My lawn is roughly 100ft wide by 250ft long.I bought two 15 AH flexvolt batteries with this tool, plus the 60v max handheld blower, which came with its own 12 AH flexvolt battery.I had to modify the battery shroud a bit by filing away about 1/4 inch of material from the inner rear part of it to make those 15 AH batteries fit, but once I did, they popped right in and worked just fine.On just one of the 15 AH batteries, I was able to not just trim, but actually mow 80% of my lawn, just using the low power setting on the trimmer, and was able to switch to the 60v mode a few times to deal with some more durable weeds and I used a little bit of the second 15 AH battery to finish mowing the lawn.I don't have a reliable lawnmower yet, but this trimmer makes me wonder if I even need one at all.On top of that, unlike a gas powered trimmer, this one isn't loud, it's very quiet,And it imposes significantly less vibrations on your forearms and hands, which keeps it feeling comfortable even after prolonged use.Even with the big 15AH battery in it, it still felt lighter than a gas trimmer.With a gas trimmer you always have to be mindful of the orientation of your gas tank,If you flip the trimmer upside-down it'll stall, but not with this trimmer, it doesn't skip a beat no matter what orientation or angle you hold it in, which meant a lot to me in a few areas where I wanted to remove one plant but not another.plus you don't need to mix fuel for it and it doesn't give off that noxious smell either.After that, I whipped out the 60v max blower to clean off the driveway, sidewalk & fluff the grass on the entire lawn, neither tool failed me or ran out of power.I'm very impressed with both tools.

The cordage this one comes with is too thin. Probably fine for grass, but any kind of brush, and it breaks easily. Upgrade the cord gauge, and this weed whacker is awesome. Love it!

Just received number 4. Previous 3 killed with fried motors. I suspect this is a bigger issue than anyone at Amazon or Dewalt cares to discuss. But they keep selling them as is. And receiving returned burned up units. Amazon would not allow me to return my 3rd, despite its failure a week before the warranty expired. Dewalt has third parties in far away places, and they will probably bill you too, hundred bucks or so for the "overhaul". Pass, not interested! Just bought a new motor at E-replacement, they had 25 in stock! I'll fix it myself. So, you ask, why are you on your fourth trimmer? Easy. Very powerful machine with enormous potential. Also, runs on DeWalt batteries.I strongly suggest the following...... 1) Scrap the DeWalt trimmer head immediately. They are junk. 2) Purchase either a Husqvarna T-35 or Stihl Autocut-25-2 right here on Amazon. They fit and work very well and there are videos to show you how. If you've got tall, dry, stringy, tough weeds, a solid option is Aneolife .095 trimmer string, also here on Amazon. Oh, one more purchase here on Amazon; A wrap-around trimmer guard for these units, there are a handful of these knockoffs when you search "Trimmer Guard" and verify our model number. You must get this or you will be covered head to toe in clippings.One more thing..... this is crucial! always allow your unit to cool, preferably in the shade with a breeze. Give it 1/2 hour. If you start running your fully charged batteries in succession at this machine on a hot day, you will seize it up! There are air holes at the front of the motor you could clean once in a while.

For home it’s fantastic. For work it’s great. I wish I could mount a blade on it.

Its a real good weed trimmer high speed is great for real dense trimming but for the most part you dont need it, its light and well balanced, easy to control, arms dont hurt after use for a few hours, no numb hands from vibrations, no its not compatible with a pole trimmer or saw attachment despit being able to fold in half, 1 battery lasts about 3- 4hours or so before you need to swap them out, flex volt batteries take just over a hour to rechaged without a fast charger, worth the money i love it

a little heavier than what i am used to however once the battery was installed it balanced inself out just fine, love the instant "on off" of battery power. I am hoping the unit will accept and use the heavier 095 string as I have a large roll to use up, so far so good after a good hours worth of weed eating!

I took this out to our family property and it smashed through large brush like Khabib did to McGregor. Bought the 60v because I already had 60v batteries and was worried about the power of the 20v. This 60v has far more power than I ever need. I've never taken it off of low power setting and I can do my medium-sized suburban yard about 5 or 6 times before I need to charge the battery. My Neighbour is in the Milwaukee camp because he's in a tradesman paradigm, but he's jealous of this baby all day long.

I am happy that I went for the heavier duty.I have put this through the paces and haven't been disappointed. I have owned it long enough now that I have refilled the line spool three times. And while it doesn't look like new anymore, I don't think I have even put a dent in its useful life.I have taken out 1" diameter blackberries, yet turned the trimmer on edge and done some quality edging.I mostly have done 'bushwhacking' type clearing with it. The lesson has been to top the tall stuff and then repeat to get the area down to height otherwise the falling long material is caught and you bind up too often. The spool on this unit does clear pretty easily.Another trick with clearing tall material is to pay attention to the direction that you sweep the cutting. There is enough horsepower here that even heavy material can get thrown clear if you get your geometry right.Rarely do I use it on the high speed switch setting. I get just fine results on the lower setting.Ergonomically I have the handle placed so that it has a nice balance during use and also for carrying (with or without the battery in place). The trigger is easy to control so that you can regulate the rpm's, hence the ability to do both deep weeds and also edge or work around delicates.But, of course, this is a battery powered tool. I have 2 of the 6.0AH batteries and get 30-45 minutes of continuous work from each one (but I do take care to only run at the rpm's necessary to do the job at hand). So I can't recharge fast enough with just the two to work continuously--even with the DCB118 Fast Charger.But factoring in the elimination of all the hassle of alternatives--power cords or fuel mixtures-- I still am ahead.First time I used this I immediately adjusted the contents of my tool shed so that this trimmer hangs where it is the easiest grab in the shed. While it is limited in how much run time you have, it is an absolute beast when it comes to how much work you can do with a single battery.Only hassle I keep encountering is when I need to spool up new line. I always forget the process for opening to get to the spool. The parts have labels to show locked vs. unlocked, but I get to the point where it won't open and I don't know if I have missed a step or if it is just that debris has gotten into the housing and is fighting back. I jump online and review the owner's manual and everything works out, but I wish it would just happen without having the extra minutes of downtime.Oh, decibels. I habitually use foam ear plugs when using powered yard tools, but this unit is on the borderline of requiring protection. Neighbors certainly have nothing to complain about as it is well below the dB's of a gas unit and has the added benefit of when it is "idling" as you move from spot to spot, it is off.
