Title: the trimmer part is the worst....
Review: I've had the Black & Decker Grass Hog XP GH1000 for two years, and for two years I've been frustrated. The trimmer spool design is horrible. (mine is not on the recall list) At first, I thought it was just me and dealing with a different type of spool, but in reality it is just the spool. Entire chunks of the green trimmer string unwind and break off, which makes it run out faster. Also, when you purchase a new spool and open it, it completely unwinds into a mess. Attempting to re-wind the trimmer string is impossible because it gets tangled and, therefore, useless. Other than the spool, the rest of the machine works fine, but unfortunately without a spool, it's just an expensive, hand-held motor.
Is the review positive or negative?
