1. It won't take any ol line, even if it's the right diameter. I had to buy their stuff.
2. If you like to turn your trimmer sideways to edge, forget about it. The guard is required and in the way keeping you from seeing where your line is.
3. It wastes line like crazy. I have one foot sections of line laying around the yard because the powerload keeps randomly "adjusting".
Those are the cons. Other than that, it's quiet, powerful, kinda light, and gets the job done. I just wish they would have put some thought into real world use.
I ended up buying the edger since I couldn't turn the trimmer sideways like my Husqvarna gas. The edger actually works really well and I'm glad I got it. I shouldn't have had to get it, but I don't regret it.
On another note, I do like this battery system better than the 40v Ryobi but man it's big and heavy.

Same model for $270, and did local curb side pick up. Will be testing the trimmer out today.
