BLACK+DECKER 13 in. 60V MAX Lithium-Ion Cordless 2-in-1 String Grass Trimmer/Lawn Edger with (1) 1.5Ah Battery and Charger Included

very good long lasting battery

easy to assemble, use

I was looking for a battery powered unit that was powerful enough to trim weeds/grass and edge my yard; and, after a month of use I am very satisfied with this product. Despite its length, and the weight of a 60 volt battery, the unit is fairly light and easy to use and navigate. I have used this on tall grass, weeds and trimming around plant beds. (No real bushwhacking). The rotating head is simple to use and very handy in edging the yard.The cord feeder is a simple one button which stalls turning momentarily as it extends the line. It is an easy process, but I haven’t quite gotten used to the fact that the line doesn’t extend fully to (or attempt to go beyond) the cover plate. Overall, this is exactly as advertised and exactly what I was looking for. Again, I’ve only had this for a little over a month, so I don’t know the durability of this product yet.

I use a trimmer regularly (practically daily). I’ve had gas and corded electric trimmers. This, by FAR, is the lightest and most convenient. I knew I would need a lot of power which is why I chose the 60-Volt. The battery runs out quicker than I would like. Overall – love it.

The trimmer works great. Not overly heavy or unbalanced for it’s size. Love the .080 trimmer string. Very seldom needs lengthening or cutting. The push button string adjuster sure makes it easier than bumping. The 60v battery lasts at least 1/2 hour of steady running (haven’t had to run it any longer than that for my yard). Overall, I am very satisfied with the unit.

Works Great. Very Pleased!

Great tools!

I’m a bit surprised by the initial reviews of how low and few they are for this trimmer. Well, I just received the trimmer and I must say that I am blown away by the performance of this product plus at almost 50% of the initial cost. I’ll share my reasons.I currently have a 20v black and decker trimmer/edger and it’s less than stellar. I hate the auto feeding especially for thick grass areas plus it’s rotational speed is weak. I’ve been trying to stay with it but it’s time for it to go so I was looking for a deal. Initially, I purchased the Ryobi 40v trimmer RY40240 and it has great reviews at over 300+. I have the battery lawnmower and leaf blower and I love it so I figured I would just expand my selection in the Ryobi family plus it was discounted by 40%.The very next day, I saw this discounted for 49% so I asked why not. Also, I do own a black and decker trimmer/edger so I take it that they do know something about trimmers/edgers. I already ordered the Ryobi so I figured I’d order this too and decide on which one to keep.After thoroughly reviewing both of these, I decided to go with the black and decker for the following reasons. 1. I needed a trimmer and edger 2. Ability to feed the line when desired. 3. Dual speed and line.Well, I received this, opened and assembled the product and decided to test it right away. The battery had a 1/3 charge left. While I agree that this is heavier than my current 20v trimmer/edger, 9 lbs is still lighter than a gas powered one. It also feels well balanced. Ergonomics has been taken into account when designing this with an arm rest towards the top and adjustable handle that can be locked to your desired position. I turned this thing on and I must admit that I was blown away by the power this thing has. At standard speed, it’s more powerful than the 20v counterpart and high speed is just awesome. You can also manually feed the line as needed. The trimmer is a plus for me with option to engage or disengage the guard as needed. The double line is a huge plus in terms of cutting performance and I’ll wait to see how often it needs to be charged and the reel changed. One thing that I noticed is that every time you stop and then start again, the line automatically feeds itself. I wish this was not the case as this will cause the line to be depleted even quickly. What’s the point of the manual feeder button then? A gimmick? I probably will trim/edge maybe 2-3 times a month so hopefully, I can go through a year without changing the reel. I also wish that the position to convert to/from trimmer/edger was up instead of way down but it’s not a deal breaker.Overall, the design and build looks solid. I’m just surprised that there are very few reviews (less than 20 as of 12/22/2017) on this thing. I also saw complaints about the battery life and I won’t know for sure until I use it. Even at 30 minutes at normal speed, it will be way more than what I need. Remember that the the angular velocity of a motor is proportional to the voltage across it so I’m surprised about a review of a 40v trimmer having more power than this.I also saw a comparison to a gas trimmer and I don’t know what type of grass this person has but if you can’t trim your grass with this bad boy, then you probably need a helicopter blade powered trimmer plus the headache of having fuel and oil smell all over you. For the price of less than $70, this is a steal and well worth it. Try it and with 90 days of return policy, what’s not to love? I’ll follow up over the summer on how this things works.

Bought this to match the mower I have. Now I have three batteries and two chargers all compatible
