The best I've tried
I have purchased 3 other electric trimmers over the years, and this one is by far the best. It takes me so much less time to trim my yard because I do not have to turn the unit upside down constantly and pull the string out so that it will work. I never thought that I would enjoy weed-eating, but this trimmer makes it so easy that it is a pleasure!

The only reason I took off one star is that the trimmer is a little heavy for me. I weigh 100 pounds, so for someone who is bigger it would probably not be a problem. My yard is small, but my arms were dead after trimming it. However, I am more than willing to accept this since the trimmer does such a great job overall.

18 V Trimmer
I bought the 18V trimmer. I love the idea of being cordless. It is light and easy to handle. It comes with two batteries which is great because you can interchange them with their other 18V tools. I also have the leaf blower. The tools are great if you have a small yard. If you had to do a huge amount of trimming you would run out of power. I find the only draw back is the batteries do not hold a charge for a long period of time. If you fully charge them and take them off the charger even overnight, you would have to charge it some more in the morning if you were going to use it.

Love it!
I really like this unit. I use one battery for my front yard and one battery for the back. Works great. My only gripe is that it didn't come with the faster charger to start with. Black & Decker FSMVC 9.6-Volt to 18-Volt 90 Minute Slide Style Battery ChargerThe charger it comes with is slow, but B&D sells one that charges in a couple hours.

I have had corded trimmers in the past but I hated messing with the cord. I have also had gas trimmers but I hated having gas sitting around all the time. I also hated having to pull and pull on my gas trimmer and the stink of exhust fumes from the gas trimmer.

This unit is a lot quieter than a gas trimmer too. The batteries switch out with other tools so I am sure I will be buying more B&D products in the future.

I also bought the Remington Cordess Mower Remington PowerMower 17-Inch 60-Volt Cordless/Corded Electric Combination Lawn Mower #MPS6017A. Now I don't have any gas cans in my shed anymore and my yard is totally ELECTRIC!

Great String Trimmer
I'm a 62-year old widow that has a lot of grass to cut and trim. After nearly breaking my nose last year when my hand slipped from the pull rope on a gas trimmer I decided I needed something to make my job easier (and safer). This was just the thing! Nice and simple to use, much quieter, battery life is good plus there is always a spare, it's lightweight and easy to carry around, and no GAS and NO ROPE TO PULL!

great trimmer
I have used this trimmer and it is great for houses. It cuts good enough in tall thick grass to do the job. It is lightweight and feeds line by itself. Two great things in my mind. I have used gas and the cheaper corded versions. This trimmer beats them both overall. The cost through Amazon was great. Thanks
