Black and Decker 3.5 Amp Corded Electric String 2 in 1 Grass Trimmer and Edger

The Black and Decker string trimmer chosen because of the the brand and low price. It is a no frills trimmer - exactly what I want. I do not install the guard because I like to be able to trim from many positions - sometimes from the back of the trimmer. I like that there is no safety thing to operate when starting the machine. Just squeeze the trigger and go.. It is very light weight. It is designed to bump it on the ground to feed out more line. In the past I found that that method did not work and all that bumping damaged the machine. I stop, push in the bumper button and pull out the line. Easy to do, works every time and does not damage the machine. I also have a battery trimmer. It is handy but battery is done after about 30 minutes. I like the corded much better.

The black an decker weed eater is light weight and easy to use.Great to use if you are a women like me.Easy to put string on and the bump feed is great.No need to buy spools from the store that are pre strung.Saves a person a lot of money.

Great little weed eater. It is a lot lighter than our gas powered weed eater, so I use this one and my husband uses the gas one. It trims right through the grass and weeds with no problem. We've had a lot of rain lately and the dense grass bogged the trimmer down a little, but it still did its job. I've had the trimmer almost a year now and can say I'm happy with it.

I've only used it a couple of times but it seems to be the best I've had. I read a review that complained about the fixed position of the handle but for me it is no problem. My wife gave it a short tryout and gave a thumbs up. Very light and easy to handle plus it does a great job trimming the weeds.

This is a great, straight forward trimmer. Good power and easy operation. Standard bump line feed makes it easy to use. No goofy, problematic dual line stuff. The only drawback is the small string spool. With standard operation, you'll be replacing the line in the spool every 30-45 minutes. Quite easy to do however, so not a big deal.

I used this electric trimmer once on my front & back yards and it works well. I have to get used to dragging the electric cord behind me, but this is a small price to pay for assurance that the trimmer will start. Also, this trimmer is much lighter than the gas operated models and it is easier to carry and use. The price is unbeatable and if this trimmer lasts for even one summer, it will be worth the price. Also, delivery was faster than promised. Can't get better than that!

I would definately recommend this weed eater. I needed something to plug in and go! This was perfect! It cut the weeds too! Buy a 100' cord to go with it to do your whole yard.

I bought this same trimmer 12 years ago for a dollar at a yard sale. I have used it about once a week since then, but the bottom plastic parts finally wore out. Motor still works fine tho. Thrilled that they still make the same one!!! Love it.

Great deal for the money. It's very powerful. You have to watch out for the cord when you're cutting ( supply your own cord), but it's so much better than the more expensive battery-powered weedwackers.

This trimmer was a great price & its light weight also. But when I turned it on & ready to do some yard work it was loud. It also had an extreme vibration feeling. So much that my electricity cable kept coming off. Even though I had the cord hooked up to the slot on the handle. The cable cord stayed connected to that slot but where it gets plugged into the trimmer kept coming off. I was so frustrated that I got a little rope to tie the cable around the trimmer handle to hold it in. I decided to return it either way. I didn't want to have to do that all the time. I don't know if mine was defective but I am looking for a different trimmer.
