1. Appearance and feel
My wife purchased this trimmer for me, and I personally feel good about the product. It is an attractive tool. The unit has a nice balance to the construction. The controls are simple for ease of use. I am a 6’5” tall guy, so this matters because having to stoop over to use this product gets old quite rapidly. My wife is very observant, and also purchased an extended handle for me, to keep me upright. Game changer!
2. Ease of start
How many videos have you seen where a guy is throwing his gas-powered string trimmer as far away from himself as he can possibly get it due to poor starting issues? The Husqvarna 122L trimmer is so easy to start. I filled it with 50:1 mix gas, primed the carburetor with the manual primer, engaged the choke, pulled the rope, and it tried to start. Disengaged the choke, pulled the rope again, and it cranked right up. I let it warm up for approximately 20 seconds then increased the RPMs to full throttle. Was instantly in love.
3. Ease of use
If it weren’t for occasionally running out of gas and trimmer string, you could probably operate this trimmer non-stop all day. The string spool was designed with such ease of refill. Included is a tutorial video for spool reloading. This trimmer is a bump feed, so when you feel the need, just bump the trimmer head on the ground and it will feed out a bit more string and trim the excess string to the proper length. The trimmer is designed to utilize up to .105” diameter string, so it can tolerate some pretty rough terrain.
Reloading the string spool on the Husqvarna 122L gas string trimmer doesn’t have to be complicated. Gene walks through the spool reload process step by step so you can get fresh trimmer line loaded and get back to work.

4. Tool efficiency
With the smooth start, the ease of use, the effortless string refill, and the lightweight, durable design, I just don’t see how to make a product perform better than this.
5. User satisfaction
The only thing that would make me happier with this product is if it would operate itself.
Gene puts the Husqvarna 122L gas string trimmer to work at T-Bone’s Place, giving a quick real-world look at how it handles, balances, and performs during everyday trimming.
UPDATE: The Husqvarna 122L reviewed here may not currently be available through Amazon. We’re leaving this review up because it reflects our actual experience with the trimmer. If you’re shopping for a current Husqvarna straight-shaft gas trimmer, we’ve included a comparable current option below.
CURRENT ALTERNATIVE
We have not personally reviewed the Husqvarna 130L. It is a newer, more powerful straight-shaft Husqvarna trimmer that may be worth comparing if the 122L is unavailable.
