From the Manufacturer

The GreenWorks products that you purchase have a ZERO carbon footprint. We'll say that again - our entire product line will never release an ounce of carbon emission into the air. 4 Year Warranty - Double The Industry Standard. When looking for lawn tools, we know you're thinking about quality. You're looking for something that will get the job done and get you back to your weekend. That's why GreenWorks backs every tool with a full four-year warranty - we know our products will perform at the highest level and always be reliable. GreenWorks high quality products are manufactured to last. That's why we back every product with a warranty that's twice the industry standard. We'll provide all the power you need without polluting the air or forcing you to keep hauling your gas can to the nearest station (especially in the middle of a mow). No more tune-ups or maintenance. No more emissions. Fifty-four million Americans mow their lawns every weekend, according to the EPA, using 800 million gallons of gas each year. Along the way, homeowners spill more than 17 million gallons of gas while refueling. That's equivalent to the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster. It's time to move beyond clumsy, harmful gas-powered mowers. It's time for GreenWorks to be your lawn tools for life. Power cord not included.

904 customers mention598 positive306 negative

Customers are mixed about the quality of the string trimmer. Some mention that the strength of trimming/edging is significant, the double string is very durable, and does one heck of a job on even tall weeds. However, others say that the line seems to be weak and breaks off more frequently than past trimmers. The spline broke requiring re threading, and the handle is cheaply made of plastic.

"...Line snags are minimal, and most of the time are the result of tangles created by me when twining the line. What a workhorse this little trimmer is!..." Read more

"...The fact that the trimmer has TWO trim lines is also very important because the string lasts longer and the two lines cut about twice as fast...." Read more

"...This would be 5 stars but one of the trimmers died after only about 10 hours of HARD use (over 1/2 acre of tall weeds). KEEP READING...." Read more

"...This Greenworks model is quality made, works very well, and is one of the only real choices for a smaller unit that still has some respectable..." Read more

201 customers mention86 positive115 negative

Customers are mixed about the fit of the string trimmer. Some mention that the size is very good, small, and easy to use, while others say that it needs to be longer.

"...It was too large and too heavy and bulky for my yard where I have a lot of fences and landscaping rocks to trim around...." Read more

"...But it is the perfect length for me and so easy to adjust the length longer or shorter, depending upon what I'm cutting...." Read more

"...The second, the overall length of the trimmer is fairly short and I'm not a tall individual, 5'10 or so...." Read more

"Good for small yard" Read more

233 customers mention47 positive186 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the string quality of the trimmer. They mention that the string keeps getting long and gets tangled up. The advance mechanism makes it easy to waste the string prematurely. The head is super sensitive and sometimes puts out more string than you need. The trimmer constantly feeds additional string that is not needed. Customers also report that the line gets worn away rapidly.

"...that even though the shaft on this thing is adjustable, it really doesn't get very long...." Read more

"...no matter how well I wind it... when I run it the 1st time... it runs out long and wraps around the spool getting caught...." Read more

"...Next step: check the manufacturer's website. Whoops, no replacement string there, either...." Read more

"...trimmer has TWO trim lines is also very important because the string lasts longer and the two lines cut about twice as fast...." Read more

5 Stars
They would have earned 1 star, but with this simple and cheap hack I love these trimmers
Folks, I have had both the 21212 and 21272 trimmers for couple of years. And I have hated both... Both suffer from the same simple problem: neither of them properly release lines. Yes, I have tried to put the .065 lines so many different ways (tighter, loser etc.), but no avail. As a result, my trimming/edging job took 5x times, I had to stop every 10 feet to manually advance the line. And if I got lucky and the line advanced properly then the spool got used up within couple of minutes of edging/trimming.I was about to throw (give) them away, until recently I thought of a hack. I had .105 flexible line for my 10 Amp trimmer (what I use for brush trimming in the back of the property). Here is the Amazon link to it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MD2APKS/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I1VJGKJ7IL94BT&colid=1U1YPGUS14IF8 I find this particular line more appropriate, it is softer material and it has the triangular shape to it and as a result I get a very thin blade like cutting path. Rigid, round shaped generic lines will produce a wider cutting path because of the inflexible, rigid curved lines.Here are the simple steps I took:1. Measured and pre cut lines.2. Took the empty spool out.3. Threaded the .105 line through the first hole. Note: 21272 needed a little of widening of the holes the 21212 had already wide enough holes.4. Tied a simple bow/nut on the stem.5. Threaded the line through the second hole.6. Evened out the line to make sure it is symmetric and the bow is in the middle7. Removed (unscrewed) the line cutting blade. There is no need for it on a fixed line and I get another half of inch line length..8. Put the cap backTake a look at the pictures.I did a full edging job with both and I cannot be happier. Of course, each line only lasts until you wear it down, but it only took me 1 minute to put in my own pre-cut lines to get going. I created my lines by simply cutting them to the right length. I measured about 10-15 full minute (about 400 feet of edging) continues run before I needed to replace the line (wore it down).Can you imagine your $30-$40 trimmer working with a .105 line? Can you imagine what output, efficiency and trimming/edging speed you get? Simply amazing... The difference in ease, speed and strength of trimming/edging is significant. And there is significantly less line needed. I can see the $12 200 feet .105 line package lasting me for a year, while I needed to buy the .065 packs monthly.These trimmers would have earned a 1 star otherwise, but with this hack I am giving both a 5 star. You cannot beat the ease of use, strength and speed at these price points. Disclaimer: I am sure the manufacturer would advise against this hack, so please use it at your own risk. On that note, I know the manufacturers have to sell ready made spools and lines (they make money on them), which this hack would eliminate both. I still think they should look into providing this as an option, they would make a lot more happy customers.One more thing. The 4 Amp 21212 trimmer is more challenging to do edging with, the wheels on the 5.5 Amp 21272 make my edging job much faster and easier. Both of them do very well for weed eating, it is difficult to notice more power from the 21272, they feel spinning at similar RPMs. With this hack both of these trimmers will do very well for their intended use.

Adquirí la desbrozadora greenworks 21212 y la calidad es muy mala al menos en este modelo, en el video se podrá apreciar el desempeño, la compare con una de la marca worx y es muy clara la comparación en el video., busque asesoría con greenworks México y no manejan este modelo, así que la desarme encontrando daños en el interior y por los daños pienso que es defecto de fabricación.
