Sturdy, Flexible Design for Trimming and Edging Jobs
Designed to make trimming and edging a lawn quicker and easier than using hand tools, the RTE115C includes a Twist-N-Edge shaft that gives you the flexibility to take on even hard-to-reach areas. Access narrow places under shrubs or in corners your mower just can't get to, dismantle tough weeds and tall grass along fences, or clear up stubborn growth on your driveway.

3.0 out of 5 stars A must-read for owners and potential buyers., May 16, 2009
This review is from: Weed Eater RTE115C 15-Inch 4.5 Amp Twist-N-Edge Electric String Trimmer (Lawn & Patio)
I purchased this weed eater a few months back. It is very powerful for an electric, so that is a positive. The worst part (at least for me) has been the mechanism which delivers more string when needed. The other negative is the "trimmer guard" which you attach when you are assembling it. (Not the big plastic shield that prevents grass from flying everywhere, but the little metal piece that goes right in front of the spinning head.) It's very difficult to get that off after you've assembled it, so I recommend you leave it off completely. In my case I couldn't get it off, so I took some tin snips to it and cut it off. It serves no purpose.

The main problem with the feeder mechanism is that I almost always found myself with about 1-2 inches of string coming out of the head. This was so frustrating I wanted to literally throw the weed eater off a cliff. I was almost to the point where I was never going to use it again. That's when I tried some different string. I went to Lowes and purchased Heavy Duty 2mm (.080") titanium trimmer line. Thank the Lord that solved my problem! This weed eater is now an unstoppable CUTTING MACHINE and I love it. I would give this product 5 stars if it came with this string. But because it gave me so many problems before cutting off the guard and switching the string, it gets a 3.

I recommend this product only if you're going to purchase the new string with it. If you want to use it as is, right out of the box, I would pass. Thanks for reading.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sloppy Design but Powerful, April 25, 2009
By L. M. (Mesa, Az) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Weed Eater RTE115C 15-Inch 4.5 Amp Twist-N-Edge Electric String Trimmer (Lawn & Patio)
This trimmer is powerful as attested by the flying debris and a substantial noise level. The biggest negative noticed in using it the first time is a two piece shaft assembly that has such a sloppy connection it rotates perhaps 10 degrees with every pull on the trigger. So when you place the head in the area of interest on your yard border and pull the trigger it moves 3 or 4 inches, kind of like torque steer with an old front wheel drive car. I'm going to need to put some sort of clamp on the shaft joint so it doesn't twist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Second Time Purchaser, August 31, 2008
This review is from: Weed Eater RTE115C 15-Inch 4.5 Amp Twist-N-Edge Electric String Trimmer (Lawn & Patio)
I owned an identical unit previously. When I needed to replace it, I couldn't find anything better for the price. If you are OK with using 0.065 inch line, then I strongly recommend this unit. I use it almost every week, and it has been great both times I have owned one. I couldn't find it in stores anymore, so I had to get it online.
