72% liked the quiet operation
The trimmer is gentle on me with severe tinnitus and works quietly.
The edger is lightweight and quiet.
I can use the trimmer early in the morning without disturbing my neighbors as it is so quiet. My son also heard only a low buzzing sound from inside the house and didn't know what it was until he saw me. Therefore, the trimmer operates quietly.
Even at high speed with headphones on, I could barely hear the machine as it is very quiet.
81% found the multiple speed settings beneficial
Speed level 2 is for thicker areas.
I mentioned that there are two options for speed/power and one can opt for less power/speed but gain battery longevity or choose the higher speed/power and sacrifice some longevity.
There are two options for speed/power - one can choose less power/speed for better battery longevity or sacrifice some longevity for higher speed/power.
For normal weeds and high grass, speed 1 is sufficient. However, speed 2 provides a power boost for tougher cutting tasks.
The selectable 2 speed power switch really helps with thicker weeds.
