- Easy assembly. Just had to connect shield to weed wacker, lock it in the base, and attach the trimmer/edger handle.
- Light weight, can pick it up with one hand.
- Compact, can be tucked into a small corner.
- Did exceptionally well on my tall grass! Many sections were well over 6 inches. It took a couple times going over, but this little unit worked great and never bogged down! I kept the wheels at the lowest setting the entire time.
- I didn't find it loud at all. Just a typical weed wacker. Definitely not as loud as a gas lawn mower.
- Wheels adjust from about 1-2 inches high if you like your grass a little taller.
- Handle telescopes out approximately 12 inches. If you are really tall this might not be adequate.
- Briefly used the edger, the wheel was a big help, it did the job fine. Haven't tried the trimmer yet.
- Great for a small to medium size yard, limited space for storage, people with arthritis, seniors, disabled, those who can't lift much weight, and want virtually maintenance free! Besides cleaning, you only need to replace the trimmer cord when it runs out.
Cons:
- Weed wacker locking mechanism into base is poorly designed. Mine popped out several times. It's not a constant problem, but annoying (like the IRS or DMV).
- Power cord came out of the loop in the handle numerous times. A spring loaded clamp would be much better.
- Would be nice to have a grass discharge port in the side.
- Sucks having to rake grass afterwards.
Other:
- Some reviewers said it doesn't come with a power cord. My warehouse item said missing cord but I don't recall the box or description saying it is included. You will need an extension cord regardless. Any standard cord plugs into the 2 prong handle fine. This doesn't require an engineering degree folks.
- I bought a warehouse return to save a little money. It was FILTHY! Previous owner did a bad job cleaning it. I've bought many warehouse items, but never had anything this dirty before. I did get a nice discount so I can't complain too much. Also didn't include owners manual. Maybe I can download a PDF from B&D? These are not product cons as none are B&D fault.

So, you get a little lawn mower, an edger, and a string trimmer, all in one. Never have to charge batteries, batteries never run out of charge, and it's probably as powerful as the most powerful battery operated ones, since it has an unlimited supply of all the power it needs. Dragging around an electric cord is a little cumbersome but again, as long as the yard is fairly small then it's no big deal. I mow as if I were vacuuming a carpet, moving sideways until that 6' strip of lawn is finished then move on to the next 6' strip. That keeps the cord behind me at all times. The edger takes some practice to do well but it's doable and the end result is nice. And when you're done the handle collapses down to save space, which is nice. The one negative is the cord connector which is designed to be used with only their power cords (sold separately) but I was able to squeeze my cord into it and it works fine. Trimmer string feed has not failed, and I know to keep the string cutter clean and sharp. Mower has 3 height positions for different grass heights, easily adjusted. Mower is of course light enough to easily pick up and swing around into position--something you can't do with a regular mower.
All in all it's really cool. Low cost, compact, easy, light, and it works. I almost feel guilty, given the hassle my neighbors have to go through with their mowers and trimmers.
Top reviews from other countries
1) Super easy to assemble.
2) Light weight and yes you do use more of a vacuum motion but it cut at a nice length, it's a great edger / weedwacker.
So far I absolutely love it. It's perfect for my size yard.
I wish it’d not consume too much thread. Works perfect if run straight back & forth.
The trimmer gets off from the lock mechanism if trying to run sideways and/or running sideways on inclined surfaces.
Otherwise perfect tool for the work mentioned.
