I love my Black & Decker Edger/Trimmer. It's the second one I have owned. I could adjust it to my 5'4" height, and I found it very easy to switch from edger to trimmer. It makes edging and trimming a breeze. Replacing the spool can be a little tricky for small hands, but it can be mastered.
I love the Weed Wacker. I wish the manual had less "boiler plate" items. And the manual should include the figure referenced instead of forcing user to keep going back and forth to the image page (maybe out the figure page at the page before it is referenced. In a nutshell, less lawyer speak and more regular englis.
The wire simply tore off every 3-5 minutes, this is nightmare. I wish there was a stronger wire.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Using my weed trimmer for the first time. I was impressed with how light it was . As far as trimming, it performed well for the size yard that I have. My previous weed trimmer was gas and heavier but this trimmer was just what I needed.. Also, this is my first cordless trimmer. I have used Black and Decker products in the past have have been pleased with how well they performed.
I mistakingly went from another name brand to this Black and Decker 20v mess. Being a woman I wanted something light weight. The kiddo trimmer line does not hold up to edging and takes 3 passes or more to do the job. The auto feed worked for only 1 hour. Come on black and decker, I'm so disappointed
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Instruction Manual Sucks!!! Haven't even used! Can't find location of operating parts on trimmer because it only gives black & white pictures with numbers, but doesn't tell what the numbers are corresponding to! Never saw a manual before in my life that didn't have a list of operating parts with the corresponding numbers so you could tell what the hell the numbers mean!!!

This is my third B & D trimmer. The first one died of old age. The second one, probably still under warranty, the spinner core oddly disconnected from the motor and just stopped turning.And I bought the "mower" attachment for it the wheels are too high (I lowered them) to effectively remove the weeds. For the 3rd bought a few weeks ago, the weed deflector didn't fit on all the way. Luckily I still had it from the second machine which fit perfectly. While I like the device in many respects, I have had issues with them.
Easy to assemble. Easy to use. Only complaint is the safety button doesn't lock into place, so the button has to be held in while squeezing the trigger at the same time.
