Is the auto feed any good. Had a weed eater and the auto feed never worked right.

My yard is fence in with a chain link fence. The using this product against the fence out goes through the string real fast. However, it is ok around the garage and trees.

We found the double line was wound too tight and stuck together. We are constantly unwinding the line manually which is a pain and time consuming. The trimmer works great apart from the twine problem.

Auto feed works by starting and stopping motor. It feeds approximately 1/2 inch of line each time you stop and start. Took a little getting used to for me but it works reliably and I like the trimmer.

No, not so much for me. Add to the fact that its double-line, it just seems to take twice as much effort to get the line out.I will say that when this weed-eater works, it does an incredibly good job.

I have never had an auto feed feature that worked properly even on a commercial weed eater! So the answer is no- sorry

no the auto feed does not work I have to manually pull the line out. Most frustrating trimmer I ever owned wish I could send it back.

Love mine! I use it to clear the sidewalk after mowing and getting leaves off the deck. It's not great for piles of leaves though not enough power. I have the weed eater and the blower and batteries are interchangeable. For lots of leaves you need a more powerful blower.

My son and I mow and weed eat several yards every week. We also have a worx 40v hedge trimmer that uses the same battery. I have only used the entire charge on a battery once and that was after using the hedge trimmer 1st then switching the battery to the weed eater. The battery lasts a long time.

You can use it up to twice per year. IMO if the weed and feed didn't work I wouldn't worry that it counts as an application. I have used this stuff for a few years now and it isn't real aggressive toward killing lawn grasses. I have cheated and used it up to 3 times in a year with no bad effects.

It's powerful but not that powerful. Try vinegar to kill the weeds then maybe this will get them out after they're dead.

Sorry I can't help on this ... I bought the weed eater a year ago and am still using the battery that came with the unit.

I used to live on a few acres and I used it everywhere. Unless I was using it next to a metal edge (something like hogwire), I would usually get a month or more of usage before I had to re-spool. I still have quite a bit of line left on my .065" x 300Ft pack that I bought over a year ago. I would give the auto feed a 9 on a scale of 10, as long as use wind the spool "firmly but not tightly". I buy a new one about every 3 years - that seems to be the battery life. Would buy it again.

I have always had to extend the string manually. That is, I pushed the knob on the end of the "Automatic" feeder while holding the unit upside down in my hands, and putting extraction tension on the string. If I pulled out too much, I just let the automatic trimmer blade cut it to length. I figured that is sloppy engineering to have a poor auto feed. Yet, it does not matter to me any more. I threw away the entire device when they discontinued the only feature that made the trimmer better than Black and Decker. They no longer have the 6 amp hour battery. AND, Black and decker now has a longer lasting battery, even though rated at less AH. Sorry, Greenworks! That is why we have competition. Somebody else has a better product. The UGLY thing is, I have no less than 6 non-interchangeable different company made chargers on my wall. That is planed product security, and a loophole in customer service.

Yes a very good brand one of the best mowers I have used I have cut weeds 6 inches tall without the use of a weed eater. I think its a new company that's just starting but in the future there products are going to sell. This is a must buy I give it 5 stars

I use this around the flowers and close to the house and on the drive way. When the weeds come up in the cracks it does a better job than a weed waker, around the edges of the house the weed waker brakes the siding, so now I used the weedeater instead of the weed sacker. I love mine. In the garden it also tills the sod as well

I'm not sure what weed eater that is, I have the Black & Decker one that is cordless and ran by battery and they are the correct ones for this one.

Go to your parts manual or WeedEater parts and get the manufacturer number of what you want and then do an Amazon search for it. If it doesn't show up you're forced to go to the OEM. Do you know if the weed Eater is made by MTD or Husquvarna. Almost all are made by one of them. Even some if not all of the big names until you get to $3,000.

It has worked for me with grass and leaves. The only thing with hay or grass is you have to watch that they are not too long and end up being twisted around the spinning parts just like on a hand held weed eater if you try to take on more than the item can process. It mulched up leaves beautifully for me I and my neighbors yard which provided nice mulch for one whole side of my house garden.

Sorry Patti, can't help you with this one. Have had my feeder only three months and everything is working find for me. Good luck with your problem

The battery may be dead. Or it not getting a good connection. Try a 12 volt battery that wat I used in my feeder and it throws corn every far on the low setting.

It doesn't do a very good job of keeping weeds down. I had certain typr of weeds coming through after less than 3 months.

I feed mine 5 seconds twice a day. Pits out plenty of corn. Batteries last about 3 months. I use Everyready lithium AA
