            Vibrates excessively and quickly turns off
            Out of the box today with standard grass cutter wheel: 1. Vibrates do much that even wearing gloves I got a blister on base of right thumb in the 20 minutes the battery lasted. 2. At any of three power levels, the trigger is all or nothing versus being incremental. 3. Unit powers off after 30 seconds or less (not one minute) necessitating peering over handle, removing gloves to repower and quickly putting gloves on before it powers off again. 4. Back to Home Depot ASAP.

              I am satisfied with the machine and the blade. It took a LOT of adjusting of the harness to get the right ergonomic fit, but eventually it was comfortable. I find the safety fender is too big to get the close to the ground trim that I wanted. I am having trouble finding the correct string head attachment for it as well, since it seems the model numbers have changed. It's reliable but limited.

                Good For 3 Months
                It worked really well for 3 months. I would get a ournd 15-20 minutes of run time with the string head. Now I can get 10 minutes than it won’t start back up even if the battery still has 2 bars. If I take off the head and put the head back on it’ll start up again but if I stop it won’t start up again and make a beep sound. Spent a lot of money for a machine that works just as good as a home lite string trimmer. Buyer beware.

                  I'm 5'6" 130 lbs and I find this easy to carry and operate. The shoulder harness is really well designed and the machine is a fraction of the noise of a gas one.

                  Plenty of power to cut through brush up to an inch thick. With heavy cutting the charge lasts about 30-40 minutes. I'm ready for a break by then anyway. Recharge takes about the same amount of time.
