Would RecommendI had just purcahsed an Echo SRM-2620 when I saw this on sale. I returned the Echo, I didn't really want another petrol powered device to maintain. At $29, it was worth a try. I have a DR walk behind trimmer, it is great for large areas but it can struggle cutting tall clover. This trimmer rips right through. I use Husqvarna Titanium Force 2.4mm line and I can cut anything that needs trimming. I use this mostly to trim the hotwire line to keep the veg out. It can reach under the fence nicely so ...
Great Value for the Price
Would RecommendGot this for less than 1/2 the normal price. Great deal. It also is able to accept universal accessories which is great too.

Powerful. Functional. Solid. Ease of use.
Would RecommendQuick assembly. Lots of power like a gas trimmer but without leaving you smelling like gas & oil, the noise, or constantly trying to start it. Blipping the trigger is all I did and it cut tall grass & weed like a grass trimmer. I cut about 15ft x 50ft of tall weeds, around boulders, along fence. and the spool it comes with did a great job and there's still plenty left. The trimmer has a harness attachment (harness sold seperately) that you may want to consider if you haven't used a trimmer in a...
Powerful
Would RecommendThis was my first time using an electric string trimmer to do some weed removal in my yard. Was quite impressed with the power. It’s a little heavy but otherwise I highly recommend it. Wear your goggles and cover up!
Top and bottom section do not fit
Would Not RecommendNot sure what kind of quality control is in place for this trimmer. The bottom section of the trimmer was completely deformed, to the point the edge had an oval shape instead of a circle. It didn't penetrate inside the top section. To add insult to the injury I waited for 22 days for this trimmer to arrive, and it's no longer in stock so I can't even ask for a replacement.
Love the way it cuts, but not how it lasts
Would Not RecommendI was impressed by the cutting power, even on blackberry vines, and the balance, quietness, and that the bump line feed worked well. However, the bump button has worn out and after searching for hours I have not been able to find a replacement for it. It is only 2 years old. I recognize that it is a wear part, but not providing any easy way to replace it is maddening.

This is by far the best corded string trimmer ever. I have owned many different brands over the years and known of them were close to the quality this one is. You get so much...low purchase price, great balance, high quality manufacturing and best of all the ability to restring the spool without removing the spool. Takes a whopping 5 minutes to restring. Powerful enough to knock down the tall stuff and easy to use as an edger.
Great product
Would Not RecommendIt has alot of power, I was not expecting that. I love it
