Title: No Power, Short Battery Life
Review: The box on the Black & Decker cordless trimmer says the battery will last for 1/2 an acre. This is a useless claim. Is that a 1/2 acre with no trees, fences, curbs, or sidewalks?They should instead tell you how many linear feet it can cut on one battery charge on average. But I suppose if they did this no one would buy it.I feel we have an average size lawn but this string trimmer could not do but half of it before it ran out of juice. To make matters worse it has so little power that it at times did not even have enough power to cut the grass. It would instead just "whip" the grass repeatedly until it fell limp against the ground. The Automatic Feed Spool has a blade that cuts the line if it gets to long. It rarely had enough power to cut it's own line.We attempted to use this string trimmer 3 times before we got frustrated and took it back. We now have the corded version of this same product. It is an excellent product.
