I have used this trimmer for a whole summer now. Even when using the 1.5 amp batteries, I get tons of trimming time. It is powerful enough to do most, if not all trim work that I have around the yard. For the price, I don't believe I ave seen a better trimmer!
It's great, when it works, for edging and trimming around the yard. It converts easily from edger to trimmer, which is what attracted me to it. The battery lasts a reasonable amount of time. However, the really frustrating thing is that it does not automatically advance the string on a consistent basis, and sometimes cuts it off completely. So you have to open the string compartment and refeed or advance the string manually. When this happens a few times in a row, you feel like heaving it into the trash. By the way, this happened with the factory installed string, so it's not how I'm loading it.
I purchased this 20V replacing my 18V BD. Once the 2 batteries were fully charged I'm able to trim my whole yard. I like the light weight and it is easy to replace the string. I would recommend this Trimmer. The adjustable of height is nice.
I own two trimmer/edgers because I like the job they do and how easy it is for me to use them. I am a female in my 70s and I do my own lawn work. People are very impressed with how nice my lawn looks. I can edge around the driveway and sidewalks and, with just a twist of the rod, trim along the edge of my flower beds, raised garden beds, and around trees, sprinkler covers, and other items. The only con is I have is needing two batteries or trimmer/edgers to complete the front and back areas on the same day. I find doing the front one day and the back another day takes care of that problem.
Bought this second hand as I have five other tools that use the same battery, so the proublem with "not having enough battery power is not an issue for me. I now have three chargers and five batteries. Don't think I'll have the same problem that some of the people reviews I've read.
As always a Black and Decker product is worth the money. I use it a lot in my garden and my yard and it does what I expect it to and that's the mark of a good product as far as I'm concerned.
Great trimmer with Black and Decker quality. I'm so happy to do away with the oil and gas in my garage. Stinky and polluting our environment. I can do my whole yard and then some. I bought a older 18v B&D at our church garage sale, and it too performs great at my river house. They are both lightweight, much lighter than my old gas trimmers.
