Is this the one you have? I am trying to convince my partner to try it.

Would be so nice to not have to get gas every so often. It's a hassle and last time we had a little spill. Wasn't too bad but took a while to clean up.

The brand of mine is Worx. I would not recommend it. Maybe another brand would be better.

Its what I have and its amazing. This one has a fast reload head so you just insert the string and press a button. Their cheaper one doesnt have that. Just look for the carbon fiber shaft. If you have a Lowes coupon home depot will match it.

Is it easy to assemble? Is it heavy?

So partner says the gas trimmer just started working again. Obviously if we keep it, we should get it checked out.

Not wasted. I've been learning about electric trimmers. Maybe we'll keep our gas unit. Maybe not.
