    Absolutely useless - this Black & Decker GL350 Strimmer chews the line into little bits and doesn't strim more than 3 ft to a whole spool. What a waste of money - have spent a fortune on replacement spools thinking I was doing something wrong!!!!!!

    made the mistake of buying one of these Black & Decker Strimmers off ebay 2nd hand and totally agree with everyobne's else's comments - couldn't work out why I was getting through the whole line and finding bits all over the garden. Also despite it only being used a few times it won't work when the head is swiveled so possible fault there.

    The Black&Decker GL350 strimmer does not work. Do NOT buy it. You may just as well burn your "hard earned" on the barbeque. How these companies have got the gall to even contemplate putting such rubbish products on the market defies logic. They surely cannot ever test them.
    There are no positives. There is nothing to recommend the product. Oh! Sorry it's not a bad colour.

    My Dad bought me the B&D GL350 a few months ago as I'd had a new lawn laid last Autumn. Me and garden equipment don't always get on and I really thought it was me that was doing something wrong, but after reading these comments, I feel relieved that it isn't me. I must have spent about £70 on new spools, only for them to unwind and be chopped into little pieces after about 5 mins. This product should be taken out of the shops as it is clearly faulty.

    I have used a B&D cordless for some years and it was good in a large garden. It needs new batteries but I bought a Black & Decker GL350 Strimmer instead as it is much lighter.
    What a useless product. As soon as the cord hit the wooden lawn edging it broke off and unwound. After rewinding it went round the (small) lawn OK but left about 2cm of cord every metre or so.
    I decided to get a refund and maybe buy some new batteries.

    No wonder we were given this Black & Decker Strimmer for free from boyfriends sister!!!! Been waiting for ages to get refill cartridge finally got one and thought I had set it up wrong as it chewed it up straight away! Came on internet to find instructions and have realised it's not my fault!! How terrible that B&D can get away with selling such a useless product!! Glad it was free but will be having a word with his sister for palming it off on us :)

    I bought this Black & Decker GL350 Strimmer and used it for the first time today. It did exactly what everyone else said, chewed up all the line within the first 20 mins of using it. I was about to get some more line when I came across this review page, fab website. Only wish I had checked this out, I will be returning first call tomorrow with receipt in hand for a refund.

    ive had this black & decker GL350 strimmer for a day, and not managed to cut any grass as the line constantly breaks or unreels itself.

    I've had my Black & Decker GL350 Strimmer for a year but only used once. Got it out the other day and it shreaded the wire. Was going to buy more wire, but after reading these reviews will get a different brand and not waste more money on B&D rubbish.

    The Black & Decker GL350 Strimmer is the most useless product I have ever seen - the only thing it cuts is its own line.

    I can only reiterate what everybody else has said on here. Don't touch the Black & Decker GL350 Strimmer with a barge pole. I will be going back to Homebase this week after spending as much on spare lines as I did on the machine itse;f in less than am month.

    The Black & Decker GL350 Strimmer is smart looking and reasonably light. Powerful. A cynical disregard by B & D for the cost and inconvenience of buying and too frequently replacing an over price strimmer line.
    They are using the same accountancy tactics of cheap ink jet printers where small ink volume cartridge replacement can soon add up to more than the cost of the orginal product.

    Well I'm pleased I'm not a useless bimbo. I bought and use this Black & Decker GL350 Strimmer in Tenerife where I live, and where noone seems to know how to put in the string correctly. My husband is a Technical Engineer and it has left him tied up in knots too. I nearly hurled it in the bin today!!

    What a waste of money and strimmer wire! I bought this product last year, and like many others thought I was wiring up the spool wrong, so ended up buying the ready to use spools, and got the same effect. Unfortuntely I will not get my money back now, but will next time be very weary of buying another black and decker product.

    I wish I had read these comments before my purchase. I bought
    my Black & Decker GL350 Strimmer at the end of last season so it has been stored until recently. The box isnt big enough to fit everything in. Like everybody else its a disaster.
