String Trimmer, Electric, 14-inch (BESTE620)

I’m really impressed with the BLACK+DECKER BESTE620 string trimmer! For an electric model, it packs a surprising amount of power. It easily handles overgrown grass and weeds around my yard, and the 14-inch cutting swath makes quick work of trimming even larger areas. One of the things I love most is how lightweight and easy to maneuver it is. I can trim my entire yard without feeling sore afterward. The adjustable height and handle make it comfortable to use, and the automatic feed spool means I don’t have to keep stopping to adjust the line — a huge time saver! Another bonus is the 2-in-1 feature: it converts from a trimmer to an edger with a simple twist. Super convenient for keeping sidewalks and garden edges looking neat. If you’re looking for an affordable, efficient, and easy-to-use electric trimmer for regular yard maintenance, this is a solid choice. Highly recommend!

Easy, fast assembly. Strong motor, the string holds up well and the push button string feeder works great. I really like that is is corded electric. This is my 3rd trimmer and so far the best. A good value compared to expensive battery electric trimmers.

This surprisingly rugged trimmer has something I don't see on any other models or brands and is absolutely necessary for me: a wheel that allows smooth, straight line trimming. The older model had some design issues like the middle handle being too loose, but those have been corrected. Also, the string payout button is excellent. None of that bumping or sticking of other brands. Forget battery power, they only last a few years and then you have to buy a new battery for the cost of the entire trimmer! Instead, get yourself a 100' yard cord and you have unlimited run time and a product that will last for decades. My last one of these lasted 26 years.

While I like the trimmer/edger combo as well as its light weight, ease of use and low price, be ready to buy a replacement soon. I bought this product several years ago after a prior model failed, thinking the first failure was a fluke. After the 2nd one also failed, I took it apart to discover what I believe is a fundamental design flaw (see below for what I believe is the reason). It is good, but be prepared to soon buy a replacement. What I found - after ongoing use, the plastic housing around the gears that turns the spool/string simply melted from the heat generated by the rotation. Once the plastic melts, the gears then wiggle and come loose, then no longer turn the spool so the whole trimmer is use-less. A simple heat-dissipating metal housing would solve the problem.

Needing a string trimmer, I started looking at cordless. After reading lots of so-so reviews about battery hassles, I realized I have plenty of extension cords and a small area to keep weed free. I love corded tools. No batteries to worry about. This Black & Decker gets great reviews for its effective ease of use, and sturdiness. I agree. In a few minutes you are ready to go. But - wait! Is your extension cord going to fit the tight plug-in on this trimmer?? Mine barely fits, and I bet yours will be tight too. I happened to have a repaired plug on one extension that did Not fit. A bit of a design flaw. Note that this trimmer only needs a 2-pronged extension. Secondly, I also found that if you impact something hard, say a brick or something wooden, you can cause the cutting line to go all the way into the line “container” I quickly had to learn how to repair the line feed. Twice. That can be learned reading the instructions. So, it does take some practice learning how to use this (and every) line trimmer. Having gotten the hang of it, it is a great time saver and efficient grass and weeds trimmer. I am pleased I bought it. The live feed enhancement seems to work well, and that took took some practice. It just takes one press to feed just enough. I gave this trimmer a four, because of the small things I had to learn how to use, and the plug situation. If you buy an extension cord for this trimmer, make sure it has a small female 2-pronged head, and try it immediately before things get dirty. This B&D does a great, fast job once you have the technique down.

This a great trimmer! I tried it out for the first time the other day and it was tremendously great. The line feeder is genius! Assembly was so easy and it's not heavy at all. I was so impressed with this product! I hope it lasts!

This electric string trimmer does a good job of weed eating and edging the grass. The auto feed works great if you purchase string already wound, but the auto feed doesn't work well if you wind the string yourself. It's easy to use and has decent speed. Not heavy to use and a good size. Good value for the money.

Line spool runs out quicker than previous models. I would not buy product again

Me gusta que es ligero, facil de usar y el hilo de 14" permite hacer cortes amplios. En contra encontré que tiende a gastar mas hilo, pero eso es lógico por el tamaño. Un carrete con 2 puntas haria que dure mas

All good

Really disappointed it didn’t come with a power cord really poor
