A very nice light weight weedwacker. Cordless design works well for me because my yard is spread out. Having two chargeable batteries means you can always switch to the backup if your battery runs low. Auto string feed is also very handy. Overall an excellent choice.

This is the second summer I'm using my grass hog. If you understand it's limits - it is an outstanding product. It is not powerful. It won't cut heavy brush or branches. Battery life is about 15-20 minutes. I suggest buying an extra charger so two batteries are always charged. My home is on a corner lot and it takes both batteries to do the trimming.
I am very happy to have the grass hog. Not having to drag a cord around more than compensates for its low power. It is reliable and starts easily. It is lightweight and is suitable for somebody that is elderly. You can buy ... Read More

I purchased this for keeping the grass around my house and fence trimmed and am very satisfied. Granted, the batteries don't hold up to lots of heavy trimming, but for a normal trim (which for me is grass and some weeds around the entire house plus both sides of about 320ft of fencing) the 2 batteries are just enough when fully charged. It can definitely handle much thicker weeds and such, but don't expect the batteries to last too long under those circumstances. So I think the recommendation really comes down to your use. If you're just using it to keep the grass and small weeds around the house ... Read More
Rating: - Works Great, until battery dies
This is a powerful effective weed wacker, that my wife loves. I use a heavier gasoline powered unit that she can not heft. The only problem is operating time - probably between 20 minutes to 30 minutes per battery. I bought the fast charger, which seems to take a good hour or more to charge. But two charged batteries last as long as my wife lasts at weed wacking, so on the whole it is a fine unit. But this is based on perhaps 10 uses, over a 2 week period, still on the first roll of cutting line.
Durability and reliability are presently unknown quantities.

I have owned this trimmer for about 2 months and here is the scoop....I will never again use a gas or electric corded unit.....This trimmer is lightweight....Instant start.....quiet......and with the 2 batteries... you have enough juice to last about 40 minutes which should do the job for most yards...The edger is also easy to change over and the only regret I have is not buring this trimmer sooner......Perfect!!!!
