Pros

This is our second b&d cordless trimmer and this one was definately a good choice. The battery module has a note recommending that it be charged indoors). It charges quickly. The wall-mount storage holder/charger is great.

The trimmer isn't light, although it's well-balanced. But just as impressive is the general usability of the unit.

The grass hog is an excellent choice for the average homeowner. It does a great job at edging, but it is heavy.

I really was frustrated with other trimmers with bump n' go string methods. One tip that i have found is to take bursts of power on the trimmer instead of holding the trigger down for long periods of time.

This thing does 99% of my trimming! It has a wide cutting swath, so it makes quick work of your trimming. It has an edging guide that steers you on your path.

Cons

Black & decker cordless trimmer is not powerful enough to do a clean job with even basic trimming and edging. The company advertises up to 40 minutes, but after 20 minutes the power decreased to about half, and the trimmer could not cut a blade of... Read More

This is the biggest piece of junk we've ever waster 80 dollars on. Thanks, for not much.

The biggest drawback is the charge only lasts 25 to 30 minutes! It takes a long time to recharge also, at least 6 hours and they recommend 12 hours. It is uncomfortable to use, especially if you have arthritis in your hands. The cheaper electric unit ... Read More

Quality

It is very sturdy and looks like it can and will last a long time.

I use this primarily for trimming grass along my backyard fence and it does a reasonably good job and no battery rundown problems.

Almost like clockwork, my edger, and a friend's, burns-out after about 3 years.

The last black & decker trimmer i had, the cylinder holding the timming line broke off the drive and could not be repaired.

Price

Paid less than 90 bucks for it.

Have to replace battery twice ($15 @ radio shack.

As of this writing, they have batteries in stock for $30 including s&h.

The fact it's cheap, only about $70 bucks, it's convenient, and i like it a lot, i just buy it knowing i'll probably buy anothe... Read More

Competitiveness

This is better that the 18v nicad versions since it can half-recharge and not have battery memory issues.

I've now had mine for 2 years and found it to be better than i'd hoped for.

Its predecessor was an earlier (b&d) model of the same trimmer.
