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 long recharge. The automatic spool feed also caused issues for some, requiring manual line feeding. While suitable for light trimming tasks, others felt it lacked the power needed for heavier duty work. There were also reports of the trimmer breaking down after a short period of use.

don't waste your money
Would Not RecommendI am a 62 year old woman. I do all the edging and my husband mows the lawn. I had to finally replace an old trimmer and bought this based on reviews. When I picked it up in the store a guy in line told me how much I would like this. I was pretty excited! Two things I do like about it is it doesn't weigh much and it's cordless. I don't like the auto feed at all. It feels like I need more line to cut anything. It is not powerful. Took me forever to do my tiny yard. My scissors could do a better jo...

Not bad
Not bad trimmer for a battery one. Is lightweight that even a person with with problems will be able to use it. Battery does not discharge that fast. All depends how you use it.

Well engineered string trimmer
Would RecommendI have been using these B&D weedeaters for about 10 years now. They are the best buy on the market for light grass and weed trimming around an ordinary yard. They are very durable and use batteries sparingly. You can get the replacement trimmer line spools and generic replacement batteries on Amazon very cheaply. They are do very well at edging. Now if you have a lot of high grass or weeds they aren't the way to go. You will need a bigger motor and heavier string. Another thing I like is ...

Good value for the money
Would RecommendThis trimmer is perfect for my 1/3 acre and it does the job nicely. It's more reliable than my hard to start bigger gas trimmers. It will run about 15-20 minutes on a charge and can be recharged relatively quickly should you need to continue. Satisfied with the puchase.

Ooooweeeeweeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
Would RecommendThis bad boy can do some damage!!! I wasn’t expecting the power this sucker puts out! Now, this model isn’t for heavy duty jobs, but for a small yard that always needs trimming...its right on the money. I haven’t even changed out the spool of string yet!! I love this thing!!!

Spool screw up when trying to edge
Would Not RecommendWorks great for weed eating. However, every time we try to edge with it, the spool comes unraveled and a big mess. Would not recommend it at all , if one wants to edge. No complaints about the weed eating, except my wife has a hard time getting the string to advance. She did not have this problem with the older one we had.

Automatic Feed Rarely Works
Would Not RecommendBought this item 2 months ago. I haven't had trouble with battery life, but the automatic feed is a joke. It rarely ever works. Even though B&D doesn't mention that you can still feed line by tapping the string container on the grass it appears that you can although I have had trouble with this as well.

Edger
Would RecommendWe wanted a trimmer/edger that could handle our yard which is not big, but I have a lot of sidewalk to edge. This does the job great, the only downside is I wish the battery lasted longer, but we will just have to get a second one.

Better buy at least one extra battery
Would Not RecommendI have not even half an acre of land and this string trimmer will not do half my yard on one batter. When I first purchased this item, it worked well the first two times I used it and now the battery doesn't even last 10 minutes. I am, however, impressed with the light weight of it, but that is about the only thing I liked about it. Maybe I just received a bad battery, because all of the reviews I read before purchasing was good. But all in all, I was not impressed by this.

Not so great.
Would Not RecommendI bought this about a month ago and it's just okay. The string is supposed to come out on it's own but it didn't. It had to be pulled out manually. I contacted customer service and they were amazing. They replaced it immediately. However, the new one does the same thing. It still doesn't work right. Also, the batteries have a very short life. There are a few good things about it. It is light weight and easy to use. It works well before the battery dies and you have to stop and manually pull out ...
