Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I recently purchased a B&D 40 volt lithium trimmer and then was offered this via the Vine program. Since we have a 2nd property, I jumped at the opportunity to try this one out. As might be expected, it isn't quite as powerful as the 40 volt version but otherwise, is very similar in function, weight and appearance. I should also add, I've been putting the 40 volt to the paces and have been impressed by what it manages to handle. My first day out, I used it to trim everything between a bunch of fruit trees in a lot that was overgrown, thick and full of weeds. It cut grass, weeds and even underbrush like a pro. Amazing! So, as I mentioned, this is not quite as powerful but assuming you aren't using it to take down swamp growth but rather an average lawn, it is more than sufficient. The charge takes about an hour (max) and seems to last 30 to 45 minutes. The string does not require a bump which is nice and last through the entire trim without worry. Weight is not problematic although it is not skimpy like some electric versions. The battery is interchangeable with other B&D products of the same voltage (a very nice touch). The entire machine is adjustable up/down to fit short or tall persons. There is a guard on both the front and back to protect self and plants. Overall - great tool. Can't believe we waited this long to try out cordless trimmers but will NEVER go back now that we have!
