What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this trimmer for its powerful performance, quiet operation, and lightweight design, with most noting it matches or exceeds gas-powered models while eliminating fumes and maintenance. Many appreciate the long battery life, intuitive controls including variable throttle and dual-speed settings, and shoulder strap comfort. The 80V battery ecosystem drives strong loyalty, as customers value interoperability with other tools. A small number report string feed or spool issues, but these concerns are far outweighed by widespread satisfaction and recommendations.

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

Not a reliable product
The bump feeder breaks easily and the replacement head has been sold out for months. Hard to recommend this product given the performance challenges and lack of support for the product.

IMPOSSIBLE TO INSTALL STRING
Would Not RecommendThe trimmer works great but this morning, I spent 45 minutes trying to get a new length of string into the trimmer. The manual is absolutely wrong and difficult to follow. The parts outlined in the manual don't seem to match the model of the trimmer. I have the Greenworks lawn mower, and it is great. This - with the struggle of the string - not so much. I felt like I had to turn 45 degrees south, hope that Jupiter was in transit with Orion and wait for a 5 knot wind for this thing to get ...

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.

Such a nuisance!!
Would Not RecommendBought this at the beginning of summer. The bump feature doesn’t really work, the weight is very awkward, and I can’t get replacement string that fits (even from Greenworks website). I am so very frustrated with this next to useless tool! Even though I spent too much on this item, I’m tossing it and finding something that works.
