Works Well But Needs Strap

Works great, but it is much heavier than my old Worx one. The old one couldn't get the thick stuff this one does. Little disappointed they didn't include a strap as it wouldn't cost that much and would save me from having to do another online order.

This does a great job at getting rid of my weeds. I was surprised at how well it does and it’s not even that heavy. The battery charges up pretty quickly too.

I didn't expect the grass to fly everywhere, Even with the shield. Battery life is decent. I hope that they had included a shoulder strap.

Hello AustinN. Thank you for sharing your feedback! We are glad to hear the battery life meets your expectations. We understand that grass clippings can sometimes fly even with the shield in place, for safe use of your trimmer: wear protective gear, clear the area of debris, hold with both hands, keep bystanders away, trim in a sweeping motion, and always remove the battery before adjustments. We appreciate your input regarding a shoulder strap. This model does not include a shoulder strap. However, shoulder straps are available for purchase separately. Please check out the following options available from Greenworks: exoFLEX Deluxe Shoulder Strap SKU: 80023002 SKU: 80023202 SKU: 80023302. We hope this information was helpful! If you have any questions or need assistance with your mower, please contact Greenworks Customer Support via Live Chat or 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS).

After years of using a corded electric string trimmer, I made the leap to the Greenworks cordless string trimmer. This year’s model features a more powerful 80V battery for longer run times, although the rated coverage of .5 to .75 acre is plenty for me.
Setup is easy and really doesn’t even require a glance at the user guide. The straight shaft just needs to be “unfolded” and tightened, attach the handle and head guard, and you’re good to go. The trimmer head is pre-loaded and ready out of the box.
The battery comes with a hefty charger that can provide a full charge in 40 minutes. The side effect of a fast charge is that a lot of heat is generated, so the charger has its own fan. I don’t think I’ve ever had a charger with a fan, so it was a little surprising to hear it spin up. You may want to charge it in another room if you’re trying to watch TV.
Once charged up, I headed out to the yard to try it out. Although it’s December, I waited on my last cut/trim of the year because I knew this trimmer was coming. The power this thing has is amazing! I was blasting through all my trimming needs in no time at all. The angle of the shaft allowed me use it to mow small patches instead of having to get in there with a mower, making short work of that part.
One thing that was immediately apparent was smooth sound and operation of the motor. There are two power settings (high and low), although I’m not sure why I would ever use the low power setting. The variable-speed trigger is a really nice touch, allowing precise control in every situation. The “tap to feed” feature works amazingly well—just a tap of the head on the ground advances the string so you barely need to pause to extend the string.
Construction of the trimmer is solid, with metal motor housing, shaft and clamp. It is very sturdy and feels like it’s built for heavy duty work. I didn’t use it enough to need to reload the spool, but the claim is that it’s easy and quick, so we’ll see.
I like that the battery is also able to be used in other Greenworks tools, so that’ll make it easier for me to expand by tool set.
Hopefully this trimmer will provide years of service. If so, I can’t see ever going back to gas-powered tools. Now that I no longer need to get out the spools of extension cord for my previous trimmer, I’m much more likely to just grab this one and get it done.
If you’re considering a battery-powered trimmer, you can’t go wrong with this one. I’m very happy I got it!

Workhorse
|

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This Greenworks trimmer is an absolute workhorse. The included 80V battery provides ample power to handle pretty much any edging or weedeating you will come across. The battery provides enough juice for me to cover my acre of land that includes 60 trees and 100 pavers that I have to edge without having to stop to recharge. The trimmer has a switch on the handle to change between regular edging power or a boost/extra power mode for thicker brush. This will reduce the amount of runtime, but it should still give you enough to finish the job. You can also easily adjust the cutting length from 17 inches to about 13 inches if you need extra runtime more than coverage. The trimmer is well-constructed. I do not think you are sacrificing quality with this compared to a heavy-duty gas trimmer. I love how easy it is to start compared to my gas trimmer, and the noise output of this compared to my gas trimmer is so much less. I feel like it's well-balanced weight-wise. The battery is heavy, but the trimmer is easy to hold and operate. There is a connection for a shoulder strap if you want, but I haven't had the need for it. I highly recommend this trimmer.

The Brushless Trimmer arrived and it was simple installing the attachments. The directions had step-by-step instructions that were accurate. The trimmer felt good in the hands. It feels sturdy like it will last for my needs. Overall, it's not too heavy and not too light. The battery came about 80% charged. You get about a 50-minute run time. It takes about one hour to fully charge the trimmer.
The first cut felt great. Everything worked as needed. Once you attach the battery you have a safety lever and a throttle push. So there is no ON/OFF. There simply is don't engage the safety level and throttle. You get a High and low mode. The trimmer was in the middle of the road for noise. I didn't need earplugs. But you will want to cover your face because this trimmer shreds. It made quick work of my backyard.
With the 50 minute run time, you can easily trim your house. You can even get a couple in there depending on the size. This is great because it fits the needs of a lawn trimmer. This will fit that need of keeping the yard "edged up!" As it did for me.

Efficient & Effective

The Greenworks 80V Brushless String Trimmer is a powerhouse, and does everything any gas trimmer I have ever had and more. I am absolutely shocked by the long battery life this trimmer has. I spent a solid 30 minutes clearing out old knee high grass and still had a little battery life to spare. Also this model is lighter than others I have tried, many times I have noticed that the battery pack is so heavy it makes the entire unit hard to use. This Greenworks 80V model is much more balanced and I found it very easy to use, even over longer sessions. The entire unit has great build quality and I have no doubts this will last for many years. The battery comes with a charger and it charged surprisingly fast for as long as the battery lasts. One of my other favorite things about this trimmer is how easy it is to replace the string, the load n go system they use makes reloading the string a breeze, which can be the most frustrating part about owning a trimmer. I am glad they have solved this issue!
