Title: Greenworks Lawn Care Equipment (Long Term Review)
Review: Let's start with the items I think stand out:1. One of the key features for me is storage. I'm a recreational cyclist so my garage is full of bikes leaving little room for lawn equipment. The Greenworks equipment stores vertically against the wall in a area of the garage not normally occupied leaving the area where I keep my road bikes free while not interfering with vehicle parking. This also may be appealing to those that like me have a standard garage but full size trucks, SUV to fit inside.2. As this equipment has no gasoline in it, you are able to transport it inside your vehicle without the danger of exposure to explosive and toxic fumes. This combined with the mowers already compact size mean you have many options for transportation.3. Of all 3 items only the trimmer requires servicing to replace the trimmer string and in this way it is exactly the same as gas powered unit and the trimmer string is a generic standard string I purchased at Wal*Mart.4. I use the second battery for the mower to power the trimmer. I could and sometimes do use the lower amp/hour battery that came with the combo and do when the yard is particularly thick or tall.5. The trimmer operates like a traditional gas unit and dispenses additional string each time the trimmer is activated by the user.6. All 3 devices have safe start buttons to insure deliberate activation and reduce the possibility of accidental activation of the device.7. Speaking of reduced, another key plus in my book is the substantially quieter operation. The mower is not much louder than a household vacuum cleaner. Allowing me to mow much earlier in the day while it's cooler without disturbing my neighbors.8. The mower make a reasonably effective cut but does require 2 passes to accomplish this. I think this may be a limitation of the blade speed. The mower does increase RMP when it hits a certain resistance threshold. The higher speed will help you get through a more dense patch of lawn and will maintain that speed until the resistance drops below the threshold.9. I bag my clippings but attachments were included with the mower that would allow for either ejecting the clippings out of the side or mulching.My front yard is a mixture of fescue, and buffalo grass and grows quite densely and the mower does have to work to cut this area. The sides and back are mostly buffalo and are fertilized but not watered10. The combination of all areas including the ally is 2,600 sf. and used to require approximately a 1 gallon of gasoline a month to maintain with a gas powered edger and mower, and fuel oil mixture for the string trimmer and blower and the inconvenience annually of servicing the motor oil and spark plugs. Comparatively it cost pennies a month to charge the batteries with a substantially reduced mechanical footprint and no physical exposure to fuel or oil. Additionally fumes escaping from gas equipment and containers no longer contaminate the living environment of the house through the garage.11. Now lets consider durability. I have been using this group of Greenworks equipment for over 1 year now with the same batteries that came originally with the equipment. I have experienced no failures or defects. After 2 mowing seasons the battery life has met my expectations of reliability. This was the most important aspect to me because if the batteries died prematurely it would completely negate any operational cost savings.12. Aesthetically the mower has been style to have to outward appearance of a traditional gas mower and while this may not be of particular importance to me personally, some may feel that it is a selling point.13. Now let's talk initial cost. In 2006 I bought a full set of Yardman gas equipment totaling $1,300 and it would cost even more to buy that equipment today. The Greenworks equipment totaled $550 making its up front cost a considerable value if reliable.14. Care for this equipment is not totally without effort. Once a month I routinely wash out the bottom of the mowing deck to insure clippings flow effectively to the bag. The lack of heat from a combustion engine seems to preserve the painted finish allowing the deck to be completely cleaned to a almost new state and I have not seen any indication of chipping or rust.15. Despite regular use the cutting blade has remained sharp and has not required sharpening.16. The blower works every bit as effectively as a gas powered blower but is perhaps the loudest of the 3 pieces of equipment.I have always been able to mow my entire yard on a single charge of all 3 batteries but a yard larger than maybe 3,200 sf. would likely require additional batteries which can be purchased separately at a cost of $119.99 each.In conclusion for my size and type of yard, the Greenworks equipment has been a very good solution for my lawn care, and I highly recommend this gear.Who wouldn't I recommend this gear for? I wouldn't recommend this for someone who has a lot if tall brush or rough cut obstacles that have to be routinely traversed. This is not a heavy or brush cut solution.

Title: Unexpected power!
Review: After being impressed by a Greenworks brand pressure washer I had purchased a year ago, I decided to give the line trimmer/blower combo a try. I was very impressed at the ability to cut tall grass and small vines for a solid 25 minutes with the 2AH battery it comes with. I also purchased a 6AH battery as a backup and can trim my entire yard and then blow away debris on a single charge. The blower has ample power to remove gravel if pointed at it, and easily removes needles and leaves from porches, walkways, and decks. Overall I highly recommend this 40V combo for the average homeowner and couldn't be more pleased with this purchase. They are light weight and a lot quieter than gas models with plenty of power for normal chores around home. Ben in Washington State

Title: Works pretty good
Review: This set works pretty good. I have a really small yard, so I switched to these battery tools instead of having to buy and store fuel.Battery - So far I have been able to use both on one battery charge without any degradation of power. My only gripe with the battery is sometimes charger acts like it's not charging. But when I check the battery, it seems fine. I have to unplug/replug the charger, then it acts right.Trimmer - Lightweight. Came with 2 spools, so that'll be nice if I run out of string in the middle of trimming, can just switch it out. Sometimes the line doesn't feed on the bump. Otherwise, it works great for me.Blower - Here is where they lose a star. It's not as powerful as I would like. I doubt it's 110mph like the specs say. It's slower than my electric which is rated at 90mph. Definitely not as powerful as the electric one that I'm replacing. But the advantage here is no cord. So I can live with it.Overall a good value and just what i need for my small yard.

Title: Convenient
Review: These work great for my smaller yard and the charge lasts an extremely long time. The auto-feed of the cord on the trimmer works perfectly and the blower has more than enough strength to easily clear sidewalks and stairs. The battery charging is simple and straightforward. I store the battery in a plastic storage container so it doesn't contact metal shelves. Got this to replace a corded trimmer (blower was a bonus) and the convenience of not having to unreel and re-reel a long cord is wonderful.
