This review is from: Greenworks 21052 15-Inch 5.5 Amp Electric String Trimmer/Edger With Pivoting Head & Telescoping Handle (Lawn & Patio)
I have a small yard. This trimmer/edger works fine with a couple of exceptions: first it is head heavy and secondly, the left hand handle is not much use. The timmer works fine, but I have to hold the shaft itself, the handle leaves the head too heavy to use and I am not a weak person. As with most electric trimmers the head is heavy as everything is located there. In a gas model the weight is distributed at both ends with the trimmer itself at the ground and the engine at the top. On the plus side, it is quieter than gas, starts instantly, goes off instantly, and has plenty of power. On the negative side is the electric cord. I bought this model to go with my electric mower. The lack of gase and oil and difficult starting out weight the negatives. There is only one screw involved in assembly. I can't comment on changing the cord as I haven't done it yet. I did buy extra spools. The double lines are very effective. By the time I finished, I had just about mastered using the trimmer and edger. My rating of four is because it is a bit awkward to handle because of the heavy head. As a midrange inexpensive trimmer it is more than satisfactory. If I had a lot of trimming, I would have tried a gas model again,but I was worn out on starting the Craftsman gas edger I had to say nothing about the noise.
Update May 27 -- After fooling around with the adjustments regarding the head and the shaft, I found a position that that makes using the trimmer much easier both for holding and for trimming. This has made the trimmer much easier to use as it is easier to handle and easier to maintain a constant line while trimming and edging. As a result I have raised my rating. The double lines really can chew up the grass when you need to edge. Update July 18 -- Although I am happy with the edger, it uses line at a fast rate. I have used the original line spool as well as the three spools that come in the prefilled replacement spool package (three spools per package for $17.) The problem now is the replacement spools are on back ordere. Greenworks 29242 3-Pack Replacement Trimmer Line Spool for 21052 and 21212. I presume I can reload the spools with other line of the same diameter. I line replacement is going to be a problem, I will lower my rating.

Solid trimmer / edger at a good price,

This review is from: Greenworks 21052 15-Inch 5.5 Amp Electric String Trimmer/Edger With Pivoting Head & Telescoping Handle (Lawn & Patio)
This is the first electric trimmer I've owned and I'm very pleased with it. It has plenty of power and works great as an edger too. I hadn't edged my sidewalks in the 5 years I've lived there but this trimmer busted right through the overhang. It is fairly lightweight and the ability to fold the head and handle makes it really easy to store in the garage. The edging guide works ok but it still requires you to pay close attention as you can't simply drag it along the edge of the pavement. The autofeed line gave me a few problems initially but I think it might just have been an issue with having a new spool. Don't mess with the Black and Decker (read the reviews) and get this trimmer from Amazon (I don't think Lowes / Home Depot carries it).

This review is from: Greenworks 21052 15-Inch 5.5 Amp Electric String Trimmer/Edger With Pivoting Head & Telescoping Handle (Lawn & Patio)
As with most small appliances, when they work they are great but if they are fussy you want to sling them against a wall. I don't like fooling with gas or mixes for convenience and environmental reasons. I don't use a trimmer enough to have it sit with gas in it or have to worry about "old" gas or "winterizing" as well as all the other ills which befall small gas engines. I wanted corded without the hassle of recharging a battery and this is one of the few available. I don't to a large enough area to go beyond the end of a cord anyway.
BUT.. this one is fussy about string advance and I have had to do it manually a number of times. The rectangular black button at the inside edge of the spool controls this function but is not identified in the owner's manual. String advance is mistakenly keyed to the "spool retainer" on the trouble shooting page saying in part "while pushing down on the spool retainer" Since this design has eliminated the "bump to advance" feature, this spool retainer does not move at all. Having had pretty good luck with the Weed Eater brand in the past, I was not expecting the spool to be an issue.. but because it is bigger and broader than what I am used to .. getting the spool in and out can be a challenge unless you have a broad handspan and a good grip if you follow the instructions. They state "Push tabs on both sides" and then "pull up to remove" It implies that you have to push in the two tabs at the same time while pulling up which is difficult if you have an average or smaller hand .. You can push on one tab and get it up just enough to clear under the outside of the spool and then get the other side loose without the first one sliding back into place. but it takes practice.
