It runs on the 40volt ryobi batteries, which provides more power to the drive train than the 18volt type machines. This is good when up against tough cutting jobs. Not so good, in that ryobi 40volt packs have a less than stellar record for longevity. I have had two fail after only two cycles, and I never run them empty. All in all, tho, the "expand-it" line of tools is quite good.

The four amp battery lasts about 30 minutes before it goes flat. I Had to purchase another battery so that I could finish the job on the same day. It arrived with a dent on the lower attachment and a cut on the handle holder plastic. I believe that I have been sent a returned or used trimmer. The box in which the trimmer arrived was taped together many times. On both ends. The box and the trimmer inside left a lot to be desired. The only thing good to be said of this purchase is that the trimmer works. For how long, we will see.

Tired of mixing fuel and replacing the carb on your no-start gas powered trimmer? This 40v trimmer is a good alternative. Weighs a little less, has similar power for heavy weeds and tall grass. Good run-time on the battery so far. Purchase price complete was about what I spent every other year to service my Stihl FS55. Very pleased with this trimmer for use on 2 acres of lawn.

I've always used an electric string trimmer and this is my first battery operated unit. The trimmer is much heavier than expected but yet is not unexpected - which is not necessarily a bad thing. This thing is quite powerful. With it on the low setting, I got good results. Putting it on high really tore through weeds. The trigger is variable speed which is nice and not very difficult to get a feel for. While today was the first time using it, I found it to be a bit awkward to handle at times - but I attribute this to my inexperience in how to best handle it. I'm sure once I figure out the technique the experience should improve. Overall I'm pretty satisfied and would recommend.

Great trimmer! Trimmed the fence around my average size back yard and all my trees and still had plenty of charge left in the battery. It is very powerful. I would rate the power as similar to a mid-range gas trimmer. It is not lightweight like a corded trimmer, but very reasonable weight for its power. It is very easy to operate and control.
