I acquired this lawn tool to help me with some weeds in the back of our house. In the past I have traditionally used a corded weed wacker, however since the backyard has some areas where the cord does not reach, I needed another solution. With this, you basically can go anywhere to control those pesky weeds. The tool is lighter than I had expected, even with the battery. The battery system is also interchangeable with other Sun Joe products so if you ever need another spare, you can snap another battery in to continue. In terms of power, it really does the job. I was able to get rid of weeds in a certain area of the backyard in less than 10 minutes, which provided me with plenty of battery power to do other areas of the front lawn. Not having a corded tool is wonderful and not having to use gasoline, especially the way gas prices are now, is also something I don’t have to worry about. Overall, I am very impressed with the quality of this product and expect it will keep delivering results for the next few years.
