Too light weight and prone to have cord problems.July 30, 2010 Retired Homeowner I've had this trimmer for less than 5 years and I've always had trouble with the string getting trapped - take the spool apart and refeed. Two weeks ago it started turning super slow, so I tested the voltage of the charger and the battery and found the battery was bad. With this model you have to take upper part of this unit completely apart to remove the battery, which costs $27.00 at the local battery store. I tried the Black & Decker website and it's not listed. Not worth replacing, only to have small change when I get it running.
Good valueAugust 15, 2009 Anonymous(USA) This is the second one we purchased. We wanted two because the battery power doesn't last long enough to edge the entire yard. Other than that- it is a great edger.
Trimmer and no electric cord.July 10, 2009 Kobedude(Los Angeles, CA) What I like about this trimmer is I can trim the lawn without putting an electric cord out. This way I do it anytime I want. I keep it plugged in all the time. It works best with the supplied string rolls. When I wrap the string myself, it doesn't come out right and keeps stopping.
Pretty good item.....great for the priceJuly 23, 2008 J. Weed Item works very well and one charge of the battery lasts a relatively long time. I had to remove the guard in order to have more than 2.5" of string actually cutting at once.
Black & Decker cordless electric stringer trimmerJuly 8, 2008 I. E. Wagoner(midwest Illinois) I am not sure how to answer this. Do not know if it is my problem or
the Stringers. Have trouble with the string breaking. Glad it is easy
to reload. Is light weight and easy to use for the most.
