Absolutely love this tool. A little heavier than ideal but not a huge deal because it’s got a lot of power and super convenient

I keep purchasing Milwaukee tools and every time I buy a new one I am shocked about how good it is I don’t know why because they’re all great tools but it’s funny how they keep finding ways to improve from other people’s mistakes! I love when we need her very easy to get the line out of the spool. It’s much longer than my previous weedeater which caused me to have to bend over and really hurt my back so I like the length of this one. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new weedeater.

Battery life is great. I can tackle my .5 acre lot with ease. The auto feed string system works flawlessly.

It’s very nice not having to pull the start cord. Power is comparable to a gas powered one.

Works better than expected

Have not used the polesaw yet, but the weedwacker is the tops!

I use this combo every weekend. Borther in law used it once when his gasser was in the shop. He bought one. Get it!!

Easy assembly. Works well. I need to buy new batteries. My newest one has good use time. The real test will be can I reload the string.

Exceeded my expectations by 100%. Easy to use battery last and no gas or mixing. Cleans up easy and stores right after use no waiting for cooling. Enjoined cutting my grass for a change. But purchase the sling it does helps out.

Very nice tool, it definitely beats constantly messing with the gas powered trimmer. The ability to swap out the edger is great too.
Porter Johns (verified owner) –
So far so good …. the 8ah battery last abouth 1 hour on normal use…and about 40 minutes in very hot day… power better than expected

1st I’m a pro lawn guy. I use echo weedeaters and although they are tough they are finiky- carburators, fuel and air filters, oil to gas ratios jeez Louise I have more important things to do. This Milwaukee trimmer has really simplified my operation. Battery life is decent but I always have another on the charger in my truck. It’s powerful and make short work of edging and weed whacking. I really like that the drive motor is not on the head of the trimmer and that once I pull the trigger there is no lag in operation. They are a bit pricey but I plan on introducing another one into my business this coming season. You guys and gals who do your own lawn- buy it,to the pros out there you can’t go wrong- buy an additional battery.

Battery lasts at least an hour with heavy use of string trimmer. Pole saw attachment also works great. Another great product from big red.
Lloyd Gleichner (verified owner) –
It performs exactly as you expect of all your Milwaukee tools. Flawless

Disregard my previous review about receiving a standard charger instead of a rapid charger with the string trimmer kit. There was a mix up, I did receive the rapid charger. My apologies for any trouble I may have caused.
Kurtis Larkin (verified owner) –
Easy to assemble and variable speed is a good choice
Carmela Kohler (verified owner) –
I’m impressed with power but I’m having trouble with the string feeder. The string sticks and I have to manually help it, otherwise I highly recommend.

The trimmer was easy to assemble and it works great!
