Customer Review: “I’ve been using this BLACK+DECKER string trimmer for a while now and I’m really impressed. It’s lightweight, easy to handle, and starts up right away without any hassle. Perfect for edging and trimming around my yard, especially in tight spots where a mower can’t reach. The cutting power is strong enough to handle thick grass and weeds, yet it’s not too heavy to use for longer periods of time. I also like how easy it is to replace the string and adjust the handle for comfort. For the price, this trimmer is a great value and makes yard work much easier. Highly recommend it for anyone who wants a reliable and easy-to-use weed eater!”

Customer Review: “I’m really impressed with the BLACK+DECKER BESTE620 string trimmer! For an electric model, it packs a surprising amount of power. It easily handles overgrown grass and weeds around my yard, and the 14-inch cutting swath makes quick work of trimming even larger areas. One of the things I love most is how lightweight and easy to maneuver it is. I can trim my entire yard without feeling sore afterward. The adjustable height and handle make it comfortable to use, and the automatic feed spool means I don’t have to keep stopping to adjust the line — a huge time saver! Another bonus is the 2-in-1 feature: it converts from a trimmer to an edger with a simple twist. Super convenient for keeping sidewalks and garden edges looking neat. If you’re looking for an affordable, efficient, and easy-to-use electric trimmer for regular yard maintenance, this is a solid choice. Highly recommend!”

Customer Review: “Very efficient and lightweight. The adjustable handle makes it easy to control. The button control string length adjusts perfectly for razor cut precision. It is the perfect size for my residential needs, is quiet enough to operate without hearing protection.”

Customer Review: “The good folks at Greenworks have another hit. This 60V cordless string trimmer hits that sweet spot of having enough power without feeling like overkill. This 60V unit has the power to blast through all sorts of weeds, and the 4 amp hour capacity lasts long enough to get most medium and some larger jobs done in one charge. It is definitely comparable to a 25 cc gas powered string trimmer, but without the hassle or noise. Unsurprisingly, this battery powered string trimmer is relatively quiet, unlike its gas powered cousins. Also unlike gas powered, it is very simple to use. Just put in the battery and go. The weight is comparable to a gas powered string trimmer. It isn’t feather light, but it comes with a strap that helps a lot. I can use it for an hour and not feel completely wiped out. I also like that I can use attachments with it. I happen to have a couple of attachments from other brands and they worked perfectly fine with this string trimmer. Specifically, I have used a pole saw and a hedge trimmer attachment with it. Both made quick work of the job at hand. I also appreciate that it comes with a high capacity battery and charger. I’ve seen others that only come with a smaller capacity battery, or perhaps none at all, but this is a good one and done starter set that will serve you well. It also comes with a bit of 080 string. When it runs out, I plan to use 095 string, but even the 080 is quite durable and effective, which is why I haven’t used it all up yet. I often see this particular string trimmer listed at far below the list price, and I consider it to be a very good value. So, skip the bargain trimmers at the big box stores and get this instead. I’ve owned several string trimmers over the years and had issues with all of them, but this one is a keeper. This is likely the last string trimmer that I’ll ever need.”

Customer Review: “I recently purchased this weed eater, and it performs impressively. It powers through thick grass and weeds effortlessly, and the battery-operated design is convenient and easy to use for most yard tasks. However, the battery is a significant drawback—it’s very heavy. At 5’2” and 125 pounds, I found it tiring to handle for long periods, as the weight throws off the balance. For someone my size, I’d recommend going with the 20 or 40 model, which likely have lighter batteries for better maneuverability. Overall, it’s a great weed eater for the price, but picking the right model is key for comfort, especially for smaller users.”

Customer Review: “My father had an electric hedge trimmer that he said didn’t cut much of anything. I tried it once and it was totally useless. More like massaging the bushes. Consequently I inherited from him the habit of using manually operated shears. Finding one of those with straight blades that actually cut was kind of annoying. After watching a couple yard care Youtube videos decided to try an electric trimmer. Due to the experience above I suspected I needed to spend $70 on one of the big ones to get one that could really cut. The 24” (22”? B&D’s were out of stock when I was ready to purchase so I bought this one based on the reviews wondering if it could live up to those reviews. For the low price I had severe doubts. Cue parting clouds, sunbeams, and trumpets. Hey, this thing actually cuts! In 20 minutes I cut what would have taken a couple days with the shears. The limiting factor was greens waste bin space. Stuffed a couple and had to stop. Plus shaping was much easier so the bushes look better. I used a 100′ “contractors” extension cord I bought on Amazon, actually I bought two different cords for different uses, so I test fit both and both sockets fit the trimmer. The wire fit in the hole for the retention hook and I had no problems with the cording popping off. It has trouble cutting thicker woody branches (perhaps around a half-inch) but that matches the description so no problem. It appears to be a trade-off. In exchange for being very light and easy to handle, you trade-away the cutting power of a higher amperage motor and the reach of the 22″ and 24″ trimmers. So if all your bushes are not much taller than you are and you don’t have to reach back too much, then this one is great. If you have giant bushes with thick branches then you might want more power and reach. Extremely happy with this purchase. Less effort, more productivity, less time, bushes look better, and for a low cost.”

Customer Review: “I am so happy I bought this electric saw. I was skeptical that it would be worth it to trim my boxwoods, but I am oh-so glad I tried it! I bought it because a few days before I’d trimmed just one of my boxwoods and it took most of the afternoon, by hand, and I was hot, my hands were sore, and I was tired. I figured, “Good grief, I’ve gotta try something different or I’ll be trimming for a week.” So I ordered this 17″ saw, and frankly, I’m amazed at what a good job it did! Not only did it trim my largest boxwoods, it also trimmed my tall, thick hard wood stemmed euonymus’s. I usually have to get out my arm length heavy-duty clippers to battle those. I didn’t think this little saw would cut through their tough thick boughs, but it did. All within just minutes, rather than hours, and days! I had so much fun I started trimming other things I hadn’t thought of- and best of all, I used it to trim my tough ivy off some boulders they’d completely swallowed up a few years ago. It was easy-peazie, just swooped them back and forth slightly above the face of the rocks, the saw did it all- broke the ivy, and trimmed it so beautifully-done in moments. Normally, I’d be out there for hours on my knees, clipping with my hand clippers, and sweating amongst spiders on the ground, trying to fight bugs and the ivy off. Instead, I was done with all my work in less than a half of an afternoon. I even trimmed the heavy large vinca which always tries to take over my path-and which I normally have to slowly cut by hand, but it was cut with this saw like a hot knife through butter- what fun! All in about the same time it takes to walk down the path. No kneeling at all! Normally it takes me hours and hours on my knees on the gravel to do that path. I’m an older woman and had no problem with the weight using this. My hands weren’t tired when I was done. Seriously, why didn’t I buy this a lot sooner? I think next spring I’ll plant more boxwoods. WooHoo!”
