BLACK+DECKER Cordless Grass Strimmer 36V BATTERY NOT INCLUDED (Bare), BCSTA536B-XJ

I had the predecessor to this one, which lasted over five years. Eventually the spool housing literally broke away from the motor, but things made of plastic won't last forever. This updated version is a straight model, with your forearm resting on the battery end. I preferred the previous model which had an angle on that end. This version also does not have the eco/turbo dial to gradually control the power, rather a low/high switch. Again, I felt the previous version was better. However, so far the line seems to be fed out without having to stop and do this manually, something the previous version did have issues with. It's important to buy replacement spools with the line, as buying line and manually winding it onto a spool never helps the auto feed work correctly. The cutting width is a welcome 3cm wider than the previous one too. All in all a fabulous, powerful, quality tool, which I hope I get at least five years out of, like the last one. Conveniently the battery is interchangeable with the cordless hedgecutter, also a great machine.

It's a big, cordless, well built machine but is quite heavy. Trims and edges very well. The auto replenish feature for the cutting wire works well and the adjustable extension facility caters for the tall and the small user. My main criticism is the so-called "upgrade" to the handle at times makes the strimmer quite awkward to hold. The previous model which had a proper handle with an integrated trigger was a much better design. Good battery. On the whole I am very pleased with this machine but would much prefer a proper handle and integrated trigger mechanism..

Well made and everything works straight away out of the box. The streamer has a good grip and every operation has been well planned and built. I throughouly enjoyed using it .It cuts all sorts of grass including Netle and also small sooting of trees. Well Done Black and Decker.

My old 9 year old Black & Decker cordless strimmer has given me sterling service over the years. It has been used on a 3 acre paddock every Spring/Summer and has been a real work horse. However it was getting the worse for wear and the battery no longer holding it's charge. The new version has a completely different handle at the top and a shaped handle further down. It is very light and comfortable to use. The only difference is that I get a vibration from it which I didn't get with my old one. However if I wear a glove on my left hand that seems to solve the problem. My only complaint would be is that you can only have it on High or Low speeds. My old one had a turning wheel to enable you to go from low to high gradually and to have it in between speeds thus saving the battery. I prefer this. I used to get a sore back with my old one but don't with the new one so that is a plus. Hope this one gives me as good service. Would recommend.

Third of these I have owned over ten years, this ones a wee bit different. They have rethought the battery position, god alone knows why (It wasnt broke...why fix it?!) Feels a little clumsy, but maybe just me being used to the previous "Drop handle" design..time will tell, but its hardly likely to be deal breaker. Speed control is now a "Hi-Lo" switch. As I always ran my others constantly on high, this is also a difference that makes no difference. Cutting width has grown by a couple of centimetres, (Yippee!) In all other respects, this is still the best cordless machine in the market. (Lost a point on "Lightweight", as still not sure about new battery position) Problem...If , like me you own the lawn mower attachment for the 36v, the wider blade cover at 33cm will not fit! They have also slightly redesigned the head so it no longer locks in place, even if you are innovative enough to swap the cover for the older, smaller one! (Probably voiding the warranty) Thanks B&D for making a hundred quids worth of kit redundant!

I have had this unit for over a year now and it has done a lot of work. This is the 3rd one I have had over the years, the previous two were of the previous model, so I am a fan. Firstly it is a well made and very sturdy unit, it feels strong and in this is an improvement. Unfortunately Black and Decker made the huge mistake in relation to the regulation of the power/Speed of the unit. The previous model had a wheel which you used to adjust the power from Low to High and all in between. This unit only has two settings low or high, this means that you end up having to use more power in some instance's than you want to or is necessary. If Black & Decker read these reviews, please bring back the wheel. The head of this unit can be rotated for edging as is standard on these machines. I once many years ago had one (Different make) that you could change the angle of the head, I found this very use full and it also made some area's alot easier to do and reduced strain on you arms and back, unfortunately none of the major brands do this and it is a pity. Overall I would recommend this unit and hope the manufacturer considers my suggestions for improvement.

Um ganz ehrlich zu sein, ich hätte es nicht für möglich gehalten, dass ein Akku Rasentrimmer so gut sein und zugleich so viel Spass bei der Gartenarbeit bereiten kann. Vorbei ist die Zeit der lästigen Elektrokabel oder der schweren "Benzinstinker“, die zudem sehr laut sind. Der Rasentrimmer arbeitet zuverlässig, relativ leise und leistungsstark. Der Akku hat, - wie von Black und Decker gewohnt - . viel Leistung und so geht auch letztlich alles sehr schnell in den Arbeitsabläufen. Ich habe bereits die 36 V Akku-Heckenschere von Black und Decker, womit ich auch sehr gute Erfahrungen gemacht habe und wo ich den Akku problemlos auch für den Trimmer nutzen kann. Besonders bemerkenswert ist auch die wirklich absolut selbstständig arbeitende automatische Fadenverlängerung ! Man muss wirklich nichts dafür tun, sodass es auch zu keinen lästigen Arbeitsunterbrechnungen kommt, wie ich es von anderen Trimmern kenne. Nun fehlt mir nur noch der dazu passende Akku Rasenmäher,- den ich mir sicherlich auch noch zulegen werde. Alles in allem bin ich mit dem Rasentrimmer sehr zufrieden und gebe ihm daher 5 Sterne und meinen Dank an Black und Decker .

Leggero, pratico e funzionale, filo autoestraente, batteria comune con altri strumenti. Adatto a rifiniture, ovviamente non a taglio erba se non per piccoli ritagli di prato. Da verificare la robustezza nel lungo periodo, finora usato solo 4/5 volte.

Rotor bloqué. Demande assistance pour Reparation.

estoy muy contento con esta maquina, prácticamente la uso como una destrozadora, con los limites que tiene que use un hilo tan fino. corta muy bien, pesa poco y se maneja y transporta muy fácilmente . lo poco que no pude cortar sería también muy difícil de cortar con una destrozadora de gasolina e hilo de 3 o 3,5, eran cosas que requerían del disco de metal

Lo esperado
