Black & Decker 18 V Cordless Trimmer and Edger —

I was looking for something that would meet my needs, and this grasshog unit exceeded my expectations. I didnt' want to exceed $110 so this unit definitely stood out. The first thing I noticed was how light it was. No strain on the arms or shoulder, so light that one of the kids that offered to cut my yard used it and did a GREAT job! I was a little bit worried about how long the battery would last, and for the most part, if you're not always on the trigger you can pretty much do everything in one charge. B&D includes two batteries, so you can always get the other one. I was used to gas weed eaters, and this unit just felt underpowered. It only goes one speed. I suppose the best description would be like driving a hybrid vehicle versus a Dodge charger with a Hemi. Both cars will get you where you need to go; so in the end, this unit does the job and does it well. I've used it at least 6 times, and I have yet to change the spool and I haven't had any problems with the line like I do the gas powered units. My wife even used it and SHE liked it! Overall, if you don't want the hassle of refueling or smoke or the unit being heavy, THIS is the way to go.
