Have had this trimmer for 2 years. Yard is small and not used excessively. Charger adapter literally fell apart, wires exposed and no longer charges. Shield around base always fell off. This product is junk!

This product is great value for the cost.
I am impressed with all attributes of this product charging to period of use per charge (small jobs). My only concern has been that the string protector fails to stay clipped on to the working head when bumped against walls or other stationary objects. This issue has been resolved by the use of a multi-purpose tie to hold it in place.

Cheaply constructed
The Trimmer is fine for the price paid and does the job. But the guard does not stay attached. Very annoying and should be built better. I'm going to try taping it on!

Better than my old one
This is my second trimmer from Toro, very similar model. The other one died but it was fine for 10 years. The new one works as expected and some features are improved, as a homeowner this is all I really need (read no gas)

easy to use
Light weight, not overly long making it easier for a woman to use.

So far, so good.
I am pleased with the trimmer after two weeks of use. The only complaint is that the bump line release is not always reliable. Plenty of power and run time, though.

It lasted only 2 seasons
We bought this trimmer for our tiny yard in the summer of 2016. It did a great job the first two seasons and even held a charge between mowings. But this year, it won't hold a charge at all. It seems to get power and charge, but can't deliver enough juice to cut a single blade of grass. Looking at the Toro site, it appears that a replacement battery will cost almost as much as the unit. What frustrates me the most is that we have to throw it away, contributing to the environmental crisis.

Battery doesn't recharge
WE had a Toro cordless trimmer for 7 years. When we bought the new on we were disappointed with the cord connection to the battery. You have a "play" with it to get the red light to come on. After less than a year the battery no longer charges. We've tried different cords to see if that was the problem. Will never buy another Toro.
