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.

Swisher Shindaiwa E4 34cc 4-Stroke Engine Commercial Grade String Trimmer #E4-S4000

Our largest E4 engine trimmer with all the power of a classic 2-stroke for the really tough jobs. Equipped with a durable, solid steel mainshaft and superior balance to reduce operator fatigue and improve performance. Available in California.
Customer Review: Swisher E-4 is great
I have owned a Shindaiwa 230 for over 10 years and have been very pleased with its performance and quality. I purchased the E-4 because I retired the 230. I was surprised by how powerful the trimmer performed, the amount of torque, RPM's and power. I was truly surprised by the difference in performance between the old Shindaiwa 230 and my new E4. The E4 cleared thick brush quickly with lots of power but was much quiter. The technology is much more advanced on this product and is impressive. The new way to load the string will blow your mind. I am very satisfied with this purchase.
Customer Review: Very Good Trimmer
I am happy with the trimmer, however I did have to replace the head with a better one. The trimmer has plenty of power to do the job. I am happy with the purchase price as well as the overall performance. I would purchase another one, if needed. I recommend this product!

Sunlawn 9-Inch 12 Volt Cordless Electric String Trimmer #BTE-1

The concept behind the BTE-1 Trimmer is innovative but deceptively simple: carry the battery on the body instead of the trimmer. With the convenient shoulder strap and belt hook the operators body bears the weight of the battery so it is barely noticeable. The BTE-1 trimmer itself weighs only 3.1 pounds so one can do all the trimming without suffering a sore wrist or shoulder. The BTE-1 is a dream to use!
Customer Review: DO NOT BUY SUNLAWN PRODUCTS
SUNLAWN HAS GONE OUT OF BUSINESS & IS NOT HONORING THEIR WARRANTIES. IVE HAD THE SAME PART BREAK TWICE IN ONE YEAR. AVOID SUNLAWN PRODUCTS
Customer Review: Don't bother
The separate, shoulder-mounted battery is great, making the hand-held part as light as most plug-in electric trimmers. It seems to have a bit more torque than the cheapo plug-in trimmer I had before, though not enough to consider it professional-grade, by any means. Battery life is enough to edge a very small southern-california postage-stamp-sized yard (maybe a few hundred linear feet of edging). The problem I've encountered is that, while the cutting cord will spin freely when the trimmer is not actively trimming, when I start to trim, the cord is deflected into the top of the safety cover, chopping the cord to a length of about 2 inches -- rendering it too short to cut effectively or to "self-feed" to the proper length by the usual method of tapping the spinning head on the ground. I ended up having to stop every few feet to manually pull out more string. I have found that this problem can be overcome by removing the safety cover entirely, but of course this is highly inadvisable, and I am certainly not suggesting that you do so. If not for the finicky relationship between the cutting cord and the safety cover, I would have rated this trimmer with 5 stars instead of 2. 2-MONTH UPDATE (June, 2009): After a handful of charge/discharce cycles, battery life has decreased to less than a minute. After a full 12 hours of charging, the trimmer will spin fast enough to cut for a few seconds, and then slows to a low RPM that can't cut. This, despite the manual saying the lead-acid battery does not develop a memory. Revise rating to zero stars.

Weed Eater .080-Inch by 150-Foot Bulk String Trimmer Line Premium 5 Edge #952701687

Weed Eater/Poulan Pro .080-Inch by 150-Foot Bulk Line Premium 5 Edge #952701687. Ideal for a home owner or professional. 080-inch-by-150-foot grass trimmer line provides great quality and the best brand in the industry. This Poulan Pro trimmer line is long-lasting and gets the job done.
Customer Review: Affordable and easy to wind
I have been having a difficult time finding the replacement spool for my string trimmer so I picked this up and was able to wind my spool completely with plenty left over. The big test came in actual use and this exceeded all expecations. Since this provides enough line to wind 7 spools it's also very cost effective. After I wound my spool I let it sit for a few days before use, although I do not know if this was necessary, but I thought it might help the spool keep it's shape better. This string is just a bit thicker than my old string trimmer was accustomed to, but it worked out perfectly, and the remaining string remains in the packaging neatly.

Customer Review: A fine product
As a senior citizen, I want a product that is light weight and easy to use. This Weed Eater fits the bill perfectly. I would not hesitate to advise others to buy it.
Customer Review: Does what it does
Basic weedwacker string. Does what it does, doesn't skimp on the amount of string, and doesn't jam more than a couple times a roll. Not a five because to be a five it would have to have even more string, but that's about it.

The 12-inch cutting path offers precise maneuverability great for use around plants and shrubs.

Customer Review: Perfect for Brooklyn
My yard in Brooklyn has two patches of grass among the various landscaping, trash, pigeons, rats, hypodermic needles and beer bottles. This thing works like a charm to quickly and easily trim up small yards with no messy gas and it also works as a club to remove unsightly bums who may have passed-out in your yard. Get a move on, buddy, I've got to cut the grass! It's also very safe for this type of product (I accidentally ran it over my bare feet the other day, not even a bruise. FYI this is NOT RECOMMENDED but I thought I'd let you know. Okay, look, just don't use it on yourself, even if you're into that sort of thing. Geez, now this will probably be deleted.) Easy to use, easy to store, great for small patches of grass.
Customer Review: Weeds hate this product!
Weeds watch out! This is a simple, yet effective, tool that easily spools additional thread. The unit is fairly light and is assembled in just minutes. No need to spend more.
