. I bought it because I like the mower and wanted to match charging types. I HATE THIS TOOL!!!! Stay away.

Trimmer is great/Registration SUCKS

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You’d think in 2025 for the top of the line tool you could find a QR code to shoot to register. But NOOoooopp!’ You have to get your magnifying glass out to read then type in the thousand digit* serial number and model. *exaggeration

Decent trimmer, poor battery life

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Trimmer is very slow to ramp up (takes 3-4 seconds to get to usable speed), but once there it's nice and powerful and trims well. Main complaint is battery. I have a pair of the 2.5AH batteries, advertised as giving up to 50 minutes use each. I'm lucky if I can get 10 minutes of continuous trimming before they are out of energy and need a 45 minute recharge. I don't know where the 50-minutes comes from; maybe walking around doing little touc...

Excited to try it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased a green Works mower just over two years ago. I’m so pleased with it. I just purchased a green works string trimmer to replace my current gas powered one. I’m very excited to try it. Been very pleased with the quality so far of Green works products.

Lightweight and powerful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far we have been cutting wet weeds with this string trimmer. It is doing a much better job than I expected and my gas weed eater will be kept only as a backup. This has so much power and the run time with even the smaller battery is pretty decent. I'll be investing in some larger ah batteries soon to extend run time. Great product.

Great product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super great trimmer! I love how easy it was to set up and no need for gas and oil. It is also very quiet and does a great job. It feels cheaply made, everything is a heavy plastic except the metal alloy shaft. It comes with a strap to help with the weight, which is nice because the battery is solid 10-15 lbs and acts as a counterweight.
