74% liked the quiet operation
I am happy that I don't have to deal with 2-stroke engines, noise, or 100 cords while using this string-trimmer.
68% found the multiple speed settings beneficial, but 32% didn't
Battery life varies depending on the speed control option I use.
I use a mix of setting 1 and setting 2 for higher speed. It's for upkeep around the yard so I can carry it on the riding mower and not have to use a pull start gas trimmer.
When I use the power setting, the trimmer has the perfect balance between cutting torque and string durability.
I have not used the wire feed button yet because it has been feeding on its own and seems to be doing a good job at that.

88% highlighted the easy assembly, but 12% didn't
I assembled the string trimmer in less than 15 minutes.
I faced an issue while assembling the string guard. The tabs were not flush with the housing, which resulted in one breaking off and the other bent. However, the user mentioned that the assembly of the string guard was simple.
78% praised the impressive battery life, but 22% didn't praise
I found that the battery held its charge through heavy cutting and 20 minutes of use.
I believe the battery lasting for 30 minutes is reasonable.
If I use the low speed control option, the battery life will last for approximately 25 minutes and 15 minutes if I use high speed.
I got 15 minutes of usage time with an old battery and 25 minutes of usage time with a new battery, which shows that the battery life of the trimmer is good.

84% found it easy to use, but 16% raised concerns
The edging option takes some getting used to as the wheel moves freely and there's no guide to keep the unit on the edge of the driveway like the B&D Grasshog.
The trimmer is lightweight, powerful and easy to work with. It also has buttons for extra string in an easy to reach location on the handle.
I thought I would like the Easyfeed feature, but found that without attaching the guard, the line still advances. However, I have to cut the line several times because it gets too long without the guard.
