Review: Great for suburban lawn grooming! - So I was skeptical (as most are) that this would not have the power and/or battery life to meet my expectations, but to try to eliminate the need to mix gas/oil etc, I decided to give it a shot. I also wanted something that my wife could easily use - light weight and no pull start. I have only used this once, but here are a few of my observations that will hopefully help you make a decision as to whether this is something you want to purchase or not. 1. Battery Life - the trimmer has 6 different power levels, so you control how long the battery lasts. I used level 4, and didn't really need to bump it up any higher. I was able to groom all of the landscaping around our house on one battery using level 4. The battery was pretty much drained after that, and it took me around 30 minutes. I did buy and extra battery for $50, which I always have ready in case the battery loses its charge, or I simply need more power. I feel like no matter how long the battery lasts, it isn't going to be good enough for some people. The way I see it, you need to look at the job you are trying to accomplish. If you can get it done in 30-45 minutes, then this trimmer (with two batteries) is going to be sufficient for the job. If you are looking at 0.50 acre+ jobs, that might take an hour or more to complete, then you are probably going to be disappointed, because the batteries might not make it the entire job. Make sure you evaluate your situation before making the investment. 2. Power - the power is extremely good for a battery powered trimmer/edger. I was able to cut through some thick grass/weeds around a fence line without even increasing the power to level 6. I could see if you are living in a rural area, you may choose a gas powered trimmer, as you are probably going to be dealing with a larger area and thicker, more rigid vegetation. 3. Lightweight - this is very lightweight. My wife is able to use it without complaining that it hurts her hands or back. It does have a lot of plastic on it, so if you are going to be throwing it in and out of a truck, it most likely will have broken parts. This wasn't made for heavy duty, commercial use. 4. Line Feed - B&D has a very nice auto-feed spool/line system. The line automatically feeds itself out as more line is needed. This is extremely nice, because you don't have to contantly be pulling on the line to feed more through as you bump up against fences, landscaping rocks, etc. 5. Value - this is where you have to make your decision. At $40-$70 per battery, you are commiting to around $200 for this trimmer and two Li-Ion batteries. Most gas powered trimmers run around $80-$100, and you are going to get more power out of them. You could argue that for this alone, this is not worth the money. Assuming the batteries are good quality, I am hoping to make up for it in the long run. I have only used this once, but with the two batteries, I don't see myself having any problems. As I said, the trimmer has PLENTY of power for an urban/suburban setting. I actually shaved a few spots on power level 4, because I got too close. 5 Stars for the kind of lawn I have. Plenty of power, sufficient battery life & lightweight.
Review: Not a Stihl....but for the price I like what I get out of this bad boy! - ***UPDATE June 2017*** (1) Still running strong after all most 3 years of cutting through St. Augustine grass here in Texas. (2) I've had to re-string her 2x now. Not the easiest you'll ever do, but the 0.065 line from Lowe's works ok. Youtube has a few videos showing you how to do it, if you can't figure it out yourself. Key is you have to wind it really tight and line it up perfectly...or else it will jam. Lots of people probably buy the 12-buck 3-pack replacement spools, but I haven't needed to yet...and it will save you quite a bit of money if you can do it yourself. (3) I received the blower counterpart to this for Xmas a couple years ago, along with a 40v battery. Battery life was an issue before if I wanted to do all my yard, but a 36v + a 40v gives me enough juice to whack my whole property and then blow out the driveways and sidewalks. (4) Battery life still seems good. Dont' really detect much functional difference between the 36v and 40v batteries. (5) Good news is you can buy the blower/whacker as a combo for even less than what I paid for mine. (6) Using my dad's gas whacker with double 0.095 inch lines did make me realize how power you sacrifice for running this. It's an adjustment, no doubt about it. (7) The trade-offs from a gas whacker for (a) quiet, (b) virtually zero maintenance, and (c) no gas smell makes up for it. I'm halfway through my 3rd full summer with this bad boy, and the only maintenance has been adding new string. Bumping up from 4-stars to 5....because this really has been a great product! ****Original Review**** I've used my LST136 (w/ 36v battery) for about a full season now. Here's my thoughts so far.... PROS *Significantly more power than the 18vNicad & 20v Lithium tools of a generation ago (as to be expected). If you were underwhelmed by the underpowered older stuff, join the club! But no so with this. I hear things are even a bit better when the 40v 'upgrade'....but I can't say for sure. *The single-stringed trimmer is sufficient for household duties. *The rotating shaft is EXTREMELY easy to use. Takes only couple seconds to rotate back and forth. *Significantly lighter weight than any gas trimmer I've used. *Noticeably quiet. *Charges reasonably fast *Battery test button seems pretty accurate. *No problems with the automatic trim adjuster. *Set battery and go -- no worries about gas smell, mixing gas, tuning the carburetor, etc. CONS *Takes longer to edge same yard. A single-string (.65) trim works...but it doesn't cut through stuff nearly as fast as your .95 trim on an Echo, Stihl, or Hitachi. I suspect it probably takes me on average 33% longer w/ the 36v cordless than with the gas trimmers. *Battery life good, not great. My house is about 2000 sq/ft with about a 6000 sq/ft yard. Not huge by any means, and yet I can't do the entire yard on one charge. The way I get around that problem (w/ one battery) is that I typically alternate front/back trim each week. But even with that adjustment, I figure it still uses about 80-90% of the battery on Levels 2/3. *Battery will get hot if you use it constantly on. And then if you try to charge it after running it hard, expect the charger to allow a 'cool down' period before it can charge. *Tim 'the Toolman' Taylor would NOT be impressed!! BOTTOM LINE If you like yard with a sharp "edged" look around the borders, this might not be the trimmer for you -- it will take quite a bit of extra time (and extra battery life) to get that kind of look. But for the 'Average Weekend Joe' like me, I find it suits my current lifestyle pretty well. I did maintenance/landscaping for 4 years while in grad school, so I know my way around power tools. And there are days where I do miss having an Echo or Stihl in my back pocket when I need to plow through my edges quickly. But for what I need it to do, it get's the job done. And I figure most of the extra time it takes to use the B&D is time I'd be spending making trips to get gas, general maintenance and tuning the carburetor, and the like. I plan to add the cordless blower and trimmer in the future, which was the main reason I bought this to begin with.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The battery failed after just 2 charge cycles
*by C***Y on April 22, 2015*

** UPDATE, APRIL 28 ** After tracking down a way to contact the right person in Black & Decker Customer Service, I have to update my rating and revise my reveiw. Much to their credit, they made good and the replacement battery arrived today. OK, so I already bought a replacement and handed over another $80, but maybe it's a good idea to keep a spare handy anyway. Other than the issue I had with the battery, which has now been remedied, I really like the trimmer. It's not too heavy, it's pretty powerful, and it's a lot quieter/cleaner than my old 2-cycle gas engine beast. It's good for a homeowner with reasonably sized yard. Thank you Black & Decker for restoring my faith in Customer Service and replacing the defective battery without a challenge. ** UPDATE, APRIL 24 ** : For now I will increase it from 2 to 3 stars and maybe more later. After a few unsuccessful frustrating attempts to contact Black & Decker Customer Service by phone I used the email option and explained as below that the battery had failed after just 2 charges. Today I received a reply from Laurett in B&D Customer Care apologizing for in inconvenience and indicated they would be sending a new replacement battery and I should receive it within 7 business days. Now that's more like it! (I guess after so many miserable experiences with the unrelated to this episode but inappropriately named Comcast Customer Service, I had become cynical and lost my faith) If I really get in soon and it works I'll add another a star since I really do like the trimmer and it's performance a lot. It was just a battery issue. Bravo to Black & Decker for making it right! Since I already bought a new battery and charged it I'm stuck with two now, but that's OK since it's probably good to have a spare. _______________________________________________________ I purchased this string trimmer in June. It was fairly light, easy to handle, and worked exceptionally well for the rest of the season. The battery only required a charge twice the entire season, however the battery soon became a big headache. As fall came I removed the battery and kept it indoors for the winter rather than in the tool shed. A friend had advised that I do this claiming that lithium batteries should not be exposed to freezing temperatures for extended periods of time. Last week as spring finally arrived and the lawn needed attention I put the battery in the charger, however it would not take a charge and a red indicator light on the charger was blinking indicating a defective battery. Black & Decker customer service has not been helpful at all and I was advised to purchase a new battery. I have ordered one, however a new replacement battery cost me almost $80! The entire string trimmer new cost less than $150! I find it hard to believe that more than half of the cost of the trimmer is in the battery. A battery that was very well cared for and only had 2 charge cycles on it should not fail in the first place. I cannot recommend this trimmer regardless of how well it works when the battery is functioning.
