I was disapointed that power was diminished after 1/2 hour. I had recharged the trimmer over a 48 hour period.

I bought this elsewhere, but it went back to the store unused when I discovered (through calling Black & Decker, as they didn’t include this little detail at the store OR in the product manual) that the device requires a minimum of 24 hours of charging between uses!
That wouldn’t be a big deal, except it only runs for an advertised 8 to 15 minutes on one charge! I figured, trim, let it charge for a few hours, then trim more if I need to. But I’m not going to build my whole weekend around having enough time to get in an additional trimmer power charge!

This is the second one we purchased. We wanted two because the battery power doesn’t last long enough to edge the entire yard. Other than that- it is a great edger.

What I like about this trimmer is I can trim the lawn without putting an electric cord out. This way I do it anytime I want. I keep it plugged in all the time. It works best with the supplied string rolls. When I wrap the string myself, it doesn’t come out right and keeps stopping.

Item works very well and one charge of the battery lasts a relatively long time. I had to remove the guard in order to have more than 2.5″ of string actually cutting at once.
