Had a Ryobi 4 Cycle gas trimmer before this and the 40 volt electric beats it hands down feels lighter and stronger. I have all the attachments and they work as good or better.

The saw worked just fine.

I’ve only used it once due to the time of the year I bought it, but I already love it. I don’t have to buy gasoline and oil, then mix them, then go through the starting rituals involved in getting an old gas powered trimmer running. This trimmer is quieter, just as powerful, and all around better than my previous gas model (which was a top, commercially-used brand). I easily completed all trimming and edging around my yard on one battery charge. It was still running strong when I finished. I’m loving this move to electric so far!

Excellent Trimmer with Some Annoying Quirks.I bought the trimmer to replace an aging 2-cycle gas trimmer. To my moderate surprise it’s better than I expected. Despite a heavy 40 V battery, the trimmer is well balanced and easy to use. The power head is well made (unlike my gas trimmer; I was continually unwrapping grass that fouled the shaft). It cuts well. Get the heavy duty line, you’ll be glad you did. I spent the extra money to buy the brushless motor and I’m glad I did. It’s remarkably quiet for the amount of torque provided. So far on my 1 acre lot I haven’t found any type of grass that it won’t cut with ease. This is also better than my gas trimmer, which bogged down trying to cut anything other than St. Augustine and some broadleaf weeds. Battery life is above average. I cut 250 feet of overgrown drainage ditch and used ¾ of a battery. Pretty good, I think. Expect 1-2 hours to recharge.Now, the quirks. First, the trigger is hard to keep in the full power position. My ‘trigger finger’ ached for an hour after using the trimmer for the first time and the best position for comfort was about ¾ speed, which turned out to not be a problem, because I could set to the trimmer to high speed and it worked fine. For what I paid, I expected a better design, especially since there is no locking mechanism on the trigger–you have to hold it on all the time. Second, the plastic blades attachment that is supposed to be a kind of brush cutter isn’t all that good. It doesn’t do well against anything that’s more than ¼ in diameter. If what you are cutting is woody, don’t bother. Get the brush cutter attachment. It works very well.Overall, I am very pleased with the trimmer. I cuts better than anything I had before and doesn’t smoke or smell or refuse to start. I’d buy it again. Now, if they’d only fix the trigger.

Love this trimmer. Tough enough to handle light brush along the lake and trimming around the yard. Battery lasts as long as I do – about 50 to 90 minutes – on a non-stop trimming chore.

I was impressed with the amount of power that this has for a battery powered tool. I have a medium sized yard with several trees and other landscaping to string trim around and this has enough charge to complete the task. I also like the pole saw attachment I purchased to go with this. Would recommend for home use, not sure how well it would work for commercial use. Would have to have several batteries for sure.

It seemed to be a good product, however the info on line said the pole saw could be used with Stihl Kombi. I couldn’t get it to work.

Easy to assemble and easy to use.

This definitely let me trim some of the higher limbs before cutting the rest of the trees down
Libby Heaney (verified owner) –
This just replaced my older 40v ryobi trimmer/edger that burnt out trying to clear loads of waist high crabgrass. This new brushless model handled it like a champ on a single charge. the dual line really helps as well. My only issue is that the guard doesn’t quite protect from debris as much as the older design so Eyewear

Under powered. Not sturdy enough for continuous commercial operation.
Karolann Aufderhar (verified owner) –
It has strength but because of the battery it is for small spaces you need 2 batteries

Pole pruner is well worth the money, easy for me to use. I will be getting another extension for higher limbs. Worked great on my Toro power head.
