Greenworks PRO 16-Inch 80V Cordless String Trimmer (Attachment Capable), Battery Not Included GST80320

Great trimmer and powerful for the job. Be sure to have extra batteries if you have a fairly big yard. Otherwise, I prefer it to gaspowered trimmers.

I absolutely love this string trimmer. I have very high standards for lawn equipment, and typically only buy Stihl products. I really wanted to try a battery powered string trimmer and after searching reviews and reading specs, decided to order this one. I found it to ve extraordinarily powerful, more than sufficient for edging even my thick, professionally managed St. Augustine. The run time from my 2ah battery is more than sufficient for flat trimming and edging my 5,000 sq-ft lawn. After trimming I still had 2/3 battery life. The product is heavier than you might expect; it's on par with commercial gas equipment but might be too heavy for some homeowners. It does take a moment to get to full power after pressing the trigger, definitely lacking the instant torque that I'd expect from an electric motor. Still it's no more than a second or two and definitely not a hindrance. Once it does "spin up" it is absolutely monstrously powerful. I'm not a fan of the head, I'd definitely suggest ditching the stock unit for a Speed Feed unit, like the one marketed by Echo. Pros: It was easy to assemble. Battery securely locks into place. Great power. Good run time. Seems very well built with little to no wobble in the shaft connection. Cons: It's a tad heavy. Motor takes a second to spin the head to full speed. Conventional head, not a Speed Feed model. I'd definitely recommend this product to everyone except very small people.

This cutter is quite powerful, it performed better than I expected, at the second speed, when cutting lawn. There are only two things that I found an issue with, 1) It was a bit heavier than I though, so the shoulder belt was necessary to move it around effortlessly. 2) In trying to get the string out, it took some skill, not trying to bend the shaft, that is too separate parts put together. However the GreenWorks GST80320 80V 16-Inch String, not only is very powerful at top speed setting, at the lowest speed it gives the best cutting experience, I have had, using a cutter. ( I also have a heavy duty Industrial gas Husvana cutter and my brother also have a very light weight, gas cutter, for the lawn. From my experience the GreenWorks cutter gives a smother cutting performance, the grass is evenly cut, and you just have to pass the cutter once, the other cutters, both the heavy duty gas cutters that I have used, takes off too much grass at times. By the way I cut the entire yard with the GreenWorks GST80320 80V 16-Inch String cutter, and i actually enjoyed it. I can hardly wait for the grass to grow back. This is a good product, just make it with a better connecting shaft, and lighter and I think you might have a perfect device. I almost forgot to mention that the string could be a little thicker, but I am just being picky, and by the way the battery lit up, two indications of being two thirds full , so i gave this device four stars.

So useful and convenient. Got it since I don't have unlimited extension cords for a corded one to reach the whole yard and it is a game changer. Excellent battery life, pretty quiet, works great. Order the loose line refills because it's incredibly easy to reload the string. Great product.

This is a fantastic trimmer and I'm beyond happy with it. Granted Troy-Bilt may have lowered my expectations so much anything would have been better, but this trimmer has far exceeded my expectations... Little background - I had a 4-Cycle Troy-Bilt trimmer for MANY years while living on 8+ acres. It was awesome. No mixing fuel, powerful, smooth speed changes, and attachments. I have the trimmer, edger, blower, leaf vacuum, and tiller. With this much land to handle - it got a workout. Eventually the fuel lines cracked/rotted and had to be replaced. Easy to do and it still worked great. Eventually I moved to a neighborhood on a MUCH smaller lot, but took the old faithful with me. Sadly it finally gave up the ghost a couple years later, but certainly owed me nothing (I think I had it for close to 15 years). So I drove right out to Lowes to pickup another. I knew TB had been purchased by MTD I think and there was a good chance the new stuff wasn't great. But I had much less land to care for and really liked the 4 cycle convenience. Got the new trimmer home and HATED it. It ran terrible, there was NO smooth speed up and it would bog down constantly if it wasn't running at full speed and full speed didn't really FEEL like full speed. It could barely drive the leaf blower. It was so bad I thought something was wrong with it because it ran NOTHING like my old one. I took it back to Lowes and exchanged it - the replacement wasn't better. I should have taken that one back but toughed it out. I learned to adjust with how badly the engine ran and when trimming near our fence - ran it at full speed, covering my legs in lots of green bits. But all my attachments worked and once it warmed up it kinda ran OK. It never started easy. < 2 years after purchase, the pull rope gears broke. SO done. Being 2018 I was hoping there was a decent battery powered alternative. After a bunch of research I found this 80V line of tools and decided to give it a try. I only needed the trimmer currently, but the idea of an electric mower appealed to me as well (though the cheap MTD mower I bought when we moved runs like a dream and has never given us trouble - go figure, thanks Briggs & Stratton). But I wanted a trimmer that would work with my attachments which all were in great shape. Could a battery powered unit work with my edger? I had just replaced the blade in my edger, so when the Greenworks trimmer arrived, that was the first task. A new square edged blade is going to be even harder to drive until it wears down to a rounded edge. This thing drove it like a boss! My trimmer had been dead probably 3 weeks so my 'edges' were pretty much gone. So this was an even harder chore than normal and this trimmer mowed through it. Then I put on the included trimmer attachment and trimmed: it made fast work of the, now, heavy grass on the fence edges, all at LOW speed. This trimmer was so solid at low speed, I was able to trim my entire yard and my legs were pretty much clean - not covered in tons of shredded vegetation. Even better - I bump fed trim line MUCH less than I did with the gas trimmer (which I always had to run at higher speed to maintain cutting) With a lot of cement edging - this is huge for me. The trimmer is well balanced, not too heavy, and the 2Ah battery lasted through the entire job (and given how hard I had to edge - wouldn't have surprised me if it hadn't) So a couple things to note: 1) This trimmer does take a couple seconds to ramp up to full speed. I suspect this is a design choice, not a flaw. Electric motors can produce a LOT of torque and if the motor hit full RPM when you jammed the trigger - it would possibly over stress internal components or attachments designed for the more laggy ramp up of gasoline trimmers. It's not a huge deal because... this trimmer holds low speed and instantly reacts to changes in trigger position so once it's going, it stays going and you can easily ramp up/down. You quickly get used to it (and it's so easy to maintain cutting speed - you rarely have to ramp up anyway) 2) The trimmer also will 'stop' if you overload it to protect itself and the attachments. When I was edging in well overgrown edges with a new blade and pushed too deep (pretty much ALL the way into the ground), it would stop. Pull it up and restart - worked fine. I quickly adjusted the angle and pressure to edge a little slower without overloading it. This again is likely meant to protect the motor, gears, and battery from a stalled motor (which causes huge current spikes in a motor). It was a MINOR adjustment - this thing is that powerful. When I edged again normally a week later - didn't even have to worry about it because the edger flew through it. 3) Attachments - I can't speak to other brands, but all my Troy-Bilt attachments fit. It ran the leaf blower at a MUCH higher (and normal) RPM than the gas trimmer did - the gas trimmer always seemed to struggle with the blower. They fit perfectly and there was a ton of grease inside the shaft to lube things up during initial use. You may have to wipe a bit back into the shaft after a couple uses. So I'm thrilled with this! Given how batteries are about half the cost of these electric yard tools, I already have a 2Ah battery - so looking forward to getting a mower with a 4Ah battery and being done with yardwork gas for good! Highly recommended!

This thing is really beefy and strong. Tons of torque. The line supplied barely breaks. Battery time is great too. It IS attachment capable. Wire loading is easy. But there is a newer model, this is gen2. I was slightly irritated when I found out that I bought the older one but it works great. Makes me wonder how much better the gen3 is.

Sin ruido y muy potente

Excellent. Easy to use

I was a little hesitant to buy this because the reviews said it was too heavy. It's not -- it has a good strap and balances nicely to easy to control. Also easy to rewind new string. We have almost all of the 80V products from Greenworks, and have been pleased.

This whipper snipper is not for unskilled or weak individuals, it can weigh in at 20lbs with the battery. Greenworks designed this to be a Beast it will knock down a small forest in mins and is super fast and quiet. I bought this because of the large yard i have and the quietness and no cords or loud gasser's to mess with. I run large Ah battery and it will run this for approx 90 mins and by then your wore out. If you buy this get at least a 4Ah battery and you will be good to go, you can also use 0.90 heavier line but the stock 0.85 line it comes with is plenty in my book. You can also get reload spools for it at reasonable pricing. The shoulder strap is a plus on this as well, and it is attachment capable this model so various other attachments you can use if need be.
