And the 13” allows to take the grass out of bricked areas. Very easy to restring when strung used up. Self advancing of the string works great. Strong and durable machine and not heavy to use.

- Reviewed in Canada on August 1, 2020Style: String TrimmerVerified PurchaseFirst let me address a thing in the other reviews which almost made me NOT buy this weed whacker. A lot of reviews said that a regular electrical cord head will not fit this weed wacker because the recess was too small, but I had no problem with that at all. The electrical cord which I have and use for all my other power tools, fitted just fine, so I don't really know what these reviewers are talking about.
This edger has the wire guide like my old one which I miss so much. Was looking for one like that and this was the closest . My old one, the wire guide was built in, flip out and in when not edging , this one the wire is removable . But even so you would hardly have to remove it, and if you did have to it does so very easily.
These wire guides for the edges works best, the wheels on the newer models are hit and miss and is a bad idea for edging. The wire guide gives you a clean neat line .
I would definitely recommend this product.
- Reviewed in Canada on August 8, 2022Style: String TrimmerVerified PurchaseI had a B&D for 5 years without issue. I bought this model (5amp instead of 6amp like my previous one) and used it once only to have the spinning head attache to the motor shred and stop spinning. I received a replacement from Amazon and used it once and was super careful to watch if it did the same thing. The string kept getting stuck in the motor compartment and wrapping around. This was with use in less than 3 meters of grass. No weeds or trees. I cleared it and it happened again. I have replacement string wheels so I replaced the one that came with the machine and tried again only for it to do exactly the same. The string release is letting too much string out and it is not breaking. It is wrapping itself around the motor compartment shredding the protective plastic around it and burning out the motor. I've never had so many issues with Black and Decker products but I will not buy again. It is sad because my first one that lasted 5 years was the best! Truly a great product. This model is garbage. I will not buy B&D again because ever since they were bought out, their product line is cheaply made. I cannot return this replacement as it is past the return date (August 6). That was the day I used it for all of 10 minutes only to have it get wrapped and stop working. Truly a garbage product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow,
Style: String TrimmerVerified PurchaseSo far I love this edger, easy to use the auto feed works well as long as you wind the line on correctly, it's very very powerful easy to carry and is also a versatile unit, cut or trim in a direction away from windows and wear glasses, you will be very satisfied if you buy one of these and use it the correct way. Enjoy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not as per Indian standard
Style: String TrimmerVerified PurchaseProduct is of US standard i.e of 120v, which couldn't be use in India as indian standard power is 220-240v. It's of no use in India. Even no power cable provided with the product.
hence would like to return the product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Muy buen precio y prestaciones
Style: String TrimmerVerified PurchaseSuper funcional. La compré porque la de mis papás la necesitaban de modo que estaba buscando algo barato. La potencia es suficiente para desbrozar pasto largo. Es fácil de usar. Mi casa cuenta con paneles entonces no siento un golpe a los kW pero si lo usan frecuentemente probablemente noten un aumento. Eso sí ahorrarán gasolinazo aceite y demás. Es bastante más silenciosa que una de gasolina y no huele tan mal como esa. Obviamente no despide olores ni humo ni nada. El único inconveniente quizás, es si tienen un jardín grande tendrán que dejar que la máquina descanse después de unos 20 minutos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gran Desempeño
Style: String TrimmerVerified PurchaseUna Desbrozadora con excelente costo beneficio, cumple sin problema y sin mayor esfuerzo para lo que fue hecha.
Tiene un motor potente, corto césped muy alto y algo de maleza con absoluta facilidad.
El único inconveniente que le encontré fue que el carrete que trae tiene muy poco hilo, así que les recomiendo comprar el paquete de 3 u otros.
