Will it really run 3 hours if I'm cutting knee high weeds ? I would like to hear Pro's and Cons from people who have used it harshly?

IMO def will not, maybe 15-30 min of hard use but it will be slow slow cutting....MAYBE.then it will slow down to the point you just want to smash it on the ground. this product is good if you need to buzz around a fence, or tree. very light duty stuff.

It says 3 hour charger, meaning could fully charge in 3 hours. Not run time.

No. Nothing about this works well. Do not invest in it. The blades do not cut the grass well. Too hard to push. I thought that it could be a good work out.....Not worth the time. I cost over $100 to ship it back.

In my experience with this trimmer I would not see a problem with one hour of continous use. I dont have that situation but I have trimmef my yard 6 to 7 times, 10 minutes each time, and it still doesnt need charging.

Always used a cheap weedeater trimmer. Power on 4 cycle is great it's just heavy as hell. Gives a old man back ache.

Honestly not sure. I just cut the grass if it is to high I have to go over the area a couple of times. Lol at the moment I have well maintain weeds. In areas where there is actual grass it guy very nicely

There are probably better tools out there for what you described, but the Kukri will serve you well. It comes out of the box very sharp, but if you do a bit of a touch up, the grass won't be a problem. Thick vines and small saplings will present no problems at all!

Not sure on that grass, but it works great on fescu, Bermuda grass, not great for thick weeds, run time around 45 min, as edging around our place only takes 20.

I have cut grass and weeds up to 3 feet and had no problem. We have a lot of russian thistle up here in North Dakota and it goes through it like butter. I love this machine.

I never used it as an edger guide. I used it as a bump guard to protect me from weed eating things that I didn't want cut like plants or flowers. I also used it when weed eating around the house against the bricks. As far as making a straight line when the weed eater is moved into the edger position, it is really easy to cut in a straight line because you can actually see where the trimmer line is cutting while you are trimming. Not to mention, the weed eater is very light so its easy to hold steady and maneuver in the direction desired. Also, FYI the battery lasts 15-20 min on a full charge and takes approx. 8 hrs to charge unlike the other answer to this question. That is what I have experienced. I never used it as an edger guide.

I'd say you can expect about 45 mins to an hour if you run it pretty constantly. It does go from strong cutting to dead pretty quickly, meaning it will cut well to the end.

Aww man you're gonna make me have to go see cuz I honestly can't remember. I hope you appreciate this and you owe me a beer....... Ok, it will roll backwards but the blades do not. It is however a fairly heavy bugger and I expect, with proper maintenance, to get a lifetime of usage out of it. I bought it mainly as a backup for my power mower. It does not, however, cut weeds for nothing and I don't know why. I believe because the weeds are so flexible they slide right through. But in a way that's a good thing as then you can spot the little bastids and kill them.

we got this because we have like 30 square feet to mow in our town house, so its a 5 min process. taking that into consideration, its not bad, its definitely not self propelled you have to push it and there is a little resistance. It also depends on how thick and high the grass is. I wouldn't recommend this for you if you have a large area to mow. The handle height is decent (the user is 6') i don't feel like i'm bent over using it. the best way to describe it would be pushing an empty shopping cart

My yard is a pretty decent size (borderline big enough for a riding mower) and the edger/trimmer 24v battery lasts long enough to edge and trim all of my front and back yard...then I usually have to plug it in while I mow the lawn so that I can use the blower when I'm done, but it lasts quite a while and works great. I have used it for the dreaded "first cut" of the year and had no problems with it trimming the taller grass down (roughly 6" in some areas)

Mine is working extremely well. I've never timed it, but I have a 1/2 acre and a lot of leaves. I can clean up all my leaves and not run out of time. The next time I'll get half way through and let it die and then charge it. I haven't watched how long it takes to charge either, I tend to put it in the charger and leave it all night. You can find that information on the Battery Purchasing site, I think it said 4 hours.

It takes about an hour to charge and I can weed wack my entire property. I would say it lasts a few hours if not more

It depends on the speed you use. The faster the speed, the shorter the battery life. We typically run the weed eater on medium and it lasts about an hour. We ended up buying an extra battery since we have nearly an acre of land and with a fence there is even more trimming to be done. We love this trimmer though and purchasing the extra battery was a wise decision for us so we can always finish all the trimming without having to wait for a battery to charge.
