Customer Reviews:

Reconditioned in this case means USED [Posted on 2008-04-27]
The product was listed as reconditioned but came in as used. Really used. I have purchased B stock and reconditioned items before but never in such bad shape. It looked like it came from a garage sale. I was very disappointed.

Great little trimmer [Posted on 2008-05-03]
Having owned two electric trimmer previously, a cheap Homelite and Black and Decker where the motor is at the bottom, this unit with the motor at the top is a nice feature that was previously found only on gas units. I dislike the mixing of gas and oil of the 2-cycle trimmers, and the heavy weight of the 4-cycle trimmers. I also dislike winding the spool, or buying new spools for it, so having the ability to swap the spool with an aftermarket replacement head with 0.095" line is great. The balance afforded by the placement of the motor on top is a great feature. This unit came with some scratches on the motor housing and the trimmer shaft but other than that functions well. If this unit dies in the future, I can simply either buy another one for $40, or buy a gas one and can still use all the attachments. All in all, I got this trimmer, the edger, and aftermarket replacement head for less than $100. Works fine so far. With the 1-yr reconditioned warranty and the 1 extra year provided by AMEX Buyer Protection Plan, this deal can't be beat. Would definitely recommend this unit.

Run as far away from this product as possible! [Posted on 2008-05-05]
I've had this trimmer for two years (I bought mine new). It does not have a lot of mileage on it; somewhere between a dozen and two dozen jobs. It worked fine for an electric trimmer. The problem came when it ran out of line. Following the directions, I attempted to unscrew the retaining cap in order to refill the spool. I can turn the cap but it won't come off. Thinking that that the plastic cap had somehow become stripped inside, I pried it off. This gave me direct access to the retaining bolt. Nope, the problem wasn't the cap. Turn the bolt as much as I like, it will not come out. Something is stripped deep inside.

So, yes, this trimmer works well and it is fairly inexpensive... IF you don't have to replace the whole unit every time you run out of string.

Worst "reconditioned" item that I have experienced. [Posted on 2008-05-07]
Received the trimmer 5/5/08. First impression: the seller seems to have its own definition of "reconditioned". The trimmer attachment was new but the body was dirty and was partially cracked. Probably the one that I received had been used nearly one full season. If this is a used item that one would find on Craigslist for $25, I guess it would be reasonable. However, the description "minor cosmetic blemishes" is not accurate and $46.99 would be a little steep.

Works great and looks great. I had to really look it over to tell it was actually a reconditioned product.
