.....really without a hitch. I received this item for Christmas and after Southern California got drenched with a wet winter, my backyard was like a jungle. I took out my new trimmer and wacked the crap out of everything that I could. It performed nicely for the most part, however, I did have a problem with the electrical cord continually falling out of trimmer. This was not a problem since it usually was about to happen when my poor arm needed a break anyway. For week-to-week trimming and edging, I think that this unit will be quite sufficient for my needs. I was impressed with the power it packed in taking down some pretty large items to be wacked. After a total usage time of probably 4-5 hours total of trimming and edging over two weekends, I believe I only had to retrieve the plastic twine from within 3 times. Each time it had slipped in while I was edging. I had no problem with the feed while I was trimming. Overall, I'm pleased. I hope it can last the test of time.

My husband used this on our front yard - because we have a lot of rocky terrain, we can not use a traditional lawn mower. obviously, the yard isn't that big (hence the electric trimmer, instead of gas). i wanted the thing mainly to be environmentally aware (no gas) and because it's not as noisy. well, the first time he used it, it started to smoke after about 20 minutes and that was the last time it worked. so now (sigh) we're going to a gas trimmer that i hope will be more reliable than this one. i suppose you get what you pay for, although it seems that there are some who have been pleased with this item. Good for them!

The trimmer broke the first time I tried it. (I'd used a similar model for 10 years, so I'm not an amateur with these things.) I contacted the seller -- Home and Beyond -- about the problem and got no response.

This weed trimmer works very well. The bumping mechanism is very nice also.

I wanted an electric edger and trimmer, this one was ideal, the price extremely good and I was and am totally pleased

I bought this trimmer recently and it worked for about 5 minutes and then it refused to feed the line out. The bump method is really unreliable and especially with this model. I had to return it to ACE hardware for credit. Never again!

My grandfather gave me his old weed eater that was gas and difficult to start. This one is awesome. I ended up breaking the guard that goes around the cutting edge. It still works fine with the crack in it. I do recommend getting some heavy duty cord for it if you decide to edge. I love this item.

This product works impressively well considering it is battery operated. No long electrical cords to fuss with, and no trips to the gas station for more petro. It does come with a spare battery, but I have almost half an acre to keep trimmed and having one extra charger and battery would be ideal (for a total of 3 batteries and 2 chargers) to complete that amount in the same yard mowing time. It's also well constructed and the edger feature works great. I don't think you'll be dissapointed for the price.
