Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This high-quality 14-inch electric trimmer and edger comes from the no. 1 brand of consumer string trimmers. Great for maintaining all those places on your lawn the mower can't reach, Weed Eater's Twist 'n' Edge Plus is a breeze to assemble, use, and maintain. Assembly is as simple as extending the tube and snapping the pieces into place--it only took us a few minutes. The assist and trigger handles are easily adjustable with a quick turn of a screw, catering to users' height and arm length (no more backaches). The tool is remarkably light, and switching between trimming and edging functions is as simple as pushing the easy-to-reach red button. When it's time to replace the cutting line, the trimmer/edger boasts Quick-Snap 10-second spool replacement. The 14-inch model is the largest Twist 'n' Edge and features a 4.1 amp motor. Two-year limited warranty.

This review is from: Weed Eater XT114 14-Inch 4.1 Amp Tap-N-Go Head Twist-N-Edge Shaft Electric String Trimmer (Lawn & Patio)

The Weed Eater XT 114 14" electric trimmer is one of the best performers in its class. After perusing the gardening isle with my husband, we were looking for 4 traits in a "weedeater".

1. Price 2. Reliability 3. Warranty 4. Ampage

With a price tage under $40, a 2 yr. limited warranty and the name brand "Weed Eater", we narrowed the search to this tool and another generic brand. Both were in the price and warranty range; however the Weed Eater had an automatic rewind button, was more lightweight and had a more powerful motor.

Our choice was easily made; Weed Eater was the trimmer for us!

1.0 out of 5 stars WEED EATER XT114 ELECTRIC TRIMMER/EDGER, May 17, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Weed Eater XT114 14-Inch 4.1 Amp Tap-N-Go Head Twist-N-Edge Shaft Electric String Trimmer (Lawn & Patio)

The Weed Eater XT114 Electric Trimmer/Edger has a lot of power. It is relatively light and easy to manuever. I definitely recommend using gloves and safety glasses with this one. I have found it extremely difficult to egde with this unit. It does not have an edging guide on it like many of the Black & Decker models do. This makes it very difficult to position the unit to edge properly. I find myself hitting the concrete with the trimmer line or cutting grooves in my lawn instead of getting right along the edge of the pavement as would be wanted. The other problem is that when the trimmer line breaks off, I cannot get the line to auto feed back out. Tapping the spool on a hard surface should feed it back out, but I always end up taking the spool apart instead. When the spool is apart, I find the trimmer line melted to itself. I have no idea why this happens. I have tried a new spool and had the same problem. Overall, I like the weight, power, and balance of the XT114 - but next time I will buy a different brand.

The construction of this unit is very "cheap". Lightwieght plastics, poor packaging, ill-fitting parts. Oh sure, it whacks weeds, but don't bother unless you want to pay $39.95 for a $19.95 product. Be prepared for missing or damaged parts, Amazon doesn't pack the item at all -- they just pull it off a shelf and slap the shipping label on the box.
