I just got this tiny machine home to Japan in my luggage and tried it out. Yes, it is underpowered, but that could also have to do with the 100-volt supply here. But that said it does exactly what I need it for, to trim edges where my mower can't reach. It is not really too short for me, and I can swing it like a one-handed scythe because it is so light.
I was totally disgusted with my much more expensive Makita that would never feed the line properly, so I feel the Black and Decker is worth $19.95 for every time I don't need to swear and pull the Makita reel apart to rewind it! |

| We have a large heavy duty gas trimmer which is too big and heavy for me. This little trimmer does the job just as well and I have no problem with the electric cord disconnecting or getting in the way. Great product! Great Price! |

| This is the second Black & Decker ST1000 9-inch 1.8 amp Electric Grass Trimmer we have owned. The first one lasted several years and "wore out", it was used so much. We then went on a hunt to find a replacement in the stores. We could not find a small, electric trimmer. All we found were trimmers that were gasoline or battery powered--too heavy. We went on-line and found that we could order the Black & Decker ST1000. It came in just a few days and we feel so lucky to have our "old Stand-by" again. |

I received my Black & Decker ST1000 two days ago and used it for the first time today. When I first opened it, it was a lot smaller than I expected and it is all plastic. It does't really feel like a garden power tool but then again for $20 I don't think it matters. In general, is is a pretty competent l little power trimmer. I would not use it to clear lots of brush or weeds (I used to have a B&D Grass Hog that worked well for that until the movers stole it!) but for edging grass and cleaning up walkways and along fences, it works just fine. I found I had to go over an area a few times to get it cut properly and that the trimmer tends to cut as well as push down grass so it took longer that I would have liked to edge along the perimeter of the house. We have heavy grass here in Texas because of the heat and I imagine the trimmer would work even better on thinner, softer grass. Bump line feed worked without a hitch but the line breaks pretty easy and I used a lot of it. If I use it every two weeks and don't let the grass grow too high this little trimmer will work just fine for me- until I put out more money for a higher power trimmer.
PROS: $20 is hard to beat for a trimmer like this. Electric (cleaner air), light, small and easy to store.
CON: a bit too short for someone tall like me, the trimmer line it came with is pretty flimsy, not for heavy brush |

| This product is cool, it really do the work, you only have to know that there isn't any power cables in the box, so you have to go to the nearest hardware store and get one to begin with the work that was the only problem I saw in this unit. |
