The string trimmer offers a lightweight and user-friendly design, making it suitable for various trimming tasks. Guests appreciate the easy transition between trimming and edging, as well as the automatic line feed feature. However, concerns about battery life and trigger durability have been noted. Overall, it serves well for light to moderate yard work, especially for those seeking a cordless solution without the hassle of gas or cords.

Great little trimmer and easy to use
I have owned this LSTE525 trimmer for about 2 years, the auto feed I love, and the light weight is great. The auto feed stopped working, I replaced the auto feed lever with Black and Decker replacement part, it is sold individually, very common replacement part and it was very easy to replace. I own other trimmer (corded) that also use of the AF-100 line, I like that both uses the same spools.

Average Outdoor Tool
Basic functioning tool.A bit costly for what it does. Nylon spools seem to get used up too quickly.

Super cordless string trimmer
This is one of the best tools I've ever owned ! Surprising long battery charge life and quick re-charge. No hassle line deployment and real easy change from trimming to edging.

Easy to use but under performs
Light weight and easy to handle, but not powerful enough for overgrown grass; battery also does not last long enough to finish the job.

String trimmer,best purchase I've ever made.
Have had this string trimmer/edger for around 6 years. It's still going strong and I still use the original batteries and they still hold a good charge. I have added more batteries to my collection as I have since purchased additional tools including hedge trimmer, chain saw, drill, circular saw, sabre saw, led flashlight, and all of them work flawlessly with no problems. I have never regretted any of my purchases and enjoy using them all. The string trimmer is used on an acre yard weekly for the last 6 years and still works great.

Love the versatility and ease of use
This combo trimmer/edger is perfect for my mid-sized property. I love how easy it is to switch from trimmer to edger and with my purchase of the prewound string spools, I never have any issues with proper self feeding. It does a fantastic job when edging my driveway and sidewalks and by having two 20V batteries, I never have to worry about lack of power!

Weed eater review
Works great but the only problem is have is the short battery life. I have to use three chared batteries to weed eater my yard. It does get the job done very well.

Excellent Cordless B&D Yard Trimmer - GET THIS!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this string trimmer. Quickly converts from trimmer to edger with a quick move. Being able to extend this trimmer to full height is appreciated by a tall person like me (6'1") so I'm not constantly hunched over and my shorter friends and kids can use it too. Lightweight and powerful, allows for a lot of trimming in the front and back yards around the sidewalks, trees, hedges, driveway, etc. Battery holds a long charge, even when set to Max speed. And the flexibility of the 20V Max battery system allows me to quickly replace the battery on the fly when needed (same battery as my drill so that helps, too!!). Best investment I made for the yard.

20V string Trimmer
I have had multiple B & D 20V string trimmers over the years. I have quite a bit of trimming in my yard so they get worked very hard. This one I bought this past summer and is doing great! It does seem to go through more line than others I’ve had but I have learned to keep lots on hand. I stay with the B&as models since all my yard and shop tools can share the same batteries. Black & Decker fan for life.

Very consistent trimmer every time.
I have owned this trimmer for about 5 years and it has been consistent every time. Charges well, lots of power for all weeds and long grasses and battery life has been more then sufficient for a big property. You should not be disappointed.

Terrible design
Bought this in 2019 and the bump design is the worst design I have ever experienced. The string gets tangled in the spool and you have to take it apart and remove the string and rewind new string. I will never buy another Black and Decker trimmer again.

Not Durable.
Used it about 4 times. Grass kept getting inside the trindle, jamming. On the 5th time I used it the gears jammed and the trindle will not turn. I think the gear is stripped. Cannot find any manual to show how to fix it. Junk. Waste of money.

Works great when new… But…
After a few uses it no longer feeds line with AFS. I manually open up the spool cover and have to feed line manually. There is no dirt or grass blocking the spring loaded feed system. It just quits feeding line.

Guard cover on weed trimmer.
The guard cover won’t slip on easily, or evenly, so afraid I will break it by forcing it on. No instructions, just a bunch of number, and can’t find guide for those numbers.

The batteries lose their charge after just a few minutes of trimming. I do not recommend buying this product.
