Only used twice, couldn’t finish trimming without recharging battery. Did a good job, I like the weight and balance of the trimmer. Had another 40 volt that lasted 6 years, different brand, if this one last that long I’ll be satisfied.

Battery adds a lot of weight to the upper part.
Would Not RecommendIt’s to top heavy. Hard to handle. This one is heavy even for a man. I would not have purchased it if I had known of the struggle I would have with it.
