Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker Grass Hog XP 14-Inch 7.2 Amp Electric String Trimmer/Edger #GH1000

Customer Review: Still no good after recall
Summary: 1 Stars

Avoid this trimmer. I just purchased this unit new. After my first use, I was very disappointed. I went online to check out what I could do to fix the line feeder. I found these Amazon reviews, and am thinking... "This thing is going back to the store."
The two main problems I have experienced with this so called "fixed" trimmer are:
1. The line feeds too much. While doing typical grass and weed trimming, the line feeds out so much that I have hundreds of little 1" pieces of green line all over my lawn. I used up the stock line spool that came with the trimmer in about 5 minutes.
2. Several times the line fed out so fast that the cutter could not keep up with it. A tangled mass of line was whipping my legs. I had to cut the line and start over.

These problems are not user error. This happened with this unit out of the box, with proper line, and proper technique. BTW I have the unit with the orange cover, not the recalled one with the black cover.

Description of Black & Decker Grass Hog XP 14-Inch 7.2 Amp Electric String Trimmer/Edger #GH1000

The Black and Decker Grass Hog XP electric string trimmer and edger is a powerful and easy-to-use tool that gives you fast trimming performance in the toughest weeds, grass and overgrowth. The strong 7.2 Amp motor with high-torque transmission design delivers constant power. This trimmer offers a generous 14-inch cutting swath, and the .080-diameter heavy-duty dual-line system provides improved cutting ability with longer tool life. The Automatic Feed Spool (AFS) cuts faster, has less line wear, and uses centrifugal force so no bumping is required. This trimmer/edger has a lightweight design, weighing only 6.9 pounds, so it is easy to maneuver; the motor and transmission are mounted between the gripping areas, distributing the weight of the tool for better control and less fatigue. The featured Groom'N'Edge quickly converts the equipment from a trimmer to an edger and back again with just a push of the button; the head rotates 180 degrees and the flip-down edge guide makes edging along sidewalks, driveways, and flower-beds fast and simple. The handle can be height adjusted for any user and the soft grips provide maximum control and comfort. This product is backed by a 2-year full warranty.
