Negative Positive
Title: Close to Worthless
Review: Like many here, the teeth of the plastic gear that couples the motor to the line shaft melted down after about 15 or so uses. I guess I'm thankful I got that much out of it although I was replacing and respooling line like a mother. It seemed especially eager to eat line when attempting to edge. This was a 2007 model which is apparently not part of their recall as according to their site, "it has already been repaired". The individual at B&D who decided that putting a label over a screw hole was a good idea should be fired immediately although in that organization they've probably been promoted to at least a junior VP status by now.
Is the review positive or negative?
