Review: Quality. - Fantastic product, the line spools come ready loaded, and it self feeds the line, it's so easy to use, and the spools are cheap to buy.
Review: Around 45 minutes mixed use - excellent price / value balance, plus some tips to help you choose - Summary: easy to adjust, well made and good quality; I get about 45 minutes mixed (high and low speed) use out of a fully charged battery; cutting power and edging very good. As context, I was actually looking for a strimmer with a power cord, as I was expecting cordless ones to be a bit disappointing in performance and battery life. Doing my research, I found that a lot of people feel the same, and I also found that rechargeable strimmers are surprisingly expensive! I also found a lot of unknown brands, which were also fairly expensive, and had very mixed reviews. All this left me unwilling to purchase. So I started again, this time focusing my search on: - brand (focussing on well-known ones like Bosch and Black & Decker) - weight (as I realised this would be a potential drawback given weights of up to 3.5kg I'd found during the first search) - battery life (where I could find it - not all manufacturers give an estimate) - power (I wanted something that would be reasonable for fairly light use; I knew I wasn't going to be clearing undergrowth on a regular basis!) I found that a lot of strimmers now use proprietary blades, which can be difficult to find, cost more than nylon line, and cause regular interruptions to use as they need to be changed fairly frequently. I decided to focus on nylon line strimmers. In the end, this Black & Decker strimmer was one of two on the shortlist, and was my choice due to the price! The other one came without a battery and charger, which added another £40 or so. I won't name the other brand and prices go up and down a lot anyway, but do be aware of accidentally buying a so-called "bare" product! I've used it several times now, including clearing a friend's much larger garden. Using the a mix of the normal (5500rpm) and turbo (7400rpm) I got about 45 minutes use from a full charge, which included a significant amount of "undergrowth" clearing that I wouldn't typically be doing. Your usage will of course be different to mine, but if you're doing normal speed trimming and edging, I'd expect to get 45 minutes to an hour out of the product on a single battery charge, which is hopefully plenty for the majority of gardens. (If yours needs more than an hours trimming each session, you've probably already got a gardener anyway!) Pros: - fairly lightweight (2.1kg) - well-balanced and significant adjustment in length - easy to assemble - uses nylon line, not proprietary blades Cons: - rechargeable battery has a finite life (so get a mains-powered or petrol driven one if you need open-ended usage) Tips: - watch out for "bare" products (i.e. without battery and charger) unless you've already got the battery on other tools from the same manufacturer - check out the weight of the strimmer: there's variation by more than 1kg in otherwise similar models in some cases! - make sure you know whether it uses continuous nylon line or individual blades; I'd recommend line as it's much easier to change and makes continuous use easier Overall, I happily recommend this, and even if it's not for you, do consider if the criteria I've included in the review help you to choose your own (different) one.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi, I also notice that there is no mention of a charger.  Can the person who queried this before confirm that they did receive a charger too.  Thanks**
A: Yes a charger is enclosed with the battery, in fact it is a nice neat small charger and dosen,t take up much room,

**Q: What is the full charge- up time from empty?**
A: To my surprise the charger included is pretty slow, it works at 0.4Ah. Theoretically a 2Ah battery would take 5h to charge from zero. Although lithium batteries never discharge completely (they would die), so it will take less than that. You can expect 3h to 4h to fully recharge an empty 2Ah battery.
Hope it helps.

**Q: It says battery is included but no mention of a battery charger. Anyone confirm that it comes with both a battery and appropriate charger?**
A: Yes it does come with charger. Absolutely brilliant strimmer.

**Q: is the head adjustable**
A: You can rotate it through 90 degrees so that it can be easily used vertically to trim edges of lawns or horizontally to cut grass/weeds etc up to a vertical surface like a wall. It is very easy to to do with the locking mechanism just below the handle area. Generally I have to say that I have found this to be a great garden tool - one of the best buys I have ever made.

The 28 cm cutting swath is a sweet spot for both precision and coverage. Battery Life - Lasts Long Enough: The 2.0Ah lithium-ion battery is a winner. It lasts long enough to get all my trimming done in one go, which is all I can ask for. Plus, it recharges pretty fast. Maneuverability - Light and Easy: It’s super lightweight and easy to handle. I can zip around the garden without feeling like I've had a full workout. No cords dragging around is a major plus. Noise Level - Surprisingly Quiet: It's quieter than I expected for a trimmer.

It’s easy to use, effective and doesn't tie you down with a cord. So, for anyone who’s after a reliable, no-fuss garden tool, I’d say give this one a go!
