Item : B00004DTNC Customer Reviews Piece of Sheiss by .. Bluhorizonz (New Jersey) Uh, this thing didn't last but two weeks when I had to tape together the bottom. Just normal use. The cheap price obviously was related to a run of these through the factory where the injection mold malfunctioned. QC picked it up and rather than take the tax loss they shipped them with the full knowledge that they would fail under normal use. Black & Decker cordless Trimmer by .. Richard T. White () It's great but it needs an 18 Volt battery instead of 12 Volts; however, it works for me and I would encourage anyone to buy it. The only thing I dislike about this trimmer is the continue replacement of the trimmer line. Have to rewind the trimmer spool too often(line breaks off). I have now loved it for 7 summers.. by .. V. Burnett (Phillips, WI USA) I bought this trimmer in the spring of 2002.. I have used it now for a total of 7 summers.. It does what I ask it to.. to trim the grass that the lawn mower does not. That includes around the house, around 3 decks, around a couple of flower beds, around the motor home, the mail box, some bushes, and around some trees.. Indeed, the battery is near dead when I'm done. But by then it has done what I wanted it to do. Very satisfied by .. Keith J. Maletta (Harrisburg, N.C. United States) I live on a .4 acre lot and was sick of wrestling with cords, plus I couldn't see spending $200+ on a gas-powered trimmer, so I bought this one and couldn't be happier. I can do my entire lot and then 1/2 of the lot again (a week later) on a single charge. Mine came with two batteries, so battery power is not an issue. It changes to edging mode in a flash and cuts well. My only gripe is that the 12" cutting zone is a bit small, but I love this trimmer. I highly recommend it. Very good trimmer!! by .. Mel (Fort Worth, TX) I had my doubts ordering this, but I've been using it for a few month now, and it's the best trimmer I've ever had!! I love it!! I can trim my yard now without stopping every minute to re-spool the stupid roll!! I agree with others about the battery - it dies after about 20 minutes, but I gladly sacrifice that part for excellent performance!!
