Priced below $50, this string trimmer is one of the most affordable units available on the market. If offers great value, since the powerful 6.5 A motor makes it a very good choice for all domestic trimming and edging tasks you might need to do.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This trimmer has enough power to do pretty much every small domestic job you might come across. Additionally, this trimmer has a short yet precise string perfectly suited for small-sized jobs.
If you rotate this unit's shaft, you can convert this trimmer into an edger, so you can finish your garden work by straightening the grass at the sidewalk. While the edging function works well, it does take some time to become used to it, as no wheel supports the trimmer while you are doing the job.
This string trimmer is, in fact, one of the lightest trimmers available on the market. It weighs only 5.2 pounds, meaning that it's easy to carry around by pretty much anyone.
While most of the trimmers release the string either based on the resistance or releasing it when you bump the head against the ground, GreenWorks have decided to do it differently. The trimmer releases the string when you release the power trigger. For some, it may be hard to get used to this system.
