1.0 out of 5 stars Wimpy, September 14, 2008

This review is from: Toro 51358 3.9 amp 13-Inch Electric Trim and Edge String Trimmer (Lawn & Patio)

My old Craftsman 2-cycle trimmer gave up the ghost so I decided to go green with an electric. Once I got it going, the old Craftsman used to make short work of the weeds in my garden and behind my house.

The string broke about 12 times on the Toro and I had to open up the spool to fish it out. And the garden was only about 1/4 done. I finally threw it down in disgust and gave up. It may be OK for trimming the grass around the edges of your yard, but that's about it.

2.0 out of 5 stars bump feed did not work, September 26, 2009

This review is from: Toro 51358 3.9 amp 13-Inch Electric Trim and Edge String Trimmer (Lawn & Patio)

The bump feed did not work properly in the horizontal trim position, and did not work at all in the vertical (edging) position. I bought this trimmer to replace an older version which finally burned out after many years of service, so I know how they should work. With this one it was trim or edge for a foot or so, remove the head to feed out some more line, replace the head, and repeat- over and over again. Very frustrating. I even rewound the line on the spool a few times because it seemed to be trapped by overlapping line. I finally returned this trimmer. Overall, I have always liked the Toro brand, but this trimmer just didn't cut it (literally).

1.0 out of 5 stars 80s trimmer worked fine; 2 decades of TORO decay, May 19, 2010

This review is from: Toro 51358 3.9 amp 13-Inch Electric Trim and Edge String Trimmer (Lawn & Patio)

TORO's bump-feeding trimmers proved to be so AGGRAVATING that I promised myself that I would get on Amazon and write a SCATHEING review. I did not have this exact model, but I have 2 models -- the 12in and 15in, that were new last year. On both models, every 60sec the string broke (happens), but the string would get jammed in its own crevice of the screw mechanism, or would disappear back into itself. This required hand-untightening the string chamber. However, if hand-tightened, often one cannot untighten it 60sec later -- leave hardly tight. I don't own a gas trimmer, but I went online and spent $30 for replacement teeth for my friend's trimmer so that I will have access to his -- that bad. When I was a kid, I used a string trimmer and occasionally had to advance the string (2-3 times per yard). In 25 years, what has TORO done to FAIL SO MUCH on such a SIMPLE electric motor application?!
