Works well, when it works. June 7, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I suppose you get what you pay for! The spooling system (on mine at least) is utter rubbish. I have to stop every minute to fiddle about and get more line out. It seems to be some kind of design flaw, as the line itself eats into the spool's plastic 'shroud' and refuses to feed out. I've genuinely spend more time trying to get the line to work properly, than I have actually strimming.
When it does work it's powerful and easy to use. I'm going to give it one more chance with a new spool, and if it carries on being rubbish it's going in the tip!

after my last B&D strimmer packed in i searched high and low and ordered this one as the last one wasnt powerful enough, this certainly has the power and seems to cut very well the construction is very good, i managed to cut my 100 ft garden down to size after the weeds had taken over. its not very loud, and works well, only gripe i have is the weight its a little on the heavy side i s'pose thats why they supply the shoulder strap which helps.as for the auto line feed in my experiance i have never seen any line feeds work all the time on most makes and always require a little tinkering to ease line out some time.i managed to finish one of the supplied spools but it was a lot of cutting in one day about 3-4 hrs (intermittant otherwise the motor would burn out)will need to order new spools from jcb so dont know how much they are yet.all in all i am happy so far!.
