Tools and Hardware Reviews of American Gardener YS24 YardStick 10-Inch 24-Volt Cordless String Trimmer
Customer Review: Everyone with a lawn should have this product; period!
Summary: 5 Stars
law degree; "some math" background, but how can I (1) verbalize the pleasure I have from purchasing this item and (2) how can I, how can "one" quantify the worth and utility of this truly wonderful product? I admittedly never heard of this company until less than a week ago! That is my loss, you can be sure! I always purchased Toro products and once stupidly bought a "Ryobi" weed-whacker: threw it out after I believe 3 uses! anyhow, Toro is "good", but my cordless Toro weed-whackers were unreliable and I frankly got "fed-up" replacing the 12 volt trimmer! Lo and behold I searched under amazon and discovered this incredible product. Hoping not to sound "dogmatic", simply put, if you want an incredible product, if you want what is likely the all-time best value in a weed-whacker (and I suspect their other products are the same way!), get this product! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the opportunity to have access to a product of this quality and utility. It is just wonderful; wonderful. We have "tortured" ourselves with 12 volt cordless Toro trimmers; tortured ourselves dragging cords along the lot, be they attached to that Ryobi or even our Toro corded trimmer: I have "died and gone to heaven" with this product. (I gave my Toro "Super" recycler Monster mower to my brother-in-law last week and bought a Honda "Hydro" (whatever they call it)...: another great product, but truthfully the trimmer I comment on here brings an even greater smile to our faces than even that (incredible!) new Honda mower!).
Buy this product; dont beat the decision to death! You will love it, love it. (And we will be buying more of their products--wish they had a lawn mower w/at least 6.5 HP because I'd buy that also!)
Have a fine day folks.

Customer Review: Excellent Trimmer
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought a house 2 years ago, and moving from my parents' house, I needed all the equipment yard care would require. I knew I didn't want a gas trimmer because of all of the issues that come with them (hard to start, need gas and oils, etc.), then came the idea of an electric powered trimmer. The house I bought has no outdoor outlets, and the lawn is long and narrow, another not going to work.
I started looking into the rechargeable trimmers, and was close to buying a works gt or black and decker when I found this one on sale at a local Menards. I bought it, and haven't regretted it at all. The charge lasts way longer than I need. I have had and used for 2 summers now, and still haven't needed to replace the string. Start up is instant, no pulling a string for two hours, and priming, and oils and gas. Size is just right for me. And best of all, it eats through almost anything. I rarely come across a plant the yardstick can't take.
I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting a yard trimmer.

I am using this for the last 8 months and it's amazing and I love it.Customer Review: Excellent Trimmer For the Cost and Convenience
Summary: 5 Stars
I had a small gas trimmer which I used up until losing it in a flood. Before then, it was hard to start, unwieldy and belched smoke. Needing a replacement, I opted for the cordless trimmer, expecting to compromise the convenience of no gas/electric cord for power and length of running time.
It turns out there was no compromise. I have about 3/4 acre of yard to care for and this trimmer lasts for all my trimming needs for the whole area on one charge.
It is extremely convenient to change between trimmer and edger, thus negtating my replacing the edger which was also lost in the flood. It does a good job of both for medium to light work trimming. It is lightweight, has a nice balance to it and is very safe to operate, with the double safety of on switch and power trigger, with a safety release that is set when you release the power trigger.
The 24 volt battery is a plus for keeping it running longer on one charge. Plug it into the wall mounted battery charger and forget it until you need it, then it will work for you for about an hour's worth of medium to light level trimming and edging. The AC adapter has a light that changes to red when it is charging, and changes to green when it is fully charged, which is helpful.
This trimmer got better reviews than Black and Decker models, so I tried it and am very happy with the performance and ease of use. It cost less than other brands of cordless trimmers with less battery power and less handy features.
Overall, I would highly recommend this trimmer and and very happy with my purchase.
Customer Review: Excellent buy!
