Review: From someone who cares nothing about lawn care - this thing is AWESOME. - So like many I hate yard work. It's friggin hot in Florida. I have a kid that mows the front of the house but the back cannot be mowed because I have solar panels everywhere. Plus the kid just has a riding mower its not like he's doing the worlds best job. But I'm lazy, I have health issues that screw up my body and well it sucks. I bought this because I needed to do the backyard as well as clean up the front lawn. I had never heard of this company but the more research I did, it kept coming up as either a top choice or close. It had lots of good reviews so I said sure I'll try it! I was torn between which model to buy but ended up going with the top of the line one the 16" diameter with the automagic line release when chopping away. I always HATED putting line in my gas trimmer, it was always something and just was irritating. I liked that it came with line pre-loaded and how the system works to load new line when its time. It also came with an extra set of the yellow/orange line. So I went to town with this thing, I chopped down all kinds of weeds and edged the front of the house. You can kinda feel and even hear when the system releases more line. I'm a trained engineer and I'm very stumped on how it knows it needs to release line. I abuse my tools and this thing is a champ! The only major gripe I have is that they don't sell branded line in 16" diameter yellow/orange line replacement. They have 14 and 15 but no 16. Weird. So I bought their premium braided line which I will have to use one day. So far the line holds up well. The battery well its basically a 60V Lithium Ion setup that stores 300wh of power. I happen to have as a hobby batteries! (remember the solar? yeah) The battery life was approx 50 minutes give or take. If you let the battery sit a few mins in between jobs Li Ion batteries by their chemistry will slightly increase the voltage of the battery. The charger is nice and fast, I don't think its loud but I have all kinda of fans and gadgets with fans. Ironically I build Lithium battery packs to power parts of my own, that recharge via solar. So I thought to myself "what if I built a bigger battery and stored it in like a backpack? Guess what the company sells!!! They have a backpack style power system but its not using a different battery. So I picked up a backpack and cut away everything I was only interested in the wire and the connection system. I used Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries(LFP) which are safer than Li-ion. And I built a mega battery that stores around 3kWh of power. So I gained 10X power. Of course that pack is heavy so its more of a 'I wonder if I can do it' but its nice not to ever worry if I'm going to run out of power. I also got the strap for it, mostly for my g/f. Bleh its ok its not the best and I bet one of my rifle slings would do better lol. Some things to remember for safety about Liion batteries. NEVER leave them. completely discharged for a long time, now I'm sure the battery management system on-board takes care of this by calling out "dead" at a safe voltage for storage. Rule of thumb for extended store for those type of batteries is to store them around 30% full. It's actually not great to store it completely charged either for long periods of no use. This is true for your Telsa, and anything else using LFP and Li-ion batteries. Also best practice is the wait a bit before charging it after you just ran it for 50 minutes. If you can, give it 2-3 hrs of rest before recharging it will make your battery last much longer if you follow basically rules of Lithium based batteries. I'm a battery nerd I told ya, engineer, and solar DIY hobbyist. Do not charge or leave your battery somewhere that gets crazy hot OR cold. I'm very happy I went with I call a 'no-name brand' trimmer. Even though it sounds like it IS a name brand up there with DeWalt and the others. I really do hope they make more of the pre-cut 16" string. It's a PITA to cut sting, drop it hot water to get it uncurled and then feed it into the trimmer. I love the already cut stuff!! String seems to be lasting well, I beat it hard. I have had "delayed" automatic line release happen a few times. I'm talking 2-3 minutes tops. I don't think you can go wrong w/this brand and exact model. I love it. Beats my gas powered one that would just leave me stinking of gasoline exhaust and had to deal with the stupid line. Plus the gas powered one likely doesn't work anymore its been sitting rotting for a long time. I may try to take the engine out of it and see if I can play with it. Yeah I wrote a book. I do that sometimes. Whatever. Yellow/orange line = 5/5 Automagic line release = 4.9/5. (only cause of that delay sometimes) Weight = 5/5 (and I have a bad back) Toughness = 5/5 Cutting through deep stuff! - 5/5 Strap = 2/5 Battery = 5/5 (50 min runtime is respectable) Charger noise = 5/5 (I dont think its loud but YMMV) Cost = 4/5 Overall = 5/5
Review: THIS SUCKER IS THE BEST!!! BUY IT NOW!! - My last 3 are in a Missouri land fill, the most recent a popular yellow and black one that needed a head every time used, it did a double gainer into the back of a blue truck and some dude named grok recommended this one... a little pricey I thought... but you know what.... it DOES EVERYTHING IT SAYS, BUT BETTER AND CHEAPER AND FASTER THAN THE OTHERS WITH MORE FUN. AN INGENIOUS STRING RELOAD... SECONDS. BALANCED, RECHARGER IS AWESOME. Battery is heavy, but very well balanced, harness mount equipped, no harness provided, I DON'T NEED NO STINKING HARNESS ON THIS BABY it rides along looking for something to whack... not weighing you down. Why did I write this review so late... today I took on a 20 year old 150 ft metal smash top metal fence infested with Forsythia and it mowed them down like there was no tomorrow, I had to double time to keep up with the darn thing.. Twist the forward handle so the head is sideways and the string is running parallel to the verticals and we had Forsythia flying everywhere. And yes, I used both the supplied string which works well and the other desertcart string dual twist center thigamagigs... I don't know but it sure worked good. It was great, 150 feet and never having to beat the head on the ground repeatedly to get more string... not even once... never do that on this one... just get after the baddies and pull the trigger... this one is a treat to use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great trimmer!
*by B***B on August 10, 2025*

This weed eater is an absolute unit! I was very hesitant to buy electric as I remember when I was a kid the electric mower we had sucked. Needless to say the technology has come a long way since then! So far I’ve been very impressed with this weed eater! It takes a little getting used to as compared to gas but once you do it’s straight power which I love. Yesterday I stress tested it as we had a section of our property that had gotten rather long and overgrown. I figured that would be the perfect opportunity to test it! The weed eater ate right through even some of the thickest brush! I was very impressed! I will say to the battery is very good! I was able to do 3 properties with it before it was low on battery! I think for my needs this will do me very good! String also auto extends which is cool! Length is nice because you can extend or shrink the unit! Overall the unit just works well and the design is well thought out! In terms of ease of use it doesn’t get much better than this unit! If you are hesitant about buying one like I was I’d encourage you to just press the order button!
