Does anyone here know if this is a "decent" tool for a quarter acre lot ?

I have no experience with them but a co-worker has one and loves it. On average he gets about 20 minutes runtime on a battery which is more than enough for what he needs. Due to the amount of trimming I do, battery is just not an option.

I have seen them on craigslist for sale several times. I do not know if that is any indication of whether people like it or not.

I use one...been using it for a couple of months. Let me know what you'd like know about it. I've also been using the 40V blower.

I had the 20v and it handled my 13k fine. My brother has it now and is still enjoying it.

@Green How long does the 40v battery last when trimming ? How long does a spool of line last ?

I would say the battery lasts at least 15 min, and probably longer, but I haven't timed it, and I don't like to fully charge or discharge it, as that shortens the life of lithium ion batteries.

The spool doesn't come with much line on it. When you reload it, you can fit more on it, but it's still a pretty small spool. You really have to learn to cut with just the tip, as it will last longer and cut better. Of course, trimming around walls, it will keep breaking off. It's easy to put out more string though; it has a button for that, that you hit while running the trimmer.
