General Comments

This Black and Decker Strimmer has already been replaced by version B. Drive belt broke in less than 4 hours of cumulative use. Also one of the main drive gear wheels has partially melted, which can only be replaced as part of the whole motor assembly. What could have been a good product has been let down by poor design of the drive system.

    Agreed totally. We have now had a failure on our second unit - first unit replaced under guarantee. No support in our part of the world! Purchase not to be recommended.

    Avoid at all cost. Very little use and drive gear now useless as melted. Cant be replaced as whole motor has to be purchased. Still under warranty but lost receipt. Locking button also wore out within two months and had to be replaced.
