 Earthwise 15 Inch String Trimmer July 10, 2009

Outstanding twin cord trimmer with lots of power, makes mulch of tall grass and weeds. It was purchased to replace a 18V battery operated trimmer that would not last very long on a charge, even with two batteries and a hi-power charger most of the time it petered out before finishing around our house which sits on a small 60 x 80 lot. The disadvantage of using an extention cord is quickly offset by the power and ease of use of this trimmer. I highlt recommend it, good quality at a low price.
Good compromise of power and functionality June 9, 2010

I bought this trimmer after my toro trimmer broke. It was a good thing that the old trimmer broke because I didn't know how much I was missing. After reading all the reviews online, I ended up with the Earthwise trimmer. I agree with a lot of the reviewers. I like the power it has to cut through thick grass. I also like the semi-automatic line feeder rather than the fully automatic. Automatic line feeders have tendency to waste trim line, this one doesn't have that problem. Every time the trimmer winds down, it feeds the line forward just by an inch. This is a very nice feature and good balance between fully automatic and bumping the trimmer head. I was able to trim my yard much faster than before because the line didn't break at all. Remember that the line is forwarded every time you stop, that feeds just enough line that I never had to stop to reset the line. Good trimmer and good price overall

This weed-eater has power and is light to carry around. The product is durable and easy to use. I like how easily the string is replaced and or change your cutting angle.
Very good value. Motor overpowers cheap trimmer line. March 16, 2010

The first thing to do is replace the supplied round nylon line with a "commercial grade" bladed type. Otherwise, you'll get frustrated with constant breakage on dense weeds. If you wind the line evenly the auto-feed should work with few hitches. You have to stop and restart the motor to advance the line 1/4" at a time.
Because of the heavy motor, this trimmer is like holding a handful of golf drivers, but the balance is decent. It runs at high RPM with strong torque and should cut all but the stringiest weed-type growth. I was able to clear 1,500 sq. ft. of 2-foot "hill grass" that would have stalled many gas lawnmowers at high clearance. But even the best line will start breaking if weeds are too dense or cuttings keep piling up in its path.
An extension cord requires planning your cutting path, but isn't hard to get used to. A 100-foot 10-amp. cord did the job. It's nice to not breathe fumes or annoy neighbors with a 2-stroke engine. This model is impressive in situations where a gas trimmer would be overkill.

I'm using this to cut grass in places where the lawn mower can't fit. It works fine. It has a lot of power. It has a nice sound. It looks nice. I like the green plastic parts. It's well built. The string is plenty strong enough for grass. It hasn't broken. I never heard of this brand before, but it's good. I like it a lot. The motor is a little heavy, but nothing serious. It was easy to screw on the black plastic guard. The screws did fall into the white plastic motor housing several times but I was able to easily shake them out. It only took me a few minutes to screw in the 4 screws. I didn't bother reading the safety instructions or any of that junk. I didn't wear safety goggles either. I whacked a lot of grass. It didn't really put any significant wear on the string. I did not find it inconvenient to use a cord with this whacker. After I read about all the battery problems and weak power of the cordless models, I decided to get a corded one. I definitely made the right choice. I didn't have to wait to charge batteries, I was able to start whacking right away, I had a lot of power at a low low price, and I won't have to buy any $70 replacement batteries. I'm totally convinced this is much better than gas and cordless whackers. I also ordered "cyclone" brand 6 bladed blue commercial grade string, but it hasn't arrived in the mail yet.
