Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker ST7700 13-Inch 4.4 amp Automatic Feed String Trimmer and Edger
Customer Review: Auto feed? Try no feed!
Summary: 1 Stars
What a worthless product. I wonder if the design engineers ever actually tested these things in a real environment. The auto feed never works. Ever try to trim with one to two inches of line? That's all that ever comes out. They say do not bump it on the ground like a regular feed trimmer but out of frustration you will. Guess what happens - The spool cracks and breaks. I have roughly one hundred feet of trimming to do. After two and a half times I gave up on the trimmer. I could cut it faster with a hand trimmer. I'm returning it tomorrow. It is one month old.Customer Review: Automatic feed was Always feed
Summary: 1 Stars
We got this thing right after it came out. It wasn't and automatic feed so much as it was an always feed. It basically just always fed out line, using it up quickly. It ended up being cheaper to buy a new weed eater (not this brand or with that feature) than it was to keep buying line. About the only positive was the service from the company. They'd send replacement parts to us when we asked at least for the first year.
There was a small plastic piece which controls the feed of the line. It was constantly wearing down and melting. This just didn't work. The replacements had a piece of metal on it to try and help, but it didn't really do much.
Customer Review: Awesome Little Weed Hog
Summary: 5 Stars
I was hesitant about buying this item when I read some of the reviews but I decided for such a low price I'd give it a shot. I was amazed at how fast it arrived and even more pleased when I used it for the first time. It's a little powerhouse. I especially like the cord saver in the handle--it keeps the cord from unplugging. But, the amazing thing was it really works good. I had weed almost knee high and it took care of them without any problems and I didn't have any trouble with the automatic feed.Customer Review: B and D weed eater
Summary: 3 Stars
Had some trouble with this product, but with a long history of B&D where all was good, I remain faithful to the brand. What I was REALLY IMPRESSED with was Amazon's handling of the problem. The replacement was sent immediately upon my contacting them, and everyone was extremely nice and helpful. I don't know about other folks, but how a company handles a problem is very IMPORTANT to me. AMAZON, gets an A+ for this transactionCustomer Review: Cheap
Summary: 2 Stars
The one I had not only didn't last very long, but while it did work, the power and the .062" string was very underwhelming. If you don't want to use a gas-powered weed whacker, look for the Ryobi electric trimmer with the .080" line.
