Great value for its price

Con
Probably requires an extension cord
Since this is a corded trimmer, you need an extension cable pulled through the garden. Sometimes it can tangle up or get in the way, something that wouldn’t happen with a battery operated or gas trimmer.

Top
Pro
Powerful enough for everyday, domestic use
The trimmer features a quite powerful 6.5 A motor that does a great job cutting grass and weeds. There shouldn’t be any problems when trimming overgrown grass and even light weeds.
See More
Top
Con
Consumes a lot of lines
The trimmer uses a thin 0.065" line that can be consumed rather quickly. It can empty in about 30 minutes of extensive trimming. A new spool costs around $8.

Top
Pro
Perfect for trimming near walls
The front-mounted wheel of this trimmer can become in handy when cutting near walls, so you don’t bump your trimmer into them.
See More
Top
Con
The motor can overheat quickly
Just make sure to be careful and don’t jam the string, because the powerful motor can quickly overheat.
See More
Top
Pro
Can be used as an edger
Besides being a standard trimmer, it can be used as an edging tool. Just rotate the head, and you are ready to edge your driveway. The front-mounted wheel will help you move along and make a straight line.

Top
Con
Has only one string
One string trimmers cut slower and can’t handle harsher trimming tasks as efficiently as two string trimmers.
See More
Top
Pro
Electric engine means easy maintenance
You don’t need to worry about oil changes, dirty air filter, and gasoline. All you need is a solid 110V AC mains power outlet and an extension cord.
See More
Top
Con
Could be more comfortable for edging
You may have to lean forward while edging, especially if you are a tall person.
See More
Top
Pro
No hassle with line changing
Since it is a single-line trimmer, it is easier to wind in the line without any unnecessary tangles that can happen with dual line trimmers.
See More
Top
Con
Feels plasticky and flimsy
The trimmer doesn’t feel as sturdy or reliable as more expensive trimmers.
See More
Top
Pro
Feeds the line automatically
The line feeds itself, depending on resistance felt, as you trim along. It is worth noting that the line needs to be winded tightly for this to work.
See More
Top
Con
Power settings are fixed
There is no way to change the power level of the trimmer, so you’re stuck with maximum power. While most of the time that is okay, sometimes you need less power when trimming near walls and fences ,to save the trimming line, or near flowers, to avoid cutting them.
See More
Top
Pro
A very wide cutting path
The trimmer has a 14 inch wide cutting path, which is one of the largest available in this price range. This saves time as fewer trimmer swings are required to get the job done.

Hassle-free operation

Con
Battery life is limited

Pro
Requires little maintenance
Contrarily to what happens with gas string trimmers, there is no need to worry about oil, spark plugs, engine wear, or keeping extra gas.
See More
Top
Con
Not very comfortable for tall people
It is not the longest trimmer on the market, so it may be uncomfortable for very tall people (over 6').
See More
Top
Pro
Converts into an edging tool
With a quick turn of the shaft, the trimmer can quickly become an edger, complete with height guard to keep your edges even. Additionally, a built-in guide helps to keep the edge straight and even. It flips up out of the way when the unit is in trimming mode. Versatility like this eliminates the need to buy another tool just for edging.

Excellent cutting capacity
The trimmer has a 56 V powerful brushless motor in combination with a 0.095" thick string. The motor is powerful enough to easily cut down tall grass and even very thick weeds that would be impossible to deal with using less powerful weed whackers.

Con
Must be operated responsibly, since it can project stuff around
Because of the trimmer's high power and 15" cutting swath, it can throw around pieces of weed and even small stones with sufficient force.

Has an impressive runtime
The included 2.5 Ah battery lasts around 40 minutes, but it is possible to install a 7.5 Ah battery that has the power to operate this trimmer for two hours non-stop. Just keep in mind that the bigger the battery, the heavier and more expensive it is.

Very good for stubborn weeds
The 2-stroke engine is powerful enough to cut thick grass and though weeds, while still maintaining a low weight.
See More
Top
Con
Maintenance isn't particularly simple
Since this trimmer has a two-stroke engine, you have to mix gas and oil before filling up the trimer. Not everyone likes this process, because spills and the smell of gasoline are almost unavoidable. On top of that, it requires maintenance like regularly changing or cleaning the spark plug and the air filter.

Ideal for heavy tasks
The 4-stroke 25cc engine produces one horsepower: enough to fight the thickest weeds and longest grass. The engine is powerful enough to work with blades or professional grade strings as well as different accessories.
See More

Con
Noisy
Since it has a petrol engine, it’s noisier than electric alternatives. In fact, it's recommended to use an ear protection while running this trimmer.

Pro
Less prone to vibrations
The 4-stroke engine produces almost no vibrations, when compared to a 2-stroke engine. That significantly eases the pressure on the hands when using the tool.
See More
Top
Con
Needs frequent maintenance
Compared to electric alternatives, this needs lots of maintenance. It requires oil, spark plug, and filter changes to keep it in operational condition. Also, the engine will wear out in time, needing some service work.
See More
Top
Pro
Optimized line feeding
You can dose the necessary length of the line by simply tapping the head against the ground instead of winding it out manually. While not as convenient as automatic line feeding, it gives greater precision and minimises unwanted line consuming.
See More
Top
Con
Bad for tight spots
Some users complain that the string is located too high from the ground, making it hard to cut grass in tight spots evenly.
See More
Top
Pro
No oil mixing required
Compared to 2-stroke trimmers, a 4-stroke unit doesn’t require oil and gas mixing, thus avoiding the hassle of keeping a separate mixture for the trimmer and the unpleasant mixing procedure.
See More
Top
Pro
Trims fast
The trimmer uses a two-line system, meaning that it does double the job whacking the weeds and everything is trimmed more evenly and a bit faster.

Con
Engine requires special attention
Since this is a two-stroke trimmer, you can’t just pull the string and hope that it starts. First of all, it requires a mixture of gas and oil to run. Additionally, you need to pump the mixture to the carburetor to start it.
