This trimmer is awesome. I use to have a black and decker 18v trimmer years ago until the batteries died. I figured it was time to get a “real” trimmer. So I bought a craftsman, 4 cycle, fancy attachment capable, few hundred dollar trimmer. I liked that one for about the first year and then I hated it. It was huge, heavy and way too problematic. It just seemed like I was always fixing the damn thing. I kept putting up with it mostly because of the money I spent on it. Well this spring I got out the craftsman trimmer and sure enough the pull start mechanism breaks on the first pull. That was it! I went on amazon found the worx revolution for a great price and didn’t even hesitate.
Now as far as some of the negative reviews of this and other models I really don’t understand why some people feel they must compare the worx to a commercial gas trimmer and then leave a negative review. Unless it’s defective, that’s another story. But this is an ELECTRIC trimmer! Mostly I see people complain about the power and battery life. It’s not a gas trimmer that’s going to send grass flying into your neighbors yard across the street. But believe me it’s got plenty of power to cut grass! I just received my trimmer today and I wanted to test this thing. After charging the battery I cut down grass on a hill that was 10 inches and taller in some places. The worx revolution went right through it.
And as for battery life, I watched a video review saying one battery ONLY lasted 25ish minutes, like that was a bad thing. I have one acre of land with grass on all sides, flower beds, gardens, block walls etc. 25 minutes was plenty of time to get all that done. And this came with 2 batteries. I couldn’t be happier.
Moral to the story, if you’re a commercial landscaper or someone with hundreds of acres to trim then yeah, this is not for you. If you’re someone who just wants to trim GRASS around your home with a lightweight, battery operated, no gas mixing, quite trimmer. This is the one.
Plus all the user friendly features on this are so nice! I really like the adjustable length. I thought I would need it all the way extended but actually I didn’t. I was able to shorten the length so it was actually comfortable to use. Then I adjusted it again to trim the tall grass on the hill. This makes me realize how uncomfortable my old gas trimmer was. Even my wife likes this thing and if she’s willing to jump in and help with yard work because this thing is lightweight and easy to use, that’s even better!
