 Love it! October 15, 2008

This trimmer/edger is light enough to handle and has a battery life that allows me to complete all the yard work around my curbs and fencelines.
No more 2cyc engines!!! October 14, 2008
Mark J. Delettera (Venice, FL)
Just what I needed! Works great for all my needs. I can do my whole yard trimming on one battery charge. No more having to try to start those damn 2cycle gas trimmers again (20 or more pulls!)! Two other BIG pluses: No more smell, no more noise.... gone GREEN! The only (slight) drawback is the lack of power in real thick grass or weeds, but I just take a little more time and it gets through it. Also, I just don't let it get long or thick anymore!
I bought the whole family of B&D 18-volt yard products (blower, pole chain saw, hedgehog and this) and love all of them! And with 5 batteries and 3 chargers now I'll never be out of power!
GO GREEN, BABY!!!
review black & decker October 6, 2008

The Black & decker Cordless Trimmer is great to have. I used the
product 6 times since I got and did better than one I have before.
Now I go places where I did go before when I electric cord trimmer.
I would rcommend this product everyone even people who have gas trimmer.
Less depend on gasoline and more electric.
 Very good trimmer and edger October 5, 2008

First let me say, this trimmer is not going to replace your gas trimmer by any means.
For quick, light duty jobs, the trimmer handled itself very well. I completed my trimming chores on my 1/2 acre yard on one fully charged battery. The trimmer handled grass and thin-stemmed weeds around trees, the foundation, downspouts, concrete patio edge, and uneven brick trim with ease. Another plus the trimmer is light weight. Your arms and back won't ache using and carrying the trimmer around the yard.
The trimming line fed out as advertised and it was a big time-saver not to have to interupt my work session to manually feed the line out like I would two or three times when using my gas trimmer. One word of caution, as the battery weakens and if you bog the trimmer head down in heavy grass, there is an increased risk of line breakage without the new line feeding out properly. I experienced no problem but don't force the trimmer and keep the batteries fully charged.
As far as the noise level goes, the trimmer was much quieter than my gas trimmer. I mean no one in the house was rushing to close their window as I trimmed outside their room.
I was very pleased with how well the trimmer worked as an edger. After completing my trimming chores and without replacing the battery, I gave the trimming head a quick

It was represented as having 9 hours of power. I don't know if they were counting 1 or both batteries. Either way, it ran about 1 hour per battery.
