GreenWorks 80v String Trimmer Review 2024

Greenworks PRO ST80L210 Cordless String Trimmer

Highlights

First and foremost, consider the features of the string trimmer before choosing it. You won’t find a better string trimmer than the GreenWorks one.

Powerful 80V Battery

A lithium-ion battery capable of delivering 2 amps powers this weed eater. The engine can generate a lot of power and run for a long time, so it has the ability to compete with gas-powered trimmers. You’ll be fully prepared with this bad boy when you have a second battery in the charger.

If you’re cutting light materials, this battery will last 45 minutes. Brush hogs prefer dense vegetation to stray grass because they can run further.

Accessibility

The trimmer can be attached to a variety of weed-eating attachments. It’s now possible to change up what you eat instead of just eating weed in one shot!

Size of the string

If you have a powerful battery spinning, you can make a nice, clean cut with a string size of 0.080. As it offers two lines instead of just one, you will be able to finish your work quickly and easily.

Weighing

This lawn trimmer weighs just under 10 pounds, so it’s not only great for cutting the grass but also for your back!

Clean as a whistle

This is by far the cleanest style of weed whacker; there is no gas to mix or oil to change, and there are no emissions! Plug it in and start mowing!

What We Like

  • Trimming tough grass is easy with this trimmer, as it is extremely powerful.
  • Customers living in grassland areas will benefit from the powerful 80-volt lithium-ion battery.

  • A full 45 minutes of use is possible before the trimmer needs to be recharged.
  • Compared to a gas-powered version, this cordless one requires less maintenance.
  • Only weighs 10 pounds.

What We Don’t Like

  • The battery and charger of this trimmer have been cited as problems by some customers.
  • You can use a 10 lb weight on your back, but it may bounce better if the scrub is thicker.

FAQs on GreenWorks Pro ST80L210 Review

Do string trimmers powered by batteries work well?

There are many string trimmers available on the market, but the GreenWorks Pro ST80L210 is a popular choice.

If you want to do weed eating in your typical suburban yard, you will most likely be able to use a battery-powered weed eater. In cases where your lawnmowers won’t reach tricky spots and you have to hack everything down by hand, or if you have a large lot (think of country lots instead of typical neighborhood lots), you might want to look elsewhere.

If you are replacing a gas-powered trimmer with a battery-powered one, can you trim your entire lawn in an hour or two? This trimmer can run on a 2-battery system for 45 minutes before requiring a change of batteries. Waiting for batteries to charge might be too frustrating if you usually trim your lawn for 3–4 hours with a gas trimmer.

The cordless string trimmer is the best tool for cutting grass quickly and effectively.

A GreenWorks string trimmer: how do you use it?

String trimmers are easy to use. Get in position, snap in the battery, and pull the trigger!

Don’t bury the head too deeply into the grass as you trim it, so you won’t get it tangled up and snagged. Use the tips of the strings to cut and you’ll be cruising away!

Does this string trimmer work with brush-cutting blades?

Certainly. The brush cutter attachment can be interchanged for the string, and it is compatible with many attachments!

Conclusion

This cordless trimmer has an 80-volt battery that lets you trim even the toughest weeds and grass in your yard.

Young and old will both enjoy this cordless trimmer due to its lightweight and ease of use.

A gas-powered machine would struggle to complete challenging tasks with its 80-volt battery. With this cutting-edge line, you should recharge the battery after 45 minutes of use. Consider this cordless trimmer if you need a powerful trimmer.

Keeping yards weed-free and clean is made easy with the GreenWorks Pro ST80L210 80V Cordless String Trimmer.
