My wife wanted a new string trimmer. We test a number of other brands and none of them fit her well. In frustration she said I just wish I could get a new version of my old trimmer. That is what we did. She is happy as can be with her new B&D trimmer.

I had an older model for over 15 years. It was amazing but it became difficult to find replacement heads so we decided to get a newer model. It was complete garbage. The motor burned up after 3 uses. My old one did this yard like a champ. I wish I had kept it and never bought the newer model.

I love this corded trimmer! I have all Black & Decker electric yard tools & highly recommend them! I have hand/arm/shoulder/spine issues, so I need the lightest tool option & I am able to use the B&D corded tools. I originally started with a cordless, but the batteries add weight & then I had to remember to charge them - all I have to do is plug in my extension cord with the corded tools & I am ready to go. My yard is a decent size & I don't have a problem with outlets as there's one on each side of the house & in the garage, so my long extension cords cover the entire yard.

There is no wire cord and price is tricky. I thought it is on sale but it is already overpriced.

I tried to deal with this item for almost a year. No matter how I positioned it, the string breaks constantly and hits my legs everytime. I am putting it in the trash because I wouldn't want someone to get hurt using it. I've had several B&D string trimmers before and never had an issue like this. I don't recommend it at all.

I bought this trimmer for fairly light yard work. It does a wonderful job. It does eat string though. I go through close to 1/2 a spool every time I use it. Granted some of the terrain is rocky and uneven.

I have put this puppy through the toughest weeds. It has NEVER let me down. It has always feed line with no issues. I like that it is electric so I don't have to mess with gas. I am a 60 year old woman who wants to go out get done with my yard work and not have to mess with anything. Also it is light enough I can go a long time without taking a break.

I have used it twice. It has done a great job, but with my small yard, it only completed the entire yard once. I contacted B&D and they advised that a part wasn't working properly. They said they would send me a replacement. I look forward to receiving this and will provide additional information once it has been received, installed, and used.

This has been a reliable trimmer. I’d love to try more products by this company. I can trim my yard (which is 5.5 acres) in three batteries. This is truly a solid product.

I have always had Black & Decker string trimmers. As an older gentleman with a disability, trying to start and carry around the heavy gas trimmers was no longer an option. Black & Decker came to the rescue with this awesome trimmer. I have several batteries and I'm able to do to my very large yard with two batteries. I really can't say enough good things about this trimmer and you won't be going wrong if you bought for your lawn care needs. Paul M

Got one at the start of the season and it's kept up being put through the ringer. Very durable and easy to use. Also, it is very light so the arms don't wear quickly.
