Owned a couple gas trimmers, electric trimmers and 10 years ago bought a battery trimmer that would not run long enough to finish my yard.
Decided I to upgrade my electric trimmer and considered a gas trimmer knowing that the life expectancy is a few years and the hassle of dealing with fuel because I was tired of dragging the extension cord out and dealing with the tangles and snagging of the cord.
While looking at gas trimmers I found the Husqvarna cordless trimmer and did some research. Decided that was the way to go and ordered the trimmer and spare line. As a side note seems the Husqvarna .80 line refill is difficult to get in a short timeframe.
Also ordered the Husqvarna cordless blower at same time. Both arrived and I charged the batteries thinking I would need both batteries to finish my yard based upon my past experience. I was amazed to find that I trimmed the yard and used the blower to clean up with not only one battery I had two bars left on the battery. Battery usage is outstanding on these tools. I did use the trimmer in eco mode and did not see a need to run full power for general weeding and grass., never did I think I needed to kick up to full power on the trimmer.
Weigh is balanced well and the trimmer handles well, I like the quick length and handle adjustments, I found that if I moved the handle down a bit and extended the length I could easily keep the trimmer level with no arm fatigue. Be careful because this trimmer will cut to the dirt quickly if not controlled properly which is a good thing for weeds not so much in the middle of your lawn.
I am also impressed with the Husqvarna line that ships with the trimmer this line is amazingly tough, my old trimmer would eat line and require me to refill the trimmer twice since I have some areas that are tough on the line. The included line had no issues with cement walls, driveway cracks and chain link fence.
I could not be happier with this purchase and think this is a sound investment compared to gas trimmers

Can I tell you something?
I took part of my stimulus check and I bought this expensive weed eater. I had used a black and decker battery powered weedeater for years but the batteries were running out so quick I thought I would splurge and buy a really nice one that would last me probably for the rest of my life. So I got this and first of all was surprised at how heavy it was. It was advertised as being light. It might be light for a man but it wasn’t light for me. The black and decker was so much lighter than this weed eater. The battery was really big (and heavier than I imagined it would be) It is very bulky and cumbersome to use. But among my main complaints is that it will not cut. It beats the grass down it doesn’t cut it. I enclosed a picture of a little patch of weeds were I went over it and over it and over it and it just flattened the weeds out. I should’ve had a hole 6 inches deep in the ground by then. The trimmer string was the right length when I tapped the ground the cord advanced, I charged the battery overnight. Of course I recycled the box it came in, All I have is the packing slip. I mean...Husqvarna? It is top of the line, no need to worry about returning it...not! So I am going to buy new batteries for the other one, just something else to clutter up the garage. I am so disgusted
