Black & Decker 9-Inch 1.8-AMP Electric Grass Trimmer #ST1000

With a $25 gift certificate I got this for less than $10. It was well worth it. I am trying my best to get rid of needless gas motors because two ATVs, a lawn tractor and a mower is more than enough to maintain. I also wanted something that was very light so my wife could use it.

I have 3/4 of an acre of lawn and don't mind using cords to get where I need to. This little trimmer does everything it should. I easily trim around my raised garden beds and this unit is very good for precise trimming around flower beds, etc. The line feed is very easy to use.

I had no issues with shipping, the unit worked and still does. The best part is the local Home Depot had spare line reels for it. Try that with my old Home Lite gas trimmer. It was impossible to find parts.

I'm very happy with this purchase.

Only having a small area that needed to be trimmed I opted for this model and was very pleased with it. Light weight so was easy to manage and did a good job for what I needed.

Very pleasantly surprised by the reliability of this model. I have used a different brand, similar construction and price, an electric and a gas-powered trimmer. And this less-expensive B&D model is by far the least troublesome. In fact, I only had to rewind the spool one time and after that it fed nicely until it was only about 14 inches left. I'm not very dextrous at 'bumping', to eject more string, so I simply swing the head up, depressed the spring and pull out a little when it's needed. There seemed to be no lack of power to cut through some very tough weeds and stems. For the price, I don't know how a person could do better than this model trimmer. And because of its light weight, it's actually fun to use. Being so small, it can get into tight places, really neat'n them up. It's so light, you can control it with one arm, and also, you can easily turn it sideways to trim vertically, whacking off weeds growing through a chain-link fence from your neighbor's yard!

Very happy with the purchase the product is light weight and easy for my wife to handle.

Great and lightweight! I bought this on sale at my local hardware store and love it. My ex keeps borrowing it so I am buying another to give as a present. Cuts great, easy line replace, quiet and takes up little room in the garage. I have owned serveral other brands (all of which have been trashed or given away) This one is a keeper. Great price!
