The trimmer arrived and required some basic assembly (the only tool needed is a Phillips "X" head screwdriver). The trimmer guard has a reversible guide that needs is delivered in the 14" position. If you want the full 16" cutting swath, you need to reverse the guide (which is as simple as backing out two Phillips head screws and then putting them back in). The large plastic handle was the most difficult part of the procedure: the plastic handle ships screwed together. It should be a simple procedure to unscrew, fit the handle anywhere that is comfortable on the upper length of the trimmer and then screw together again. Unfortunately the factor had tightened these screws very tight! And the screws are located slightly under the handle which makes it difficult to get a direct angle on the heads. I had to use my cordless driver to back the screws out.
The trimmer arrived with some string loaded, but you'll soon need more. I was very pleased with how easy it was to load string into this trimmer. I cut a sing 10-foot length off of SuperTrim2 SSQ080D1/2-12 1/2-Pound Spool of .08-Inch-by-200-Foot Home Owner-Grade Square Grass Trimmer Line . The 0.08 thickness is the recommended string, but I have seen people use the 0.095 string as well. After cutting the length of string, line up the lines on the trimmer head. Insert the string through one hole and pull it through until both sides are approximately equal length. The bump feed head has arrows showing you the direction to wind. Hold the trimmer head and turn the button. The button clicks as it winds the string into place.
The bump feed also works brilliantly. An easy tap or two on the grass and fresh string advances into place. This easy feed system means no down time even when working along the chain link fence line.
Since I already had the GreenWorks GLM801600 80V 21-Inch Cordless Lawn Mower , I was familiar with the power in Greenworks 80v system. I also knew that I wanted the bigger GreenWorks GBA80400 80V 4.0Ah Lithium Ion Battery so that I could use it interchangeably with my mower.
The trimmer equipped with the 4.0Ah battery has a lot of staying power. I was able to edge the front yard. The handle allows you operate the trimmer sideways. It makes beautiful lines along the edges of the sidewalk and driveway. I still had plenty of juice to take the trimmer into the backyard. There is a turbo button on the handle that revs up the trimmer and slices through vines, weeds, and runaway stalks.
The only downside to the 4.0Ah battery with this trimmer (besides cost) is that it can be heavy. Fortunately there is a shoulder strap that really helps balance the unit and takes all the weight off of the arms. When I figured out the shoulder strap, it enabled me to use this trimmer indefinitely.
Investing in this admittedly pricey system was worth it to me. I had the freedom and power to do heavy yard work without the hassle of storing gasoline at my house. Since my garage also doubles as a home gym, I can store the trimmer in the garage without introducing noxious fumes. I was very happy with how quickly the battery chopped through vines and tall grasses. Finally, the added convenience of a second battery to use with my mower means that I can work non-stop in my large yard by simply charging one battery when I trim and charging the other battery when I mow.

Little background - I had a 4-Cycle Troy-Bilt trimmer for MANY years while living on 8+ acres. It was awesome. No mixing fuel, powerful, smooth speed changes, and attachments. I have the trimmer, edger, blower, leaf vacuum, and tiller. With this much land to handle - it got a workout. Eventually the fuel lines cracked/rotted and had to be replaced. Easy to do and it still worked great. Eventually I moved to a neighborhood on a MUCH smaller lot, but took the old faithful with me. Sadly it finally gave up the ghost a couple years later, but certainly owed me nothing (I think I had it for close to 15 years). So I drove right out to Lowes to pickup another. I knew TB had been purchased by MTD I think and there was a good chance the new stuff wasn't great. But I had much less land to care for and really liked the 4 cycle convenience. Got the new trimmer home and HATED it. It ran terrible, there was NO smooth speed up and it would bog down constantly if it wasn't running at full speed and full speed didn't really FEEL like full speed. It could barely drive the leaf blower. It was so bad I thought something was wrong with it because it ran NOTHING like my old one. I took it back to Lowes and exchanged it - the replacement wasn't better. I should have taken that one back but toughed it out. I learned to adjust with how badly the engine ran and when trimming near our fence - ran it at full speed, covering my legs in lots of green bits. But all my attachments worked and once it warmed up it kinda ran OK. It never started easy. < 2 years after purchase, the pull rope gears broke. SO done.
Being 2018 I was hoping there was a decent battery powered alternative. After a bunch of research I found this 80V line of tools and decided to give it a try. I only needed the trimmer currently, but the idea of an electric mower appealed to me as well (though the cheap MTD mower I bought when we moved runs like a dream and has never given us trouble - go figure, thanks Briggs & Stratton). But I wanted a trimmer that would work with my attachments which all were in great shape. Could a battery powered unit work with my edger?
I had just replaced the blade in my edger, so when the Greenworks trimmer arrived, that was the first task. A new square edged blade is going to be even harder to drive until it wears down to a rounded edge. This thing drove it like a boss! My trimmer had been dead probably 3 weeks so my 'edges' were pretty much gone. So this was an even harder chore than normal and this trimmer mowed through it. Then I put on the included trimmer attachment and trimmed: it made fast work of the, now, heavy grass on the fence edges, all at LOW speed. This trimmer was so solid at low speed, I was able to trim my entire yard and my legs were pretty much clean - not covered in tons of shredded vegetation. Even better - I bump fed trim line MUCH less than I did with the gas trimmer (which I always had to run at higher speed to maintain cutting) With a lot of cement edging - this is huge for me. The trimmer is well balanced, not too heavy, and the 2Ah battery lasted through the entire job (and given how hard I had to edge - wouldn't have surprised me if it hadn't)
So a couple things to note:
1) This trimmer does take a couple seconds to ramp up to full speed. I suspect this is a design choice, not a flaw. Electric motors can produce a LOT of torque and if the motor hit full RPM when you jammed the trigger - it would possibly over stress internal components or attachments designed for the more laggy ramp up of gasoline trimmers. It's not a huge deal because... this trimmer holds low speed and instantly reacts to changes in trigger position so once it's going, it stays going and you can easily ramp up/down. You quickly get used to it (and it's so easy to maintain cutting speed - you rarely have to ramp up anyway)
2) The trimmer also will 'stop' if you overload it to protect itself and the attachments. When I was edging in well overgrown edges with a new blade and pushed too deep (pretty much ALL the way into the ground), it would stop. Pull it up and restart - worked fine. I quickly adjusted the angle and pressure to edge a little slower without overloading it. This again is likely meant to protect the motor, gears, and battery from a stalled motor (which causes huge current spikes in a motor). It was a MINOR adjustment - this thing is that powerful. When I edged again normally a week later - didn't even have to worry about it because the edger flew through it.
3) Attachments - I can't speak to other brands, but all my Troy-Bilt attachments fit. It ran the leaf blower at a MUCH higher (and normal) RPM than the gas trimmer did - the gas trimmer always seemed to struggle with the blower. They fit perfectly and there was a ton of grease inside the shaft to lube things up during initial use. You may have to wipe a bit back into the shaft after a couple uses.
So I'm thrilled with this! Given how batteries are about half the cost of these electric yard tools, I already have a 2Ah battery - so looking forward to getting a mower with a 4Ah battery and being done with yardwork gas for good! Highly recommended!

I will be returning this because it’s just not usable for me. Was hoping it was going to be better, I love my mower, but I’ll have to find another trimmer to pair with it.
Greenworks designed this to be a Beast it will knock down a small forest in mins and is super fast and quiet. I bought this because of the large yard i have and the quietness and no cords or loud gasser's to mess with. I run large Ah battery and it will run this for approx 90 mins and by then your wore out. If you buy this get at least a 4Ah battery and you will be good to go, you can also use 0.90 heavier line but the stock 0.85 line it comes with is plenty in my book. You can also get reload spools for it at reasonable pricing. The shoulder strap is a plus on this as well, and it is attachment capable this model so various other attachments you can use if need be.
