5 lbs range wired.
This one is an example of the lighter trimmers out vs a gallon of milk/water at 8lbs.
The trimmer on sale is 6lbs, then add the weight of whatever battery you attach. (1/2lbs-1lbs)
So take a gallon of water, dump out 1/5 to 1/4, and hold that in your hand as you walk around for a few minutes.
There are even lighter.
e.g. 4lbs + whatever battery. (About half gallon of water)

..
Also, keep in mind length (some trimmers have adjustable length). If you're short and buy a long trimmer, it'll be so awkward trying to find a good grip and to balance the long trimmer as you cut.
The Homelite has an adjustable length.
The Ryobi is short.
Both fine for 5' 6" or shorter users.
(Tall men have the opposite problem. Short trimmers and they'll be hunched over.)
..
Both ryobi and this sale use 1 0.065" line to cut on the spinning head. Homelite uses 2 0.065" lines.
Obviously, 2 cutting lines will chew thru heavy grass faster than 1, so don't expect a speedy trim of a large garden on a 1 line trimmer. It'll never be as powerful and fast as those gas powered, 0.095" dual line trimmers.
....
To estimate trimmer runtimes.
Take the mAh rating of the battery.
Divide by 2, times 10 = approximate real life heavier grass runtimes.
Eg 2mAh / 2 x 10 = 10 minutes for this sale trimmer in heavy grass.
It'll run double that on light grass.
