This trimmer is tough enough to do the job. No gas with ethanol to ruin the carb of a 2 cycle. The batteries are the same as there other 18-volt tools. I'm sold on the cordless yard tools.
I like this trimmer very much. I can just go get it and snap a battery on and do my trimming. The batteries do not last for extended trimming but you get two so that works for me. I hate getting out electric cords for my large yard so this is just great.
6-9 hours to charge the battery, 6-9 minutes to use it up should be included in the features copy. If you don't compare it to a gas model you will be less disappointed in performance of this 18volt.
You can tell when you're using the weeder. I bought this primarily for our rather smallish patch of front lawn - and it does do a terrific job, and it exceeds my expectations of cutting through absolutely everything easily and quickly, BUT -- it comes with two rechargeable batteries and you're told they are supposed to work for approximately an hour at a time. They work really well for about twenty minutes and then they start to put forth less of a serious charge. It just doesn't work nearly as intensely after that period of time. It starts to feel "tired."I keep both batteries fully charged to do our front lawn and the trimming and use almost both batteries to do it.I am very pleased with the machine, BUT the batteries should really hold a fuller charge for longer than they do.
Just purchased my first home. Actually worked better than I expected, and I am very happy with my purchase. Just put this together and used it for the first time tonight.
However, my yard is very small and I knew I wanted something environmentally friendly. Used it to trim taller grass and weeds along the borders of our garage and fence - also used it to edge around a bricked landscaped area. I was a little hesitant about buying over-priced cordless tools because of the bad reviews they often get here.
(after charging the batteries overnight) I was very happy with how well things went. To give you an idea, it takes aprox. 10-15 minutes to mow our entire lawn.
Worked perfectly.
