Kenneth L Coulson 4 I’ve owned it for just two a month now and I have really used it and I’ve gotten all the weeds whacked, cut my grass that I’ve put off doing. Using my gas trimmer is exhausting. You must check the fuel add fuel if needed and then spend the time it takes pulling on the starter rope to start it. Use it for 25-30 minutes refill with fuel and start over. All I do now is take it off the shelf and plug in the battery and start working wIth in 1.5 minutes and cut just shy of an hour. A dead battery is no problem put the used battery on th charger and use a charged battery from another 40V gardening tool I have from Greenworks.
