Ratings & Reviews for Toro Flex-Force 60-volt max 15-in Straight Shaft Battery String Trimmer

not bad so far

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] very nice ez to use so far had it a few months good price

Sufficient power

It seems a little heavy but I have no experience with weed eaters. It cuts down weeds rapidly and has plenty of battery power to do a usual job

Awesome Trimmer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing the power it has! It’s super easy to use, just pull the trigger and go.

This is the most like a gas trimmer with its variable speed trigger and power. One charge actually lasts about an hour since I don't need full speed very often.

Most like gas trimmer

This trimmer is the most like a gas trimmer. Like the variable speed trigger and plenty of power to cut the tough weeds. ( I was a landscaper for 15 years so have lots of experience with trimmers.) And, wait for it, I can do 3 lawns on one charge! Didn't need to buy a spare battery!

I’m glad I bought it

It’s heavy duty and works great

Cheaply made

Ease of control of line

Battery needs improvements

You’ll go through a ton of string quick and the battery doesn’t last very long. My total yard space is about 5,000 sq ft and I had to recharge 3 times to get the job done. Also had to run back to Lowe’s to get replacement string as the one it came with only got me about 2/3 of the way.

Reliable, not the output of gas powered trimmers

Light and easy to use. But lacks significant power and line coverage compare to conventional gas powered. But it always starts.

great

Powerful, heavy, long-lasting battery

I was impressed with the power and the endurance of the 60 volt system, but a some issues brought my rating down. First, it is pretty big and heavy compared to the previous 12V trimmer I used. Obviously, some of this is due to the power, but the main tube could have been made a bit shorter, in my opinion. The second issue is more annoying, in that the line feed (where you tap the center of the trimmer spool holder on something hard, and it feeds out a portion of line) is very sticky, and more of...
