Excellent move from a Ryobi

After my 15-years-plus Ryobi finally faltered (plastic fuel lines crumbled) I decided I would not accept the vibration, noise, and pollution of another gasoline-powered trimmer (I blame my Raynaud's condition on the Ryobi). I did actually buy a smaller, lighter-duty B&D cordless trimmer before buying the NST2036, and that is now my backup, until I can spring for a 2nd battery for the NST2036.
The NST2036 is a really nice, well-built, smooth, solid machine. It handles the same jobs as my old heavy-duty Ryobi did, but with no pollution and much less noise, but still some vibration. Yes, I feel battery life is always too short, but I can stage large jobs to accommodate that. I have heard of issues with this machine stopping unexpectedly, but when it has happened to me, it has either been solved by reseating the battery or is an indication I have used all the charge and the battery needs recharging.
I look forward to many happy years of use of this machine. Of course, paying just under $150 for a machine that listed at over $450 has helped me work through learning about the unexpected stops....

This could be a great trimmer

The power of this trimmer is surprising for a battery powered unit. I am very excited to leave behind the hassles of a small gas engine.

This would be a great trimmer except for a few oversights
- The shaft is not long enough. I am 6 ft tall and have to stretch the unit far forward while trimming. This imbalance is tough on my back after only a few minutes. I wish it could have the same dimensions as a professional gas trimmer.
- The center hand hold bar should be circular for holding the trimmer at 45 deg or angle other than 0 or 90.
- The battery charger does not indicate if the battery is connected or not and does not accept the battery easily. Mine has a small misalignment of at the connector pins and is very difficult to fully connect. The LED indication for a charging battery is the same as that for a disconnected battery.
- I'd like to be able to adjust the string lenth a little longer, but the shorter length does allow getting into tighter spaces.

Powerfull

More powerfull than I thought, since it's electric. The battery is also very long lasting. I trimm my 4100 ft every week and I charge it every other time. I'm very happy with it.
