Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a true WEED WHACKER! It's the bomb--it does not play around. It whacks everything in its path, be warned. I love it -- cuts my work time in half compared to my Ryobi whose battery just quit on me. With a replacement battery costing $150, I decided to just buy a new machine, and I'm glad I switched. I think the double line makes a big difference, and the battery recharges in 2 hours. I've been using it about 3 weeks with no problem so far. Be careful not to get too close to plants like lillies with heavy leaves; they get caught in the mechanism and really pull at the motor, probably shortening its running time--and they can gum the whole works up (I used to have to stop and take things apart to get them unwound from the wheel of my Ryobi), but this one just shakes it off if you move it in time. It is long, as some have mentioned, but that means I can reach under bushes easily. I can handle it fairly easily, and I'm a 5' 6", 130 lb, 71 year old woman with not very strong arms. This GreenWorks product is A+ in my book .
