I'm a fan. My wife kept using one and finally got me hooked once the batteries got big enough for power and time. Heck, I've got a battery power pole saw and a small chain saw, a blower with lots of volume and the whole dewalt kit of tools. I can't imagine going back to gasoline power for the small tools. The later model pickups can even charge them in the field so that excuse went away.

I have the multi head unit that will run multiple attachments, and the hedge trimmers. I’m thinking of adding a chainsaw to the mid too.

I have a Milwaukee trimmer, blower and drill that use the M18 batteries. I have Dewalt stuff too but the 18v batteries I have are dying and I'm not replacing them. I do have the 20v Dewalt drill and it is a nice addition to the tool chest. The 18v Milwaukee will eat that Dewalt.
I was sold on Milwaukee by this:

Borrowed a Milwaukee string trimmer last weekend and my back was hurting from leaning over within a few minutes. Not sure which model I used but it seemed awfully short and I'm only 5 ft 8. Had to go over patches of weeds several times to get it to cut down. I did like the button push string feed.
