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.

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.

Solid
This trimmer has a solid and professional feel, as it is built with high-quality aluminum and sturdy, rubber-coated plastics. The construction does not feel loose or wobbly.

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.

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.

Can use strings for virtually every scenario
This trimmer can use professional grade strings, as thick as 0.095", so it can cut almost any grass or weed you might find.

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.

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.

Pro
•••
Engine is easy to start
The engine itself is easy to start, thanks to the specially designed starter and the Air Purge that removes excess air from the carburetor.

Con
•••
Heavy
While this unit is light for a 4-stroke gas trimmer, weighing only 11 pounds, it is almost twice as heavy as electric alternatives.

Pro
•••
Adjustable handle for comfort
You can adjust the position of the handle to get the most comfortable grip. This is crucial if you want to use the trimmer for a prolonged period.

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.

Pro
•••
Can work with a blade
If you find that the string is too weak to fight against certain stubborn weeds, it can be replaced with a metal blade.

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.

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.

Lots of trimmer attachments available
Husqvarna offers various accessories that allow using this trimmer as an edger, a brush cutter, a cultivator, or even a pole saw.
