Client Evaluations
I have a compact yard. This trimmer/edger operates fine with a couple of exceptions: very first it is head heavy and secondly, the left hand manage is not a lot 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 positioned there. In a gas model the weight is distributed at each ends with the trimmer itself at the ground and the engine at the top. On the plus side, it is quieter than gas, starts immediately, goes off instantly, and has plenty of power. On the unfavorable 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 1 screw involved in assembly. I can't comment on changing the cord as I haven't done it however. I did acquire additional spools. The double lines are especially productive. By the time I completed, I had just about mastered applying the trimmer and edger. My rating of 4 is considering that it is a bit awkward to handle because of the heavy head. As a midrange affordable trimmer it is a lot more than satisfactory. If I had a lot of trimming, I would have tried a gas model once more,but I was worn out on starting the Craftsman gas edger I had to say absolutely nothing about the noise.
Update May 27 -- After fooling around with the adjustments concerning the head and the shaft, I identified a position that that tends to make making use of the trimmer substantially easier both for holding and for trimming. This has produced the trimmer a lot less complicated to use as it is much easier to manage and less complicated to maintain a constant line while trimming and edging. As a outcome I have raised my rating. The double lines genuinely can chew up the grass when you need to have to edge.
Update July 18 -- Even though I am pleased with the edger, it utilizes line at a quickly rate. I have applied the original line spool as well as the three spools that come in the prefilled replacement spool package (3 spools per package for $17.) The predicament 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 very same diameter. I line replacement is going to be a trouble, I will lower my rating.
Update 3-21-12: Nevertheless going sturdy. I use bulk line and roll my own. Roll the top a single first. The origianl 3 pack makes for a fantastic supply of spools as well as a holder for the spools.
As with most little appliances, when they function they are excellent but if they are fussy you want to sling them against a wall. I don't like fooling with gas or mixes for convenience and environmental reasons. I don't use a trimmer sufficient to have it sit with gas in it or have to worry about "old" gas or "winterizing" as well as all the other ills which befall modest gas engines. I wanted corded devoid of the hassle of recharging a battery and this is a single of the handful of offered. I don't to a sizeable sufficient region to go beyond the end of a cord anyway.
BUT.. this one is fussy about string advance and I have had to do it manually a number of instances. The rectangular black button at the inside edge of the spool controls this function but is not identified in the owner's manual. String advance is mistakenly keyed to the "spool retainer" on the difficulty shooting page saying in portion "though pushing down on the spool retainer" Due to the fact this style has eliminated the "bump to advance" feature, this spool retainer does not move at all.
Having had quite superior luck with the Weed Eater brand in the past, I was not expecting the spool to be an issue.. but considering that it is bigger and broader than what I am utilised to .. getting the spool in and out can be a challenge unless you have a broad handspan and a great grip if you follow the instructions. They state "Push tabs on both sides" and then "pull up to get rid of" It implies that you have to push in the two tabs at the very same time though pulling up which is tough if you have an typical or smaller sized hand .. You can push on one tab and get it up just enough to clear below the outside of the spool and then get the other side loose without having the initial one sliding back into place. but it takes practice.
