Ergonomics leave me wanting for a 5′ 7″ person, but it works well and lasts fairly long. Definitely would need multiple batteries if doing a large yard or thick weeds/brush.

This is as good as my gas powered trimmer, but much easier to use since I don’t have to fill in fuel, start it up, etc. I don’t have the shoulder strap, but my yard is not that big. Highly recommend if you are on the m18 platform and you do need the HO batteries.

Battery life is great. I can tackle my .5 acre lot with ease. The auto feed string system works flawlessly.

Powerful tool. I have a quarter acre lot with a lot of surfaces to edge, still had 3/4 battery life after finishing. Guess I need to get the blower next

This thing is great. Lightweight, balanced just right, easy to use. The weed eater attachment is equipped with bump feed. The tool is very powerful.

Completely exceeded my expectations for an electric weed eater. It’s battery life is great and it’s really powerful.

1st I’m a pro lawn guy. I use echo weedeaters and although they are tough they are finiky- carburators, fuel and air filters, oil to gas ratios jeez Louise I have more important things to do. This Milwaukee trimmer has really simplified my operation. Battery life is decent but I always have another on the charger in my truck. It’s powerful and make short work of edging and weed whacking. I really like that the drive motor is not on the head of the trimmer and that once I pull the trigger there is no lag in operation. They are a bit pricey but I plan on introducing another one into my business this coming season. You guys and gals who do your own lawn- buy it,to the pros out there you can’t go wrong- buy an additional battery.

Better than expected
Bart Rath (verified owner) –
Instant torque means tons of power. It chewed through tall grass/weeds with no issue. The battery lasted me 30 minutes.
Iva Nolan (verified owner) –
Works great, quick change of heads and do all of my yard work with one tool.
Jeremie Yost (verified owner) –
Exceeded my expectations by 100%. Easy to use battery last and no gas or mixing. Cleans up easy and stores right after use no waiting for cooling. Enjoined cutting my grass for a change. But purchase the sling it does helps out.
Ryann Harber (verified owner) –
Battery lasts at least an hour with heavy use of string trimmer. Pole saw attachment also works great. Another great product from big red.
Olga Kerluke (verified owner) –
Easy to assemble and use. The whole unit seems to be heavier than it appears to be, but it’s not unbearable. I used it for trimming around the yard, and was completely satisfied, Real test will be on the California Sensimilla/Kentucky Bluegrass hybrid.

Wanted to try an electric model instead of our usual gas one. So far I like the ease of starting it, but have an extra battery so that we can continue using it longer than 1 hr. ( for each battery,). I haven’t tried putting the string in so that is another question. It is very easy to use and does a great job. So we will see…..
