Skil LT4823B-10 PWR CORE 20 Brushless 20V 13” String Trimmer Kit, Includes 4.0Ah Battery and Charger, Red

Works well.
Does a decent job. The slower speed is less reliable though. So we just leave it on the high speed. It probably could use a place to hang a shoulder strap.

I was proved wrong.
I was skeptical at first when saw “electric weed eater” or “battery powered”. Now grant it, this one is not that strong, so deep heavy weeds, I’d go with something bigger, but for small stuff and maintenance, it’s perfect. It is light weight that makes it less annoying to handle. It’s quiet too, the only noise you hear is the line whizzing by as it spins. the battery life is in my opinion so-so. If you have a small yard, it will do all of it, but I may suggest something bigger if you live on something exceeding 2 acres.Everything about it is easy to use and assemble. Charges in a decent amount of time, (about 2 hours give or take) from empty to full. Like I said, I was skeptical at first, but in the end, I have come to really like this weed eater.

Actual review for the new 20V Skil LT4823B-10
When bought 6/30/21, there were 129 reviews posted for the 20V Skil LT4823B-10, which was first available in early May 2021. Only a couple reviews were for this actual product by verified purchasers. Most were for the 40V model, or by reviewers receiving a free product. Want a real review by a verified purchaser? Read on.I selected this trimmer b/c this has bump-feed string while most now have auto-feed, which I discovered dispenses 1/4″ of string every time you hit the trigger. No thanks. I think auto-feed refers to profit from string sales, and I’ve never had a problem w/bump feed.Another great and unique string-related feature is the “Patented Twist Load Head” that allows you to manually reload up to 16′ of bulk string very easily and less expensively than buying preloaded spools. Haven’t used this feature yet, but assuming it works it’s a big plus.NOTE: Owners Manual pg 10 states replacement line Model Number = STL2000. Apparently due to being a new product, STL2000 string not available yet as confirmed by Skil Customer Service who said “any 0.08″ line will do”. Have read reviews for some line saying it didn’t work well in a customer’s trimmer, so wanted the best choice. The red braided line looks like Weed Warrior 0.08″ Pulverized Twist, so that’s what I ordered since Skil doesn’t have their STL2000 line available yet.Other features leading to this purchase: brushless motor, 4.0Ah Lithium-Ion Battery, 2 speeds, dual vs single cutting line, and included storage bracket. Also, Skil parent company is Chervon, which is same for the esteemed EGO products. That association can’t hurt.My experience after first use: Assembly was EZ. You unfold the shaft, verify cable not pinched, then tighten 2 screws. Another 2 screws attach the guard, then just slide on and tighten down the handle.After charging the battery, ran it for approx 20-25″, including cutting into some heavy tall grass. Ran on “LO”, and this trimmer was tearing into the grass so aggressively that I don’t know what I’d need “HI” for! Did everything asked of it very well -no complaints.Note that the trigger needs to be firmly held.I normally don’t buy new products, but b/c this has so many great features from a good mfr, took a chance. Very happy so far. Still new though, therefore will update if anything changes.Recommended.

Nice trimmer for the money
