Enjoyable
I bought this at Lowe's and enjoy it on my 1/2 acre. I never had one before but knew I didn't want a gas trimmer for noise and having to yank on a string like a mower. I find the noise level acceptable. True I keep at least one roll of string on hand since I use this to clean out the open ditch in front of my house. But so easy to replace (just pop out the old and in with the new) I can't complain. And long pants are a MUST. One stinging gash will speak volumes to you.

Two Years and Still Going Strong
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) My husband always kept the lawn and garden tools in running order, and when he passed away two years ago I purchased this because it's light and it's electric, so that I don't have to fool with maintenance, gas/oil mixtures, etc. It was under $50, and I've given it an incredibly hard workout on my wooded lot of more than three acres (with the help of extremely long extension cords). I'v...

For Small Yards, It Kicks Grass!
Having had a gas weed eater, I can say that I like the electrical Grass Hog a lot better. It is very lightweight, but still powerful. It does a great job of normal weed eating, but the real nifty feature is that it coverts to an edger. And the edger works just as well. If you have a small yard, being connected to an extension cord is not a big deal. It is worth the ease of use that you get from this light model. No more trips to the gas station and mixing machine oil. This weed eater is a...

String Hog by Black & Decker
The electric grass hog by B&D is a good price and works very well. The problem is the automatic string feed. Each use will use the entire spool and at [$$]...for a 3 pack of string is very expensive. I bought the unit...and when the other two spools are used, I am taking it back for a refund! B&D makes great products, but they need to rethink the string usage. Make tuffer string.

Not Too bad
I have traditionally found that B&D lawn tools are pretty good and this weed wacker works just fine. It trims well, the "rotating head action" helps with edging, and it is reasonably powerful. I only gave it three stars (I would actually give it two and a half if I could) because 1) It does use a lot of string. I would also suggest wearing long pants when using this thing because the string advances automatically during use and the piece that is cut off goes flying. I got a couple of "wacks"...

Just Add A Grass Gator to Your Grass Hog-Perfect!
I just purchased one of these and it is almost perfect. I had a small string one and as stated in the other reviews, they use a lot of string and it is a pain replacing the spool and the string ones never cut like the gas ones. We all know the problems with the gas ones, but boy can they knock down the weeds. Well I was at Home Depot and spotted the perfect solution. This Grass Hog and the Grass Gator Electric Multi-Fit. No more string and with the power of the Black and Decker, I'm in Hog Hea...

I would definitely recommend this
I have a small lot (8500 sq. ft.) and the rear portion had a fair amount of tall grass growing in a non-landscaped area. This thing chopped that stuff down no problem. I had a McCullough gas trimmer that couldn't take that stuff down.I haven't had it long enough to comment on the line use issues, but i think for ~$50 this is a great value. It does a lot better edging my bermuda lawn than the dedicated Craftsman edger that I had (used a blade). So basically this outperforms 2 units that ...

PEOPLE USE YOUR HEAD!!!
PEOPLE USE YOUR HEAD!!! I've read some of these stories, and/or comments, and I must say, they are ridiculous! This B&D Trimmer/Edger is an excellent product, I have one, as well as my Sis!!!! It's that some of you people, just don't know how to use it properly. For example; you know that most every trimmer shoots out rocks, every now and then. Here's a thought~WEAR PANTS! Also, you don't have to keep buying a new spool every time, buy the appropriate string, and wind it yourself, like the direc...

Bad Design
Ok, I bought this one thinking, hey it's cheap, I don't have to buy gas, yadda, yadda, yadda.After about the tenth use, and I'm not kidding here, I got so mad I smashed it multiple times against the side walk, realized that I couldn't return it and put it in the trash. The string does not feed correctly. I'd only suggest buying this product if it's for a gift to someone you really can't stand. Now if the thing fed string correctly, it'd be a good product, it's lightweight, the fact that ...
