[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great light weight trimmer. I have the heavy duty trimmer attachment, capable, but it gets heavy after a while so this lightweight is just what I needed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hello. I just ordered a replacement guard for my 60V string trimmer. I hope the replacement part is built stronger than the one that came with the trimmer. The original guard was flimsy, in my opinion. A big piece broke off soon after I started using the trimmer when I accidently dropped it on the ground and the guard hit the ground. Luckily, the remaining bit, still attached to the shaft, had the cutter on it so I was able to continue using the trimmer for awhile anyway, but it allowed the trimmed weeds and stuff to fly all over the place and hit me on the legs. The remaining bit broke off yesterday, so now the line cutter part is gone and I decided to buy a new guard. On the whole, I like the product and gave it five stars, but I think the guard part could be made better.

I bought this a couple weeks ago. First time I used it, it failed to run a couple times when I squeezed the switch, and had some light smoke coming out of the trimmer head. Just used it today for the second time... After about 30 feet of light border trimming, it stopped working all together, and smoked pretty bad... I thought maybe it overheated, so I let it sit for about 30 minutes... When I tried it again, it acted like the trimmer head was locked up, and smoke came out of the trimmer head, again... Going to contact them Monday, and see what they're plan is...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this trimmer a little over a month ago. I have approximately 400+ feet of trimming to do. This trimmer seems to have the power and Battery power to do the the trimming 2-3 times before having to charge the battery. The actual trimmer I bought was Model BLB479 with a 2 ah battery.
