Meet the next-generation in grass-grooming tech in the legendary line-up of iON yard and garden tools: iON100V-16ST-CT 100-Volt Cordless Grass Trimmer from Sun Joe. Ideal anywhere power is at a premium, iON100V is powered by the latest revolution in the iON series featuring high-capacity 100-Volt lithium-ion batteries (sold separately) for no-fade, eco-friendly power plus performance and zero carbon emissions for cleaner air. With a 16 in. W cutting swath and powerful 2.5 Amp motor, iON100V starts instantly at the touch of a switch to make quick work of overgrown grass and weeds. And iONs variable-speed control includes a TURBO setting for a quick burst of speed up to 6000 RPM when a little added power is needed to slice through thatches of unwanted vegetation. Plus, when the lines a little short, just a tap is all it takes of the bump feed spool to add a bit more string to keep you in the thick of things. And when you finally reach the end of the line, iON100Vs innovative rapid-reload system makes for fast and easy trimmer line replacement, as simple as a twist of the wrist. A flower guard helps prevent accidental trimmer contact with delicate plants and foliage. Or flip it up and switch it up to quickly convert from string trimmer to precision edger so iON can cut a crisp path to edge along flowerbeds and walkways. At the end of the day, when the grass has been groomed and the work is done, iON folds down for compact storage.

As the season has come to an end here in Colorado I am reviewing my iONPRO products. This string trimmer worked very well for me. I liked the variable speed capability. Once again I recommend a 2.5 Ahr battery for weight and balance considerations. I live on .25 Acres, fenced and I’ve never run out of battery to finish a job. I personally am not fond of the line supplied with the trimmer. High speed works best for tapping out new line. Replacing line is more difficult than shown in the directions but it can be accomplished. Generally I am pleased with the product and would recommend it as a very good home use product for small, medium or even larger lots.

There is room for improvement, for example, a variable speed trigger would improve the usability and quicker spin-up of the spindle.The biggest negative is the safety interlock release, it’s not ergonomic and requires an uncomfortable hand position each time the trigger is released, it acts more like a childproof lock instead of the safety mechanism to prevent accidental starts. it is one feature Ill bypass soon. Integrating this function into the trigger or in the grip would work much better.Overall it works well and performed all the edging my gas version does.This unit has the biggest battery I have seen in a consumer trimmer, 500WattI would recommend this to anyone looking for an electric consumer-grade string trimmer.
