Black & Decker 9-Inch 1.8-AMP Electric Grass Trimmer #ST1000
Put the finishing touches on your landscaping with an electric string trimmer. Convenient and lightweight design is great to keep up with general maintenance.
If you're in the market for a basic, entry-level electric trimmer to handle light trimming work around your house, the Black and Decker 9-inch grass trimmer might be worth considering. While certainly not as powerful or feature-laden as more costly models, this trimmer can handle much of the light-duty work many homeowners need. The trimmer weighs just 3.2 pounds and requires little assembly with just 2 steps. It operates off a reliable, 1.8-amp HP motor, which spins the line at 11,000 rpm. This grass trimmer features a basic bump feed line system, a generous nine-inch cutting path, and a secondary assist handle for added comfort and control. It comes with 20 feet of .065-diameter line, and spool replacement is fairly simple. One thing I found especially handy with this particular trimmer was its unique cord lock system, which holds the extension cord firmly in place while the trimmer is in use. As someone who has accidentally unplugged a trimmer halfway through a job on more than one occasion, this indeed a handy feature to have. This product is backed by a 2-year full warranty. --Carl Thress

Black & Decker 9-Inch 1.8-AMP Electric Grass Trimmer #ST1000 Reviews
The best part is the local Home Depot had spare line reels for it. The line feed is very easy to use. It was well worth it. This little trimmer does everything it should. I also wanted something that was very light so my wife could use it. I had no issues with shipping, the unit worked and still does.
It was impossible to find parts. I have 3/4 of an acre of lawn and don't mind using cords to get where I need to. With a $25 gift certificate I got this for less than $10. I am trying my best to get rid of needless gas motors because two ATVs, a lawn tractor and a mower is more than enough to maintain. I'm very happy with this purchase. Try that with my old Home Lite gas trimmer.
I easily trim around my raised garden beds and this unit is very good for precise trimming around flower beds, etc.
Light weight so was easy to manage and did a good job for what I needed. Only having a small area that needed to be trimmed I opted for this model and was very pleased with it.
Being so small, it can get into tight places, really neat'n them up. For the price, I don't know how a person could do better than this model trimmer. There seemed to be no lack of power to cut through some very tough weeds and stems. In fact, I only had to rewind the spool one time and after that it fed nicely until it was only about 14 inches left. And this less-expensive B&D model is by far the least troublesome. Very pleasantly surprised by the reliability of this model.
I have used a different brand, similar construction and price, an electric and a gas-powered trimmer. It's so light, you can control it with one arm, and also, you can easily turn it sideways to trim vertically, whacking off weeds growing through a chain-link fence from your neighbor's yard. And because of its light weight, it's actually fun to use. I'm not very dextrous at 'bumping', to eject more string, so I simply swing the head up, depressed the spring and pull out a little when it's needed.
Very happy with the purchase the product is light weight and easy for my wife to handle.
I bought this on sale at my local hardware store and love it. Cuts great, easy line replace, quiet and takes up little room in the garage. Great and lightweight. Great price. I have owned serveral other brands (all of which have been trashed or given away) This one is a keeper. My ex keeps borrowing it so I am buying another to give as a present.
