Product Review
The Black and Decker automatic feed string trimmer and edger is a powerful yet lightweight tool perfect for trimming heavy weeds, grasses, and overgrowth. The Groom 'N' Edge head rotates 180 degrees to convert the trimmer to an edger and vice versa in a matter of seconds. Used as an edger, the edge guide assists with edging along sidewalks and driveways. This 13-inch automatic feed sting trimmer and edger gives you a 13-inch cutting path and features the exclusive Black and Decker Automatic Feed Spool (AFS) system that automatically advances the cutting string without bumping; centrifugal force feeds the line as needed. The built-in auxiliary handle provides maximum comfort and control, and the cord retention system prevents accidental cord disconnection for continuous trimming. The powerful 4.4 Amp motor spinning the line at 10,000 rpm works as a powerful tool for trimming heavy weeds and grass. Weighing in at a mere 5 pounds, this a feather-light string trimmer allowing for less fatigue and more control. This product backed by a 2-year full warranty.
Reader Reviews
I purchased this trimmer last year. It has already died, but I was so frustrated with it, that's OK. (if interested, you can see my 3-star review right after purchase) The automatic feed never worked right: I had to continuously unplug the thing and advance the line: the auto feed depends on a sprocket system that allows the spool to advance: but as soon as dust gets inside (which happens immediately), the sprocket binds up, and the line does not feed out. Also the black guard that protects the user from debris getting kicked back is fastened with one small screw in soft plastic: the vibrations caused by normal usage caused this screw to strip out in the second use. Getting the item back to B&D for warranty repair would have cost me more than a new unit, so I did my own repair last year. The construction seems rally cheap and therefore potentially unsafe to me. This trimmer has been nothing but trouble since I bought it. It's better to use a less-polluting electric trimmer (not gas powered), but this one is not well made.
