The trimmer does what it was designed to do. It handles all of my trimming needs with ease. It CT’s through stems 1/2 thick on my hibiscus bush. And, trims my pepperwood tree well. I have a small yard with few bushes that need trimming and it is the right size and power for my needs.

watch your extension cord I sawed through mine without noticing until the trimmer stopped, thank goodness I tripped the plug but went right through a heavy duty extension cord.

This is my second Black & Decker trimmer. My old one wasn’t sharp anymore so I bought this one. This one cuts really well and has a 4″ longer blade so I can cut more per sweep. BUT IT DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO LOCK THE TRIGGER LEVER so you must keep pulling the lever with your finger during the entire time you are cutting. I don’t know about you, but when I am trimming my hedges, I’ll be working at it for at least an hour at a time and that just makes this model harder to use. That’s why only 3 stars. Just seems basic to me that you’d be able to freeze the on/cutting trigger without keeping your finger pressing the lever all the time.

This was a very affordable trimmer and I was amazed by the quality. If I were handed this product and guess it’s value, I would pay about 3 times as much. Easy to set up, simple to use, very convenient.

Used this trimmer one time since purchase 3 months ago.Lightweight and maneuverable, this trimmer helps avoid hand and arm fatigue. The cut is clean and does not mangle the vegetation. Power seems adequate for the size of stems it is designed to cut.Durability and longevity are unknown, not clear how often blades will need to be sharpened, or if they can be sharpened.One small irritation factor, once the guard is installed (keeps your fingers out of blades), the trimmer will no longer fit into the box. Not sure there is any reasonable solution to this, except for a bigger box.

I needed a replacement for a low end Craftsman that lasted many years . This Black & Decker appears to be the solution. We will see. I only need to trim several Holly and Boxwood.

This is a perfect trimmer for cutting bushes. We used to borrow it from the neighbor but have finally decided to get our own. Highly recommended.
