Replaced a Stihl gas powered trimmer with this item. So far, so good. Works well, with plenty of power. Did an hour's worth of trimming on the low setting with one battery, and still had a little charge left. Also, after reading several recommendations, I replaced the DeWalt trimmer head with a Husqvarna T-35 universal head. I discovered that when bumping this head for more line, more than necessary comes out, and I end up having to cut a little off each end so that the line doesn't tangle up with the guard. This is not really a game changer. I also clean the vent at the top of the motor of excess grass, so that it does not overheat. It is worth doing this compared to gas mixing and cord pulling. All in all, I am happy with this item and would recommend it. Battery power is the way to go for convenience.Read full review

Great product. Disappointing battery life. Read several reviews that made it seem like one 9ah battery lasted 1hr plus. Four of the ones I bought consistently lasted only 20 minutes each. Great for a trimming whip, not for mature field grass.

This weed eater is a beast. I have another 20-volt weed eater that is ok but does not have the power my Dewalt has. The battery has plenty of power to do my whole lawn with some left over. I thought at first it would be too heavy, but it is well balanced and easy to handle. The low speed is really all I needed to mow through grass up to my knees, I only used the high speed once to see if it worked. I know there are other good brands of tools out there, but my drill and circular saw are all Dewalt and I have been happy with them. And now I can say I am happy with my new weed eater.

DeWALT created a monster. Forget about the batteries, this trimmer has enough torque to drain the operator of his power. I had never used cordless products before and wanted to make sure I had enough power to get the job done. Note to self - it has plenty of power. Nothing against DeWALT; their product is solid. This was a learning curve of an experience. Bottom line - this bad boy can tackle the toughest weeds. Just make sure you bring your A game to handle it.

Very pleased with the operation, the quality of the build. I have four string trimmer‘s, and this unit stands up to the best! Nine amp hour battery issue gave me over an hour of fairly heavy trimming. Purchased two aftermarket 7 AM power batteries fully charged I couldn’t even get 15 minutes out of them. I do wish it was a 17 inch path instead of 15, but I can live with it. My biggest complaint is I could use a additional battery but under no circumstances will I pay the amount that Dewalt is charging!!!

Weighs less than my Stihl gas powered trimmer. I was hoping for a vibration free experience due to the brushless motor design, but that is not the case. It is however less than my current trimmer. Plenty of power when needed to cut down tall stocks of Johnson grass. Excellent throttle control. Rapid charging capable. Charge last longer than my 1/4 acre lot needs.

I was hesitant to spend this much money on a battery operated string trimmer but it is very similar in power to my gas powered trimmer and ran over 40 minutes on one charge. Cut heavy woody weeds as well as grasses, much quieter than gas and no messing with gas and pull starting. EXCELLENT

Very convenient, easy to use, for a big yard you will need two or three batteries.

Ordered this item on Monday, and on Tuesday I was putting it together! Used it the next day after giving the the battery a full charge. Worked it for about 20 minutes, and when I checked the battery, it was still fully charged! This thing is a beast! But like a lot of reviews, the shield is quite small. I found that like the user manual says, if you trim from left to right, you don't end up with very much debre hitting you. It may be a bit heavy for my wife though, so this may become my job!!
