Title: A Real Disappointment
Review: I've used all types of string trimmers over the course of the last 25 years. About a month ago, I decided to get a new trimmer, so I cracked open the Consumers's Report and noticed that this one was very highly rated. Good enough, I thought, so I ran down to the local big box lumber store and bought one. However, I should have researched deeper and read the user's reviews at Consumer Report and also here at Amazon. They tell the real story. In my opinion, Consumer Reports really missed it on this one.It cuts great. It has more than enough power. The trouble is the self-feeding line feature that sloughs off line at an incredible rate. This is not adjustable. A good 3 to 4 minutes is all that the fully loaded reel will last. The large chunks of wasted line being cut off and slung is dangerous and will sting through jeans and break the skin if shorts are worn.
Is the review positive or negative?
