Overall Feedback:
97% positive
92% found it easy to carry
If I don't have a shoulder strap, I won't be able to use it for long stretches as I'm not a big person.
I find the string trimmer to be light weight with long lasting batteries and precise build quality.

94% liked the quiet operation
My mom used the string-trimmer all day and accomplished more than she ever has with a gas unit.
The string trimmer is powerful, quiet, and does not produce any stinky gas fumes. It also does not get hot.
I have experienced that the trimmer produces very little noise and there is no idling either.
97% found the multiple speed settings beneficial
The trimmer has plenty of power and its self-adjusting throttle saves battery life.
I like that the string trimmer has 3 different speed options to choose from.
I have not had to go beyond level 2 on power and the soft start motor is very smooth.
On the middle speed, the trimmer has plenty of power to cut through all types of weeds, thick grass, and even wild mountain blackberry and stinging nettles. The slowest speed is ideal for areas with gravel or small rocks.

90% highlighted the easy assembly
I assembled the Makita in about 15 minutes, charged and inserted the batteries, and put it to work. It was a great experience.
I found the fittings and fasteners easy to assemble and of high quality while putting the tool together.
The string trimmer is easy to assemble and use.
95% praised the impressive battery life, but 5% didn't praise
With each set of two batteries, I can get half an hour of time and it takes about an hour to charge them.
The battery life is amazing and equivalent to the run time I got from a tank of gas on my FS-240.
I ran the trimmer for 30 minutes and the battery meter showed 3 out of 4.
I used the trimmer on level 2 power setting and it lasted for about 40 minutes with half the battery life remaining.

96% found it easy to use, but 4% raised concerns
I found the weed eater easy to use.
I found the product so easy to use that my son purchased the same model for his home.
I, a 76 year old woman, found the product very easy to use.
I rated it four for ease of use and mentioned that adding new string could be easier, but it's a common issue with most string trimmers.
