 - Cordless Black and Decker GrassHogItem arrived in new condition no long waiting period thanks to UPS delivery. The performance of this cordless weed wacker is mediocre to great! Don't expect to cut down tall 2 foot sizes of grass in one stroke it does great without having to bump and adjust the line. The battery life is also great it will last you about 45 minutes for a battery pack so make sure if you have lots of trimming to do that you recharge the packs overnight. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a cordless trimmer and not a gas powered version. Rating:  - Trimming FreedomI got this trimmer for my husband who was tired of dragging out all the electrical cords to do the trimming. It has plenty of power for the job, which is something I worried about in a battery pack. And we got two batteries with the trimmer. Auto feed works well, but does use a bit more nylon cord than the feed as you need method. Ease of use makes the extra cord use a non-issue. Black & Decker 18-Volt Cordless Electric 12-Inch Grass Hog String Trimmer/Edger #NST2018 Rating:  - Underpowered and not reliable14 days after the 2 year warranty was up the plastic stem joint broke while I was trimming. This makes the unit totally useless. After 2 years one battery doesn't hold a charge and getting the front lawn edge-trimmed on a 1/5 of an acre city lot is impossible on one battery. I'm talking the front lawn on a 1/5 acre lot, remember. On 2 batteries there is no way possible that a person could get the front and back lawn trimmed on a 1/5 acre lot. Definately, poor build quality and underpowered. I'm a scientist telling you like it is. If you want the convienence of a rechargeable then buy a second set of batteries. To give you a better idea, I generally do the sides of my driveway, the sidewalk and curb then my front walkway. One battery will tackle 60% of this and the second battery would only let me start the back yard. Black & Decker 18-Volt Cordless Electric 12-Inch Grass Hog String Trimmer/Edger #NST2018 Rating: - Great for small yards.Perfect for my small yard. No more dragging all of the electric cord around. Great tool. I love it. Rating: - Best lawn product we've ever purchasedAfter dealing with gas-powered and corded trimmers, this is the best trimmer I have ever owned. Reasons: 1) It's light and extremely easy to manuever. 2) I'm able to trim back and front lawn without losing charge. 3) I don't have to "bump" anymore. The string seems to never end. 4) No cords. 5) Environmentally friendly. 6) NO MESSY GAS MIXTURE OR SMELL! 7) No cord pulling to start (or not start as is usually the case). 8) Had it two years with no problems at all. Next purchase is the cordless blower!
