Title: Major defect
Review: This is my second GH1000. Heres the problem: there is a toothed drive belt with metal pulley on the motor and a plastic pulley on the trimmer side. Run this very powerful trimmer for more than a few seconds at full power and the plastic pulley will melt, often times breaing the belt as well. B&D should rightfully recall and replace the plastic pulley with a better one. The feed mechanism works like this, when the strings get short it releases about 18" of string on each side, which will cut through your pants, untill the blade on the cover cuts the string to the proper length. I have been cut more than once. Solution is to manually pull out the strings. Love the power but I am amazed this mess is still on the market.
Is the review positive or negative?
