I have one. It's awesome. I bought replacement strings on Amazon and generics extended battery. 2 years now going strong. No complaints. Even twists to do sidewalks edges. The head as well goes on angles. Def buy again.
I bought one about a month ago for $90. It works great for what it is. For under or around $100 it really is a good little trimmer. I don't think I would be happy with it at full price though (granted my gas trimmer is a commercial Stihl with thick line so I have high expectations for my trimmers.)
Pros: Very light weight and quiet. Extremely fast to get started and go (Typical of all battery powered equipment of course). For the size it does a decent job at trimming around things. It has just enough power for basic trimming, but that limited power makes it great for trimming around things with little risk of damaging that thing if you hit it. The battery has a good bit of power to get a lot done. You get free spools for life with this from Worx (however shipping makes it the same price on Amazon with Prime).
Cons: I have used it a couple of times to edge, it goes through a lot of string to edge (I cleared out a spool in two edgings, but I have a 500ft front plus 90 foot driveway to edge. The light power struggles to take out the thicker grass/dirt (But does great against the regular Fescue). It does feel very cheap, but for the price, it is within expectations.
I will say I got mine from Lowes for $90 and did get the $15 extended 3 warranty for it knowing that it was probably cheaper. But for this price, I would get it again so far. I have other Worx equipment and they have been great for nearly a decade now, so I like the company. Waiting for a deal on a 40v leaf blower to compliment my Gas Powered Back Pack and give me extra batteries for my chainsaws and Trimmer.

Is there a generic battery brand that's working well for you? I love the trimmer but always end up needing to recharge the battery.
20V / 2.0Ah
I would expect this to be pretty weak.
I had the non-edger model of this trimmer and it worked great for what it was meant to do. The .060 line is standard size for most trimming and I could trim around my entire property on a single charge (about 40 minutes) as long as I hadn't let the grass grow too long between trims.
It's not going to bush hog through dense grass that's a foot tall, but for 5-6" grass around a mailbox post, landscape edges, base of trees, utility poles, or foundation block, it is hard to beat at the sub-$100 price, especially since the batteries can be used across the Worx line.

I have had mine for 4yrs now. Its awesome. Just a standard yard 1/4 acre lot. One battery is more than enough to weed and edge. With the 2nd battery included I just keep it on charger so I always have one fully charged ready to go. Love that you don't have to swap devices or heads to go from one to another. Spools are easy to load and you can buy your own string and reload when you run out. Thinking of getting this because the price is great and I will regret it if mine dies
So uhh novice here...I have never used any gardening machine besides a lawn mower for a short time. I need some entry level gardening machines. Is this decent to try out then drop $$$ on the more expensive stuff?
Man, I bought the trimmer posted here back in may with one battery from lowes for the same price, lowes says they wont take it back used. one battery wasn't enough for my housem, plus its a weak trimmer.

Depends on your needs. If you don't have a huge yard and thick brush to weed through then this is perfect. The extra battery really is key. I always have the 2nd battery ready to go. But the first one last plenty for my yard. I've had this for 4yrs now
Have this trimmer for about 2 years now and recently upgraded to an ego String trimmer/edger recently some of my thoughts:
It would works pretty decent for a small lot or light use. It is overpowered and a bit on the lower end build quality, but is still working just fine. I have over a half acre which was a little much for it. Expect to go very slow or multiple passes when using the edging feature but those little wheels help nicely to keep you straight. Having two batteries is nice. The string seems to degrade quicker than what i am now used with the ego, and it uses disposable/refillable spools of string so that is kinda a negative.

For entry, this is fine.
65 string is thin, so if you hit concrete/bricks/thick grass, you'll go thru it fast (vs thicker 80/95).
Isn't a 40v+ , so the trade-off is a 10-15lbs trimmer that'll cut faster vs a 6-8 lbs 20v system that'll cut slower. You'll take multiple passes at edging and thicker grass than more powerful trimmers.
Ie. Don't expect to walk down a sidewalk edging at normal pace with a 65 trimmer.

Those who do yards for a living don't want slow, so they go fast and heavy.
My experience with this is far from what others are reporting. The auto feed mechanism regularly locks up when used correctly. This thing is awful trimming around fence posts. The spool is the smallest I have ever dealt with and the line breaks frequently, coupled with the poor feeding mechanism and a job that would normally take 15 minutes now takes 25 minutes. I bought this last month to replace an old Black and Decker that had battery issues and I'd rather be swapping batteries than dealing with spool issues and multiple passes to trim around fence posts.

Edit: According to Rufus (Amazon AI) it does; for whatever that's worth.
