Tools and Hardware Reviews of American Gardener YS24 YardStick 10-Inch 24-Volt Cordless String Trimmer
Customer Review: 1st time Home Owner
Summary: 4 Stars
Being a 1st time home owner just recently, I had to buy all the necessary things for my house. I did some research on trimmers and found this trimmer to be the most bang for my buck. Depsite some up and down reviews, I also based my purchase on the specs it's self.
Well Im happy to say after 2 months of using this product, I had not a single malfunction or witnessed any major problems. Works great, lasts a long time and cuts like a charm. The only problem that I can say really is that the handle is flimsy and when holding the trimmer for long periods of time can be frustrating but otherwise overall a great product. I highly recommend this product for 1st time home owners.

Summary: 4 Stars
Have used this a few times to trim & edge an average size residential lawn. Nice, sturdy product so far. Like with any trimmer, you need to take your time reloading the string. Battery lasts long enough to complete the whole job and then some. Four stars until I see how it lasts over time.

Customer Review: 24 volt Yardstick
Summary: 4 Stars
This machine works very well. It is not as heavy as the previous models but may be too heavy for some women. The 24 volt motor is strong and does a much better job than the medium duty trimmer/edgers. The rotating handle is a nice concept but feels flimsy and loosely connected. One feels as though they should be careful when rotating the handle, as it feels as though it may break. An over all good machine.Customer Review: 24V Cordless YardStick

I have recently purchased a 24V Cordless Yardstick Trimmer/Edger. I was not expecting much, but must say I am thrilled beyond words. It lives up to all the advertising hype. Since I am now elderly I got tired of fooling with a "corded" weed eater, and even when young never had much luck starting a gas powered one. It takes about 30-45 minutes to trim all the areas in my small yard and I have never had to recharge except between using In my opinion this is better that the Black and Decker which is also sold on Amazon. The main complaint with the B&D which I read in the reviews is that it needed to be recharged too often. AGAIN. I am so pleased with my purchase and as usual buying through Amazon was a good experience. I HATE to get out and shop and have bought a super-duper toaster oven as well a vacuum cleaner through Amazon...not to mention books as gifts for others.Customer Review: A little disappointing.
Summary: 4 Stars
Given the prominently featured rave reviews, I wonder what changed at American Gardener in the last year. I've just taken it out for a spin, and was deeply disappointed in the runtime off a fully charged battery. After 15 minutes of trimming weeds along the perimeter of our jungle-surrounded lot, it was still willing but wimpy. Perhaps runtime varies with the nature of the trimmee: whispy grass along the flower bed edging might not use much battery power. Vigorous, rampant growth might eat the battery alive.String advance is, if anything, a little too easy. Bumping the ground accidentally advanced the string more than I intended. But that's a good thing, compared to the wrestling matches I've had with string and pliers on other trimmers.
I'm still glad we purchased this unit because frankly, my attention span doesn't last much longer than fifteen minutes anyway, and the mere touch of my hand is death to a 2-cycle engine. We have a gas-powered string trimmer, but I can't start it to save my soul, it's loud, it's stinky, and it's too heavy for me. So this trimmer will actually get a lot of use around our weedy lot, in spite of the lackluster runtime.
