No problems, great power, great battery

I keep reading about battery problems but after 3 months of constant use and recharging I have never been disappointed. I have a large yard 1/2 acre with plenty of area that needs to be edged and line-trimmed. I keep both batteries charged and I swap them out after about 20 minutes of use (not that I have to but I know that that I need 40 minutes of edging time to get the job done so I switch). If you need an hour of edging time then maybe you should be using a gas powered edger anyway. I really enjoy this piece of equipment.

Still Feeling Trim Two Years Later

The purchase from Amazon was flawless; the trimmer was on by front porch within three days of the order placement. Amazing. Be careful opening the box. I got a nasty paper cut in my eagerness to rip off the box top with brute force. Inside the box everything was expertly packaged and protected with egg carton quality cardboard shell.
Luckily operating the machine is simple because the direction sheet leaves much to be desired. It displays as many languages as a United Nations guide, but all in small print, all directions overly succinct. What you need to know is on the direction sheet but not necessarily easy to find because of a lack of clarity and organization.

The small pictures provided require the use of a magnifying glass. The pictures aren't annotated with text, just numbered sequentially.

So far this handy trimmer has performed flawlessly from one end of Spud Acres to the other. On one charge I trimmed the front beds, the edges of the asphalt driveway, and most of the beds in the backyard. With extra batteries it's a snap to replace a spent battery with a fresh one. With the batteries included with my other Black and Decker cordless yard tools, and the Firestorm 18V battery bought recently, I have 6 batteries for the three tools. Even if a battery is attached to each tool, I still have two fresh batteries on standby on the chargers.

This tool easily rates five stars. It's quieter than my other two trimmers, has more than adequate power for my needs, and is easy to maneuver. At first I thought that the pull down edge guide was a useless gimmick, but it actually works very well. Also the automatic line-feed feature is wonderfully convenient.

NOTES - Be sure to remove tape from the line cutter and the spool. This bit of advice is not mentioned in the directions.
I bought three spools of prewound line when I bought the trimmer, but learned from the directions that one can use bulk line to rearm an empty spool. I like the convenience of using spools ready to use.

I like this cordless trimmer so much that my Echo gas trimmer has been gathering dust in the garden shed the past two years.

Best thing since sliced bread

I love this weed eater. After years of using a gas weed eater and being beat to death with it I ordered this. It only works for about twenty to thirty minutes on one charge but an extra battery is included. It is light and very effective. The best thing about it is that you do not have to bump the spool to advance the plastic string. No more frustration with taking apart the spool to fix the string. It is very light and perfect for a woman to handle. No more numb hands from the vibration of the gas weedeater.

Had to get it fixed first

I bought this trimmer refurbished, and it did not work properly right out of the box - the string was feeding too quickly and would not cut to the proper length. The problem appears to be fixed, but we had to take it to the B&D service center, a real pain. Now that it is fixed, it does what it is supposed to do - trim my grass. Even I can use it and I am 8 months pregnant. So no complaints about the product, but be prepared if buying a refurbished model.
