Ratings & Reviews for BLACK+DECKER 40-volt max 13.0-in Straight Shaft Battery String Trimmer 2.4 Ah (Battery Included) (Charger Included)

Lowes description is not correct

Description says Fast charger (about 1 hour) included standard. The unit I received does not have Fast charger. It has the standard SLOW charger (about 4 hours) Slowest charger Black & Decker has. Trimmer is much lighter than my gas trimmers, and does great for fast clean up jobs. Problem is, with 4hrs charge time I can use the gas trimmer, mower, leaf blower, be finished, and sitting on my patio with a glass of tea, and the B&D battery is still charging.

Cheep plastic parts

I used this trimmer about six or eight times and needed to add new line took off the spool and found the cheep plastic line feed lever was broken so I called B&D they are sending me a new one be trimming again in two weeks...

Black +Decker Toaster & Air fryer

I haven't used her yet but I'm really excited about this product.. It has so many options to cook.. I bought it because Black +Decker is a name you can trust

Did Not Last

Bought this last spring. Battery started to lose charge quicker and quicker. After 3 months of use. It no longer starts at all.

DO NOT BUY!

This is one of the biggest pieces of crap I've ever bought. It worked for maybe ten seconds brand new out of the box, and is apparently dead now. This is likely the last Black & Decker product I'm buying.

Long charge. Easy to operate. Lightweight. No tapp

Never a problem. Bought a second one in case production stopped.

It Was Working Amazingly until the battery died.

I just bought this product yesterday and I used the timmer for about 25 feet and the edger for about 150 feet. It was working great, I was going to show off my new toy online but it died before I was done. I got this because I wanted to try something that I didn't have to mess with gas and oil, but I would have gotten my work done. Otherwise, it worked great.

Waste of money

Purchased in August 2016, within a year, it died. Replaced under warranty in 2017, again died. Replaced again in 2018. Now warranty has run out and it is September 2020 and motor is on its way out. Very disappointing as I liked the weight and ease of use. Will not buy a Black & Decker product again.

Worst B&D product I have ever owned

I have gone through three of these things. Each one has died after about a year (at best) of light use....I trim a small yard about twice month for six months of the year. The rest of the year it just sits. Even when it was running, the line feeder is horrible. Their customer service people have been nice enough to replace it twice, but the problem is the product is honestly junk. Why keep sending someone the same thing when you know it is a bad produc? It does NOT address the issue. Look the ...

Don’t buy this trimmer

I have had 4 of these trimmers in less than 2 years. I don’t have that much to trim but the drive in the spools keep burning out. Starts making a grinding sound and then it smokes it. The only reason I kept going back and getting the same one is because the batteries are so expensive, had way to much money stuck in it.

Did not last

I’ve been using this weed eater for about 6 months and the motor gave out. Not up to the Black and Deckers usual durability, I’m sad to say.

stopped working

I bought the 40V B;ack & Decker cordless trimmer last year and thought it was the best thing ever for my yard because it was lightweight and easy to use. The 2nd time I used it this year, it quit working! I have 2 good batteries for it and neither will get it to work. Maybe a bad switch, I don't know. I sent Black & Decker an email with my problem and hope they can help. Unfortunatley, I don't have the receipt any longer.

LST136 EXCELLENT!

I have had this trimmer (LST136) for about 5 years now and I love it! It’s lightweight and the battery charges fairly quickly! The battery runs for approx 30-45min on one charge(same battery I’ve had for 5 -/+ years!) if you turn the dial all the way up it WILL run out faster! But I live in the country and have more than just regular grass to trim and it still lasts around 30min on one charge on medium setting and unless you’re trying to trim briers or baby trees medium setting is fine. The stri...

Great weight and size

This is my third summer with this unit before I over worked it and needed another. Realized I got an 20V instead of this one. Returning to get the real thing because this one is awesome for this 65 year old ambitious lady who loves to work in the yard. Absolutely would recommend!

Original battery life sucks

Battery failed to charge after 4 or 5 uses and the battery date is from 2017

Tried the rest, now I have the best...!

I have had this 40 volt Cordless String Trimmer and It is the best...! I have had a lot of units like Craftsman, and gas units. They are all junk...! My 40 Volt Black and Decker works every time and always does a good job. I cut my grass, my daughters grass and her friends next door. The unit last about 30 minutes on a 2 hour charge. I have two batteries. I love it, and will buy another one when the time comes. I use it 3 times a week and I have a very big yard.

Only last 1 years with not much use

Worked fine, but eats string. I used it a few times in 2019 and used it once this year and the second time the motor simply died. Battery is in good shape. Appears to just be a piece of junk. I had an older B&D trimmer which was electric and it lasted many years until the plastic cover shattered last year.

DANGEROUS

This is by far the worst yard tool I have ever owned. The head constantly lets out way too much line then cuts it off and sends shrapnel flying into your legs and/or face. Extremely dangerous, would never let my son touch this thing. It is now in the trash.
