My Greenworks GST5033 Trimmer: A Reliable Choice for Small Yards

summarizeEditor's Summary

I've been using the Greenworks GST5033 electric trimmer for a few weeks now, and I gotta say, it's been a total game changer for my small yard. The build quality is top-notch, and the ease of use is a breeze. I was a bit skeptical about the battery life, but it's lasted longer than I expected. The value for money is also unbeatable. I've already recommended it to my neighbors, and I'm sure you'll love it too. It's perfect for keeping your lawn looking its best without breaking the bank. Plus, it's eco-friendly, which is a huge plus for me. The noise level is surprisingly low, making it perfect for early morning or evening use. I don't have to worry about running out of gas or recharging the battery, it's just plug-and-play. The weight is incredibly lightweight, making it easy to maneuver around my yard. The trimmer is a cinch to clean and maintain, which is a huge time-saver. And with the extendable handle, I can reach those hard-to-reach areas with ease. Overall, it's a reliable choice for anyone looking to keep their lawn looking its best without breaking the bank.

My Greenworks GST5033 Trimmer: A Reliable Choice for Small Yards
Hello there, lovely readers! I'm excited to share my experience with the Greenworks GST5033 electric trimmer.
I've always wanted a beautifully manicured lawn, and after some research, I decided to get this trimmer to make my outdoor space look welcoming and inviting.
As a homeowner with a small yard, I was looking for a reliable and easy-to-use trimmer that could help me achieve the perfect look without breaking the bank.
After considering various options, I settled on the Greenworks GST5033 electric trimmer, and I'm thrilled to share my thoughts on this fantastic tool.
First, let's talk about the packaging. When I received the trimmer, I was happy to see that it came in a small, lightweight box with four separate parts that needed to be assembled.
Assembling the trimmer was a breeze, thanks to the clear instructions provided. The only tricky part was attaching the protective cover, but it's easy once you figure it out.
Here are the accessories that come with the trimmer:
The trimmerThe protective coverThe gripThe transmission shaftThe hardware kitThe trimmer spool with 1.5mm twine - 2 piecesThe instruction manualThe warranty cardOne thing to note is that the cord with the plug is extremely short, so you'll need to buy an extension cord to reach all the corners of your yard. I recommend getting a 40-meter extension cord, which was a must-have for me.
The exterior design of the trimmer is sleek and aesthetically pleasing. It's also super comfortable to hold, even for a woman's hand, thanks to its telescoping shaft. The shaft is made of steel, which adds to the tool's overall reliability.
The Greenworks GST5033 comes with a pivoting mechanism that lets you tackle tricky areas with ease. For example, if you need to trim under a border or give your bushes a bit of a shape, you can simply rotate the trimmer head to the desired angle.
One thing I was happy to see was that the trimmer comes with a special clip for securing the extension cord. It's super convenient to attach the extension cord to the clip, so the plug doesn't accidentally pull out of the socket.
The cutting system on this trimmer is a string cutting system, which is perfect for small areas and grass. However, if you're planning to mow large areas with bushes or small trees, you might want to reconsider and get a gas-powered trimmer with a blade cutting system instead.
When I first started using the trimmer, I was a bit concerned about the ventilation holes getting clogged with grass. However, I've found that it's not a problem at all. You just need to shake off the excess grass every now and then, and that's it.
I also want to address the noise level, which is listed at 96 dB. I'm not sure if that's accurate, but I don't have a way to check. What I can say is that you won't be able to have a conversation with someone while using it, but it's not so loud that you'd need to wear earplugs.
Before I start mowing, I always walk over the area and pick up any visible branches, bits of bark, stones, and the like. That way, the trimmer won't suck them up and potentially hit me or someone nearby. I also use a secateurs to snip off any large clumps that are too tough for the trimmer to handle.
Most importantly, you shouldn't use this electric trimmer in wet weather or during a downpour. It's an electric device, after all! Cutting dry grass is a whole lot easier, and it's less likely to get stuck under the protective casing.
For all trimmers, including lawn mowers and strimmers, there's a recommended working time of 30-40 minutes, followed by a 10-minute break. I'd advise sticking to this schedule, especially on hot days – it'll help extend the life of your tool.
Now, let's talk about my takeaways and verdict. If you're a guy who needs to mow a big area and doesn't mind dealing with gas, a gas-powered mower might be the way to go. It's more powerful and more mobile.
But if you're a woman who doesn't always have the energy to lug around an 8-9 kg gas mower, or you need to mow a small area and have access to a power outlet, or you, like me, can't stand messing with gas and exhaust fumes, I'd recommend checking out this trimmer-hero of my review.
Honestly, even though it weighs 3 kg in my hands, after a few hours, it starts to feel really good. The vibration, though it's not super strong in this trimmer, makes my hands feel like they're humming after a while. But it's a pleasant kind of tiredness. I'm really glad that the end result is worth the effort I put in.
Yeah, cutting with this trimmer does take longer than with a gas-powered one, no secret there. On my two-acre yard, which my neighbor can mow with his gas-powered trimmer in 15 minutes, it takes me around 4 hours. But let's be real, I'm a girl! Plus, the actual cutting and the end result look way better with this trimmer than with my neighbor's gas-powered one. I can cut the grass almost to zero, even under trees, along borders, and around outdoor furniture – areas my neighbor's trimmer can't reach.
This tool has been a workhorse for me throughout the entire last season, with no issues whatsoever. And I'm hoping it'll keep going strong for a long time. It never overheated, even when I used it for hours in the scorching heat of the day (I try to avoid mowing in the evenings to avoid attracting mosquitoes).
I'm super happy with my Greenworks GST5033 electric trimmer purchase. Thanks to it, my yard and garden look neat and inviting. I really hope my review will help you decide on a reliable gardening assistant like this one.
