Wonderful product! [Posted on 2007-07-30]
I bought this product after reading the reviews for it--and also because my husband and I are tending to buy all-electric garden products now.
We find the gas-pull start products both exceptionally hard to start, as well as noisy.
For me, this Black and Decker does the trick. I have used it almost every day since I acquired it about a month ago--and am really glad I bought it.
If you know the landscape of your yard and take your time, this product will do what it promises.
However, if you wish to chop through thick, hard woody branches--this is not the product for you.
Follow the product's manual, wear eye protection and take your time and know the landscape of your garden--and you should do just fine.
The only down side I have found with this product is the "bump" feature which is supposed to extend the trimming line out to the right cutting length. I have trouble with that feature--(and always have had trouble with the same feature on other "string-bump" trimmers which I have owned previously--but maybe that's just me). I find the "bump" feature works best on a hard surface.
But, all in all, I am very pleased with this product--and its price.
nice and quiet [Posted on 2007-11-05]
It took me about 5 minutes to put it together. I just plugged in and started trimming and cutting lawn edeges. it is much quietter than gas trimmer and enviromental friendly.
Electric Edger [Posted on 2007-12-19]
I purchased this edger a few years ago. It seemed to work fine at first but, the only issue I have with it is the string. When the last of the string is gone, you have to take a spool of string purchased and pull enough string for this edger and wrap around the spool. The problem is that when you place the cap back on to keep the spool in place, it sometimes pops off when you press the trigger. Once or twice the spool cap popped off and struck me in the face. It was a good thing I was wearing eye and face protection. Don't ever operate one of these edgers without face protection. When the strong hits rocks they go flying. I always tell my wife to make sure our daughter is no where around when I'm operating this devise and that includes my wife too! I ended up buying a gas powered one made by Craftsman.
ONE TIME USE [Posted on 2008-03-22]
This has been a one-time use product. The second time I went to use it it burned up. I guess you get what you pay for. I would not buy this product again.

This is an excellent tool, I have purchased two, the second as a backup to the one purchased last year and still working like new.
