Amazon.com Product Description
Every home lawn enthusiast needs a reliable trimmer. When it comes to performance in the front or back yard, the Grass Hog 14-inch automatic feed string trimmer and edger provides what you need. This tool is powered by a 4.8 Amp electric motor that spins the line at 9,500 rpm and gives you a 14-inch cutting swath. An Automatic Feed Spool (AFS) system eliminates the need to bump the trimmer against the ground every time the line breaks. And the 30-foot, factory-wound spool is easy to install and replace. Head adjustment is quick and easy, too, when the Groom'N'Edge head rotates 180 degrees; just press the button, rotate the handle and wait for it to lock in place. The patented cord retention system helps prevent accidental unplugging while in use. This trimmer comes equipped with an auxiliary handle for added comfort and control. The handle rotates a full 360 degrees and the soft grip can be moved up and down to ensure the perfect fit, whatever size the operator may be. A flip-down edge guide ensures precise trimming and edging work. At just 5.2 pounds, this product is easy for just about anyone to use. This product is backed by a 2-year full warranty. --Carl Thress

 $8 per use September 24, 2008
This thing goes through a spool every time I use it. I ended up throwing it in the trash. The auto feed doesn't know when to quit. As it gets near the end it starts spewing out too much and ends up shooting the remaining string out at high velocity. Useless, and dangerous.
 So far, so good September 17, 2008
Have only used it once, but it seems to do a great job and is easy to handle.
Best Yet! September 16, 2008
This is the 4th Weed Wacker that I have owned and I have to say that it is by far the best. It really does a great job and fast.
 This Grass Hog is worth every dime September 15, 2008
I am a long time B & D consumer from yard care products to household items. I needed a new trimmer without having to spend a fortune in the process, and came across this little gem.
As the name implies, it eats up(or more aptly through) some of the thickest spikes of grass, to the weeds that are common trouble makers in one's landscape. The two-in-one on board edger works quickly and efficently and gives a great manicured look. If the electric trimmer is more your speed, like me, trust me it is worth purchase price. Way to go, B&D!
junk September 12, 2008
I purchased one of these from the local Home Depot, it went through the courtesy reel within the first hour, just long enough to trim and edge the front yard.
the reel cover was extremely difficult to remove, once the dual reel was in and the wrestling match to reinstall the reel cover was over the trimmer proceeded to disgorge itself of the string within the first five feet or so, what didn't attempt to weld itself to the housing, spilled all over my back yard.
This "trimmer" has found a new home at the local landfill, and is the last Black and Decker product that I will ever purchase
