Greenworks40V 15-Inch Torqdrive String Trimmer, Battery and Charger Not Included

Has several features of more expensive models. The Handle is the same as Pro models. The Trimmer Knife allows you to move it and make it a 13" Trimmer. Weighs 9.6 lbs. with 6 ah Battery. New design is nice and Guard is very good. I will highly recommend this one, it's a keeper. However, there is no "2 speed selector switch to choose between more power or longer runtime" as stated in Ad. It is variable speed allowing you 4 or 5 different speeds on the Trigger. Also, no off and on switch just safety lever and variable speed lever. It has all you need and is comfortable to use.Due to the design of this machine, I am able to hold in one hand and do a decent one-armed trim. This act is better with a lighter 2 ah Battery.

The media could not be loaded.  Let's start with the items I think stand out:1. One of the key features for me is storage. I'm a recreational cyclist so my garage is full of bikes leaving little room for lawn equipment. The Greenworks equipment stores vertically against the wall in a area of the garage not normally occupied leaving the area where I keep my road bikes free while not interfering with vehicle parking. This also may be appealing to those that like me have a standard garage but full size trucks, SUV to fit inside.2. As this equipment has no gasoline in it, you are able to transport it inside your vehicle without the danger of exposure to explosive and toxic fumes. This combined with the mowers already compact size mean you have many options for transportation.3. Of all 3 items only the trimmer requires servicing to replace the trimmer string and in this way it is exactly the same as gas powered unit and the trimmer string is a generic standard string I purchased at Wal*Mart.4. I use the second battery for the mower to power the trimmer. I could and sometimes do use the lower amp/hour battery that came with the combo and do when the yard is particularly thick or tall.5. The trimmer operates like a traditional gas unit and dispenses additional string each time the trimmer is activated by the user.6. All 3 devices have safe start buttons to insure deliberate activation and reduce the possibility of accidental activation of the device.7. Speaking of reduced, another key plus in my book is the substantially quieter operation. The mower is not much louder than a household vacuum cleaner. Allowing me to mow much earlier in the day while it's cooler without disturbing my neighbors.8. The mower make a reasonably effective cut but does require 2 passes to accomplish this. I think this may be a limitation of the blade speed. The mower does increase RMP when it hits a certain resistance threshold. The higher speed will help you get through a more dense patch of lawn and will maintain that speed until the resistance drops below the threshold.9. I bag my clippings but attachments were included with the mower that would allow for either ejecting the clippings out of the side or mulching.My front yard is a mixture of fescue, and buffalo grass and grows quite densely and the mower does have to work to cut this area. The sides and back are mostly buffalo and are fertilized but not watered10. The combination of all areas including the ally is 2,600 sf. and used to require approximately a 1 gallon of gasoline a month to maintain with a gas powered edger and mower, and fuel oil mixture for the string trimmer and blower and the inconvenience annually of servicing the motor oil and spark plugs. Comparatively it cost pennies a month to charge the batteries with a substantially reduced mechanical footprint and no physical exposure to fuel or oil. Additionally fumes escaping from gas equipment and containers no longer contaminate the living environment of the house through the garage.11. Now lets consider durability. I have been using this group of Greenworks equipment for over 1 year now with the same batteries that came originally with the equipment. I have experienced no failures or defects. After 2 mowing seasons the battery life has met my expectations of reliability. This was the most important aspect to me because if the batteries died prematurely it would completely negate any operational cost savings.12. Aesthetically the mower has been style to have to outward appearance of a traditional gas mower and while this may not be of particular importance to me personally, some may feel that it is a selling point.13. Now let's talk initial cost. In 2006 I bought a full set of Yardman gas equipment totaling $1,300 and it would cost even more to buy that equipment today. The Greenworks equipment totaled $550 making its up front cost a considerable value if reliable.14. Care for this equipment is not totally without effort. Once a month I routinely wash out the bottom of the mowing deck to insure clippings flow effectively to the bag. The lack of heat from a combustion engine seems to preserve the painted finish allowing the deck to be completely cleaned to a almost new state and I have not seen any indication of chipping or rust.15. Despite regular use the cutting blade has remained sharp and has not required sharpening.16. The blower works every bit as effectively as a gas powered blower but is perhaps the loudest of the 3 pieces of equipment.I have always been able to mow my entire yard on a single charge of all 3 batteries but a yard larger than maybe 3,200 sf. would likely require additional batteries which can be purchased separately at a cost of $119.99 each.In conclusion for my size and type of yard, the Greenworks equipment has been a very good solution for my lawn care, and I highly recommend this gear.Who wouldn't I recommend this gear for? I wouldn't recommend this for someone who has a lot if tall brush or rough cut obstacles that have to be routinely traversed. This is not a heavy or brush cut solution.

Despite not finding any reviews for this string trimmer i went against my instincts and bought it. The reason i bought this model is it is the only cordless string trimmer i could find that uses 0.105” line. The trimmer is very strong and i was able to trim my 1/2 acre on one charge. Unfortunately the trimmer head had a wobble to it that made the vibration unbearable so it was returned.

First, I like the trimmer. This is my first electric. Just got tired of mixing 2cyl fuel, the noise...hassle with starting it sometimes, etc. Basically...I'm getting lazy in my old age is what I'm saying.The trimmer and blower both work great. Just on my first day of use but I do like them both. Plenty of ummph to do basic trimming and clean up. The line feed is something you get used to. Self feeds by pulsing the trigger vs beating the head against the ground as you do in most gas trimmers. And yes...I beat this one on the ground a few times before going back and reading the instructions...but hey...I'm a guy...that's how we do things.Trimmer is way easier to carry around for longer periods and is pretty well balanced. The blower is something you almost don't even notice weight wise. I'm thinking of using it in the house now instead of the vacuum cleaner....just open the door and blow everything out into the yard.The only sliggggght negative I have on this is that I didn't get 45 minutes out of the battery so having to recharge between sections of the yard is kind of pain. But, the cost on this thing is so reasonable that I just ordered two aftermarket batteries and another charger so I'm not dinging it too badly for that. The add says 45 minutes and you could definitely do that probably with a little trigger control. But what guy doesn't run a trimmer at full throttle? That's right...a girly man!All in all, I really do like it so far and would recommend it for anyone thinking of making the switch. Hopefully the batteries make it 2-3 years and if they do, I'll be putting this one in the win category.

This is my second summer user the weed eater. It cuts great but the battery only last about 30 minutes. The main issue is it is so long it is very hard on the shoulder. I am 5'5'' and my husband is 5'10" and we both have issues using it because of the length. There is no way to adjust the length and that is why I gave it one star.The blower works good but not much power, so it takes a long time which kills the battery.

greenworks reliability, well made for the homeowner, easy to use, powerful enough for normal usage.

Fortunately, my lawn isn't terribly large, in fact it's relatively small.By the time I've been trimming the edges or clearing the driveway for a few minutes, the battery seems to get tired.I can either take care of the lawn edging or clear the driveway on one charging, but not both.kHOWEVER, it does either quite well for a limited time.

I love that the battery fits both weedwhip and leaf blower. The battery seems to last longer that my old weedwhip's battery. The "safety" button seems quite hard to push, but thankfully you only have to hold it until it starts cutting.

Impecable en su presentación. Multi usos.

pre season order havent yet used it it has charged the battery

La maquina y el sistema me gustó mucho pero no llegó completa, a la sopladora le falta la pieza numero 3, me gustaría que me la enviaran por favor

Please note that the battery in the picture is not the one delivered with it! I received the one on the left, which is incompatible with my existing accessories with the one on the right.
