Trouble mowing
I wanted to love this thing but after two uses i have found what other reviewers have found - the base wont stay attached to the trimmer making it nearly impossible to use as mower. Maybe i got a detective model? Any suggestions for how to keep it attached?

Great Idea. A cross between a weed eater and a string mower.

Misleading description
This strimmer/mower is advertised and sold as "corded" but does not come with a power cord. It can't be used 'straight out of the box' and requires additional expenditure to even function. Buyer beware!

love it, has so many functions, most like that I can make the handle shorter and the base makes it so I don't have to carry it to do all of the trimming

Not safe because trimmer won't stay seated in deck
This is dangerous because the trimmer/edger will not stay in the mower attachment. Any change in ground level bumps it out while the trimmer is operating as does weed or thick clump of grass. The trimmer is heavy and it works great but when you are mowing and it comes out without warning, that is a good way to get hurt badly. This has been an ongoing problem with this for several years, and while one reviewer showed how to use an elastic bungee cord around handle and hooked onto the back of the deck to hold it in place, that is not a good solution. I wanted it because at close to 70 and by myself, this would have helped me greatly, but since I am on blood thinner I don't need to use something that is this unsafe.

Better than what I thought
The product came as describe. It was very easy to put together. I had to mow a half an acre and it work pretty well. The only thing I didn't like the lever in the back that controlled the hook to hold edger in rower. The clip that held the edger in place needs to be a bit bigger to hold. Once the mower filled with grass the clip would move and the edger would come out meaning disconnecting the whole unit. But all in all it was a great product..

Great for small areas
This was perfect for my small patch of grass in my backyard. It mowed very well and easily. It edged great and came out great.

Should have just gotten a lawn mower
The base won't stay on at all and the cord gets used up quick. I have a small lawn, so I thought this would be the perfect budget mower, but it doesn't work as advertised and is extremely frustrating.

Loved it - Past tense
Fell in love with this.... at first. After only a year, the string wouldn't advance and the trimmer pops off the base because the clip isn't long enough. What was initially a light, easy to use tool has turned into something we HATE to use. Ine pensive yes, but still not worth it. Told everyone about it. Now I regret that. Actually already posted this review but it's been deleted from this site.

Impressed
So im a totally new home owner and had to drop my gardners because of the budget and saving money so i went looking for a lawn mower and was borrowing my family members but they either wouldnt work or was a pain to transport in my small vehicle so i got this (totally free from my work) and at first i was thinking it wont work my yard is about 100x 100 ft but after using it im impressed i ran it off 100 ft extension cord 14 guage as the owners manual stated and had no problems no breaker popped or hot motor and it cut through wet grass with little struggle . The small cons are the mower deck cant adjust and the weedeater fits somewhat loose in the deck but it works great if your a guy like me who just wants to knock down some grass and doesnt really care about a better homes and garden look. If I had to buy with actual money i probably would go for the cordless model but i cant complain it works well

Amazing Lawn "Vacuum"!!
Our neighbors laugh at this, but always ask where we got it. A town officer almost drove the squad car into our tree trying to get a good look at this and ask us where we got it! ha! We have a huge yard, but part of it is unused and we just grow wildflowers. So we use this to maintain around 1/8th of an acre, maybe a little more. And we use the weed wacker part on the wildflowers and weeds sometimes too. Does it eat through batteries? Yup! But we knew that and had a stack of B&D batteries from our tools and vacuum. So we just do small sections a few times a week. Short answer: Amazing, way better than dealing with corded stuff and/or regular lawn mower maintenance and storage! We call it "vacuuming the lawn" and it works great!

Nice concept, poor execution
The deck that turns it into a mower will not stay attached. At all. Not only that, the string breaks if you look at it sideways. I was only using this on grass that my Landroid didn't get to, so it wasn't being used inappropriately. Not a good product, sorry.

Needs modifications
Bought this product to help assist in mowing a hill. As trying to do this task, the deck attachment kept detaching from sting trimmer, without stepping on the release lever. Also disappointed that you don’t have the opinion of refilling the string, you have to buy a new cartridge of string. Greatly disappointed.

Great combo little lawn mower
I love it. it works great for my little front and back yard. the regular gas or electric lawn mower too heavy for me. My son always cut the yard for me, but he got married and moved out. I really got the hang of this lawnmower. so light, so easy to use. the trimmer did a great job and straight line. my first time using the trimmer. I can cut my yard every week now or whenever I needed. no more rely on my son to cut for me or sometimes he has to go online hired someone got one-time cut. Thanks to Black & Decker

Bad purchase
The mower worked for about 15 minutes, but came apart. I read the instructions several times, but I couldn’t attach the the handle to the deck or adjust the height. The motor hung too low and scalped my lawn! Even when it did work, it cut my grass way too short. Terrible product! Cheap and flimsy plastic too.

Avoid This Product
I thought the trim cord wore away by hitting hard surfaces. I ran out of the original and bought more. In the past the amount of cord I wound around would last 3-4 months. This one lasted 20 MINUTES. It was gone! The whole roll was used up cutting grass in 20 minutes. I have filled it twice and still haven't finished my cutting. The automatic feed must be designed to feed and cut itself off every 2 feet. I was wrong to buy this product.

This mower did the trick, no issues. The cord could be a bit longer, but all-in-all, a great piece of equipment!

great combo
I love the snap on wheels. it did a great job cutting the monkey grass. The string did seem to run out a bit fast, but I haven't used a trimmer in years.

Useful, but trimmer line doesn't last long.
This is easy to use and makes fast work of mowing a small yard. However, the trimmer line included with the trimmer mower didn't last two sessions. My yard is about 40 x 15. So, that's a lot to trimmer spools to buy to complete one summer of growing grass.
