This strimmer is a beast. I love it. It has a lot more power than the worx GT3 (which I would not be without.) I would say that this strimmer is on a par with some petrol strimmers. It is at its best on long grass , dropping it before mowing , or just strumming grass rather than mowing it. If you only want to trim your garden edges the GT3 is the strimmer for you but if you want to down some long grass this is the baby for you. It is compact and powerful with all the adjustment angles you could ever need. I would recommend that if you go for the worx nitro beast be sure to have plenty of battery power. I have a lot of battery's. You will not want to put this strimmer down once you have picked it up. Its that good! ..... Just to be clear both the worx GT3 and the nitro strimmer are in my oppinion maket leaders in there class. The nitro is more of a beast , more robust and more powerful , but I would say that the GT3 perhaps just edges it on finess because it is slightly lighter and only has one cutting wire compared to the nitros two.
