Greenworks Cordless String Trimmer 24V

Homeowners with a larger lawn and shrubs or planting beds to trim will get the most from this Greenworks cordless string trimmer. Its 15-inch cutting path covers more ground per pass than a narrower head, while variable speed gives you a way to slow down when working close to plants. The included 6.0Ah battery and charger make it a ready-to-use kit, but the product details don’t state a runtime, so the battery’s reach on your specific yard is hard to predict.

Key specifications

The trimmer uses a brushless motor and a 15-inch cutting path with 0.080-inch dual twisted line. A bump-feed head advances line as needed, and the quick-load design is described as allowing reloading in under 60 seconds, according to the maker. That combination is aimed at regular lawn and yard trimming rather than fine, delicate work alone.

Variable speed is useful when the job changes as you move around the yard. For example, you can ease off near a shrub, then use a faster pace along a more open stretch of grass. The listing calls the tool lightweight, but gives no weight figure, so there’s no way to compare its heft directly with another trimmer from the supplied details.

Who it’s for

This setup is aimed at people who want cordless freedom for trimming larger areas and would rather have a battery and charger included than buy them separately. It makes sense if your yard has a mix of open edges and spots that call for more controlled trimming, and you value being able to adjust speed at the trigger.

There are tradeoffs. The 15-inch path favors covering ground, but the available details don’t establish how long the battery will last on a particular property. If you have a very large yard or long sessions in mind, runtime is a key unknown to weigh against a gas trimmer or a kit with a stated operating time. It also uses a specific 0.080-inch dual line, so line requirements matter when it’s time to restock.

In the box

The kit includes the trimmer, a 6.0Ah battery, and a 65W USB-C charger. The charger is also described as suitable for charging USB-C phones, laptops, tablets, and other devices, that extra function may be useful if you can make use of it beyond yard work. Greenworks lists a 3-year warranty for both the trimmer and battery. The tool is also described as working with over 200 Greenworks 24V tools, which may matter if you already own equipment in that system.

Practical doubts

Does it include a battery and charger? Yes. The listing specifies a 6.0Ah battery and 65W USB-C charger in the kit.

What line does it use? It is listed with 0.080-inch dual twisted line. The bump-feed head advances line during use, and the quick-load feature is intended to make reloading simpler.

Can the charger power other devices? The product details say the USB-C charger can charge phones, laptops, tablets, and other USB-C devices. They don’t specify device-by-device charging times.

Is it worth it?

The appeal here is the combination of a wide cutting path, adjustable speed, and a battery-and-charger kit, rather than a bare tool that requires a separate battery purchase. That makes it a practical fit for routine trimming around a home, especially if the Greenworks 24V system is already part of your setup. Not the best choice if you need a confirmed runtime for a demanding yard or want to compare weight and operating time before buying, those figures aren’t provided in the product information.
