Customer Review: Frustration
This device comes with a vague instruction manual. How long is 10.5 comma? The comma appearing where you wouild normally find a foot or inch designation. If you use it with a series of short bursts like fine trimming around a circular base or series of ornamental rocks the line just keeps feeding till it gets so long it fouls upon itself with the two ends twining like caduceus snakes. If you ever need to turn your trimmer off in the coursr of your trimming. This is note a trimmer to be considered. Fairness aside: I did not have this problem with the original string. This problem was with replacement string, but still....
Customer Review: Troy Built string trimmer
The Troy Built string trimmer is a heavy duty product, but the weight may be too much for some people especially if used over an extended period of time. The duel string spool seems unnecessary, and the Troy system of feeding line not with a bump but with a stoppage of the motor wastes much string. It's constantly feeding line every time you pause in your work. The use of oversized line (.80) seems extreme as well. That old .065 line in the garage is now a pitch. For small neighborhood lawns a smaller and lighter product would probably be a better choice.

Weed Eater 12-Inch 3.75 Amp Quick Snap Head Electric String Trimmer #RT112C

Weed Eater trimmers are synonymous with product innovation, exceptional performance and unbeatable value. They're the trimmer America asks for by name. The 3.7 Amp Electric Trimmer (RT112C) features a 12-inch cutting width and Quick Snap Head Type.
Customer Review: Would not hesitate to buy from this company again
I recently bought a weed eater and was very pleased with the service. The product was received within days, boxed very well with instruction book and works unbelievably great. My husband purchased a gas one and assured me I would love it. I hated it. The weed eater I purchased is electric and lightweight. Now he keeps trying to use the one I bought.
Customer Review: Great Product
For the price this is a great buy. It gets the job done and then more. Do yourself a favor and purchase this item.

Black & Decker GH600 Grass Hog 14-Inch 5-AMP Electric String Trimmer and Edger

A broad 14-inch cutting swath and a powerful five Amp electric motor help the Black & Decker Grass Hog GH600 Electric String Trimmer and Edger make edging, trimming, and weed eating easy tasks to handle. It features a Groom'N'Edge head that can be rotated 180-degrees for quick switches between cutting and edging tasks along with Black & Decker's Automatic Feed Spool (AFS) system, which uses centrifugal force to dispense more line whenever you need it for added predictability and dependability--no bumping required. Also offering the simplicity of electric startups and weighing in at just 5.2 pounds, it's a machine that is incredibly easy to handle, and you won't have to contend with the strain that repeated pull starts and heavier tools can put on your body. Other convenient design elements include a flip-down edge guide, four-position height adjustment, and an adjustable auxiliary handle for a customizable experience and improved comfort. Corded power means work is never brought to a standstill by a dead battery or an empty gas tank, and a patented cord-lock system prevents accidental extension cord disconnections while you work. This tool is backed by a limited 2-year warranty.
Customer Review: DANGEROUS: Line auto advances too far, gets automatically cut, and may fly into your legs or face
My face was seriously cut (deep quarter inch gouge on my left cheek) by the excess advanced line snippet. The Black and Decker Grass Hog automatically advances the line (versus punching down on the head), however too much line is advanced and a 2-4" snippet flies off and may hit your legs or face depending on the swivel setting of the Grass Hog. I am returning it immediately. For my health, I will never use this machine again. Please be aware of the risks of this machine.
Customer Review: The Best Yet!
I waited quite a while before writing a review since I have used several gas and electric trimmers and edgers over the years. I must honestly say this is, without one doubt, the very best one I have ever had. The line lasts much longer (each spool) than I predicted. I am a fanatic regarding my lawn and grass and I could not recommend a trimmer more than this!! I am trilled. No tangles, no line breaks, easy-simple-a no brainer to use. Light weight but powerful. I hope they make this one for many years because I have finally found a lightweight, powerful, and effective trimmer. I am more than a believer!

Swisher Shindaiwa E4 Power Multi-Tool String Trimmer Attachment #E4-U3001

The Trimmer Attachment converts a multi-tool power source into a professional string trimmer. With a solid steel drive shaft and heavy-duty four-bearing gear case design. Easy tap and feed trimmer head is standard.
Customer Review: Quality tool with great quick-disconnect
Swisher/Shindaiwa's quick-disconnect on their multi-tool is exceptional. The lock-up at the joint is very solid, with no play at all, and the drive is via a solid shaft - not a cable as with almost all others. I down-rate this attachment to 4 stars only because the bump head isn't up to the quality of the rest of the tool. I changed mine out to an Echo pre-cut string head several years ago and have never looked back.

Cub Cadet 17" 26cc 4-Cycle Gas Powered Curved Shaft String Trimmer With Rapid-Link Attachment System (CARB Compliant) #CC4025

Cub Cadet equipment is as tough as the pros, yet affordable for homeowners. The 4-cycle engines allow for no mixing of oil or gas with quiet operation and strong performance.
Customer Review: Sweetness
This is a nice unit for the money. I only use it about twice a month, but it is easy to use. Start up is easy. One, maybe two pulls is all you need to get it started. Weight-wise, it is pretty light and well balanced. It will do what you need it to, and do it well.
