Editorial Review:
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

Does the job as expected.:
Good balance, good weight, high power. Does the job I've expected with ease. Remember to wear glasses or safety goggles while using!
Black & Decker Grass Hog:
I absolutely love this weedeater. This is my third one. Amazon is the only place I could find this particular model. It works so well that yard work is not a pain! I highly recommend it, but please don't buy all of them since I might want a fourth!
$8 per use:
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:
Have only used it once, but it seems to do a great job and is easy to handle.
