Sun Joe 2IONMAX 10" Stringless Grass Trimmer

I decided to buy this because it's string less. I wanted to avoid the headaches and hassle of string trimmers. I have a corded Sun Joe pole saw that I am very pleased with. I purchased this without the benefit of any reviews as it is a new product. Upon opening the box my first impression was, I just bought something that screams light duty and looks and feels very cheaply made. It's a feather weight with a plastic shaft and a baby size motor that looks like it wouldn't survive a drop from 3 feet. At the $79 price point my expectations weren't super high but when I compare it to the pole saw I bought a few years back for about the same amount of money, quality wise there is no comparison. Assembly was very easy and the battery came almost fully charged. I went to work right away edging along my concrete patio which was very light grass and it was doing okay. A few minutes later I went after a little bit thicker grass in another part of the yard, the motor bogged down, I feathered the switch to compensate and then it started smoking from the motor, game over. It didn't stop working completely but you know what they say "once you let the smoke out you can never get it back in" Needless to say but I will be returning this item.
