Makita XT287SM1 string timmer, blower, one 4ah battery, and charger. This is $80 off the base price listed at Home Depot and elsewhere. Home Depot will not price match with this vendor (I already tried).

Makita XT287SM1 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 2-Pc. Combo Kit (4.0Ah) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08S38L...A7VRW
I have this unit as well as a pretty decent sized backpack Makita blower and 95% of the time this is the one I reach for.

If you have more than ~0.3 acres you might want an additional battery as 4mah isn't much if you plan to edge driveways then blow, but this is a great combo at this price
It does drain the battery in less than 5-10 minutes of continuous use so one battery is not going to be enough for most who use it on the edger then on the blower.
I already got he blower on the HD sale but this is tempting me to also get the trimmer.
I dont have any attachments for the blower and it works fine as is. The Trimmer had no issues in long weeds and plenty of power. I have a small yard so the 5 amp/hr batteries work fine for me, in the fall i may use two batteries for all the leaves. If you run the blower on high i would estimate 15 mins of continuous use. I could be off by 5 mins.
The multiple speeds on the trimmer is a great feature. I often just use the lowest setting so crap isnt flying everywhere.
