Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am 5'2" and am 50+ years old. My husband has a large and heavy gas powered trimmer that he and my sons use but I wanted one that I could use. I decided to buy locally but wanted to do a review here because this is where I started my search. I ended up with this Trimmer for a couple of reasons-reviews, price and accessibility locally. First let me say-LOVE IT! You have to snap 2 pieces on-the 2 black pieces you can see in the photo which takes a mere 2 minutes and you are literally good to go. We have 4 acres and I thought I would just do around the house but this machine is so amazing I couldn't stop! There is that instant gratification you get with a machine like this and well I just kept going. I won't say I have done the whole 4 acres but if I could put enough electric cords together I could absolutely do it all. It is very easy to operate, lightweight enough for me and the shaft can be shortened or lengthened so my sons and husband can use it too. I like it because I just pick it up and go while my son was mixing oil/gas and pulling on the cord to get his going! I was able to get through some areas of the lawn that let's just say were "overlooked" by my boys so they were pretty overgrown-tall and dense and no problem at all. I am using the spool that it comes with and I would say I have used this for a couple of hours each of the last 2 days. Another plus-a good workout for your arms! Even though it is lightweight and easy to use holding a machine you don't normally hold for hours will make your muscles sore! I thought this would be our back-up trimmer but everyone really liked it so I am saying this is going to the front of the line for use around the house and the gas powered for further out on the property. I just wish I had purchased this a long time ago.
