Amazon.com Product Description
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

Avoid at all costs - Printer Cartridge Marketing Tactics: Rating: 1/5
This is one of the most infuriating products I have had the displeasure to use in some time. It is engineered to do 1 thing and 1 thing only, and the thing it is designed to do is not to whack weeds, it is to sell you laughably overpriced string replacement cartridges. The product worked marginally the first time I used it on my 1/4 acre yard. The motor vibrates a lot, which caused the power cord to vibrate off the prongs causing the unit to loose power. Half way through the yard, I had to go get a piece of string to tie the power cord tightly to the unit so that it would not rattle loose. The second time I used it, it ran out of string in the first couple minutes necessitating a trip to the local home center for replacement. The replacement string spools are seven dollars a pop. I refuse to spend 7$ additional dollars each time I mow my lawn to replace what amounts to 5 cents worth of plastic string. Attempts to wind my own on to the spool resulted in hours of cursing and unusable results. I am offended that companies are designing things to require continued expense. Black and Decker has just landed on my list of companies NEVER to be purchased from again and this thing is going back to the home center I purchased it from. Shame shame, this thing smacks of the same kind of profiteering of printer cartridges and savings account maintenance fees, which, unfortunately is becoming far to common. Poor design, and seedy marketing make me discourage any potential buyers.

A Fantastic Trimmer and Edger !: Rating: 5/5
Even though you need to plug it in, my husband has been pleased with the performance of this trimmer for over a year now and asks for no other! He ordered more of the cutting twine only once and it lasts forever even though we have tons to trim and edge in the spring and summer. This Grass Hog takes alot of abuse too, but still starts up great and cuts clean. Totally recommend it.

Works great--for awhile: Rating: 2/5
I bought this from a local hardware store and it worked great for about 3 months, then the rotor stopped spinning. I just brought it back and swapped it out for a new one. This one has lasted a year, and had the same problem--motor running but the rotor was not spinning. I opened it up to find that the belt had broken and looked very frayed (there were small rubber pieces strewn throughout the motor area.

I won't buy another, and am very disappointed with B&D and won't buy another hog. I had a Toro before these that lasted 6 years and worked fine. Don't know what I'll get next.

Plastic gear melted: Rating: 1/5
I purchased this grass hog 4 months ago. I've used it twice for light trimming and the third time I used it, the drive belt melted off the plastic motor gear which connects to the string wheel shaft gear (metal). In essence, the thing is ruined. Yes, the engine is powerful, but worthless if the connection to the string wheel shaft is so cheap it melts. Unbelieveable design flaw.

Don't buy this trimmer!: Rating: 1/5
I returned the 1st GH600 because the line would not feed. I threw the 2nd one in the trash as a reminder to myself this is not the Black & Decker that used to make good tools. This Black % Decker makes JUNK.
