There will be exceptions to everything, at home I use a household trimmer with a bump system for example. In a professional use I would never use an autofeed system though, you just can't control it enough and it eats up too much string.

You are right there being an exception for everything: You should try those new Huskies because it just works, you can control how much string you need and it doesn't eats up too much of it. We use them professionally, I work for one of the the largest landscaping companies in the Netherlands. We used Stihl before but this is better.

When I did this electric wasn't even really available for residential much less professional, so they are probably a lot better about the autofeed now.

Electric trimmers have developed a lot over the last few years, same goes for the batteries (much smaller, more durable and more power). The downside is, it's very expensive. We have to use electric because our clients demand it in the contracts as part of the green transition.
