Love it!
April 11, 2016
I've used this to trim a couple hedges and a substantial bush. I was blown away at how easy this made the job. I cut some of the bushes a little shorter on a second pass just so I could play with my toy. It is a serious tool. It would take a finger off in no time. Great for basic yard work. If I had a large yard I might go with a longer blade.
Works great on bushes!
June 11, 2015
I am just starting out with my quest for a nice, do-it-yourself yard. I have a large, overgrown rosemary bush which needed tending and I thought this would be a good idea. It was! This little trimmer is lightweight and powerful to trim a bush. Not that it matters, but I am a smaller woman so I don't have the muscle most landscapers have. Handheld trimmer blades are not my idea of a good use of time or elbow grease. You need to have a long outdoor cord to attach to this, but other than that, its great for the price. You will need to affix the safety panel yourself, but with a screwdriver, that's easy. I think 1/2 inch twigs etc would be max with this. I store it face down in the box it came in, in my garage as the blade will need to be covered to avoid accidental injury. The safety panel won't allow it to store upright as it arrived, but it works.
I love this little baby!!
May 30, 2013
I got really, really tired of snipping one branch at a time off my shrubs. I've never used anything like this before....but zip, zap, zoop....I trimmed all my bushes in one day.....and they look pretty good, if I must say so myself! I'm creeping closer to 68 every day and I could wield this baby with one hand....and I didn't hurt after!
You cannot go wrong with this unit
May 3, 2013
I got this and went to work.I ended up working this unit like a full on work horse and it held up to every task I put it to.By the end of the day, this unit was still going strong and me, I was the one that dropped out.Very lightweight to work with, very easy to use and my hands did not bother me at all with my carpel tunnel, after an entire day of running this thing.As for the yard and shrubs, it now looks like I had a crew come in and to do the work. It's really great!!

September 10, 2016
Quite powerful ... we also have the cordless/battery run B&D trimmer from FOURTEEN years ago (all we did with that was replace the battery) but with our large lot (2.34 acres) the darned thing runs out of steam ... hence the purchase of the electric one so I can really tackle the stuff directly around the house and take the cordless one around the lot perimeter.
great buy, great price
August 5, 2016
great buy. came on time, as expected, and only took about 45 seconds to assemble. Nice and powerful while also light weight. gets the job done and some. I read some reviews about the string just endlessly feeding out so I was skeptical, but I am glad I disregarded those because I have no idea what they are talking about. Maybe they do not know how to properly put string on a weed-whacker.
Worth it as long as you take care of it!
December 2, 2015
Been using this for over a year. It's performed well through two seasons. It's very powerful, and easy to use. I mainly use it for grass but I've taken down weeds like they didn't stand a chance. I have not experienced any issues with this weed trimmer so far. I don't anticipate any problems with it anytime soon either. These work great and they're very cheap. Definitely worth the price.The last one I had (similar B&D) died most likely due to someone using it and not cleaning out the heat vents. If you buy one of these, take care of it. A little maintenance goes a long way. I used the last one for 5 years. The last season I had it, it did well every time I used it. I let someone else use it a few times, it melted. The whole casing was burning hot and covered in grass that was matted down to it.
Exactly what I needed
May 23, 2015
This is a great price for a great weed whacker. I just got it yesterday, but I've already done my entire front and back yards and they look fantastic! It is very easy to use and not too heavy. The automatic string feeder makes using this item so simple anyone could do it. Also you can twist the handle so that it can edge sidewalks and patios. It's really easy to switch back and forth and it leaves a clean edge all around. Everything looks amazing. Also it has a cord keeper where you can loop the extension cord (not included) so that it doesn't unplug when you're using it. The only drawback at all is that the spool isn't very big and they're not super cheap. I got almost the entire yard done but ran out. I hadn't bought additional spools from Amazon but Lowe's carries them for a comparable price, so they're easy to find. All in all I'm thrilled with this and I highly recommend it to anyone! I love that it is electric and doesn't require gas, too.

August 15, 2014
Just got this today and used it already! I've owned the Black and Decker lithium battery trimmer/edger...twice! That model died on me as the motor is just not meant to last for more than one season of just regular use (trimming the fenceline and edging the sidewalk of a small yard). I really thought I may not like this electric one as I don't want to be bothered dragging a cord behind me. But honestly, there is just no comparison. For the same price, the electric one is so much more powerful!!! And because of the extra power, it cuts/trims so much better. It's lightweight and the only thing you have to do to use it out of the box is put the shield on. Two seconds later, off you go to tidy up the yard! Fantastic!
Update: Season 4 - All Is Great! I'm ordering another.
September 8, 2012
September 2012 - After reading many of the reviews, I was hesitant to purchase this item. I started out with the battery model for the B&D trimmer and after charging 24 hours it worked for 15 minutes top. I returned the battery model and purchased the electric B&D model. I used it for the first time today and was able to complete an hour's worth of weed-eating and edging work. I was thrilled. I am a 55 year old woman and I find this trimmer easy to handle (except for the cord, but I don't mind that if it lasts more than 15 minutes.), light weight and quite powerful. My yard is 70' x 125' and I was able to complete almost all of the edging in a little over an hour. (I stopped because I needed a break, not because the trimmer lost power.)I also used all of the initial string and had to restring the trimmer with 0.065 string. This is usually my biggest test because I can never get the string on right. I followed all of the intructions and reloaded the string and was able to trim for another hour without fail. I hope and pray this trimmer continues to work. Will keep you all posted. EBApril 2013 - Season II - All is great. Today was our first real spring in Richmond, VA -- 90 degrees -- more like a shift from Winter to Summer instead of Spring. Anyway, I pulled the old B&D Electric Trimmer I purchased last year with my fingers crossed and to my surprise, it worked like a champ. I edged for over an hour --- that's my personal limit --- and all was fine. I must say, it is a lot better than the battery operated model. I changed the string with not problem and I didn't have any string problem until the end. I still have half of the yard to finish tomorrow, so stay tuned. If it gets me pass the more demanding part of the season, I'll give it a 5 Star because the first Spring cut after Winter is the worst. I was anxious but all worked just fine!August 2013 - Great Trimmer! I am going to order another just in case.May 2015 - Spring cleaning and lots of edging....Trimmer worked like a PRO! Trimmed 8750 sq/ft lawn plus flower beds. Worked continuously for 1.5 hours --- when I needed a break. All works well. I'm impressed and I'm ordering a new one today to keep on hand. Five years of heavy use is not bad.

This is our second 16" B & D trimmer. We also have another length B & D trimmer! All work or worked well as we've certainly tried to wear them out! Definitely will continue to purchase them!
Good Corded Trimmer
October 15, 2015
I tried a B & D hedge trimmer that was cordless. The darned thing constantly ran out of battery power before my hedge was finished. So, I bought this corded version. It made quick work of my hedge. Very easy to use. My only complaints are I wish the guard did not have to be screwed onto the product - I had it down at the hedge with the cord, I took it out of the box, and then I had to go back upstairs to get a screwdriver. Since the screwdriver is stored on our 4th floor, that's a pain. Also, I wish they had a corded version that had a shorter blade area. Our yew hedge is planted too close to a wrought iron fence and it's a challenge to trim around the fence. A shorter trimmer would have been easier but this was the shortest corded version I could find. It does make getting the top of the hedge down quick and easy to get level.
Lightweight, Effective & Easy to Use
July 31, 2015
I am quite pleased with the performance of this 16" trimmer especially for the price. While you will have the issue of dragging around an extension cord, the cord attaches firmly and has a cord-catch to prevent it from pulling out of the socket. Since it's electric, there is no concern about charging batteries or losing power in the middle of the job. Also with no battery, the trimmer is extremely light weight and balanced. Except for the hand guard, its fully assembled right out of the box and all you have to do is remove two screws, snap the guard in place and reinsert the screws - it takes about a minute. It cuts through any branch under half an inch with ease and is so light weight its practically effortless to use. To activate the blades, you need to slide the safety/lock button up before you can pull the trigger but once its running, it requires no effort and doesn't tire your hands. Of course, this has moving blades so one needs to exercise caution to avoid a serious injury - in other words don't be an idiot when running power tools or let kids use this thing. Since it's so lightweight it is easy to shape shrubs and the cuts are clean, not mangled though I would imagine this may change as the blades dull. The only complaint would probably be that the guard is made of a flexible plastic , which seems a bit flimsy and it could be a little larger. Still, this sure is a huge improvement over trimming each branch one at a time with hand clippers. Definitely worth the purchase.
I always trust Black and Decker...this is no exception...
April 23, 2015
This is a handy, lightweight trimmer... totally suitable for a small older woman to use. I did a really nice job trimming my bushes on the first attempt. My only complaint was that I had a little trouble a few times getting it started. There must be a trick I don't know, since once it started (in less than a minute) it worked perfectly.My husband and my bushes thank you!
A Gift for My Sister
March 31, 2013
My sister is widowed and approaching her 90's. I inadvertently took her saw when I finished doing a bunch of yard work for her. It was more economical to replace her saw with a new one to replace the one which had seen its better days. It is small enough that she can use it for the limited hedge trimming that she needs to do. She was thrilled to receive it.
Good size for me.
January 30, 2013
I used this on all my front shrubs this fall. I am so glad to find a product I can handle. I am a 64 yr. old woman and am so tired of fighting heavy garden tools. This is just right for me to handle and it gets the job done quickly. And I don't have to fool with charging those darn batteries all the time. Just get out my long ext. cord.

Lightweight, easy to use.
September 12, 2016
The only reason it doesn't get five stars is because the plug (from the extension cord into the machine) falls out very easily. Like really easily. So, I duct taped it in. Other than that, this is just a great little weed eater. I was having so much fun that I may have over done it and my arm was so soor the next day! lol. Lightweight, very easy to get up and running. Great instructions.
It does a good job over all
July 25, 2016
Had it a few weeks and used it several times in the yard. It is very light. I bought it because my wife wanted to be able to use it too, and the gas trimmers were too heavy for her. It does a good job over all. It's very easy to restring and has a self-feeding mechanism so you don't have to keep bumping it on the ground when the string is short. That being said, that is also my only real complaint about it. The line seems to run out fairly quickly, probably due to the self-feeding mechanism. Would I buy it again? Yes.
Good trimmer, maybe just not the best.
August 12, 2015
I had been using the small B&D corded lawn-type trimmer. I decided to buy this one 2 years ago. I have truly loved this unit. The problem is that it's not quite as tough as I thought it would be. I agree with a couple of reviews. The very small screw holding the guard on is "iffy" - should redesign to at least have two screws. The lever under the line spool has broken. Now I know that I need to be a bit more careful trimming. I have never edged, I don't have that type of property. I would be concerned whether this trimmer could withstand difficult edging issues. I did not want to purchase a whole new trimmer, so I've ordered a couple of levers, one to repair and a spare. I just think overall that this unit is a good one, but maybe should only be used for trimming grass in a yard that does not require a great deal of line feeding.

August 27, 2014
Had this for roughly a year now. I have .25 acre with weeds along my fencing, and already had some long extension cords. I've come to prefer this over gas, having been a skeptic. It's lighter, a little quieter (I still prefer ear protection but noise is bearable without), less messy. The head feeder thing isn't perfect, but after a while it is easy to pop off and fix the line. I've never had any head from any brand feed perfectly so can't complain. Would I pay more for thicker line and more power? Meh, hard to say, for the price this one is fine. It also twists and does a great job edging the driveway, as good or better then the metal blade attachment I had for my old gas ryobi. The heads are relatively inexpensive at walmart, when I'm lazy I just buy a couple rather than spend time re-filling the line.
Strong Unit!
March 19, 2014
It does the job well, especially edging. Very powerful, pretty easy to maneuver. - but if you're not careful you can gouge the lawn while trimming along the flowerbeds - pretty powerful machine.Like most (all?) trimmers, it has issues feeding the line and of course the line gets jammed and you have to take it apart to get it going again, (as w/most trimmers/edgers - a RPITA!).We upgraded from an GreenWorks battery powered unit, (BTW, a POS! - low powered, battery only lasted a year), and definitely don't regret the decision purchasing this guy, it's like driving a 500 hp sports car compared to a Yugo.-A
Good Machine
December 16, 2013

I did not like that it doesn't have a trigger lock so that you could keep it operating without having to constantly squeezing the trigger.
Not for 6" branches or bigger--just get a hacksaw.
April 8, 2016
Was expecting a little more bite given the amperage but it clears branches really nicely as long as they're not a third of the blade in size--then it gets wedged there and you have to turn it off and pry it out. Love the safety feature though!
It is light and very easy to use
November 7, 2015
It is light and very easy to use; however, you need to be very careful and should practice before you do any job to get used to it. I accidentally cut my two fingers and had to go to emergency room.
It works, but difficult, painful trigger mechanism makes this extremely annoying to use.
June 21, 2015
This thing is useful for only the smallest of jobs, and even then it is completely annoying. The problem lies in the trigger mechanism, which makes it almost impossible to keep the thing running, and only then, with quite a bit of finger and wrist pain. This poor design also tends to cause the user to lose grip on the device. And i'm no wimp either - I'm a strong guy who does yard and trim work all the time. I actually had to tape the trigger/lock into the "on" position in order to complete what I was doing - a dangerous gerry-rig that I don't recommend anyone try or use. It does seem to cut fairly well - some branch textures more than others, though after only two hours of use, it already seems to be dulling a bit.This device was inexpensive, so I hadn't much to lose (except my fingers, I suppose), but I wouldn't buy it again - not even for small jobs. This seems to be another situation where manufacturers using the cheapest means to meet safety requirements has resulted in a device more dangerous and much less functional than it should be.I'd look elsewhere - maybe not at B&D at all.

May 24, 2015
Probably worth the money. This is a very small unit and should be bought by people who have a very small project. It works for me because I only have 10 feet of low hedge.

Works OK except problems with the line feeder
March 6, 2017
Usually a good brand. I found that while this edger has the power to tackle most light weight jobs, I've had nothing but problems with the line feeder dispensing the line. A total disappointment in that area.
Not quite what I expected but still a good product
December 12, 2016
There wasn't a protective head on the one I got, like I saw in most of the pictures. Like the one in the picture right here. But the size I got was smaller and cheaper I guess.

November 11, 2016
I have problems getting the extension cord to stay pugged in as Im using it. Ive had issues where the blades become undone and it can be difficult to unwind and replace it back into working order. It does get the job done for the very small area I need to use it with.
light duty but works
September 3, 2015
It works but it's not heavy duty. I have a lot of sharp gravel in my yard and if I angle it a little bit too much the thread breaks off and has to be rethreaded. I haven't tried it for edging yet but I'm not going to expect much. But hey, for $40 I saved myself from needing to hire people to mow my lawn after I let it get out of control. And I'm obviously going to let it get out of control again, so it's cost effective.
Light-Duty Trimmer-Ddger
April 24, 2015
It is a very light-duty trimmer-edger... I have been using it for about 2-years now... It is rather quite inexpensive, but the automatic feed (string) doesn't work well and you'll go through a lot of spools (strings), which are not cheap... If you are a professional gardener, then this trimmer-edger may not be for you. The noise level is OK too, but you may want to use it during normal hours...
Cheap and it works fairly well
July 12, 2013
If you are on a tight budget and your expensive high quality trimmer/edger just died, then this will do as short term replacement. It works, but you will burn through quite a bit of the .065 line trimming and edging even a small yard. Lot's of flimsy plastic parts, but, hey it is inexpensive and it works fairly well. I bought plenty of extra line and boy am I glad I did and I also bought the replacement spool cap and spring, because i can tell I will probably need that soon. I will follow up after a few months of use to let you know if the unit is still doing the job.

don't come with cord horrible
Modern Extention Cords Are To Big
June 1, 2016
The hole that you have to plug an extension cord into is NOT wide enough for any modern extension cord. So beware about that. I'm sure this unit would run great but I cant get anything plugged into it without breaking the plug in area or sanding down my extension cord. So I am going with something else.
Ugh.
April 2, 2016
Be aware that a regular orange three-pronged extension cord will not fit in the slot for power. I brought the one recommended by Amazon and it did not fit in the hole. I shaved off a little of the rubber to get it into the hole, and yay! BUT, then I used this thing for all of two minutes before it got stuck on something and now the blades do not move. I am sure I tried to saw something too big or some such, but come on!
Unable to use -- Asking your sincere suggestions?
December 8, 2015
It got here quickly, and looks great, but (based on that) gave it only 2 stars for now because I am unable to get it into use at this point. I was so excited to use it this weekend after reading all the great reviews. However, my extension cord (which would seem-otherwise to be compatible, just an ordinary bright-orange type household extension cord I use for my small leaf-blower and many ordinary items, etc.)'s end is not going into the unit, and is too lage too fit. Is there a special cord of some sort I need to get? I don't know the terminology, but it 'looks' as if it should certainly fit. Can anybody tell me what kind of extension cord, perhaps that I could ask for by name at Lowe's? I think mine is probably 50feet but it absolutely refuses to connect, the "hole/end/unit" on the trimmer itself is just too small. I'm not stupid, just ignorant I guess. And no cord came with it (which I did not expect) so am at a loss at this point. Doubtless it works once I get it started, and I will honestly change my review after I get it working.

But to our surprise when the item arrived we saw that they're not ready for use, the 50 feet chord wont directly connect to this device. The outlet ports holes in this thing is in a hole and you need a special kind of chord for it....which you wont know until you see it in person!!

Too Heavy and Too Long
June 22, 2016
The weed eater I had for 37 years, yep 37 years, finally gave up the ghost two years ago. It was the best and I miss it. I've tried to find one similar but have had no luck and the company no longer exists. I purchased a Toro weed eater which is very good but it's too heavy. I still used it until the line ran out.This year I thought I'd try again. I gave the Toro to my son and bought the Black & Decker ST7700. It's a simple design, it works great, love the automatic line-feed but it is still too heavy for this old lady. Plus, it's too long and not adjustable. (I'm 5'6") I'll probably use it until the line runs out then give it to someone and try to find a different one that doesn't kill my arms when using it.Sure wish I still had my old clunker or could find one like it.

Not working as intended
March 18, 2014
I chose this rating as I seem to have no other way of communicating with the seller. I had another similar trimmer/edger by this same manufacturer and it lasted 10+yrs before I now had to get this new one. However, it is not working as an edger which I really, really need it to do. My old trimmer/edger had a button I pushed in to turn and change the machine to an edger, this does not seem to have this button and no matter how I try to push down to turn the handle it is just not working. I would like a replacement that works or a better explanation than is in the manual as to how to get this machine to edge. If not/none I need to return it.Thanks

Cheap imitation of what B&D USED to be
November 12, 2016
Over the past 12 years, I've owned two Black & Decker corded trimmer's. They last about six years each. After my last one died I thought I could just pick up one similar to my two previous ones. Unfortunately, it's a cheap knock off of what they used to be.I Live in suburbia. Our yards are not that big. After I finished trimming the backyard, the spring feed quit feeding! I try to resurrect it, but no dice. Thank God for Amazon's returns ! Black & Decker USED to make great trimmers. Seems like now it's all about The bottom line and delivering an inferior product. So disappointing.
Not feeding
May 1, 2016
I bought the trimmed trimmer about one month ago. Black and Decker is my company of choice. This is suppose to be a self feeder but it doesn't work. Instead we have to tab it on the grass. Now that too doesn't work. Because we live in south America we forward everything. We also bought extra spools to make sure we had enough stock.Can someone tell us what we're doing wrong . Thanks.
Didn't last a year.
October 14, 2015
I bought this trimmer in late 2013 to replace a B & D string trimmer that had gotten pretty well used and beaten up. Since it was bought late in 2013, it maybe was used once until spring of 2014. Since I have a yard service, I use the trimmer only to clean up a few things that the yard service misses. During one of the uses the string started running and would not stop until the spool was empty. I just put it away and got out my old trimmer. When I finally got around to pulling it apart to see what happened, I saw that the small part that allows the line to advance slowly was gone, making the trimmer unuseable. Very disappointing since I really only used the trimmer about half a dozen times. Didn't see a way to replace the part so, guess I'll have to buy a new trimmer.
Less Than Zero
July 10, 2015
If I could give this pile of junk a rating less than zero, I would. I purchased this, and on the second use it would not work. Being in CA during the draught, the grass is lucky to need cutting once a month. I exceeded my 30-day Amazon return deadline, so I'm stuck with pile of guano. Save yourself some frustration and buy something at your local hardware store so you can return if necessary.

Bought from Amazon Warehouse, thought it just had box damage. Weed eater has loose connection somewhere in motor. Would run for a few minutes, quit, run for a few minutes more. I suspect this was a return that was plugged in, it worked, and put back in the box. In the time it did run, the continuous feed worked correctly. It had a lot more vibration than our previous electric Black and Decker Weed eater. (which lasted ten years) This one was definitely made cheaper than the previous model we owned.
Disappointed isn't the first word that comes to mind when trying to describe this item, but its the least offensive.

Disappointed isn't the first word that comes to mind when trying to describe this item, but its the least offensive. Things started out well enough; it turned on and the string took down some weeds. My experience went quickly downhill when I got to edges/borders. The string did not automatically advance when it broke (too easily), so I was left making lots of noise without any cutting. I suppose you could ask why I was getting so close to the edge, and my answer is that the plastic 'saucer' literally fell of within the first 2 minutes when I bumped it into a flower pot. Yes, it was screwed on tightly and I remain astonished that it happened. I was not swinging it roughly, but gently sweeping from side to side. Seriously, I absolutely DID tighten that one little screw, and really am baffled. Delivered on Monday, first used this morning, return requested this afternoon. Hats off to those users with good ST7700 experiences, because I wasn't one of them.
