Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Toro 7-inch 12-volt cordless trimmer features the portability of a gas powered trimmer without the mixing and pull-cord, and the ease and reliability of an AC powered trimmer without being tethered by an extension cord. Quiet, clean, and environmentally friendly, the trimmer's powerful 12-volt battery provides up to 45-minutes of run time and recharges to full power in only 24-hours. The trimmer has a patented bump-feed line advance for added convenience--you simply tap the trimmer head when you need more line, and more line instantly feeds out of the spool. No tools are needed to change the spool. The trimmer is equipped with an exclusive cord lock system that prevents accidental disconnects, and is covered by a 2-year full warranty.

The portability of gas power without the mixing and pull-cord, the ease and reliability of AC power without being tethered by an extension cord, Toro's 12-volt trimmer is a first-rate unit for homeowners. A 12-volt battery offers a run time of at least 45 minutes, more than enough for the average yard. The D-shaped handle’s curve balances the trimmer’s 10 pounds nicely in hand, and we especially like the wide-grip trigger. It comes out of the box fully assembled, needing only a 12-hour charge to be ready to run. The spool holds 10 feet of .065 line, and spool replacement is a snap--literally—-because no tools are needed. Just bump the head to advance more line. We like this trimmer for its light weight, ease of handling, impressive run time, and great price.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this one, June 15, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Toro 7-Inch 12-Volt Cordless Trimmer 51460 (Lawn & Patio)

Not enough trim area, the string constantly gets tangled within the spool so you have to take it off and rewind. I spend more time fixing that on trimming. Plastic is splitting apart after one season. Disappointing. I would not recommend this trimmer to anyone.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great item for the buck., June 12, 2003

For the buck you just can't beat this product. Not the power of a gas trimmer but then I didn't expect that. Very comparable to the power of an electric trimmer but without the cord. I will give up the slight loss in power to never again have to drag that cord around. Simple to put together and plugs in anywhere to charge. This is a definate buy if you are in the market for a good reliable trimmer. Toro states that the charge will last for 45 minutes. I trimmed for about an hour and still saw no power being lost.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good so far, June 14, 2004

This review is from: Toro 7-Inch 12-Volt Cordless Trimmer 51460 (Lawn & Patio)

This product has been great so far. I have had this trimmer for about two weeks. The first time I used it the battery ran low after about 30 min. The second time I used it (after charging all week) the battery must have been more completely charged since it didn't become low after over 30 min. of use. Its a whole lot more convenient to use than my old gas trimmer and it doesn't sound like an airplane flying over. The trimmer line that was on it when new did break quite often and I replaced it with line from a bulk reel of 0.065 line. This line is more durable and I have not had to add more line yet. The unit is somewhat heavy and can get tiring if you have a lot of trimming to do. It would be nice if there were places on the trimmer to add a support strap. The bump feed mechanism works flawlessly. I have never had the line to become tangled or fail to dispense as it should. For the price and convenience, I don't think you can find a better trimmer.
