Product Description

The Black and Decker 9-inch 12-volt cordless string trimmer and edger is a lightweight (7 pound), powerful and easy-to-use cordless string trimmer and edger. It features a 9-inch cutting width and features the exclusive Automatic Feed Spool (AFS) system that automatically advances the cutting string as need using centrifugal force, so no bumping is required. This cordless string trimmer has a powerful 12-Volt battery that works with a gear-driven motor to allow you to easily power through heavy weeds, grass, and overgrowth. The battery is rechargeable, gives you plenty of run-time per charge, and comes with a wall-mounted charger for convenient overnight charging. This cordless trimmer/edger is very quiet, effortless to start, and requires no gas, oil or tune-ups. The Groom'N'Edge head rotates 180 degrees to convert the trimmer to an edger and back again in a matter of seconds. Used as an edger, the flip-down edge guide assists with edging along sidewalks and driveways. A secondary handle adjusts for increased comfort and control. A lock-off switch prevents accidental start-ups to ensure safe usage every time. A 30 day no-risk satisfaction guarantee and full 2-year warranty are provided.

I've had this edger/weedeater for over a year now and have never had any problems with it. I have a 1/3 acre yard with a normal size sidewalk. After mowing I edge the sidewalk and driveway as well as weedeat around my shed, garden, and several trees and it has never died mid-job. I keep it plugged in otherwise in my garage and it's worked great every time. It doesn't do as good a job as just an edger as the electric edgers are designed to do, but for the price and to be able to use it as a weedeater as well I have zero complaints.
We love it!

This trimmer works very well for us. It's so handy not to drag an electric cord all over the yard! Our yard is 63' x 261' so this is just perfect for us.
loose screw in guard
 
Review Date: October 6, 2009
Reviewer: Sandra Knight, Brownsville, Texas
I bought two of these edgers, i have 3/4 acre to edge. Very large area. I like the way they edge, but yes the battery life is not good, thats why I have two. I can get all my edging done in one day using both. They are lightweight, quick start, and great cutting. I can handle with one hand. I have a ditch 150 feet to cut as well as around fence. It does all it advertises and more. I am very satisfied with only one problem, the screw in the guard keeps coming out. I have replaced it with a larger screw and so far so good. If it comes out again I plan on using a washer to hold it in. Apparently the plastic holding the screw is not sufficient to hold screw in place. Black and Decker could have done better on this part. All in all, I am greatly satisfied, as gas edgers were hard to start, heavy, costly, and a real pain in the butt. I like this product.

Reviewer: Sharon L. Gaughan,
I am a single mom of two and a new homeowner. I bought this last year as
a trimmer. Having a large lot and comparing my lawn to my neighbor's lawn,
I began looking to buy an edger. I was shocked at the prices as I personally
think trimming is needed more often. Was I happily surprised to discover
that this little gizmo edges, also! I went on the B&D website and found the
easy instructions on how to convert it from a trimmer to an edger. I haven't tried
the edger yet, but am very pleased with the trimmer and have had no problem at all with
the battery life.
Lighter then most and does the job

I was suprised how much lighter this is compared to my old weed wacker and works just as well. Very happy with it.

Reviewer: acinehermoso,
Impressive, easy to use and smart looking. This is a formidable compact unit. It gets the job done in short order. I had no battery issues or problems. It worked fine for me. It is a matter of seeing the glass half empty vs. seeing it half full.
