Powerful strimmer, has good balance as the weight of the motor is between the 2 handles. Much better than the type which has the motor down at the operating head of the machine, these are very tiring in use. Easy to use, the auto feed mechanism works well and the spool is easy to refill from a bulk reel bought from a DIY shed. Note that Part 8 listed in the instruction leaflet, a parking bracket for the spare spool, is not ( or no longer) supplied with this model.

The spool cable kept snapping but the other plastic blades were great

I bought this strimmer because somebody said it was the Chuck Norris of strimmers and this is exactly what I need to take out some SERIOUS undergrowth, a hidden garden at the back of the real garden unchecked for 5 years. To be clear, this is a WMD not a strimmer. It’s effortless eaten everything I’ve thrown at it, then it got angry at me and it bit me and I needed 1 stitch but I was drunk and I didn’t want to get COVID-19 so I superglued and celotaped myself up. This strimmer is a wild animal. The only thing is you need to buy a pack of 4 of the OFFICIAL “automatic feeding” strimmer wire from Black & Decker and you need to buy some 3mm strimmer wire and you can spool it yourself that’s what I did. Armed with my spools of 3mm strimmer wire (normally used for a petrol strimmer) I went out and continued and the short of it is that it ate my entire garden, it ate several trees, it demolished my entire house then it turned on itself and knawed through its own power chord. Everybody needs a Chuck Norris in their lives 9/10 because it bit me.Read full review

This is a strong effective trimmer - I already own one of these and bought another as 'back up' because I have an enormous and rather wild garden and I know this model copes well. The first which I bought some time ago had a problem eventually with its 'self/auto feed' this probably could have been remedied with a new cap, but I read somewhere on the internet that if you stick gaffa tape over the little lever inside the cap it'll work. I tried this and although it is no longer self feeding it cuts for a v. long time before it needs pulling through. I have found that this 'cure' also saves greatly on trimmer wire/cord/string (whatever). There have been no other problems at all!

A very powerful and efficient strimmer but quite heavy. Turns easily to become an edging tool. The spool autofeeder used the whole spool in less than an hour! I’ve ordered more but if they go as quickly it’ll have to go back. The heavy duty cords lasted a bit longer but it may cost a lot in replacements.
