This review is from: Factory Reconditioned Black & Decker NST2018R 18-Volt Cordless Electric 12-Inch Grass Hog String Trimmer/Edger (Lawn & Patio)

Thought this was a good deal as a new one cost $99.99 but I neglected to read enough of the fine print. The reduction in cost comes from the fact that it ony comes with ONE battery as opposed to two for the new,in the fancy box model. Since the battery costs $50 when purchased separately,this is only a deal if you don't use it very much. I should have gone for the new one.

When I saw it was $[...] cheaper I thought what a great deal, why would you not buy the factory reconditioned model? What they don't tell you is that it only has one battery and not the two that the brand new, full price model comes with. To buy a 2nd battery it will set you back around $[...] after shipping. So instead of saving [...] bucks, you lose [...]. What a total ripoff. I'd avoid the reconditioned model unless you have plenty of extra batteries at home from other black & decker tools.

I purchased a factory-reconditioned version of this trimmer and I'm quite pleased with its performance for the price. This replaced my ancient Ryobi gas trimmer which was certainly more powerful but much less convenient.

I've used the Black & Decker trimmer for a few weeks now and it is perfect for trimming grass around yard obstacles and weeds growing in sidewalk cracks. I love the quiet convenience of battery power.
