 "Disappointing" 2009-07-22
By Chuck (Texas)
I bought this attachment with high hopes that it would give me a nice, clean, edged driveway and sidewalk with little effort. It did neither. Like someone else mentioned, it vibrated. A lot. And for what? The only difference I could see was dirt that had been thrown up onto my driveway. I've had better luck just turning my trimmer to the side. I ended up returning this item.

 "Would not recomend" 2008-05-03
By S. Mumbauer (Sellersville, PA)
I bought this edger attachment five days ago. I used it for a total of 75 feet before it stripped the ez-link on my trimmer. Now I can't use my trimmer and it was like new before. I called Troy-Bilt and their parent company MTD. They stated it was not their problem as my trimmer was no longer under it's 90 day warranty. I now have to either pay out of pocket to fix my trimmer or upgrade to a quality made unit.

 "Only one engine to worry about" 2007-07-27
By Marvin Biver
I got most of the attachments for the Troy Bilt string trimmer: chain saw, edger, blower . . . now I only have one engine to worry about. So far, it's great.

 "Ok if you don't have much side walk I guess...." 2006-07-02
By Carrie M. Reeder (Iowa)
If you're sidewalk isn't badly overgrown, or if very short, you MIGHT be ok with this. I have a TB475 4 stroke weed eater, and it just wasn't enough power to do it without getting a permanent case of the shakes from holding the trimmer at full throttle (vibration) that long. If you have more than about 30 ft total to do, I would seriously consider finding a "real" edger. I found a 3.5 hp one used at a garage sale for 1/3 the price I paid for the attachment. Also, this item is made by MTD, which isn't exactly regarded as Gold Standard of quality and crafstmanship. Keep that in mind when purchasing also.

REVIEW:The advantages of a cordless electric trimmer are obvious: it's quieter than gas (and smells better); there's no cord to trip over; you can take it anywhere without having to worry about whether there's a socket nearby. Before you take the plunge, however, you should consider the downsides. First, a 12-volt battery can only provide so much power-you wouldn't want to use this trimmer for clearing an overgrown lot. Second, batteries have to be recharged; if you expect to do more than a half-an-hour's trimming at a time, you may run out of juice before the job's done. In short, this is the trimmer to buy if you think you'll be doing light to medium trimming jobs that take no more than 45 minutes to complete.

If your job meets these criteria, Troy Bilt's TB55B is really a pleasure to use. The straight shaft makes it easy to reach under shrubs and bushes, and the adjustable D-handle lets you use the unit left- or right-handed with equal comfort. At 12 volts, this trimmer will handle all but the thickest, wettest grass. Like most trimmers, this one features a bump-head release for easy, quick line feed on the fly.

The trimmer comes with the 12-volt battery and charger included. Make sure to follow the instructions for recharging in order to get the maximum life out of your battery. Two-year limited warranty.--Josh Dettweiler

 "Good for lite trimming" 2007-08-08
By Tom E. Lambert (hampton, georgia United States)
I had this trimmer for a couple years,I Just don't like trying start those gas ones ,you know pull a million times on a foot long string that has the grunt sound and almost starts and stalls,so anyway after my weed eater brand electric smoked out I asked for 1 of theses as a Fathers Day gift and tried it out.It Is good for carrying around and not having to drag out the cords , but you learn that any thick spots such as down the edge of a driveway or you know when the grass tries to grow over the sidewalk and you try get cut it back? well those really wear out this trimmer,it good for light trimming mailboxes and on the sides of the house .but it starts loosing power quick and when trimming you need that high rpm that can really get through some thick spots .this trimmer lacks that so I had to get another corded trimmer which is a monster compared to this trimmer



Also it is heavy at the top , but for ease of use it is good for small jobs ,but don't think this is like a gas powered or a corded trimmer

it simply is not

A replacement for my elderly and ailing Ryobi 150R!I tried to replace her with TWO different grass hogs but they just didn't cut it. Can only hope that now that this unit has the troy-bilt name, issues with part availability will be resolved...otherwise, it has the reach and POWER I've come to rely on in my old Ryobi to tackle two acres of nasty weeds. The 150 lives on!

 "disappointing - cheap for a reason" 2009-08-29
By A. Ohmstede (Coppell, Texas United States)
The wheel attachment broke on first use. The spool for line is small and doesn't hold much line so had to stop almost every other time I used it and respool more line. The spool broke within one season of normal use and parts do not appear to be available to replace the spool assembly in total, and the cost of the parts that are available are almost as much as the original cost of the unit. The only thing I really loved about the unit is how easy it is to convert from trimming to edging with the push of one button on the trigger assembly and knob adjust on the grip.

 "I have to give 1 star to write this review, if not this trimmer is useless" 2008-09-01
By Amazon Tribe (Cincinnati OH)
I brought this trimmer thinking it is a 0.08" line. It was trimming and edging well but when the original lines were finished and needed replacement, this was when the problem started. I used the 0.08 line and every time I started the trimmer, the lines just released without control. This problem did not resolve after I re-check the manual and repeat the steps several times. I called Troy-Bilt and the tech told me that the box and the manual were mis-printed (that was really unacceptable), the trimmer needs a 0.065 line due to the new mechanism requires the inertia of the 0.065 line (this is what he told me). I went back and brought the 0.065 line and the same problem happened again. I have had enough of it and returned it back to the store.



I have to say I am a handy guy and have put things together, including, furniture, ceiling fans, home theater, etc. This trimmer really get me working and I tried to problem solve but without a solution. If I can give no start to write this review, I will give no star, but that does not work and I have to give this trimmer 1 big star for being a low price trimmer+ edger. Don't waste money with this trimmer and look for other better model in a different brand.

 "JUNK" 2008-05-26
By M. Cartwright (Oceanside, California)
Broke in less than 5 minutes. ALL plastic. I have gone back to using out 15 year old cheapo Black & Decker unit. It has no edger to it's weed eater function like this one does, but nothing has broke either!



ONLY good part? The manufacturer refunded our money in full. Told me to just throw this one away. At least the company had a touch of class in customer service. STUNNED they would make such a horribly under engineered product however. I only made it about 5 feet edging when pieces flew everywhere.....BEWARE!

 "Strong, good cutting, fair edger, could use some improvement" 2008-03-17
By Gary C. Johansen (California)
I selected this one because it has 2 cutting strings (BIG plus) and because of the edging wheel over other brands/models. It cuts very well, but is a bit awkward for me to use (I'm left handed).



I took the little edging wheel off after a couple of uses as I felt it was more trouble than it was worth. The trimmer pivots at the trigger handle for edging; this means that you have to pull the shaft handle around before you can use it (rather than pivoting at the power head). There is a length adjustment, which I love as I'm 6'6" tall and most trimmers force me to walk bent over to use.



The main improvement this machine needs is a simpler, working string advance. At best it very flimsy. And should you have the misfortune to break a line off at the spool, well I hope you have 3 hands. You have to get the line out of the inside feed ring (which feeds from the top and bottom at the same time), through 2 holes on the spinning head (you see you need one hand to hold each string sticking out in place and the third hand can then easily feed the strings through the holes in the external head) before you push it back on the trimmer. It's pretty much a nightmare, but with practice and LOTS of patience evidently I got the swing of it.



I would have liked to give these unit 3.5 stars, for power, adjustability and that so far it's been rugged enough to stand up the uses I've put it through. But I've only given it 3 because of the really BAD line feed system.



Hope this helps.

 "Great battery - good motor - fairly poor design" 2009-07-06
By Laurence A. Bates (MI USA)
I love the battery on this trimmer and the motor is quite strong for a cordless. I wish that Troy-bilt would get its act together and release the other garden products that were listed on the box, especially the chain saw. As others have found the trigger switch is useless. I had to rig up something that would keep it pressed for me but allow me to switch off for the frequent hand feeds of the trimming cord. I think that it only feeds when you first turn on the unit but that doesn't work if you want to do a continuous stretch like I do. I would also have liked to see the unit have an adjustable tilt head like the Craftsman and Black and Decker do. I still value the Troy-bilt trimmer for its new age battery but the overall system is quite poorly designed.

 "oh my aching hands" 2009-05-24
By Longshank (Maine/usa)
I purchased a tb57 today, and was impressed with how quickly it can go to work out of the box. In 4 hours the battery was fully charged. Set up was quick and easy....i did not even look at the instructions. Upon testing it became quickly apparent that the unit does not telescope out far enough, requiring me to stoop over to "get er done". Then....after about 15 mins it became painfully apparent that the trigger is way too stiff. My fingers were cramping up....i had to switch hands constantly to allow my fingers to recouperate. After about 45 min i was more exausted than if i had used my heavier gas powered trimmer. The gas trimmer is long enough & makes a clean cut in 1-2 passes.... with the tb57 you must make 5-7 passess while somewhat hunched over to get the same results. Yes it is powerfull enough.....but just barely....so it takes longer to get the job done & with more effort. So.... on one hand you get a hassle free start up....little noise and no smelly fumes....on the other you get a poorly designed unit that will make you work harder than need be & curse the idiots that allowed such a product into the market with obvious flaws. Another positive point is the battery and charger....they seem high quality and work well.....the battery has a button you can push to see how much of a charge is left. After finishing the yard i stll had 3/4 of a charge left, not bad at all. If they made it a bit longer and fine tuned the trigger....this would be a great product worthy of 5 stars....but they rushed it and as a result it works, but kinda sucks....thanks guys at Troy Biilt...YOU BLEW iT !! If you have a small yard...this may work out well for you...but to those with larger areas to maintain i would say you would be better off finding a more suitable alternative.

ADD NOTE - Ok, i want to update this evaluation as i have spent more time with it and i want to clarify a few points. As far as the power goes, it IS strong enough to cut most weeds you will encounter.It just takes a little longer to do it than with a gas trimmer. And it IS great to be able to "grab and go"...i absolutely love the lithium ion battery and charger. It charges relatively quick and holds a rather large charge, giving you roughly 2 hrs use. And it will not develope a memory so you can re-charge at any point. It IS so nice to not have to mess with gas & oil. The TB57 is an instant action accessory that is ready when you are.

The spools are quick and easy to change, although....the spool is smaller than my gas trimmer so i will end up changing the spool more frequently.

I duct taped down the trigger safety eliminating that nuisance, so it is a little easier to use in that regard. The more i use it, the more i like it. I think having two trimemrs is the way to go. A gas one for the spring tough stuff....and an electric one for weekly trimming. Because it is a "hassle free" system, i find myself trimming more often & my lawn looks better for it. in fact, i think i will likely use it today. The TB57 has earned my respect and a place in my arsenal of weed whacking weapons.

 "Good light trimmer for short people" 2009-05-16
By TheDog (Atlanta, GA)
Got this at Lowe's for $170 after trying out a much larger and seemingly nicer Ryobi 4 stroke gas mower from Home Depot that didn't work (I assume is was just a faulty one but...). Assembled it in about 15 minutes and as other posters have said, it's for short people. I'm 5' 8" and I find myself crouching down in certain tough spots.



The nice thing about it is that it doesn't have that loud motor going, it's light and when I trim I tuck the battery end under an armpit and trim away.



I wouldn't recommend this for edging or heavy duty stuff. It's good, but not overly powerful.



I think as long as you know what you're getting into, you'll like it. It's nice to just plug in a battery and go.

 "Decent battery powered trimmer" 2009-05-10
By Busy Daddy/Realtor (Virginia)
I bought this trimmer because I was looking for an easier to use replacement for my old gas powered trimmer. I live on a large, corner lot in the city, so I have a lot of trimming to do. (sidewalks, driveway, patio, fence, around flower beds and more)



I wanted to switch to a battery powered trimmer, but I was afraid of running out of juice before the job was done. That is why I chose this 20 volt lithium model, as I had more faith in the extra power and lithium battery. I'm glad I chose this over competing models with 18 volt, ni-cad batteries, as this one barely has enough juice to finish my Saturday trimming needs on one charge, but that's all I need.



Pros:

1) Much lighter and easier to start than a gas powered model

2) Quieter and more environmentaly friendly than gas models

3) Battery is replaceable, unlike a previous reviewer stated

4) Self-feeding trimmer line, unlike my old model's string inserts

5) Other lawn tools available that use same battery



Cons:

1) Length, while adjustable, can cause back strain for taller (6"+) people

2) Self-feed line, at times, requires manual use of release button

3) Haven't seen pre-wound replacement spools yet (must wind my own)

4) Haven't seen other 20 volt tools in stores, yet

5) Kinda pricey, if you don't need the extra power like I do



Bottom line: This trimmer has the power I need to get the job done without the overkill of my old gas-powered trimmer.

 "Not a very good trimmer....At least for me....." 2009-07-09
By Just Me
It's not comfortable to use for anything longer than 10 minutes. The length is too short and I'm a short person. Anything after 10 minutes my back hurts from using it.



Bump & Feed doesn't work well - but many do not so I guess nothing's new here.



Perhaps with a different trimmer head, it may be better, I don't know, but I've given mine away and am onto a Stihl gas trimmer once & for all.....

 "Frustration" 2009-07-03
By John H. Murray (Toledo, OH)
This device comes with a vague instruction manual. How long is 10.5 comma? The comma appearing where you wouild normally find a foot or inch designation. If you use it with a series of short bursts like fine trimming around a circular base or series of ornamental rocks the line just keeps feeding till it gets so long it fouls upon itself with the two ends twining like caduceus snakes. If you ever need to turn your trimmer off in the coursr of your trimming. This is note a trimmer to be considered. Fairness aside: I did not have this problem with the original string. This problem was with replacement string, but still....

 "Troy Built string trimmer" 2009-06-10
By Karyn Pappert (Pittsburgh PA)
The Troy Built string trimmer is a heavy duty product, but the weight may be too much for some people especially if used over an extended period of time. The duel string spool seems unnecessary, and the Troy system of feeding line not with a bump but with a stoppage of the motor wastes much string. It's constantly feeding line every time you pause in your work. The use of oversized line (.80) seems extreme as well. That old .065 line in the garage is now a pitch. For small neighborhood lawns a smaller and lighter product would probably be a better choice.
