    Features

    Battery-powered

    The GreenWorks G 24, like all GreenWorks products, runs on electricity. (In this case via battery power.)  This means you never have to worry about filling it up with gas. No gas also means no fumes, which means you don’t have to worry about ventilation when storing the trimmer when it’s not in use.

    Because it is an electric-powered weed eater, this makes it an eco-friendlier option compared to other gas-powered models and brands. 


    Pivoting head

    The pivoting head and edging wheel provide robust edging and trimming capabilities. 


    Good cutting path

    The 12-inch cutting path is a very happy middle. It’s broad enough for your weed eating needs, while still being very easy to maneuver around tight spaces like flower beds or to use while edging.


    GreenWorks 24-Volt Lithium Max battery

    The GreenWorks 24-Volt 2Ah Li-ion battery the trimmer requires is included with your purchase. This particular battery is exclusive to GreenWorks and can run up to an impressive 25 minutes on one single charge.

    This is great for folks who’ve been hesitant to try battery-powered weed eaters in the past due to shorter run times. The 2Ah Li-ion battery also charges quite quickly in just 45 minutes, which is a great speed improvement compared to other models. The battery’s charger also comes included with purchase. 


    Lightweight and easy to use

    The Greenworks 21342 G-24 is lightweight at just 8.8lbs. Meanwhile, the pole is height-adjustable for ergonomics and a custom fit.

    First Impressions


    The GreenWorks 21342 G-24 has the classic GreenWorks aesthetic. It’s very easy to use. The auto string feed worked great for me, and it’s the best edger I’ve used in a long time. I also like that it’s lightweight and height-adjustable, both being easy on the back.
