Review: Around 45 minutes mixed use - excellent price / value balance, plus some tips to help you choose - Summary: easy to adjust, well made and good quality; I get about 45 minutes mixed (high and low speed) use out of a fully charged battery; cutting power and edging very good. As context, I was actually looking for a strimmer with a power cord, as I was expecting cordless ones to be a bit disappointing in performance and battery life. Doing my research, I found that a lot of people feel the same, and I also found that rechargeable strimmers are surprisingly expensive! I also found a lot of unknown brands, which were also fairly expensive, and had very mixed reviews. All this left me unwilling to purchase. So I started again, this time focusing my search on: - brand (focussing on well-known ones like Bosch and Black & Decker) - weight (as I realised this would be a potential drawback given weights of up to 3.5kg I'd found during the first search) - battery life (where I could find it - not all manufacturers give an estimate) - power (I wanted something that would be reasonable for fairly light use; I knew I wasn't going to be clearing undergrowth on a regular basis!) I found that a lot of strimmers now use proprietary blades, which can be difficult to find, cost more than nylon line, and cause regular interruptions to use as they need to be changed fairly frequently. I decided to focus on nylon line strimmers. In the end, this Black & Decker strimmer was one of two on the shortlist, and was my choice due to the price! The other one came without a battery and charger, which added another £40 or so. I won't name the other brand and prices go up and down a lot anyway, but do be aware of accidentally buying a so-called "bare" product! I've used it several times now, including clearing a friend's much larger garden. Using the a mix of the normal (5500rpm) and turbo (7400rpm) I got about 45 minutes use from a full charge, which included a significant amount of "undergrowth" clearing that I wouldn't typically be doing. Your usage will of course be different to mine, but if you're doing normal speed trimming and edging, I'd expect to get 45 minutes to an hour out of the product on a single battery charge, which is hopefully plenty for the majority of gardens. (If yours needs more than an hours trimming each session, you've probably already got a gardener anyway!) Pros: - fairly lightweight (2.1kg) - well-balanced and significant adjustment in length - easy to assemble - uses nylon line, not proprietary blades Cons: - rechargeable battery has a finite life (so get a mains-powered or petrol driven one if you need open-ended usage) Tips: - watch out for "bare" products (i.e. without battery and charger) unless you've already got the battery on other tools from the same manufacturer - check out the weight of the strimmer: there's variation by more than 1kg in otherwise similar models in some cases! - make sure you know whether it uses continuous nylon line or individual blades; I'd recommend line as it's much easier to change and makes continuous use easier Overall, I happily recommend this, and even if it's not for you, do consider if the criteria I've included in the review help you to choose your own (different) one.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this compatible with the black and decker cm100-xj mower base? thanks**
A: No.

**Q: can you change blade from string 
to a metal one?**
A: No you can not put a metal blade on the strimmer it is nynlon cutter and it’s in cassette

**Q: Ok so it comes without a battery but is the strimming line included or would I have to buy this separately?**
A: Yes line included. all you need to start strimming is the battery.

**Q: How do you charge the battery? I bought the battery but no charger - do I now have to buy a charger?**
A: Yes, you do have to buy a charger! It will cost £28/£30  probably slightly less from Amazon. I already had a couple of Black & Decker cordless drills which had batteries and chargers so when I bought the strimmer I didn't need any more as they are interchangeable. Best strimmer and lawn edger I have had.
