I received the GreenWorks cordless trimmer/edger in May 2011 and put it together with ease. I read the reviews on Amazon's site regarding the battery life (20 volt lithium-ion @ 6amp hours) and have to agree, it is great. I charged the battery in 4 hours and began using it to trim and edge not only my lawn and sidewalk but also my neighbors and still had have the battery's life remaining.
I had also purchased the GreenWorks blower to use with this battery and was able to clear the debris from the sidewalks and driveways from the trimming & edging of both properties and still had a quarter of battery life left. I did not have to trim grass taller than 6-7 inches but my yard consists of approximately 11,000 square feet.
I've used this combination of trimmer and blower for 4 weeks and have never had to stop because the battery "ran out" of power.
My only complaint is that the string does not advance automatically. However, other than that I would highly recommend the GreenWorks trimmer/edger for anyone looking for a cordless piece of equipment.
