Title: Downhill slide for B & D
Product review: I had the older version of the Black and Decker Grass hog which served me well for over 15 years and was easy to reload. The motor finally gave out and I replaced it with what I thought was a similar but new and improved model. Huge mistake. This thing worked fine for most of the first reel, but cannot get it to feed correctly after that, whether I buy their over-priced "factory-wound" reels or load it myself. I have spent far more time changing or fixing the reel than actually using the product. Do these engineers ever actually use these products before they send them to market? B & D used to mean quality but they have clearly given that up as a corporate value.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
