Amazon.com Product Description
If you're in the market for a basic, entry-level electric trimmer to handle light trimming work around your house, the Black and Decker 9-inch grass trimmer might be worth considering. While certainly not as powerful or feature-laden as more costly models, this trimmer can handle much of the light-duty work many homeowners need. The trimmer weighs just 3.2 pounds and requires little assembly with just 2 steps. It operates off a reliable, 1.8-amp HP motor, which spins the line at 11,000 rpm. This grass trimmer features a basic bump feed line system, a generous nine-inch cutting path, and a secondary assist handle for added comfort and control. It comes with 20 feet of .065-diameter line, and spool replacement is fairly simple. One thing I found especially handy with this particular trimmer was its unique cord lock system, which holds the extension cord firmly in place while the trimmer is in use. As someone who has accidentally unplugged a trimmer halfway through a job on more than one occasion, this indeed a handy feature to have. This product is backed by a 2-year full warranty. --Carl Thress

 4 1/2 It's Not the Size of the Blade; It's How You Use It October 21, 2004

This small, light weight trimming/edging tool cuts in 9-inch swathes at a time. Because of its size, it is more controllable than the larger (12" - 14") trimmers.
The larger, more powerful trimmers are not suitable for many lawns. I took back one because of its imprecise cutting. The powerful motor resulted in the shredding of a wood edging that separates the lawn from an adjacent mulched area.
One problem with all trimmers is that there is nothing to catch the flying bits of lawn. The only thing that might help in the future is to lay a sheet over the mulched area adjacent to the lawn to catch the cuttings, and move the sheet as I go along. Perhaps this should come with a sheet? Again, the smaller, less powerful machine's precision reduces excess trimmings. This is also a less noisy machine and is easier to store than the more powerful trimmers.
Features include a trimming option so that you can trim lawn under protruding bushes or around rocks, etc. There's also a locking feature for the electric cord. YOu do need to occasionally "bump" the machine (literally lighting hitting it against the lawn) to advance the cutting wire, this takes a little practice to get right. However, the learning curve is fast, after a few outings I thought this was a useful machine and money well spent.

The perfect size trimmer for both tough trimming and delicate yard manicuring. Quiet and easy to operate. You won't find this 9" inch cutting size in most big box stores - but easy to order on line.

I had ordered, received this product few days ago. I bought this because it has 5 stars. The real product doesn't look like that at all. I received a black one, looks like something I bought from $0.99 store. Doesn't show quality like it shown tn the pictures. This is the biggest dissapointment I've ever had since I shopped online. The product that I received has a very low quality product. It looks like it has been used. My husband already asked me to returned and refund the money, but I gave it a 2nd chance. I've received the replacement, it's the same thing. There is no cord or anything to charge the trimmer. It didn't say I have to provide other part, I thought it's all in the box. I was totally wrong about this product. I wonder why those people could rate this product 5 stars. I don't want say negative or bad things on this review but I want to let people know so they don't have to feel like I feel.
