Title: A powerful, reliable, easy-to-use cordless exceptional tool for maintaining a neat & tidy yard!
Review: The Greenworks 40V 13-Inch Cordless String Trimmer / Edger (Gen 2) is an exceptional tool for maintaining a neat and tidy yard! This trimmer is lightweight and easy to handle, making yard work a breeze. The 40V battery provides plenty of power, allowing me to trim and edge my entire lawn on a single charge. The 13-inch cutting path is perfect for getting the job done quickly and efficiently, and the dual functionality as a trimmer and edger is incredibly convenient. I love how easy it is to switch between trimming and edging modes, and the results are always clean and precise. The battery charges quickly and holds its charge well, so Iâm always ready to tackle the next task. This trimmer is a fantastic addition to my lawn care routine, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful, reliable, and easy-to-use cordless tool!

Title: Works as good as the other G-Max products.
Review: Got this after buying the 16 inch chain saw. I had a really old weed whacker and figured it was time to replace it. My old one was a corded electric version.I don't like the cords. Step on them, trip on them and it's a hassle. Or after time like with mine the cord would come unplugged frequently and I'd end up having to bend the prongs to try to keep it in longer.Assembly was simple. Used it to touch up the yard and it was fine. Then on to the big test - whacking down all the spring weed growth in my vegetable garden. Good news is that it had more power than my very old corded version. Auto line feed worked fine. We had a lot of rain so the weeds in my garden were significant - some of them already were about 18 inches tall and base stalk diameters were close to an inch. This thing didn't have any problems. I was able to touch up my small back yard and whack down all the garden weeds with one fully charged battery.Only downside I experienced is that removing the battery was a major pain. Before using it I plugged in a battery to see if it would work. I could barely get the battery out (yes I pushed the little battery lever). I got my spare battery out and plugged it in and tried to remove it - same thing. Maybe I haven't perfected the technique since I've only used it once but it wasn't a small deal. Both my batteries and the trimmer are really new (bought them with the chain saw) - maybe with time it won't be so hard to remove the batteries But removing the battery from the chain saw is much easier than with this. But this was the only bad thing I can think of.Updated 6-9-14: Ok, I seem to have some of the same "auto feed" problems others are experiencing. Went to wack a bunch of different weeds down that were very tall. It worked pretty good but the larger diameter weeds caused the string to break sometimes or thick vine type of weeds broke the line. It wouldn't auto feed. I took it apart and the problem seems to be with the line on the spool itself. It wouldn't auto feed because some of the line was almost anchored to the rest of the line in spots - almost too well anchored. At one point pulling on the line to break the "melt point" resulted in me breaking the line?! It was super frustrating - but I didn't want to waste the entire spool and would go through the ridiculous process of removing the spool each time the cord was too short and manually pulling longer lengths through. I purchased a 3 pack of new spools. I'll try them out and hopefully they are better. I also have trimmer line already and will try to figure out if I can re-line the existing spools somehow. No ding on number of stars just yet. Thing was a champ taking out some weeds with diameter of 1 inch not to mention how thick and tough some of the weeds were. For just regular grass it's still a champ.

Title: Ladies, this is awesome!
Review: I cannot say enough good things about this trimmer. I have lived alone for 16 years, and I have 1 acre of property to take care of. Every trimmer I have used before was so frustrating. I had to yank the cord so hard, prime the engine, always have gas (the correct mix) on hand, and always have the individual cords ready. Every trimmer I used to own ate through their cords, and it was so frustrating to have to carry the cords in my pocket. Having to stop and add the cords every time one broke was so inconvenient. The other trimmers were so heavy! My last trimmer I actually had to wear heavy snow gloves because it vibrated so much that it hurt my hand so much! Enter this trimmer! I knew when I was shopping for a trimmer what I wanted and what I didn't. This trimmer is TRULY incredible. I love the fact that it does not require any gas or oil. I never have to run to the store just to pick up the cords or the oil mix. I absolutely love the fact that I just have to charge the battery, and it starts up by a press of a button. With my old trimmer, I had to lie the thing on its side, step on it a certain way and yank the cord as hard as I could over and over just to get the thing to start. This is so great also because it has an advancing feature when the cord is cut. You don't have to smack it on the ground like other trimmers just to get the cord to advance. It does it automatically! It is so light weight, so someone like me with not a lot of upper body strength can easily carry it and lift it up and down to aim it correctly. I went the ENTIRE summer without having to replace the spool of cord--making doing the job of trimming/edging so much faster. In fact, yesterday was my first time edging my back yard for spring, and the cord ran out. It was so easy to replace. You just depress the button and slide out the old spool. I thought I'd have to get out the manual to see how to do it, but it was only 2 steps. I cannot say enough good things about this trimmer. I love that the head adjusts into an edger and then you can just move to back to the other position. When I purchased it, it was about 20-25$ more than the regular trimmers I had bought from Home Depot, but I thought it might be worth it because it is environmentally more friendly as it will produce no exhaust and not need oil. Let me tell you that those extra 20$ will purchase you a FANTASTIC product. I am so glad I bought it! I remember years ago I had an electric trimmer that didn't have a lot of power behind it, and the battery died fast. I couldn't even do my entire front yard before it died on me, so getting the back yard done on the same day was out of the question. Not the case with this trimmer! The battery does my entire front and back yard on one charge. I will say that it doesn't go past that though. I remember last year, the total of my front and back yard was its limit. It also has the same (or better) power than my gas trimmer, but without all of the hassle. If you are on the fence with this product, let me assure you--it is WELL worth the money!

Title:
Review: El equipo funciona muy bien. La pila tiene muy buena duración incluso más de lo que menciona la descripción. No me he quedado sin pila y además, carga rápido. Soy nueva con este tipo de equipos y aún no sé si era mejor el de doble hilo. La he usado como 6 veces para hierba fina y sacate. No corta maleza (hierba más gruesa) pues se acaba muy rápido el hilo y se atora.

Review: Funciona bastante bien. El único tema es que es un poco pesado si lo quieres usar en bajadas.
