Rating: - Great product if you have appropriate expectations
I like the whole line of B&D 18V cordless yard tools: Weed Trimmer, Hedge Trimmer, Blower, and Chain Saw. These are clearly homeowner quality. That doesn't mean their bad, just that they're not professional grade. And that's just fine, since I'm not a professional landscaper.
For my standard city plot, I have waaaay more juice than I need with the 3 included batteries. I imagine it's enough juice for a moderate sized suburban lot, as well. If you have a LARGE lot, you may want to go gas.

I now trim and clean up with my weekly mow and my yard looks great. It sure beats pulling cords and $4 a gallon gas!!

Well I also saw the review about the products were great for todays size lawns. This person is correct. Most houses in the western and southwestern US do not have large lot sizes. In some cases one might ask why we even own lawn mowers. I live in Arizona and we enjoy our lawns, trees and bushes. I always hated to drag out the extension cord and all the hassle that was. The combo pack comes with 3 batteries (and the charger for all 3). You can buy more if you ... Read More

Great product for those who do not want to deal with the gas power tools.
Very convenient. While the tools are less powerful than gas tools, they are lighter and get the job done. I have a 1.75 acre lot and the tools do just fine!
