Summary of reviews
This trimmer is appreciated for its lightweight design and ease of use, making it suitable for various trimming tasks. Guests enjoy its ability to switch between trimming and edging, and the automatic line feed feature is a highlight. However, many express concerns about the short battery life, which limits its usability for larger areas. Overall, it serves well for light-duty tasks but may require additional batteries for extensive yard work.

Trigger mechanism design fault - otherwise good
4 out of 5 stars

originally posted on blackanddecker.com
Have used a variety of B & D tools for many years and have been generally well pleased. My B & D 20V Max string trimmer (LST522) gave up the ghost this afternoon due to the trigger not fully engaging. From reading other reviews I see this is a relatively common problem and is not owner repairable. Too bad. I used it almost weekly for 3 years. Needs a trigger design engineering fix. Otherwise, a good product. Seems too soon to break especially since I’m a light and careful user. I appreciate your responsiveness to issues.

Easy to use with very little setup. The automatic string feed by pushing button as needed is smooth. This is my second B&D trimmer in 9 years. The two rechargeable batteries last until my trimming is complete.

I am 87yo and just had my first use of this product at my 2nd home in the Poconos. I am 5'8", 155 lbs. The ground is rocky and not flat with "natural" grass. Cut the grass around the drainage ditch in front. Of course the first use took a while to get comfortable, but it did what I needed. My only wish is that the LOCK button was bigger since I was wearing heavy leather gloves and a larger button would have made its use easier. Also, I have lost a lot of muscle mass in the past 3 years, especially in my arms which has not helped A niece also has this product.and she likes it a lot. This model replaces a 30yo B&D that used a 100 ft. long electric cord and gave out while cutting lots of very tall grass that should have been cut much sooner..
Poor battery life

This trimmer works well at both speeds for trimming grass. However the battery life is horrible. I barely get 15 minutes per battery; it came with two. Recharging takes several hours so I cannot reuse them the same day. I have tried to find a longer lasting battery for this unit but have not been able to do so. For this reason, I am disappointed in this purchase.

My mother likes these trimmers for light weight and ergonomic design. Unfortunately, the timmer package must have sat in inventory for years. Both included batteries were dead flat and would not charge. I raised the voltage enough to get them charging and they charged but one still gives errors and the other is maybe half capacity. She is using her old batteries. I did not try to return or ask for any remedy.

Good idea, poor execution

I’ve had toys that are better made than this tool. The plastic “trigger” mechanism wears down until it no longer makes contact with the tiny little button it needs to activate in order for the trimmer to work. This was a good idea in terms of functionality- like the ability to switch to edging. But for the money, the trigger - the most important part - shouldn’t wear down so easily. It’s a simple thing to fix if B&D would take the time to do so. When it stopped working I opened it up and was stunned by the poor quality of its components. It gets two stars for lasting as long as it did.

Loved the trimmer for years, so I have an older model. I did by replacement batteries online during this period & helped with the run time with more amps. I found as someone else did the trigger has issues & stopped fully engaging. Had to wiggle, etc. Intermittent. My husband took it apart and sanded down the inside plastic many times to get it to re-engage. It think it's a design flaw. It might be the last time he is going to adjust it. Its the only way it is still working.

Lighter weight, powerful battery, shorter shaft makes for very comfortable trimming experience. I'm only 5'4" tall and this trimmer saves a lot of strain on my arms and shoulderd.

I received my String Trimmer/Edger when I needed it . It did not take too long. The item came in in great shape with the 3 rolls of string and 2 batteries. I immediately got to work in order to try it out. It was very light and quiet. I love my String Trimmer. Thanks Black & Decker.

The line feed on this product does not work. Today was the last straw. I went about 50 yards and went through two spools of line. This machine was just purchased at the end of last summer because Previous craft, Black & Decker trimmer stop starting when I press the button. I don’t know what has happened to the quality the first one I own lasted me several years and now I seem to be buying them every season and they’re getting worse. I’m done.

The description of the product "power through overgrowth and heavy weeds" doesn't truly describe this weed eater. It only has one string doing the job rather than 2. So it takes more time and battery. Fully charged batteries do not last long enough to do the job on a small subdivision lot. Would love to return it but I have used it several times. Trying to adjust to it's lack of power.

Had mine for about three years. This year the first failure was the string base. Easy fix. Now the trigger isn't engaging. It started acting up earlier this year where once in a while it wouldn't start, release the lock and try again. Now nothing.
