Does What it Needs To Do

DEC

2008

I have to admit, I was very skeptical about getting a battery powered trimmer. I used to borrow my father-in-laws convertible gas line trimmer/edger. But would get so frustrated when it wouldn't start on the first try or the second, or the 3rd, always needing several pulls to start. With that said, I still went out and purchased a BRAND NEW gas trimmer, and after the first few uses, I noticed that it would never start on the first pull. Frustrated, I brought it back and decided to go with this and the 18V blower. I haven't looked back since. Starts every time and the battery lasts long enough... review »

Good power and light

APR

2009

I've only had the trimmer for about a month but, so far, I am quite happy with it. I have about 1/3 of an acre and one battery is plenty. In fact, if I rush, I can actually get two trimmings, a week apart, out of one charge. I was a little worried about how strong it would be but it has happily cut through even some vine-like weeds with no problem.

wonderful

MAY

2009

I was worried that this would not work, over the years I have spent a lot of money on corded weedeaters. They were always hard to handle plus it was a pain to add more line. This one is GREAT. Light weight and soooo easy to use, practically runs itself. And the battery lasts long enough for the whole yard. I would highly recommend this product (and I do) to everyone!!

One word: awesome

MAR

2009

I have a small front lawn and this trimmer with 2 batteries is more than adequate for the job. One battery allow me to trim most of the lawn, the second one finish it off nicely. Good buy.

VERY PLEASED

NOV

2008

I previously had the 12 volt gras hog unfortunately it was a bit too light weight for my taste. I have since upgraded to the 18 volt Grass Hog and I am so happy with the performance of this machine I now have six of the 18 volt cordless tools. The Fire Storm line uses the same batteries. There is also an 18 volt Dust buster.

Was about to be disappointed after the initial charging of the batteries. However, after the second and third charge, I got 1/2 hour or more each time per battery. Works great.

One of my best investments

MAY

2007

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,... review »

Grasshog

APR

2007

I recently purchased the Grasshog cordless trimmer for home use in my yard. I was previously using my grandpa's old electric trimmer which was literally falling apart (I had to duct-tape the electrical cord to the trimmer!). What a difference! The Grasshog's battery life per use is more than enough to cover my entire yard. It is very lightweight and easy to handle, but tough enough to take care of even the thickest of weeds. I am very pleased with the Grasshog and would recommend it to anyone!

Surprisingly Good

MAY

2008

After spending another 2 hours trying to get my 2 stroke Toro trimmer started (unsucessfully), I decided to take a leap of faith and buy a cordless trimmer. Lot's of good reviews on the B&D GrassHog, so I bought one. In a word - amazing. Easy to assemble, light, and plenty powerful for 'standard' grass trimming and edging. After (a long 9 hour) charging, the first battery lasted for about 25 minutes of non-stop work. Plenty to edge and trim my whole yard. The self-feeding mechanism worked fairly well, but I did have to turn the unit over and manually feed out the line a couple of times when... review »

Awsome

JUN

2008

This thing has the power to cut through suckers from a cotton tree. I was impressed by the power and battery life. There is never any tuning required, no exhaust to choke you out, and its quiet. Great buy! And comes with two batteries.

Grasshog

JUN

2009

Traded in a new Sears 18 volt line trimmer for the Black and Decker Grasshog because the Sears trimmer had a battery charger problem. Charged the batteries, started using it and found it to be quieter, more powerful, and ran longer on a battery charge than the Sears model did. The 8-9 hour battery charge is not a problem with the 2 batteries provided. The automatic line advancement works well and uses less line than the Sears unit.

I love it!

JUN

2007

I have had my cordless grasshog for six months now. I love it. I have back problems, but this is such a lightweight unit that even I can use it. It is best to have two batteries though. I have a large yard and it uses the entire battery to complete the yard but I always have a spare on hand if I want to do more (I have 40 acres). I would recommend this unit to anyone. It is well worth the price. I have just now run out of line and need to buy more.

Awful battery life

JUN

2009

Great features, terrible battery life. Even with two fully-charged batteries, I couldn't finish the job done in one day. I'm not talking heavy brush, I'm talking about a well-groomed, twin-house property in a development that needs edging at curbside and trimming around the garden beds, rear patio and two trees. Don't waste your money or time on this.

Great Product

MAY

Nothing this thing can't handle. Best thing in the garage. Would recommend buying the cordless 18v blower as well, extra battery will come in handy.
