 Black & Decker TrimmerNov 07, 2009
My husband loves this! He's been trying for four years to find just the right trimmer, and he's sure this is it.
Great Cut Up!Nov 03, 2009
I bought this to try and I like! Works great trimming curves and sidewalks! Light duty...powerful worker! Battery life better than expected! I highly recommend this product and seller!!
 Toy or tool?Oct 28, 2009
LISTEN UP! I read all the reviews all over the internet and they are very promising; this product proves that ratings are not always reliable.
I purchased this a a major retailer and had no problem putting it together; charged the batteries for the 9 hours as instructed, then went out to see how it worked. It spins fine and makes real sound effects, but CHOKES on the smallest amount of grass. You can tell by the immediate change in pitch of the motor.
I teased my wife and told her we would keep it and give to our 5 year old as a toy..LOL. We would remove the razor blade and the string line first, but SERIOUSLY. This is weak at best. I purchased this because I have gone electric or cordless because of my degenerate disc disease all along my spine. It is easy on the spine, but lacks any backbone.
Now I'm back to the reality of looking at the dreaded corded for my residential neighborhood yard (3/8 acre). If I go this route I recommend the Stihl FSE60.
I have checked it out and it is solid and well balance and comes with a shoulder strap and can maneuver it with one hand, which might be good so you can keep the cord in the other. Also, the spool is the easiest, you stick the new line in and turn; do not need to remove the spool. Also uses an thicker .080 line, which is another plus and runs about $119.00.
"Comparison tests show that the Stihl FSE60 is one of the few electric string trimmers that perform as well as gas trimmers in its price range, even for handling tall grass and weeds. Yet it's not only far quieter and better for the environment, but also costs less to maintain and operate. The downside is that the user's range is limited to the length of an extension cord -- with this trimmer, that's up to 200 feet." - consumersearchdotcom
