Automatic feed was Always feed
We got this thing right after it came out. It wasn't and automatic feed so much as it was an always feed. It basically just always fed out line, using it up quickly. It ended up being cheaper to buy a new weed eater (not this brand or with that feature) than it was to keep buying line. About the only positive was the service from the company. They'd send replacement parts to us when we asked at least for the first year.
There was a small plastic piece which controls the feed of the l...

Definitely not a grasshog
Horrible product. Almost caught fire from burned out motor on first useage. It started smoking after six minutes of light use. Do not buy. Buy one of the Black & Decker grasshog models instead. They need to recall this thing before someone gets injured.

lasted less than 1 year - always a problem
I purchased this trimmer last year. It has already died, but I was so frustrated with it, that's OK. (if interested, you can see my 3-star review right after purchase)
The automatic feed never worked right: I had to continuously unplug the thing and advance the line: the auto feed depends on a sprocket system that allows the spool to advance: but as soon as dust gets inside (which happens immediately), the sprocket binds up, and the line does not feed out.
Also the black ...

Excellent
A portion of my yard was not accessible all spring and summer due to construction. The grass and weeds grew to 4' tall. Tried this trimmer and edger, which does not state it is a weed wacker, and did it ever take care of those weeds. The string feeder works great, bought extra spools but did not need them for this job. It is easy to handle (I use a cane) and had no problem at all. No gas smell, not noisy. I cannot say enough good things about this Black & Decker product.

great trimmer and edger
It has lots of power and is easy to use. It converts from trimmer to edger with one easy twist. Also a great price.

Missing Parts
I wish I could review the product fully, but Amazon shipped it without the black plastic shroud that goes on the back of the motor. And right now, I don't know when I'll get a replacement. It was at a good price and it looks nice - but not very useful in the shape it's in.

Easy to use trimmer
I am very pleased with the ease and strong performance of the B & D edger and trimmer (#ST7700). I have both Bermuda and St Augustine grass and it cleanly cuts with out tearing up stolons. I use it on a large bed of primrose and it cleanly cuts the tough runners. In addition to the light weight the handles make it east to switch from trimming to cutting.

Good solid tool
This trimmer replaces a B&D ST1000 that died after 7 years. The new trimmer makes short work of our small yard, unlike the old trimmer this one never booges down in heavy grass or anything else for that matters. It does seem to go through string faster, but that may be do to the fact that it is more powerful and faster than our old trimmer. One more thing this trimmer will throw rocks and dirt into the air at very high speed when rotated in edger position, that may be true of any powerful trimme...
