Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have a small yard. This trimmer/edger works fine with a couple of exceptions: first it is head heavy and secondly, the left hand handle is not much use. The timmer works fine, but I have to hold the shaft itself, the handle leaves the head too heavy to use and I am not a weak person. As with most electric trimmers the head is heavy as everything is located there. In a gas model the weight is distributed at both ends with the trimmer itself at the ground and the engine at the top. On the plus side, it is quieter than gas, starts instantly, goes off instantly, and has plenty of power. On the negative side is the electric cord. I bought this model to go with my electric mower. The lack of gase and oil and difficult starting out weight the negatives. There is only one screw involved in assembly. I can't comment on changing the cord as I haven't done it yet. I did buy extra spools. The double lines are very effective. By the time I finished, I had just about mastered using the trimmer and edger. My rating of four is because it is a bit awkward to handle because of the heavy head. As a midrange inexpensive trimmer it is more than satisfactory. If I had a lot of trimming, I would have tried a gas model again,but I was worn out on starting the Craftsman gas edger I had to say nothing about the noise.
Update May 27 -- After fooling around with the adjustments regarding the head and the shaft, I found a position that that makes using the trimmer much easier both for holding and for trimming. This has made the trimmer much easier to use as it is easier to handle and easier to maintain a constant line while trimming and edging. As a result I have raised my rating. The double lines really can chew up the grass when you need to edge.
Update July 18 -- Although I am happy with the edger, it uses line at a fast rate. I have used the original line spool as well as the three spools that come in the prefilled replacement spool package (three spools per package for $17.) The problem now is the replacement spools are on back ordere. Greenworks 29242 3-Pack Replacement Trimmer Line Spool for 21052 and 21212. I presume I can reload the spools with other line of the same diameter. I line replacement is going to be a problem, I will lower my rating.
