Weed Eater trimmers are synonymous with product innovation, exceptional performance and unbeatable value. They're the trimmer America asks for by name. The 3.7 Amp Electric Trimmer (RT112C) features a 12-inch cutting width and Quick Snap Head Type.
Customer Review: Would not hesitate to buy from this company again
I recently bought a weed eater and was very pleased with the service. The product was received within days, boxed very well with instruction book and works unbelievably great. My husband purchased a gas one and assured me I would love it. I hated it. The weed eater I purchased is electric and lightweight. Now he keeps trying to use the one I bought.
Customer Review: Great Product
For the price this is a great buy. It gets the job done and then more. Do yourself a favor and purchase this item.

Troy-Bilt 17-Inch 31cc 2-Cycle Clutched Gas Powered Straight Shaft String Trimmer #TB90BC

The Troy-Bilt 31 cc clutched straight-shaft gas trimmer features convenient EZ-Start choke technology, which allows the user to simply flip the choke, prime the engine, and then give a slow, smooth, easy pull for a guaranteed start. The EZ-Start technology allows the trimmer's engine to engage with 55-percent less effort than most gas models. With its rugged 31 cc engine, the trimmer provides plenty of brawn to power through the most ragged, overgrown growth. The trimmer's professional-style straight-shaft, split-boom design gives easy access underneath low-growing shrubs. The trimmer cuts in a 17-inch radius and features heavy-duty, 0.105-inch dual lines with convenient bump-head line release.

When it's time to replace the line, the featured SpeedSpool line replacement system is exceptionally easy to load and rewind, all without removing the spool or taking it apart. The entire trimmer feels exceptionally balanced and comfortable in the hand, and the ergonomic soft-grip D-shaped handle easily adjusts for both right and left-handed users. The trimmer's engine and upper handle is compatible with other Troy-Bilt EZ-Link attachments (sold separately), a feature that allows you to turn your trimmer into an edger, cultivator, hedge trimmer, blower, or pole saw. The trimmer comes with all the necessary oil for immediate operation, and is covered by a 2-year limited warranty.
Customer Review: Cuts Well/Dies Quickly
It's been one year and I'm on my second unit (first one was replace by Lowes) and now my current one is in the shop getting the carb rebuilt. It had about 4 tanks of gas run through it before its untimely demise and was stored EMPTY over the winter. My local service center AND Troy-Bilt say that additives in the gasoline (alcohols etc) caused the issue. This seems suspicious, but even if this is the case I would expect to get a bit more life out of the trimmer before a carb rebuild is necessary. Both parties are telling me I may need a carb rebuild every year! I'm considering cutting my losses at this point and buying a Stihl instead.
Customer Review: Looks good, but not worth it, not even slightly
I bought this product from Lowe's. I used it for about 15 minutes with the string head and was very impressed, right up until the moment that it died and would not restart. I took it back to the store, where they gave me a refund, no questions asked. I was hoping that the extra $$ compared to my previous Homelite would get me a quality product. It didn't. Based on my experience, and on the other reviews, I don't think that I will be buying Troy-Bilt again.

Customer Review: do not bother, you'll only get mad
i got the electric Power Glide, so i don't even have the troubles of a dead battery.. the thing is a piece of junk... first time review ever.. but i had to tell, this is just not a good piece of equipment..
Customer Review: Not bad for small jobs.
Bought this one for only $20 on sale at Ace Hardware with the intention it would be for quick jobs - and that is what it is good for. If you have a little bit to whack here and there, this will do the job. I get about 10 minutes of time out of a charge on the battery. This is a very light-duty weed wacker for small jobs. It works pretty well. Though I don't think I'd pay much more than $35 for it. Just my 2 cents.

Sunlawn 9-Inch 12 Volt Cordless Electric String Trimmer #BTE-1

The concept behind the BTE-1 Trimmer is innovative but deceptively simple: carry the battery on the body instead of the trimmer. With the convenient shoulder strap and belt hook the operators body bears the weight of the battery so it is barely noticeable. The BTE-1 trimmer itself weighs only 3.1 pounds so one can do all the trimming without suffering a sore wrist or shoulder. The BTE-1 is a dream to use!
Customer Review: DO NOT BUY SUNLAWN PRODUCTS
SUNLAWN HAS GONE OUT OF BUSINESS & IS NOT HONORING THEIR WARRANTIES. IVE HAD THE SAME PART BREAK TWICE IN ONE YEAR. AVOID SUNLAWN PRODUCTS
Customer Review: Don't bother
The separate, shoulder-mounted battery is great, making the hand-held part as light as most plug-in electric trimmers. It seems to have a bit more torque than the cheapo plug-in trimmer I had before, though not enough to consider it professional-grade, by any means. Battery life is enough to edge a very small southern-california postage-stamp-sized yard (maybe a few hundred linear feet of edging). The problem I've encountered is that, while the cutting cord will spin freely when the trimmer is not actively trimming, when I start to trim, the cord is deflected into the top of the safety cover, chopping the cord to a length of about 2 inches -- rendering it too short to cut effectively or to "self-feed" to the proper length by the usual method of tapping the spinning head on the ground. I ended up having to stop every few feet to manually pull out more string. I have found that this problem can be overcome by removing the safety cover entirely, but of course this is highly inadvisable, and I am certainly not suggesting that you do so. If not for the finicky relationship between the cutting cord and the safety cover, I would have rated this trimmer with 5 stars instead of 2. 2-MONTH UPDATE (June, 2009): After a handful of charge/discharce cycles, battery life has decreased to less than a minute. After a full 12 hours of charging, the trimmer will spin fast enough to cut for a few seconds, and then slows to a low RPM that can't cut. This, despite the manual saying the lead-acid battery does not develop a memory. Revise rating to zero stars.

Customer Review: Frustration
This device comes with a vague instruction manual. How long is 10.5 comma? The comma appearing where you wouild normally find a foot or inch designation. If you use it with a series of short bursts like fine trimming around a circular base or series of ornamental rocks the line just keeps feeding till it gets so long it fouls upon itself with the two ends twining like caduceus snakes. If you ever need to turn your trimmer off in the coursr of your trimming. This is note a trimmer to be considered. Fairness aside: I did not have this problem with the original string. This problem was with replacement string, but still....
Customer Review: Troy Built string trimmer
The Troy Built string trimmer is a heavy duty product, but the weight may be too much for some people especially if used over an extended period of time. The duel string spool seems unnecessary, and the Troy system of feeding line not with a bump but with a stoppage of the motor wastes much string. It's constantly feeding line every time you pause in your work. The use of oversized line (.80) seems extreme as well. That old .065 line in the garage is now a pitch. For small neighborhood lawns a smaller and lighter product would probably be a better choice.

Factory Reconditioned Homelite 17-Inch 26cc Gas Powered Mighty Lite Curved Shaft String Trimmer (Non-CARB Compliant) #ZR21506

Homelite Mighty Lite 17" Curved Shaft String Trimmer with powerful 26cc (.8 HP) engine. New Rotochoke starting system. Lightest curved shaft gas trimmer weighs just 7.9 lbs.
Customer Review: Must Buy, Read Directions!
Much has been written about this unit not starting but I bought it anyway. READ the directons! I have had another Homelite for 10 years and the starting sequence is different. I received the item very quickly and have used it three times already. GREAT buy and supper line trimmer!
Customer Review: Does not start after one season
I got this trimmer which initially ran fine "out of the box" problem is that it started malfunctioning after only one season. Now it does not start at all. After some troubleshooting I found out why this occurs. The trimmer has a mesh filter, this allows the dust into the trimmer. It severly scratches the piston walls and piston causing the compression to drop below 25Lbs. I achieved 60Lbs by squirting thick oil into the engine. The trimmer started right up and ran until the oil ran out and my compression dropped again. Trimmers must have 50Lbs or more compression to run. If this only had a filter it would last like the ones of old.

Additionally, corded power means your work is never brought to a standstill by a dead battery or an empty gas tank. This tool is backed by a limited 2-year warranty.
Customer Review: Strong motor, but uses way too much string
I've had several Grasshog string trimmers over the last 5 years. I'm currently on my 4th one, the first time with this new model. I can't use gas models as the fumes make me ill, so I am stuck with the Black and Decker Grasshog series as it seems to be the only electric model sold in my area. I was impressed with the strong motor on the GH1000 series. I also like the motor being near the handle rather than at the bottom as I am able to maneuver the trimmer better. However, I am giving this model one star for the simple reason that it is a horrible hog when it comes to the trimmer line. My yard has 3/4" pieces of trimmer line all over it. I have never had a trimmer use so much line. I had to rewind the spool 3 times while using it about 2 hours yesterday and 1 hour today. I used to get a whole weekend of trimming one a single spool, but not with this one. I'm hoping the local stores start carrying another brand so I don't have to get another Black and Decker when this trimmer dies.
Customer Review: Prone to failure
This tool worked well until the second time I used it. The internal shaft separated; making it useless. Because it has been used Amazon refused a return or refund.

This is the 2nd Remington weed trimmer I've ordered from Amazon...also the 2nd one I've received broken...don't waste your time or money...I'm still waiting for the 2nd refund. This futile quest has been going on since the end of April..Finally gave up and went to store a bought a hunk of plastic junk...but it works....so far.
Customer Review: Remington Cordless Electric string trimmer
Trimmer does the trimming very well. But try as I might I have not been able to find an additional battery. I have had several exchanges with the seller of this item and got nothing but a run around and no information about where I can get a battery. When the battery fails, I will have a useless trimmer. They told me it was a closeout item resulting in a lower price. There was nothing indicating this in the ad for the product and still does not show up in the ad. I feel I was flimflamed when I purchased this product. Blake
