Awesome from a Paid Professional, July 21, 2004
This review is from: Factory Reconditioned Black & Decker CST1000R 12", 12V Cordless String Trimmer (Lawn & Patio)
I have mowed 3 yards for 2 years now, a combination of 3 acres, only having to buy more cord (6) so far, and just recently another cord cover.
I've gotten numerous mowings out of this little machine.
True enough on the thick grass that would stall your lawn mower this weedeater doesn't stand a chance. I've used gas and corded weedeaters. Unless they just make some lemons no one has the right to give this machine anything less than 4 stars.

This review is from: Factory Reconditioned Black & Decker CST1000R 12", 12V Cordless String Trimmer (Lawn & Patio)
This Lightweight trimmer is easy to carry around, and does an excellent job. A Charge seems to last forever. I Mow with a push reel mower, and the occasional long bit is left behind. I just follow up with this, and the lawn looks great! It is quiet and easy on the environment too.

underpowered for any real application, July 31, 2003

This review is from: Factory Reconditioned Black & Decker CST1000R 12", 12V Cordless String Trimmer (Lawn & Patio)
I wanted an electric string trimmer because I don't like the noise of a gas powered trimmer. A cordless trimmer appealed to me because I don't have to haul 100 feet of extension cord to use it. Even though my yard is very small (1/4 acre) and I have nothing but grass to trim along the house and fence, this trimmer was far too under-powered. It simply wouldn't cut grass efficiently. I also found the automatic string feed to be unreliable...I would always end up with about 1 inch of string and I would have to tap it against the ground to try to get it to feed. Also, I found the unit uncomfortable to use - it's poorly balanced due to the heavy battery. This season I broke down and replaced the cordless trimmer with a small 25cc gas powered unit. It is very noisy, but it gets the job quicker, easier, and better. Unless you have a complete phobia of gas powered trimmers, I would not recommend this tool.
