Pros

The line cartridge lasts longer than you would think and can be reloaded with line or replacement cartridges can be purchased, but those are a bit pricy. Battery life is good, not much of battery powered equipment but it is nice not having to stretch ...  Read More

Happy to get discounted based on being refurbished. This refurbished (renewed) unit looks like new, works great like a new unit.
