Greenworks 40V 8" Brushless Edger

Greetings. Last year I purchased a Ryobi 40v weed eater that costs north of $200. Despite being a Ryobi fan I was never satisfied with that machine. I was very disappointed and felt like I wasted my money. Last week I went online and researched the best, budget level, weed eaters for smaller yards to service. This particular model showed up on several lists. I was somewhat taken aback because of the price tag of a little over $100 which includes the charger and battery. Honestly, I was worried that this was a cheap product. I am happy to report that I am extremely satisfied with this Greenworks 40V 12" Cordless String Trimmer. I actually think this trimmer is more powerful than the Ryobi model which cost me twice as much. The automatic line feed works great. This is also bit more lightweight than my previous weed eater. The unit is very easy to assemble in just a couple of minutes. I also love the fact that you can edge with this model. It has a small metal bar that you can flip forward and then rotate how you hold the trimmer and you now have a very capable edger. It's not a quiet trimmer but the noise level is normal in my opinion. Lastly, it seems sufficiently sturdy and built to last for quite a while. Amazon also sells the replacement spools of line. I also purchased a six pack of replacement line spools that should carry me through the summer. If you have a small yard or area to maintain and are on a budget then I think you will be pleasantly surprised with this model trimmer.
