Editorial Product Review:Item Description:Put the finishing touches on your landscaping with an electric string trimmer. Convenient and lightweight design is great to keep up with general maintenance.
Amazon.com Item Description:If you're in the market for a basic, entry-level electric trimmer to handle light trimming work around your house, the Black and Decker 9-inch grass trimmer might be worth considering. While certainly not as powerful or feature-laden as more costly models, this trimmer can handle much of the light-duty work many homeowners need. The trimmer weighs just 3.2 pounds and requires little assembly with just 2 steps. It operates off a reliable, 1.8-amp HP motor, which spins the line at 11,000 rpm. This grass trimmer features a basic bump feed line system, a generous nine-inch cutting path, and a secondary assist handle for added comfort and control. It comes with 20 feet of .065-diameter line, and spool replacement is fairly simple. One thing I found especially handy with this particular trimmer was its unique cord lock system, which holds the extension cord firmly in place while the trimmer is in use. As someone who has accidentally unplugged a trimmer halfway through a job on more than one occasion, this indeed a handy feature to have. This product is backed by a 2-year full warranty.

Good, Light-Weight Trimmer
I have used this trimmer several times in the three months I've had it and am very pleased with it's performance. It works well, is extremely light-weight and reasonably priced. I have a back problem and needed a trimmer that wouldn't put any strain on my back and this trimmer fit the bill.

Cheap and does the job
Although it takes some practice to get the result you want, the price is right and it does the job. Also suitable for small patches of grass.

Thrilled
I bought this trimmer because I recently had surgery on my elbow and had trouble using my heavier weed eater. I love this product I can use it one handed and I have no trouble with it hurting my arm!

Perfect for a small patio
I have a small patio and don't need a lot of machine. The other reviews that I read on here helped me with the purchase. It is perfect if you don't want to do a major job.
