Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker GH1000 Grass Hog XP 14-Inch 7.2 Amp Electric String Trimmer/Edger
Customer Review: Absolutely the Worst
Summary: 1 Stars
I have the post-recall model, and yet this remains a front runner as the most poorly designed line trimmer being sold. The power of the motor is great, but that power is too much for the rest of the components.
To wit: the spool housing is dense plastic connected to a metal "driveshaft". After only a few uses the plastic became deformed and stripped out. The driveshaft spins, but the spool does not rotate. The replacement part is about $15.00 delivered. What's the point.
Just another problem to add the the growing list of issues with this item.
Also, this unit has major line feed problems. I was constantly taking the spool out to re-feed the line. And when it did work, it used way more line than necessary.
