5.0 out of 5 stars Much easier than string trimmer, March 21, 2010

For those of us that find a string trimmer too violent and destructive, this is a good alternative. Very easy to handle. Like a lightweight vacuum, all the weight is down on the wheels and its easy on the back. Did I say easy on the back? I am 6'5" and bending over a conventional trimmer is too painful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth every penny! Much cleaner than a Weed Wacker..., June 26, 2011

This review is from: Gardena 8830 8-Inch Lithium-Ion Cordless Grass Trimmer/Edger With Telescopic Handle (Lawn & Patio)

I really had reservations about paying this much for this product. I was concerned it wouldn't be heavy duty enough. Well it is great for tall weeds and getting around small trees that might otherwise be damaged by a Weed Wacker. Very easy to keep clean and doesn't make the mess that a weed wacker does. It doesn't throw that green spray that a Weed Wacker would on the white paint of my house or my legs. You don't need googles and hearing protection for this thing because it hardly makes any noise at all. Plus it is light weight and well balanced which makes it more like using a vacuum cleaner than a Weed Wacker. No breaking your back trying to start the thing just push the trigger. No mixing 4 dollar a gallon gas with two cycle oil. And a spray with the garden hose makes the thing clean enough to store in the house with no nasty gasoline smell. Blades are razor sharp as are most German steel knives. Beats my 3 year old 4 cycle Ryobi $200 weed wacker that won't start hands down. Also it is great for mowing around my bee hives. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it, November 25, 2010

It works fine with the exception that the long handle could be more stable as it tends to turn in its mount. But it is not worth spending $200 for it. Get a Black & decker for $45. instead.
