Pros: Well-balanced to decreased hand/arm fatigue, powerful weed trimmer able to slash thru 8-10 inch tall grass/weeds, hedge trimmer can reach tall bushes and tilting blade helps get to awkward spots while keeping you away from brambles, pole saw is effective at reaching tall branches of my oak tree (I've cut branches up to 3" diameter). I've not kept track of how long the battery lasts but it seems to be about average compared to other similar products. The greatest advantage is the modular design, where you are able to switch out the attachments quickly and saves space in storage, since it is not one long trimmer or polesaw, etc. Cons: not much so far. Some people may not like the two 20V batteries required to run the unit as a '40V'. It cannot run on one 20V battery. I've not had any problems and actually like the smaller batteries as opposed to one large 40V battery. I've not had the unit long enough to determine battery life/ durability. I did go ahead and purchase two extra 20V batteries at the same time I purchased the Wild Badger to b extend use time. Charge time is fairly fast. The clasp on the shoulder strap tends to come loose, but I think that is a safety feature in case of emergency (I just use a large carabiner instead). Very happy with this purchase and I use my solar generator to charge the batteries, so very eco-friendly set up. Would strongly recommend this product!
