I have other products from B&D that work great. That is why I chose this trimmer. But alas, like other reviewers, I came to find out that after about 10 hours use, yes 10 hours MAX, the drive gear/pulley melted and is now unusable. Replace the part??? $60 and change before shipping cost.... or just about the same as a new unit. Really a shame too, for it worked fine up until it had a "melt down". What would it cost to use metal instead of plastic? If it would have added $20 to the purchase price I would have no problem with paying it. As it is now, I feel that this product was designed to fail. I am not an engineer, but even I could see that this product was doomed to fail after I took it apart. Sorry B&D you have lost a customer here.
No, I do not recommend this product.
