 Light weight but does the job super well September 3, 2010

I love my new trimmer - the battery goes and goes and does a superlative job. I have a torn rotator cuff and can't lift heavy products. I just love this, not to heavy and does a really good job of trimming. Excellent item, no bumping for the cord to come out. Buy one, you won't be sorry.

Works great for a battery operated tool. It has more power than I expected it to have. I also was VERY PLEASED that it came with 2 batteries!
I'd buy this item again in a heartbeat and have already recommended it to others.

Who could ask for anything more? Great battery life, powerful cutting power - with 2 batteries, to boot! This trimmer does a fine job. And the batteries can be used in other Black & Decker 18 volt cordless devices.

I have owned a number of different gas powered trimmers and they all were more powerful than this B&D electric trimmer, so as many other reviewers have stated, if you are doing a big area, or using a trimmer a lot, perhaps this is not the right choice for you.
I was on the fence about it myself, but when my last gas unit konked out, decided to give it a shot and I'm happy I did. My property is about 1 acre and there is a good bit of trim work to do, but I've had no trouble finishing the job, usually on one battery. A couple of times, when cutting through heavier growth, I did have to switch batteries and it's nice to have the other ready to go just in case.
Other reviewers thought the batteries didn't last very long...maybe 15 minutes of running time. I was very careful to follow the instructions when charging them initially and have found I regularly get more than 20 minutes per battery pack. This unit uses a single filament cutting line which does a decent job if you take your time, but it only does a relatively narrow swath, so trimming tends to take a little longer.
Not playing with gas and oil or the stink of 2 cycle exhaust or fussy hard to start gas trimmers is a pleasure. Now I just pick up the Grass Hog when I need to trim something and squeeze the trigger...works every time with no fuss. The batteries are a little heavy and unit seems a bit heavy/unwieldy to me so it's just as well the battery life limits how long you can use it. There's no support strap to take weight off your arms/shoulders.
Overall, I'm very happy so far with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone in the market for a cordless electric trimmer.

I guess for 99 bucks you can't expect too much.
The trimmer does a good job of trimming, and batteries aren't too bad. The plastic guard leaves a lot to be desired. It comes in 2 pieces you have to assemble and install on the machine. When using it for the first time the guard flew apart and stipped the screw holes. I used Gorilla glue to put it back together. Hope it holds!
Good job BD?!
