What Customers Are Saying

The trimmer is considered lightweight and easy to use, with positive comments about its maneuverability and automatic string advance feature. However, there are mixed opinions on its performance and durability. Some users found the battery life disappointing, lasting only 20-30 minutes before needing a lengthy recharge. The automatic spool feed also caused issues for some, requiring manual line feeding. While suitable for light trimming tasks, the product may lack the power needed for heavier duty use, and there were reports of mechanical problems with the line feeder and cap.

Terrible trimmer

Would Not Recommend

Had a Black &Decker trimmer for years, figuring it was time for a new one I went with Black & Decker again. Big mistake! The trim line didn't stop feeding! Used it twice and returned it! I liked that the battery fit my blower!

Do not waste your money!!!!

Would Not Recommend

This is the worst trimmer/edger I've had the misfortune to use. The line does not feed properly and it gets stuck in the casing. I will be returning it.

Automatic feed

Would Not Recommend

It doesn’t work on the automatic feed. This is twice I’ve bought it and it still didn’t work. Other than that it’s good for my small yard. (If I could afford a more expensive one of another brand I’d buy it.)

Self-feeding line is good.

Would Recommend

.065 line is good for small jobs. Battery is compatible with many tools.

Poorly made

Would Not Recommend

Have had to replace every year. Very poorly made. We have small property and this one has not even lasted a season before squealing, the lock to hold extended rod does not hold so it shrinks while using, battery dosen't last long enough to weed eat even small property ...I have B&D hedgr cutters that have lasted years..but this..not worth the money.

Lightweight!

Would Recommend

Love the trimmer. It is light weight and powerful. Have edged every inch of my property. Looks so good. Like that battery can be stored in charger so it is always ready!

Works great!

Would Recommend

So far it works really well! It lost a bit of power when battery isn't fully charged, but since i have 2 others battery (with my drill), it is not an issue at all.

Beware of “returned” packages/products

Here’s the problem with ordering online - when I picked up the trimmer at the store the box looked to be all re-taped (one that I would have passed over on the shelf) like it had been a return. I really needed to use the trimmer the next day so I took it. Well, of course, it had been opened/returned and there was no battery in the package now. I have other B & D tools so I do have batteries and I just used it, and now it’s really not returnable. I know this was my choice, and had I been will...

Disappointed

Would Not Recommend

I've had this product for over a month and just used it for the 3rd time. My biggest complaint is the battery life. My yard is small and I can't get through the whole yard in one charge. It only lasts 20-25 minutes. I have also had problems with the string feeding properly. I have owned a Craftsman weed eater before, and did not have these problems.
