re: rec for a cordless battery powered weedwhacker

Lowe’s has a bunch on clearance. Saw a few that were 30-50 dollars off.

I used to think that.
Then i quite buying walmart shitty weed eaters and blowers.

Never owned one of those in my life. Honda mower, tiller, outboard. First crank.
But gas trimmer is too effing heavy, awkwardly balanced, and high vibration for my hands/arms. My 85 y o mother does her own edging w a cordless electric trimmer, so I figure I can handle that. Quiet, doesn’t stink, no bothering w gas.

Thanks to all who provided recs, I’m off to the big boxes to make a purchase.

I am into my 2nd summer with the Ryobi 40v weedeater and the edger attachments. It takes about 45 minutes to do it all. It is well worth the money.

I just had my motorized Ryobi powerhead go out. I am thinking of getting one of the electric heads. I am assuming the expand-it attachments compatible with both heads?

I have the dewalt 20v weedwacker and I love it. Use it for edging after cutting the grass and never have issues with power or battery life. I take it into the neighborhood culvert to knock down the weeds and it’s a champ in the high grass/weeds. Battery will run out after about 20 of non-stop use in the thick stuff

Ryobi 18v works great for me. Yard is almost an acre. Make sure you have 2 batteries. I don't know how much it weighs but it's not much.

So based on this thread everyone uses something different and everyone likes theirs.

I’ve never had one but looking into the black and decker 40v one (do I need 40v?). Also the worx and the green works.
