I bought this to replace an ancient Black and Decker that no longer fed the line correctly. I used the new Greenworks today on some thick, wet weeds, and it worked fine. The line feed worked perfectly. I'm surprised that some reviewers criticized the line feed. It works for me.

La desbrozadora es muy buena, tiene buena potencia y funciona bien en general. El motivo de quitar una estrella en la calificación es porque el producto que recibí venía con el plástico donde se ensambla el protector y el mango donde está el interruptor de encendido venían dañados. La desbrozadora viene desarmada, doblada por la mitad en una caja, lo que ocasiona que al no tener un buen embajale y protección por parte de la marca Greenworks, los plásticos al interior de la caja se rozen durante el transporte y sufran desperfectos como en mi caso. Es algo tan simple de solucionar que me parece increíble que empaquen sus productos de esa forma. Afortunadamente el daño era menor y no afecta el funcionamiento de la desbrozadora y es sólo estético. Anexo fotos de la desbrozadora para visualizar las dos partes plásticas que sufrieron daño debido al mal empaque de fabrica, ya que la caja al exterior venía sin daño alguno por parte del transportista.
Muy buen producto

Ya llevo medio año que la compré, ha resultado buena, no se calienta y hace muy bien su trabajo, la utilizo para cortar los césped de mi casa. Todo bien hasta el momento, es ideal para mi situación, he ahorrado mucho desde que la tengo. La recomiendo ampliamente.

Used it to cut my overgrown medium sized backyard . Works well for its intended purpose. Lightweight enough and edges really well too! Definitely recommended. However, I had to return my first one because apparently there is a manufacturer's defect which causes the fuse to burn and unit stops working which is what happened to me the first time . Otherwise works like a charm!

The corded trimmer works fine but the cutting line is terrible. The line gets caught in itself and will not extend out as it is supposed to. You have to keep taking the reel off and untangling the line, which is very time consuming and frustrating. All of the replacement reels ordered are the same way, they are just not wound around the reel properly. Would not purchase or would not recommend purchasing this trimmer. I am going to fight with it for the season because i have purchased so many replacement reels, then dump it and get another trimmer that I have researched for and should be a lot better. I tried the replacement head with the blades on it, but the head busted the first time using it, that was no good either.They need to update or do some more research on their line feed and replacement reels.After many attempts to try to get this trimmer to work it is insanely annoying and i wound up throwing it out and all of the extra line that i purchased for it. DON'T BUY THIS TRIMMER, GET A MUCH BETTER ONE AT HOME DEPOT OR LOWES WITH BETTER CONTROL ON THE LINE, AND STRONGER LINE, THIS LINE THAT COMES WITH IT IS TOO WEAK TO WITHSTAND ANY OBSTACLES THAT YOU HAVE TO CUT AROUND.

I love this thing. It works very well and the auto feed is great. Only issue is that its very unweildy for a smaller woman like me and it's really quite heavy and diffiulct to handle if you're short. Besides that it's great.

I switched to this trimmer after using a gas trimmer for many years. It is just as powerful as the gas one if not more so and I like that. After reading the reviews and all the complaints about the trimmer line not being very good I thought to myself “No problem, I’ll just string it myself and not use the line it came with once I use that up.” Well, the line it came with went very quickly and was terrible as expected. I bought my own line and restrung the spools using the same gauge, buying the refills will bankrupt you, don’t do it. However, the recommended gauge of line is thin and no matter what you will go through them quickly just at a slower pace than the original reels. If you can handle doing that than this is a really good trimmer for the price. I’m sure I can experiment with different line and get a better result over time.

Had this long enough to have used it plenty now. Wanted to try it out more than once or twice to really review it. I had trouble at first getting the head to twist to the side or back. Also had trouble getting the line spool out. But after using it more, these things got easier & are no problem now. They were just very new & still at first & I have hand/arm strength problems anyway. So if you get this, don't be so fast to send it back!! I almost did that, but now I love it, have no problem with the twisting parts moving like I want, & the adjustable length is a godsend. I read a lot of reviews for many trimmers & it seems to be a repeating problem that auto line feeds don't let the string out or let it all out. I have to say I've had NO PROBLEM at all with the line feed at all. In fact this is the only trimmer I've ever used that I can say that about!! It was very heavy for me at first, until I pushed the handle as short as it would go, & that balanced the weight for me so it was easy to use. I'm an older woman w/ arm weakness, & If I can get it to where I can use it easily, any woman should be able to do the same without much of an issue with the trimmer weight. This trimmer works well, stays plugged in tightly, has nice features that make cutting in different situations easy (I use it turned sideways along fences for climbing vines quite often), & feeds the line at just the right rate to not use up a whole spool in a single use. I do recommend buying a spare line spool to keep ready for a fast switch tho. I rewind them myself using .065 round line. The dual line feed spool isn't hard to rewind at all. This 15" GreenWorks Corded Trimmer is one of the best buys I made this year, & for sure the best trimmer I've ever used--frustration free.

OK, for all of those who give this a bad review, all I have to say is picky, picky, picky AND you all complain too much! I had a VERY old Toro trimmer, about 20 yrs. I'd say, and I didn't have all the bells and whistles on it. It had LONG ago stopped feeding the line when you tap it and I had to do that on my own. I fixed that by getting stronger line that would last through all the tough spots that usually tore the line apart, and stringing it MYSELF, so STOP complaining about silly things, if you can't find replacement string you can do it yourself, it's NOT rocket science!First of all, after coming from an OLD trimmer that no longer would auto-string (or should I say BUMP string), it was GREAT having one that did it without me even knowing it. Second, this trimmer has POWER compared to my old one, BOY does it; got to be careful though cause it REALLY kicks up. My other one did too but this one is MUCH MORE powerful, and the edger on it (which my old Toro did not have) sure can edge deep into the ground; LIKE THAT LOTS, IT'S COOL!!So far I LOVE it including the color. Only thing is I am a small female and not as strong as I use to be, so the trimmer feels heavy (compared to what my old Toro did), BUT in all fairness it's a bigger motor, I'll get used to it!Well, I am one who would say that it's worth buying cause the price is VERY reasonable for it's quality!One thing else; I don't know what all this thing about gas trimmers versus electric and not having the power the gas one has. I have friends with gas trimmers, and as they are great for extremely large yards that you can't drag electric cords far distance, I have never known any of my friends to be THAT enthusiastic about them. They tell me they're heavy and somewhat picky about starting. As far as power goes, this one is powerful enough, FOR SURE NO PROBLEM THERE!!
