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)

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...

Weak weed trimmer

This weed trimmer is so under powered it would beat the weeds over not cut them. I returned it after using it one time. And purchased the next one up.

Not for tall people

This is a great tool that does what is promised except for one. It advertised that the shaft is adjustable. They forgot to add that it is adjustable for users from about 5' to 5'7" I am six foot three and to use the tool I have to bend down. This hurts my back. Tall people have to be careful to stand properly. This is not the first Black and Decker tool that is built for short people. I have a B&D lawn mower with an adjustable handle, but not enough for a tall person. What would it take ...

Worst Trimmer Ever

I bought this trimmer based on my great experience with my previous Black and Decker trimmer that finally died. This trimmer is so slow and does not move fast enough to complete even the simplest of edging. I personally never write reviews however this trimmer was so bad I wanted to ensure that I put my opinion out there to desuade anyone from wasting their money on this product.

A Disappointment

I purchased this a few weeks ago from my local Lowe's store, and was super excited about the price and the fact that it was battery operated. I got home, charged it up, and when I used it the first time I thought that maybe I didn't charge it long enough because it was rather weak and it died within 15 minutes of using it. I put the battery back on the charger and let it run for a full day to ensure it was charged ALL the way up for next time. Well, next time came and sure enough the battery ...

Defective spool advance

Im about to return my second one. Neither would advance string automatically....thought the first was a glitch. Nope. This one is same

Very Light & Does The Job

Yes, I'd like a little more power, but this definitely gets the job done. And the 20v battery is nice and light compared to a 40v. I have a small yard, and this is perfect for the minor trimming I do.

Best little Trimmer

I am 60 years old and have a small patch of grass just for my dogs. I had a Trimmer that was old and bulky. This is the most compact and light weight trimmer, and best of all no cords!! It trims my grass perfect!!

Don't buy!

The trimmer is cheaply made and the automatic string advance didn't work

Easy to handle BUT POOR BATTERY LIFE

I purchased mine a couple of weeks ago and thought that when I first used it that I simply didn’t charge the battery long enough but then the second go round, I charged it fully and the battery still only lasted me about 15ish minutes. I’m not happy at all as it certainly makes yardwork much more laborious than it already is.

Never worked properly

I purchased this trimmer a little over a year ago. The string never correctly, automatically fed, leaving me to remove the cap several times to manually adjust. And oddly, the last two times I tried to unlock the trimmer to edge, it was nearly impossible to turn. Finally, it absolutely would not budge at all! Surely this was one that was defective, however, I am really disappointed. My last B & D trimmer lasted several years.

3rd Time’s NOT a Charm

After 2 Black & Decker Hedgehog trimmers that disappointed me, one “bump & feed” and the other an “auto feed” bothe of which ceased to feed at all, so I had to manually pull off the cap and pull out string each time....(lots of Not Fun on a hot summer day!), I decided to get the 20 volt, mainly because I had bought 2 packs of string line refills that were no longer returnable but compatible. Bought it even though the trim radius was only 10” compared to the 12” of my prior model. (And I had fool...

Won’t last long

Bought and used successfully for about a year. Won’t work anymore. Didn’t use heavily, battery seems ok per the charger. Don’t expect it to last

The auto line feed is garbage.

I have to take string cover off and manually advance string 10-15 times doing my yard. You get what you pay for. Should have known better.

Figured out how to get auto-feed to work

After working on this for a few hours I finally discovered how to get mine to feed. The trick was to first pull the trigger all the way and get the head spinning freely full-speed then quickly put it in heavy grass or weeds so that it slows down considerably and then just as quickly pull it away so it speeds back up. Keep the trigger pulled all the way the entire time.

Very Light & Easy to use

I bought this a few months ago, since I had already had some B&D products that take the battery. I am so pleased I did. It def beats dragging my B&D corded around! You wont be disappointed!

came to me used!!

Lowe's...please don't sell me used products, that is gross, with all it's grass and dirt on a ripped up box. Then I'm on a call for 30min and no one ever answers the phone. I don't even know if this thing works. so messed up Lowe's!
