Item : B00004RA1Q Customer Reviews Electric Weed Eater Review by .. Kay O (Midwest) Poulan Weed Eater XT114, great weedeater for the price. This product is light weight and easy to use, plus the price is less here than in most chain retail stores. I would highly recommend this item, it's great!! This is a piece of junk by .. Shane Patrickson (Pennsylvania) I purchased the Weedeater XT114 at a local hardware store for some light duty trimming at my vacation home. I realize this is not a heavy duty trimmer, but it is so much less than that. You'd be better off buying a good pair of scissors for $5.00 and saving the $45.00. It just doesn't perform at all. Don't believe me? Try one out and you'll be cursing Poulan for putting their former good name on this worthless piece of plastic. Overpriced by ..

Catheine Heblon (Meridian, Mississippi) I am looking for a weedeater that is easy to use. I have used weedeater in the past and was happy. Do you have a weedeater that is battery operated or one that will start every time it is needed. Sometimes I do not have a long enough cord. I can not cover the areas I need to. Can you, Will you please advise me as soon as possible. I am needing to purchase one as soon as possible. If this rain ever stops. Thank you for your help Catherine WEED EATER XT114 ELECTRIC TRIMMER/EDGER by .. () The Weed Eater XT114 Electric Trimmer/Edger has a lot of power. It is relatively light and easy to manuever. I definitely recommend using gloves and safety glasses with this one. I have found it extremely difficult to egde with this unit. It does not have an edging guide on it like many of the Black & Decker models do. This makes it very difficult to position the unit to edge properly. I find myself hitting the concrete with the trimmer line or cutting grooves in my lawn instead of getting right along the edge of the pavement as would be wanted. The other problem is that when the trimmer line breaks off, I cannot get the line to auto feed back out. Tapping the spool on a hard surface should feed it back out, but I always end up taking the spool apart instead. When the spool is apart, I find the trimmer line melted to itself. I have no idea why this happens. I have tried a new spool and had the same problem. Overall, I like the weight, power, and balance of the XT114 - but next time I will buy a different brand.
