BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX String Trimmer and Edger 2 in 1, Cordless Weed Wacker with Auto Spool Feed, Battery and Charger Included, 12 Inch Steel Deck, Reduced Vibration (LST300)

Finally getting to use this trimmer. It was pretty easy to use and put together! Im in my late sixties. Very light weight. Battery lasted till I got the job done. I was thankful for that! I did watch the video while putting the handle and guard on. Took me few minutes to snap on. I will definitely love this trimmer. Ty

It is so easy to use and it is light. The one thing I would suggest is to buy an extra battery . It doesn’t last long . However for the price it is a great product . This was also my first time ever weed eating :)

Convenient, light enough to carry around a while, auto-feed seems to work well, but it's a little under powered. I bought this to replace my corded weed wacker, and it's a little down on power even compared to that. You won't be able to dig grass out of cracks or edge your lawn, but it trims just fine.

Very light and easy to handle! The battery does not last long so I advise buy an extra battery or two. I love this machine! I did my whole yard and was not tired. This has been a life saver.

Well worth the price! Very easy to Assemble, and is quieter than any other Weed Eater I’ve had. The battery lasts a while, and comes with a charger! Used multiple times, and it gets all the weeds.

Works well but the battery sucks, get a second one.

I like the fact that the trimmer is lightweight and easy to use. Unfortunately, I bought it in 2024 and went to use it on my yard and the trigger would not work. I have many batteries that I use for it and it didn’t matter which one that I used it still would not work. The thing that I’m mad about is that the trimmer is only 2 years old and I bought it new, now I have to find a replacement for it. This customer has mixed feelings about this product.

So, I’m female, 5’2” tall, 70 years old, and hate manual labor. I live in a spot in the country carved out of brush and very determined, successful weeds. My weeds aren’t the kind that pop up in the putting green-style suburban lawns. Mine are angry, tough, and used to doing whatever the heck they want. They are the Viking invaders of weeds. They will grab your foot while you’re looking at them and try to wrap you up and drag you into the brush. So I have no choice but to go to battle with them lest the cover, grab, and move my house into the woods. I had my doubts about this weed eater. Since it’s battery powered and lightweight, I wondered if it was a glorified toy. Rest assured it is not. It’s a deceptive beast. I’ve had my share of weed eaters in the never ending endeavor. Name brand, gas powered, weighed about like a cooler full of beer, deafening, taller than me, and inevitably surrender to the weeds. So, I did my due diligence on yet another weed eater, aka money pit, and this one seemed to be the best buzz for the buck. Boy, was I right! First, it’s lightweight! I can easily use it for an hour without breaking my back. The adjustable shaft length and handle position enabled me to fit it to my height and stubby arms. It also self-feeds the string. Excellent innovation. Not once has it clogged or tangled and I didn’t have to continually smack its head on the ground to get it to play nice. It chews through weeds like they are cotton candy. Clean cuts, really fast. Finally, the battery rocks. I’ve run it for an hour and it hasn’t quit on me yet. Recharges in about 15 minutes. And is a breeze to snap on and off. Also, it’s a Black & Decker and the battery fits my B&D leaf blower! On a side note, I have the large B&D humane critter trap and it’s the best. Doesn’t even need a battery. I am so pleased, I was looking for new weeds to buzz just to watch them die. Highly recommend!

First of all, I'm not a handywoman at all. I was spoiled to have others /guys did it for me. Under the current circumstances, I have left with a DIY option or wait till all the weeds are 2 feet high. I was nervous to buy lawn equipment online and to use it the first time. After spending more time research than waiting for the delivery, I finally got it three days ago on amazon prime. Today I was brave enough to open the box and pleasantly found that it is not only super light but also well-built and needs no tools for assembling it. ok, you only need a screwdriver to take the only screw out and put it back when connecting to the main part of the equipment. after charging the battery for about 4-5 hours. I went out to test it. Wow, I am so excited by how easy and effortless this trimmer operates. After spending a good half an hour cleaning up front and backyards weeds, and flower beds, the battery is still working fine. I’m very happy and pleased with the first lawn equipment I own and use it without tears or frustration. Ladies, be brave and try this one, you will like it. now you know why guys call their tools toys. I enjoy using it and the result is amazing too. who does not like a fresh-cut and weed-free lawn?

Nice and light little tool. Takes 5 hours to charge the battery and one the first charge it only lasted 20 mins. Second charge just over 30. Hoping it will increase a bit more. Buy a replacement nylon when you order as the one with the product is super short. Oh and this is imported from the US so you need a step-down converter as well. Kind of working out expensive!

There's a lot to like about this little trimmer. It's relatively lightweight, easy to use, and has enough power for a cordless to make you not regret buying it. The packaging nests the charger out of sight inside what might first be mistaken as just a piece of cardboard to hold the handle secure in the to of the box. If you're not looking for it, you might toss out the battery charger with the box - so keep that in mind. The battery is supposed to take 5 hours to charge from nothing, but I think it only took about 3 hours - either way, you probably won't be using it out of the box. Assembly instructions are provided, but it was so straight forward, I didn't bother reading them, and had it pieced together inside five minutes. You'll need a Phillips screwdriver for a single screw. After I charged it up, I went out to attack the weeds that had been growing unchecked for the last month, and was pleased at the performance. It was able to chew through four foot tall thistles (with a bit of work - they *are* nasty, fibrous, sons of guns if you let 'em grow) with out much trepidation - and could eat through normal grass in a single, unyielding pass. I picked mine up for $85 in June 2018, so my review reflects that price point. Seller shipped quickly, and all arrived as it ought to have. I'd recommend this for anyone who wants to ditch the cord, or the noise (and heft) of a gas powered trimmer.

Fantastic -- light and easy to use. No way I would ever buy a whacker with an electric cord again: LOL! Make sure to charge the battery after single use. The battery is enough for a suburban plot, but it takes a while to recharge. It uses a single line of string, fed automatically. It seems to be feeding very quickly, after about 3 uses. The string constantly gets too long, so it gets chopped off by the blade. There might be a solution to this problem. I got this product on sale--price was a deterrent for me buying a whipper. For the price, I would buy it again. Trim the edges and whack down the weeds killing the grass!

Out of the box, it requires a charge so don't expect to use it immediately. That said, it charged quickly and I was able to do my entire yard with ease. It's light weight. The vibration was much less then a traditional weed eater. Not having a cord to drag around was bliss. It has an auto feeder so if the line breaks you don't have to stop and pull more out. As many of the other reviews stated the refills are pricey but there are less expensive options. This purchase was worth the money spent.
