I bought this trimmer to replace a larger cordless Black and Decker that finally gave out after several years of use - perhaps I didn't keep the battery charged correctly?
This trimmer is definitely not as powerful. However, it does cut through the grass along the edges and wooden fence. And it is MUCH lighter and easier to handle. The battery lasts through a typical usage - 20 minutes or so. I really like that the line keeps advancing on its own.

This is a very lightweight weedeater, which has an extendable shaft. Both of these things make it easier on the back than my last weedeater, a Black and Decker. The detachable battery is also good, as when the battery is no longer effective, as is inevitable, it can be replaced, unlike my Black and Decker. The charge last 20-30 minutes, also better than the B&D, and it cuts grass faster.
By some quirk, the screws needed to attach the safety guard were not shipped, so I tried it out without the guard attached, and I like it much better that way. You DO need to be MORE CAREFUL if you don't attach the guard, as more debris is shot out farther. But, if you keep kids and animals away, wear long sleeves, long pants, shoes that cover your whole foot (no sandals) and eye protection (I use an old pair of big-lensed glasses), you should be fine (not to mention, if you don't have rocks and twigs in your yard, as I do, you won't have this problem. You're not going to be hurt by the flying grass).
The upside to the guard being off is that you don't run through the string as quickly (since it's not being cut off every time it hits the guard, and you can cut a wider swath of grass.
The spool that holds the string doesn't hold as much as the B&D, but since I tend to buy a large spool of the stuff to wind onto the old spool rather than buying the replacement spools, it doesn't bother me.
I've read reviews on all kinds of weedeaters where people were disatisfied with the way the string automatically "dispensed" from the spool (on the no tapping models, like this one), and while I understand their frustration, no string weedeater of either kind is going to be perfect. You will always have to do some tweaking from time to time. Just expect it, and you'll be a lot happier.

We used to have a 12 Volt trimmer that we thought worked good. The battery did not last very long. Now this 18 Volt has the snort we had hoped for. It has better power and lasts longer. We were very pleased with the people AT Amozon.com where we purchased this trimmer from. We had straight forward information and all the information was correct. The shipping was ahead of time, which I was impressed. This trimmer is a joy to use. Thank You
