you can put .80 in it, it has the notches on the spool. and people aren't using it Correctly. you'll most likely need two batteries for medium sized property and you have to tilt the head to a correct angle for the most efficient cutting. The batteries take about 30 minutes to charge and last equally as long. if you have more than an hour of weedeating, this trimmer is not for you. Upgrade the line and use it properly and it's great for light to medium duty. if you want industrial results, get an industrial machine
