The quality of the product is excellent very well made and has plenty of power even on low. I also like the fact that it has the ability to change the attachments. Plan to purchase the pole saw and extension. Replacing the cutting line is also very easy. The only complaint I have is the battery does not last 1 hr. as stated even when used on low , the most I can get out of the battery after doing a full charge ( takes a full 90 min, to do a full charge after using the battery up completely ) and using it continuous on low is 35 - 40 minutes . Also a replacement battery is about $130.00. Should come with 2 batteries.

The trimmer overheats quickly even on low speed. Power is very low on low. It works ok but definitely not near normal Milwaukee quality. Will overheat much guicker on high. Even on high the trimmer does not have great power. No concern about battery running out because it gets hot after 10 to 15 minutes.

I read reviews that get between 50 minutes to 1 hour on single charge on high. I wasn't close to that, I did use it on high and low settings on first use. Maybe I was figuring the time wrong. It has plenty of power though. I have the 9.0 battery. 12.0 might be a better choice for me. It is a little heavier than gas trimmers, so weigh your decision based on your needs. If you have a lot of grass, stick with gas or get bigger battery and a spare. You won't have to worry about power though. Very surprised in how strong it is. *Update* With using low setting, easily getting 1-hour of use, if not longer. I haven't had to charge battery for past 2 uses and still has 2-bars on the battery.

Not quite as powerful as a gas powered unit (Compared to a mid-range Stihl), but the ease of battery operation and not having to worry about fuel makes it very worthwhile. We use it in heavy weed and grasses on a large property. I purchased this one because the 9 amp batteries have bad reviews. The 8 amp is great and lasts about an hour of heavy work. I also have 4 other M18 batteries so we can work all day rotating batteries. The string advance and refill is much much easier than on a lot of other trimmers, and for what ever reason, the sting we're using seems to last longer.

I love this Milwaukee string trimmer. It lasts about 45 minutes with the 9.0 battery that came with it and I used it for an hour with a 12.0. I would recommend it to anyone who is tired of pulling on a starting cord for a gas powered weed eater like I was. I am only 5’1” so I got the strap to help hold it as it is almost as tall as me. Milwaukee did not disappoint with this tool. Milwaukee fan for life!
