comment
" ...  We shopped for quite a while trying to find an electric trimmer that would work for our small areas to weed and maintain. ... We use a commercial grade Stihl gas powered trimmer with .08 inch line for most of the property, but this Black and Decker trimmer works very well for small areas.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Gotta have this thing to finish off my lawn mowing. ... and I think I would have liked the one with the little trimming wheel better.  ...  "
comment
" ...  This trimmer eliminates the lost time with the cord. ... It has only 1 line so maybe it is not as strong as a two line trimmer but it does the job in my suburban yard. ... The battery which comes with the trimmer has enough power to trim my entire yard.  ...  "
comment
" ...  She GREATLY prefers to use this battery powered trimmer versus my Stihl gas/oil mix trimmer. ... As long as you have a charged battery and a spool with line, this trimmer is great for smaller "around the house" jobs on weeds.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I cut my lawn with it.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Best part is I can use it and it doesn’t leave my arms and hands numb and tired like a full sized gas trimmer.  ...  "
