Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Toro’s NEW 8-Inch cordless trimmer has a sleek design leading to improved balance, ease of use and lighter weight, weighing less than 6.5-pounds. This trimmer is powered by a durable 12-volt battery so that you are not constrained by an extension cord and you don’t have to hassle with gas and oil. Toro trimmers also make it easy to manage your trimming line. With the patented bump-feed system, you simply tap the trimmer head when you need more line; you control how much line you use. The battery fully recharges in 24 hours. The trimmer is covered by Toro’s 2-year full warranty.

The Toro cordless trimmer has plenty of power--even after 45 minutes of use. I also own the Black & Decker 18 volt cordless trimmer with 2 removable batteries. The Black and Decker loses its power in less than 20 minutes--sometimes 15.
I store the Toro unplugged, and it holds its charge for over 6 weeks. Try that with the Black & Decker 18 volt cordless trimmer. The Black and Decker loses most of its power in less than 2 weeks.
The Toro doesn't always win over the Black & Decker, however. The B&D is superior for trimming grass along a sidewalk. It's also more ergonomic and weighs much less. I do, however, get tired of replacing the batteries every 15 minutes and having to recharge 2 batteries after every use.
Overall, the Toro is a great value for the money. It is a little heavy, but that's due to the large battery. If you have extremely light trimming to do, especially along a sidewalk, definitely get the Black & Decker 18 volt cordless trimmer. If you have lots of trimming to do and can deal with the extra weight, definitely get the Toro. It runs longer, stronger, and, depending on how long you use it, you don't have to recharge it after every use.

I ignored the reviews and bought this trimmer, the price was hard to ignore and if it turned out to be a mistake I would try to return it or just junk it.
After a month this has performed like a charm. Plenty of power, battery lasts at least 30 minutes and the small foot print is not an issue for me. I cut the big areas with my lawn-mower.
It is essential for the handle to be seated properly or else you will not get full power, just a tip when you snap things together upon assembly.
Replacing the string is easy, but it in bulk and wind it yourself, not difficult at all.
I have trashed by gas powered trimmer since this little guy does all I need it to do.
Good performance for a low price. BTW you can use a stronger thicker line with it if you desire.

I purchased this product in the summer of '07 from Toro as a refurbished product. Since it was refurbed it was about half the price as it is here. Considering this is a rechargeable cordless product I think it is pretty darn good. It doesn't quite have the power to cut thruogh thicker weeds but works great for the grass the mower can't get. I have decent sized yard with a few trees and flower beds to trim around and this thing doesn't seem to want to run out of juice. My average use is about 20 minutes or so and it hasn't died during use yet. In fact I only charge it about every 2-3 uses. I have no complaints about this trimmer and would have given it 5 stars if it could go through thicker weeds, but I guess that can be expected with a cordless electric trimmer.
