Works as advertised. No complaints.

The battery doesn’t last as long as I wanted it to. Only about 20 minutes . I don’t know if I got a bad battery or what but it definitely doesn’t run for an hour

Purchased as a gift for my son-in-law, he was extremely pleased with it. He was excited that other tools could be used interchangeably with the unit. Delivery was on time and it was packaged nicely. Pleased with ordering, delivery and the unit itself.

It performs exactly as you expect of all your Milwaukee tools. Flawless

Seems to have plenty of power

The kit says it comes with a rapid charger, I got a standard charger. I like the string trimmer but the rapid charger is misleading. Will HD swap chargers? Considering returning, the standard charger takes a long time charging an 8 amp battery.

a lot of power – cut through my overgrown yard with ease.

It’s quite, lite weight as compared to my gas one. The only concern I have is the feeder for the string,it keeps getting to tight to come out when I bump the feeder, I will need to call Milwaukee out that.
Myron Veum (verified owner) –
Better than expected

I have had this for three weeks and used it twice mostly to trim Asiatic Jasmine ground cover, a tough vegetation. The trimmer handles this duty with ease as it quite powerful but quiet at the same time. It is easy to use, balanced well (not light, though) especially good with the optional shoulder strap. The battery did not need a charge after both uses (approx 30 minutes each) but I charged it anyway in about 30 or 40 minutes. Another plus is a convenient mounting hole on the back to receive a mounting screw. I will likely purchase the attaching hedge trimmer later. I recommend the M18 trimmer.

Disregard my previous review about receiving a standard charger instead of a rapid charger with the string trimmer kit. There was a mix up, I did receive the rapid charger. My apologies for any trouble I may have caused.

Lots of power, very quiet. Balanced nicely.
Lysanne Mueller (verified owner) –
Quick to top speed, works great
Melvina Spinka (verified owner) –
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.
Ida Murray (verified owner) –
Strong and lasts longer than typical trimmer string.
Reinhold Kilback (verified owner) –
What great power and control
Mariane Herman (verified owner) –
light weight easy to start don’t have to worry about gas fumes.
Leopold Stroman (verified owner) –
I’m impressed with power but I’m having trouble with the string feeder. The string sticks and I have to manually help it, otherwise I highly recommend.
Dolores Leuschke (verified owner) –
The trimmer was easy to assemble and it works great!
Alayna Carter (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.
