Amazon.com Product Description
The Black and Decker automatic feed trimmer and edger is a powerful, yet lightweight string trimmer. This 13-inch sting trimmer/edger features the exclusive Automatic Feed Spool (AFS) system that automatically advances cutting string without bumping; the system utilizes centrifugal force to feed the trimmer line as it is needed. The 13-inch-diameter cutting path gets the job done fast and the powerful 4.2 Amp motor spinning the line at 10,000 rpm works as a superior unit trimming heavy weeds and grass. The Groom'N'Edge head rotates 180 degrees to convert the trimmer to an edger and from edger to trimmer in a matter of seconds. Used as an edger, the edge guide assists with edging along sidewalks and driveways. A secondary handle is adjustable for increased comfort and control. Weighing in at a mere 5 pounds, this tool has a feather-light design, allowing for less fatigue and more control. The cord retention system prevents accidental cord disconnection for continuous trimming. A 30 day no-risk satisfaction guarantee and full 2-year warranty are provided.

 2 stars is generousFirst June 18, 2008
This trimmer functioned exactly twice for me. While the " no bump " feature sounded like a good option, it was really slow to advance the string. But I was getting a good cut, so I kept going. That is until the machine completely stopped. No amount of cleaning, or rewinding the string
could bring this thing back to life. I never even used up the spool of string which came with the trimmer. Fortunately, I have been offered a full refund which I will take advantage of. Don't waste your time with this trimmer. Sadly this lack of quality seems all too prevalent with Black & Decker home products. So why 2 stars ?? Well, when it worked it did the job.
Second B&D trimmer that burned out! June 13, 2008
My last Black & Decker lawn trimmer lasted about five years before it burned out. I decided to get a more powerful one which is this 4.2 amp trimmer/edger. To use as an edger you push a button and turn the trimmer end vertical. It is not very impressive as an edger, unless you have little grass growing over edge of driveway or sidewalk and do it weekly. A better choice for a edger is a bladed one.
Due to a physical problem a few years ago, I had professionals mow & trim lawn. So, I used the new B&D trimmer rarely. Yesterday I decided to trim some things and when a tiny vine got wrapped around the trimmer head, it burned out. I had not even used one full head of line! It cost $60.00 at Sears and had been used less than a dozen times. A new motor costs $38.00 online for the part. I am now thinking about switching to a 4 cycle motor unit with a cultivator attachment.
My experience with B&D lawn products is not good. However, I have a good B&D drill and a sabre saw that have lasted many years (also, don't use them a often).
My advice: If you get an trimmer that uses a 120V electric cord you pull around, get the most powerful motor you can find. For me, 4.2 amps isn't enough power, although it seems powerful when you are using it. B&D figured that out too: their new units have 40% more power...they are 7 amps! That advice might be useful if buying a cordless one: get the most powerful one, if you can afford it.
 Inexpensive and Cheap April 2, 2008
Used this trimmer 10 or so times, and the first time I replaced the spool line, t6he motor gave and had to get a new one. I did like it when it was working, enjoyed the swiveing head adjustment, but quality lacks.
Sucks January 7, 2008
The entire spool of string only lasts one time on a very small yard. This is a DON'T BUY.
