So I was super concerned about switching to electric. I don't have a huge yard but I am VERY picky with my tools/yard machines. So I ordered the weed eater and blower combo, and I absolutely LOVE it. My fiancé ordered it for me on father's day and it is currently 8/21/24. I wanted to use it a few handful of times before I give my review. I live on about a quarter acre and I weedeat and blow off my driveway and back porch. The weedeater came spoiled already so it was ready to use. It is very strong and will fulfill your needs. The blower is very strong as well. I didn't expect that much power from the blower or weedeater. As for the battery, I never killed the battery. When you 1st get it, CHARGE IT! Don't kill it. But it lasts very well. I charge it after every use so it's ready to go. The charger seems to have a built in fan. Don't worry. It's fine. Anyways it's great. I recommend to anyone
