Many users have noted that they were pleasantly surprised by the power of the trimmer, as a battery powered tool is generally not expected to be as substantial as its gas-powered counterparts.

A common disappointment among users was the edger tool which was only good enough to use for maintaining a neat edge, rather than creating one.

Most users agreed that this piece of yard equipment was a long-term investment that would pay off, expecting it to last for many years and continue to operate at a high standard. One niggle that many users noted was a problem with the throttle travel, which confusingly will only go half way down. It seems to be a minor design flaw, though it does not affect use.

Some users commented that operating this machine was a steep learning curve. The only way to know how close to place the machine to the edge of the lawn was through trial and error.
