 "Good. trimmer" 2009-08-02
By Keith P. Knoblock (Waukee, IA USA)
The trimmer works well but uses a lot of cord. The cutting cord is thinner one and the trimmer goes through it fast. I buy the cutting cord now at WalMart where it is cheaper at below three bucks. The trimmer will work well on a small yard but it has to work hard on woodland growth.

 "Earthwise 15 Inch String Trimmer" 2009-07-10
By Robert E. Roseliep
Outstanding twin cord trimmer with lots of power, makes mulch of tall grass and weeds. It was purchased to replace a 18V battery operated trimmer that would not last very long on a charge, even with two batteries and a hi-power charger most of the time it petered out before finishing around our house which sits on a small 60 x 80 lot. The disadvantage of using an extention cord is quickly offset by the power and ease of use of this trimmer. I highlt recommend it, good quality at a low price.

This weed-eater has power and is light to carry around. The product is durable and easy to use. I like how easily the string is replaced and or change your cutting angle.

 "Gets It Done" 2009-08-09
By Rangered (Chicago, IL USA)
This trimmer works as advertised for a very reasonable price. The automatic feeder doesn't "overeat" the trimmer line and the cut is just fine. Would give it 5 stars if they could have made it a little quieter.....not a complaint, just an observation. Will definitely consider buying another when this one wears out.

By honestcritique (New York, USA)
This just happens to be one of those items that has to be "experienced" to be fully appreciated! It does the job - and, boy(!), does it do it well! It's lightweight, powerful, and extremely effective.

 "Wanted a cordless - !!" 2009-07-07
By Yvonne Graf (Hastings, MN USA)
I wanted a cordless trimmer, and I did do a search on Amazon "cordless trimmer" and this one came up. It had good reviews and no one mentioned that it was not cordless. I did read through the description and it was not noticeably noted that it was a corded trimmer. I was a bit upset when I got it and found it was not cordless. I used it anyway and it seems like a decent trimmer, but the line ran out within a few minutes of using it so if you do buy it, buy an extra roll of string. I have since bought a cordless one of the same make at Wal-Mart. Since I only used it the one time I can't give the trimmer a great rating, but the cordless one of the same model "Weed Eater" seems like a good weed eater, but jams a little too much. It's lightweight and does a good job otherwise. It did say when I got it to let it charge for 20 hours, but it came with enough charge to do some of my trimming. It comes with a nice charger that you can put on your wall and store small tools in if you'd like. If you can put up with the cord, then get the corded one since it's a good trimmer half the price of the cordless one, but if you hate cords like me, get the corded one. Worth it!! This did arrive quickly from manufacturer.

 "Weed Eater String Trimmer" 2009-07-04
By Timothy J. Strong (Safety Harbor, FL USA)
I have had other weed trimmers, but this one is by far the best. It is very powerful, but easy to use. I have a medium sized yard, and I've used it 4 times so far. The only thing that I noticed that I didn't like, was that I plugged it in, and accidentally had my finger on the trigger. It should have a safety switch that must be depressed at the same time as the main trigger. Other than that, it is a good machine.

 "hate the reloading" 2009-07-04
By S. Nelson (Honolulu, Hi)
This is the 3rd Weedeater brand string trimmer I've owned. In the past I've always been able to load my own line onto a spare spool and change as needed while working. Not so this model, unless you want to buy a completely new spool for every line reload. The design of the model leaves no doubt in my mind that the manufacturer deliberately made it more difficult than it needs to be for the do-it-yourselfers and without doubt seems to be designed to encourage the user to buy pre-loaded spools rather than loading your own. Seems like an MBA somewhere decided they could do the same with replacement line as the computer printer manufacturers have done with the ink cartridges.

I sure wish I would've researched more thoroughly. And I'm equally disappointed with Weedeater, a brand that I've trusted for many years. Not so going into the future. In fact, I'll probably hand cut before I'll buy another of their products.

I would add that the owners manual clearly shows the old style spool when demonstrating how to load line. I defy someone from Weedeater to load line into the spool in a reasonable period of time. If they can, I will retract this review with complete humbleness.

 "Just what I needed." 2009-08-16
By D. Jordan
I have a very steeply banked ditch in the front of my property. I couldn't get a mower or a weedeater to get in to cut the weeds down. I was thinking if someone would put a hedge trimmer on a shaft it would work perfectly. Along comes Black & Decker with their NPT318, the very tool I needed. It works great. For being battery powered it really mows down the weeds. The head angles to match the slope of the ditch. The only feature I would have included is a strap. It is heavier than a regular weed eater.

 "B&D electric hedge pole trimmer" 2009-07-29
By Andrew Wittenborn (Pleasantville, NY)
I bought this trimmer as I could not reach the top of my hedges with a normal trimmer. It works very well, although it is heavy to hold. I'm 74 years

old and may be this would not bother a younger person. Having it battery powered helps a lot.

 "Badly Designed" 2009-07-22
By Bobby J (Cleveland, OH)
This is ONLY for those shrubs that are up high and you would normally need a latter for, not normal height shrubs. I agree with the other reviewer that they need to make it so you can take the pole off or that tge main handle can telescope. Trying to use this on a normal shrub at knee level is ridiculious. It is too heavy and bulky to swing around for normal hedges. I took this back and got the 22' 18V and I love it.

 "Cordless electric pole hedge trimmer" 2009-07-16
By J.J.M. (Novi, MI)
Does the job with those bushes where long reach is necessary. I had no problem trimming various types of bushes as long as the battery is fully charged. As the battery runs down the cutting power is diminished. If your bushes require more than 40-50 minutes to trim you might want to invest in another battery or you'll have to spread the job over several days.

 "Convenient But Not Heavy Duty" 2009-07-14
By Gregg H. Glickstein (Florida)
My B&D NPT318 18-Volt Cordless Hedge Trimmer recently expired after an encounter with a branch about 3/4 inches thick or less. It was a little more 2 1/2 years old. It's lighter than a gas pole hedge trimmer but not nearly as powerful and not as much reach. The battery and cordless convenience make it a useful addition to the lawn manitenance arsenal if you can have both. This is a light duty unit, however, and if choosing between this and a quality gas pole hedger (or hedge attachment), go with the gas unit if you have significant hedges/trees to trim/shape.

 "Plenty of room for improvement" 2009-08-12
By J. Wise (Folsom, CA)
This trimmer does a good job at cutting through brush and sculpting bushes but it has a serious flaw. The safety that must be engaged first is extremely sensitive. With gloves on, the safety takes excessive force from the thumb and hand to allow the trigger to operate. After that, the safety and trigger combination routinely disengage for me without using a very strong grip. This will tire your hand and forearm quickly. Gloves make gripping the safety and trigger even more difficult.



The battery life for this model is good. This unit uses the same battery as the string trimmer. I can get about one use out of the string trimmer but the same batter in the hedger keeps going and going.



The Good: Trimmer is sharp and cuts right through

The Bad: Trigger/safety combination is too difficult to operate

an absolutly fabulous product. lot of thought went into its design. far better then their corded design.

 "Great trimmer" 2009-08-09
By Andrew S. Jakubowski (Valley Stream, New York United States)
Bought the B&D NHT518 18 volt hedge trimmer because I was tired of "dancing" with the corded trimmer in order not to cut the cord, again, and again, and again.



This 18volt model is more powerful and lasts longer on one recharge than my neighbor's trimmer from another manufacture that cost more than what I paid.



It's light, well balanced and powerful. Now I look forward for the hedges to grow faster..that's how pleased I am. And my neighbor chucked his and bought this model.



And the nice part is that the battery can be used in other B&D models that use this battery type, INCLUDING their Drills, and Saws.



Excellent product!!!

 "as advertised" 2009-08-02
By G. M. Christopher (Boulder CO)
It's as good as advertised: light, powerful dependable. I'm totally happy with it.

 "Awesome" 2009-07-22
By Bobby J (Cleveland, OH)
This is the best trimmer out there. Very light and it cuts great. I was able to finish my whole yard in an hour and the battery started to cut out at the end but an hour is good and thats all I needed to do my whole yard. Only downside I could possible see is battery life but you will run into that problem with any cordless trimmer anyways. Just buy a second battery and your set, still worth it!

 "Great little tool for the money" 2009-07-07
By Kelly (Springdale, AR)
I picked up one of these the other day and was pleasantly surprised. I was a little concerned the 2.8 amp motor would not be enough, but I couldn't pass up the great price. Turns out the 2.8 amp motor works great for what I need it for, which is just trimming the small bushes around the house. As long as your not trying to trim things bigger than 3/8" (like the manual states) it cuts through like butter. Great tool!

 "GLAD MY OLD ONE BROKE" 2009-07-25
By Raymond T. Driscoll (Boonton, NJ)
Great trimmer at a good price. My old one broke B&D 20+ years old. I was NOT looking to buy a trimmer but my wife thinks the old one was a chainsaw. I'm glad she broke it, the new one cuts with dual action at twice the speed. I was a little worried when I got home and saw the bright orange box at the door. It was taped with clear tape and the box was broken right were the blade started. If ordering one of these units have it marked as a gift so as to conseal its contents and maybe better packaging. Mine was not broken and works like a charm. No vibration like the old one, tingling fingers. Wear gloves, glasses and earplugs for safty and an orange cord if you have one, it's easier to see in the greenery. Put your name on it right away, the guy next door will be over in the morning to borrow it. A 4 hour job in a little more than an hour. For a home owner you just have to love this machine.

 "Near-perfect, light duty, chorded bush trimmer" 2009-07-03
By A. Dent (Minas Anor, GD)
For a light-duty, chorded bush trimmer, this is as close to perfection as they come. It does the job well and it gives no headaches.



- Packaging: Ordered from Amazon, my first emotion was one of concern. The trimmer came in its retail box, scotch-taped and looking a little battered. I's an odd-shaped box that follows the trimmer's shape and was afraid that the blade might be broken but, lucky me, all was fine. Packaging could be better.



- Assembly: Not much assembly required. The only thing that needs attaching is the handle. A one minute job.



- Manuals: There's not much you need to know about operation and it's all in the manual which comes with some illustrations of proper bush-trimming techniques. And, if you don't understand English, there's a French version included too.



- Operation: Once a chord (NOT INCLUDED) is attached, you are ready to cut. The trimmer is light enough for me to operate it with one hand for minutes at a time without getting tired - when I do the tops of some of our taller bushes.



- Safety: You need to pull a trigger and to squeeze a lever for the trimmer to operate but I can do both with one hand so I would NOT call this 'child proof'. Must be careful not to cut the power chord and, of course, you must take the customary common-sense precautions when operating a live cutting device.



- Performance: It cut through our bushes like a butter knife cuts through butter. I imagine it would have some difficulties cutting through thicker growth but in our case, where everything we need to cut is rarely over 1/4 inch thick, we had no problems, whatsoever.



To conclude: if you have a long enough power chord and you are not engaged in any heavy-duty trimming activities, this can be your tool. I know it's mine. The only issue, as I mentioned, was the packaging but this is not what I am reviewing here. The trimmer itself deserves the 5 stars and the 5 stars it gets.



P.S. - My wife just managed to cut the chord while trimming. She says that she understands how this works now and it won't happen again.

 "Trimmer works as expected" 2009-06-17
By L. McCracken
The hedge trimmer arrived in good condition. The performance is good but it is noisy. Very little vibration. The design of the blade tip can be a problem if the tip is touched to a hard surface, like a fence or concrete mowing strip.

 "Great trimmer but watch out for your power cord!" 2009-05-18
By neurosurgerytech (MA United States)
Love this trimmer -- compact yet powerful. It got the job done on my overgrown hedges . . . actually, it got half the job done. It took me about 20 minutes before I managed to slice through my power cord in one ill fated swoop! I consider myself a careful, conscientious person with power tools, and yet I still managed to cut my line. Be careful out there and happy trimming!

 "Good Cutter for small stuff" 2008-12-22
By Hot Shopper
The trimmer worked very well on the small stuff but on limbs 3/8 of an inch it locked up. If I knew this I would have bought a stronger trimmer.
