Ratings & Reviews for BLACK+DECKER 20-volt max 10-in Straight Shaft Battery String Trimmer Edger Conversion Capable 1.5 Ah (Battery Included) (Charger Included)

great trimmer!

Lightweught, easy to use. Battery charges quickly and lasts.

Not a great product

Automatic spool feed has been non-existent since I purchased this model. I have to feed line by hand which is a real pain. Battery life could be better and charging time is too long.

Piece of junk

The string never advances and just breaks off. Today while using it as I have for the past year, the entire cap assembly disintegrated and sent pieces flying everywhere. Never again, Black and Decker

Very basic

Very nice that it is battery operated vs many many extension cords. The battery has a good charge. The edger itself does not go very deep, does not got through crabgrass well, and the auto cord extractor (?) is terrible. The cord breaks easily and the auto cord replacer (vs older model) is poor. The edger was a gift from my dad after using his, I have used it four times (after last four times I mowed) and I have yet to not have to take of the cap and fix the string. The string was bought on th...

Very weak battery use

I had a Lowe's gift card so I purchased this about-to-be-discontinued trimmer at Lowe's for a very low price. I now know why they are discontinuing it! I have a small patch of grass on my patio (about 16 feet almost square) and the battery almost died nearing the end of the trimming/mowing that small space. If you have any area larger than that, be prepared to stop in the middle and recharge the battery for a few hours before you can continue.

BLACK+DECKER 20-Volt Max 10-in Straight Cordless S

The line is too short with the guard attached so I had to remove it to get more line or it only does about 3 inches of weed trimming.

good edger

Small but perfect for clearing around sprinkler heads.

Black & Decker 20 volt

Very poor performance, self feed continually jams. Cap is very difficult to remove. I am still using the spool that came with the tool. Some times I can go as far as 4 ft before I have to stop, take it apart, rewind the line. The go another 2 or 3 ft and do it over.

Nice trimmer

Does the job. I like the price and that it’s cordless.

Solid, simple, low cost

This item doesn't have the "extras" of the pricier b&d weed whackers (12" size, variable speed, etc.), but it's a simple to use product that can use any existing b&d batteries, spools, etc. For us it's a definite win, as all we use it for is standard weed whacking, and its single speed is equivalent to the higher power setting on other models. Setup is as simple as can be, consisting of attaching the guard piece with the supplied screw, removing the tape that holds the line on the spool, adjus...

Excellent product

Best trimmer I have had. Easy, and most importantly, light weight and powerful. Buy with confidence.

Solid trimmer

This is a good light duty trimmer for small to medium sized yards. does the job well. This trimmer replaced a similar B&D model that had served me faithfully for 10 years.

Positive review of the B & D 20V String Trimmer

I bought this trimmer a few days ago. It is a durable and lightweight trimmer. To my amazement, after I settled and calmed down, it was so easy to operate. I was getting a bit frustrated with the directions until I realized many of them didn't pertain to my trimmer. That's when I sat everything aside, then had it ready to put to work within 30 minutes. I was so excited at the ease of working it that I almost went through the entire yard before stopping. I am so glad I made this purchase.

Deeply satisfied

First trimmer, first time using one, first time trying to do some basic gardening. It's rain season. Grass grows like mad. Figured out it'll be cheaper in the midterm to buy one than to keep paying the cluster's gardener to do it each 8-10 days. And of course, quarantine. Read every single review here before and considered very seriously every comment about the battery life. Thanks to all the previous reviewers, specially those that gave measures or comparative parameters, you were really hel...

Excellent customer service!

I purchased my unit in 2018, well this morning the head exploded. I called in and they are replacing it! Have and will continue to get my business.

Worst battery life and charging time

I would not recommend this to anyone! It takes 8-10 hours for a full charge on the battery then it only lasts max 20 minutes before it dies!!! I would not buy this spend the money and get a better one!!!

Wastes Time

When it works it's great! The problem is that it works maybe 60-65 % of the time. The other 40-35% of the time I fight with the string feed. It's supposed to feed automatically with no manual intervention needed. That's the theory but not what actually happens in practice. The unit is not supposed to be bumped, therefore I'm forced to open the string housing and pull the cord. It's terrible. I'm currently looking for a string trimmer/edger that doesn't waste my time. Also, I get about 15-20 minu...
