This is the second year I have been using this product and I like it quite a bit. It is more powerful that other electric trimmers I have used and you can by extra spools at Home Depot and even rewind them yourself. It is easy to adjust for height, length and angle. It used to take me 2o minutes to do what now is cut in half the time

How easy or difficult is it to change from trimmer to edger and back again? Would you purchase this product if you were a person of slight build and very short with moderate strength. If not, does Greenworks have another product you have used previously or have knowledge of?

It switches from a trimmer to an edger with just a push of the release button and turn the base around till it clicks. Mine is still working great after third year. It is light weight and much easier to handle than any other electric trimmer I ever owned. It is fast so be ready for that. I finish my yard work in about 15 minutes less because of using this.

No, the trimmer line will not advance automatically. You have to manually take off the trimmer replacement head and manually unwrap the line and then string it through the head while trying to keep the line from unraveling from around the trimmer head. I true pain in the rear. if you want to be very frustrated and not be able to use it to trim, but need a great paperweight in the garage, then buy it. I am putting mine out on the curb for garbage pickup tommorow.

Yes, that is why I purchased 2 of these for replacement line for my Greenworks Weed Eater. Just follow the instructions that you got with your Greenworks on winding the spool with replacement line. I hope this helped you.

Yes, I had this same issue. Loved the saw so much the chain dulled. Greenworks does not have chains. It is an Oregon 8" chain. GreenWorks manual says it is a 91PJ033X. Oregon says:This is not a standard loop size and cannot be purchased at a retail store. You will need to go to a dealer and have this loop made. The replacement part number is 91PX033G. I gave her my zip code and she sent me two local dealers that could make it for me. It was easy and cheaper and faster. Rebecca Somerville is Technical Customer Service for Oregon. 503.653.4667 or 800.223.5168 or Rebecca.Somerville@blount.com She is VERY knowledgeable and helpful. I suggest you contact her and give her your zip code for the dealer nearest you. Hope this helps.

Yep. It's light years ahead of the early ones, tho. I put mine through some heavy work and it never failed to feed properly.As long as the head is spooled correctly there should be zero issues. OR, you could opt for an after-market head that accepts different trimmer systems w/fixed "grass blades".

I have owned a B&D; trimmer for 12 years and always wound my own spools. I have never had any problems with the spools I wound. Saves bucks.

A spool of monofilament cutting line is pre-installed by the manufacturer. When the cutting line needs replaced, install a new spool. Use replacement spool 29252 Single Line String Trimmer Spool.

Laurie, I have no idea why it was discontinued or that it had been discontinued until I got this inquiry from Amazon. I am very satisfied with the one I bought. It does a good job at trimming grass and weeds in areas where you can not use a string trimmer or lawn mower. It won't cut large tough weeds, but then it wasn't designed to do that. I'm sorry to hear that you can't buy it anymore.

Go to the greenworks website. They have the manual online which includes warranty info

The manual says that you can wrap the spool or buy them pre-wrapped. I have used my trimmer many times but haven't run out of string yet but I'm planning to try wrapping myself.

I have not had a problem with my trimmer and I wonder if there is just something NOT RIGHT with the trimmer you got. You might return it with the reason and have them replace it if they will???????? I hate it when things don't work right!

I didn't see anything on Amazon, other than line you would have to wind on the spool you have. I'd call Greenworks directly:1-888-90-WORKS

I bought the trimmer last summer, used until November, and a few times this spring. I haven't had to replace the string yet. It autofeeds appropriately.....not too long or too short. Compared to my last cordless trimmer from B&D;, this one is much lighter and better.

The first time I had the "electrical" problem, I replaced the handle with hose AND the wand they were attached to; the second time I tried just replacing the wand; now it's time to take action again ... which means I'm "shopping". My advice to previous quesioners ... don't buy the Electrolux Oxygen or any other Electrolux model. It's not the same machine it was when my parents bought it and it lasted forever. It is Eureka, and it is junk! I forgot to mention, I also had an electrical problem while it was still under warranty that someone else fixed, so that means the electrical short I'm on now is actually the 4th one (in 3 years).

The answer is perhaps more complicated than that even. I own a V1 trimmer, leaf blower, and hedge trimmer. I had 1 4ah battery that came with the trimmer that I used with all three. Worked awesome for a season and a half. Then one day the battery just stopped working. In reading reviews of this battery, this is very very common. Fine. I'll buy a new battery. Except Greenworks is a scam. They discontinued the old battery and came out with new batteries that are not compatible with the devices other than the GMax. Which is relatively new. So not only am I out a battery, but I'm out three devices. None of them will work with the new battery. Hundreds of dollars just gone. The answer is perhaps more complicated than that even.

My first wouldn't go together either. Amazon sent me a replacement. My second wouldn't hold a charge. Toro then sent me a replacement. I'm on my third and it's only been since May 2014 I started using it! I'm shopping for a back up trimmer....,

Good questions! I chose to NOT get the extended warrantee and to be honest I did not read the manufacture's warrentee. We have a tiny yard so it does not get much work. Sorry, guess I can't answer your questions. I love the mower and have had no trouble with it!
