BLACK+DECKER BESTA510 - 6.5AMP 14IN ELECTRIC STRING TRIMMER

Tried to return the black and Decker weed eater to be told that it was a third party and NO HELP from Walmart. I wanted the battery-operated weed eater black and decker which would be more money which was okay with me. I will now probably go to Lowes to get the product even if it's more money.

This is my second Black %26 Decker trimmer at the past 15 years. Good value for the money. However, as the first one did, the little spring for the automatic string feed feature somehow came off and got lost. Black %26 Decker should design something better for the auto string release. That's why I gave it four stars.

I've used these corded electric single line B%26D trimmer/edgers over the many years of doing my own yard work because they are perfect for me. It's very light weight %26 maneuverable, starts every time I pull the trigger, stops every time I let it go. No loud gas engine noise as I trim %26 edge in record time. No gas or yanking on a starter cord. Only thing I have to watch for is - don't cut the cord, which is quite simple. It's bright orange %26 I'm not color blind. The few times I thought I'd try something "better" I wasted money, time %26 effort. Daddy always said if it ain't broke don't fix it %26 Daddy was right. For under $60 I'm good for 3 or 4 seasons of yard work. As long as I keep my own yard %26 I will NEVER use ANY OTHER trimmer but THIS ONE.

Arrived on time

Starts out working fine but with use, the string feed gets noncompliant. Replacing the string results in string feeding out and getting wrapped around the spool or stuck so it doesn't feed. This results in the spool feed failing.

This item is lightweight with ample power to do the job. What I like the most with black and decker is the parts like spool and caps can be found anywhere at a cheap price.

Put it all together and went out to tackle my weeds. After about 35 min of using it, it stopped working! Turns out when tackling long grass, the string cuts it, but the grass follows the string around and around and wraps up around the motor(where you can't reach it to pull it out) and it just stops spinning around, thereby rendering it useless!! It is nothing like the last one I bought that was practically indestructible ! That one lasted almost 9 years!

This string trimmer works very well. The auto string advance also works well. I would recommend this item.

This is the hardest working little weed eater on the market. This is my second. It is light weight, easy to use and last a good long time.

I used it less than 10 minutes and the string housing began to wobble and burnt the plastic motor housing . Returned it to the store , but haven’t been credited . It’s been 14 days waiting for refund .
