BLACK+DECKER 20-Volt MAX* POWERCONNECT Cordless 2-in-1 String Trimmer and Edger with Battery and Charger, LST300

Perfect for a senior yard lady 7 lbs and lasts about five years with indoor storage and cool environment for battery storage. I've been there for about 10 years using batteries and love it. FYI if you have a lot of trimming and edging you may need up to 4 or more batteries. But I would at least buy another 2 batteries and they hold a charge while storing. Also don't drop your battery on concrete, because that can cause a battery to fail.

Plenty of power. Successfully replacing the line and having the auto-feed feature work has always been a challenge but purchasing pre-wound spools by the six pack has been a game changer, making this tool easy to use.

Great weed eater for my husband who is recovering from back surgery. He usually uses a gas weed eater because we have 3 acreas. Light and efficient!

Assembly was real easy and consisted of pushing the plastic guard into a slot (1 screw) and attaching the D shaped handle (1 bolt). Just the ticket for what I needed. Very happy with it. Light enough in weight to be comfortable. This trimmer does what it's supposed to do, decent price too. Great product. I love doing the edging with it, you can never do it wrong.

I love this weed eater. I have never been able to effectively handle a gas powered weed eater because of the weight. This weed eater is light but does an excellent job trimming. I trimmed at our lake cabin and then at our main house and the battery is still strong. I am 70 years old but very active and do not mind yard work. This tool is great!

Works great for light trimming. I was sick and tired of running through gas powered motors every couple of years so I decided to try this one because the battery is interchangeable with a Black & Decker drill I already had. Pros light weight, about 45 minutes run time on one battery, super quiet Cons takes about 5 hours to recharge, only has a one string feed so it won't cut through very tough grass quickly In my case, I keep all fence lines, bushes, tress, etc., sprayed out so I only need light trimming. This is perfect for me. But if you have tall, thick grass or a lot of trimming, go with the power of a gas trimmer.

I bought Black and Decker because I use the 20v battery for several shop and yard tools. The trimmer is easy to use with some minor annoying flaws such as the lower handle not locking in well. Walmart had a better price than Home Depot , Ace, and Lowe's.

I have had multiples of this item over the years. Is it reliable? Yes, mostly. If you use it to trim %26 cut grass throughout the year with a reasonable amount of effort, then expect no issues - it's great, and it will last you a long time. If you try to overwork it on very thick grass or weeds for excessively long mowing sessions, the motor WILL burn out. Don't let that discourage you from buying it, just be aware of it's limitations. It's is a great affordable consumer grade tool, and for 90% of residential users it will absolutely get the job done for many years. Just don't try to overwork it. B D has been good at replacing this item under warranty when it fails.

It's definitely a light duty yard tool for a homeowner. The head is very tight to assemble. I thought it was broken at first but it did click together aftera little wiggling.

FedEx shipping is why I'm giving this 1 star, if I could I would give zero. FedEx seems to have the motto, “You'll get it when we say you get it, wherever we want to put it.” 3 times in one week FedEx has delivered my Walmart shipping items, this one was left in front of my neighbour's garage IN THE RAIN. I love Walmart, but can no longer do this with FedEx, who also left a shipped laptop propped up against my mailbox at the end of the driveway IN THE RAIN. Black and Decker trimmer is great, but I would buy it elsewhere or purchase in store at Walmart. Don't leave yourself at the mercy of FedEx.
