    A very big disappointment
             
    This trimmer, purchased 1 month ago to replace a previous 18V B&D cordless trimmer, which literally fell apart after 3 years use due to seizure of the drive gear on its shaft. Of course, that left me with four batteries, 2 original batteries which lasted lesss than 6 months and 2 after market batteries (Interstate) which ran the unit 3 to 4 times longer than the B&D batteries and cost 60% of B&D's price for replacements. The leftover batteries are the only reason I bought another B&D trimmer - but no more. This NST2118 trimmer lacks a lot-the method for swinging from trim to edge sucks; it's also how you extend the shaft, which happens on its own most of the time, and the spool empties after less than 100 feet of trimming (new spool or refilled spool). This model is a joke, on us the customers, and is the last B&D product for us.
    Pros:

    With after-market batteries, it trims well.

    Cons:

    Adjustment - trim to edge, which is rediculous compared to the setup on the previous model. Short (very short) string life, which I'm going to give my dealer a chance to fix or return our money. Short life and lack of power with standard B&D batteries.

    Very nice trimmer !
             
    This trimmer is light weight, easy to use, and looks really good. The direct drive power works well, the auto feed is a very good feature and saves time to have to stop and bump. Have found that battery life has been improved since buying the fast BDMVC-CA charger. The only thing I would like to add to this unit is a wheel for lawn edging. The built in clip is alright but don't find that I would use it. Compact and built well. Happy with this trimmer !
    Pros:

    Looks really good, compact and a good fit.

    Cons:

    The edger clip, would rather have a wheel to guide along the side walk.

    Gotcha after purchase
             
    Great trimmer... but battery life is very short. Can't even trim around the edge of my city lot completely. I see why they include two batteries, but the charge time is too long. And... Auto line feed is great, but three replacement spools ($20) last about 2 mowings. The one that came with the unit only lasted about 5 minutes. At least the battery lasted longer. I recommend a better model. I think B&D missed the mark on this one.
    Pros:

    Inexpensive to purchase

    Cons:

    Poor battery life. Line spools very expensive and consumed too quickly.

    A goat has more power
             
    The trouble with this model is that is lasts about 5 minutes. The trimmer slows down so it is hard to cut a blade of grass. When you check the battery power, it says that there is 17 volts. With that power, it should run fine. Definitely a piece of equipment that was not tested very whell before it was placed on the markes. An old fashion sycthe would last longer.
    Pros:

    light weight

    Cons:

    you are lucky if it lasts more than 5 minutes on.

    Great concept but if the rechargeable batteries only last a few months you have a poor product
    Pros:

    at this point, nothing

    Cons:

    the fact that I need a new trimmer or replacement battery that will only last a few times.

    This Is a Mixed Bag...
             
    Bought this to replace my heavy, hard to handle, impossble to start without a dislocated shoulder gas trimmer. The B&D is lightweight and easy to handle. Adjustable length is a huge advantage for a short person. Auto line feed is very convenient. Did a nice job on grass and small weeds. HOWEVER: The assembly instructions left me guessing about several things. One battery lasted 10 min and took forever to recharge. I'm pretty sure it's got to be defective. If B&D is really a reputable, consumer oriented company, they'll replace it. The second lasted 1/2 hour and recharged in a reasonable amount of time. Don't expect this model to get medium to big weeds. All things considered, I'd spend a bit more and get a better trimmer. Oh, well. Too late now.
    Pros:

    Light weight; easy to handle. Adjustable length. Auto line fee.

    Cons:

    Battery life. Inadequate instructions.

    Not as good as previous models
             
    I love B&D's line of cordless tools, but unfortunately, the trimmers only seem to last a couple of years before the line feed goes bad. So I get this model and the first thing I notice is how small the guard is compared to the previous one I had (NST2018). Sure enough, you better wear long pants cause the flying debris will make your ankles smart. Make the guard bigger again, please!
    Pros:

    Portability; powerful

    Cons:

    Guard is too small; on previous models, the line feed goes bad

    Love it!
             
    When I first Brought my new Black N Decker Trimmer, I didn't know what to expect. I got cause my old gas trimmer just wouldn't start anymore. This Black N Decker Trimmer is the best Trimmer I've ever used, hands down! The battery life is long,and I rarely use the 2nd one. I even have 2.5 acres of land, and it does more than get the job done.Thank God I don't have to buy gas and mix it up for a trimmer anymore. Thank you so much Black N Decker.
    Pros:

    Instant Start, self feeding line, lite weight, and saves me money on gas.

    Cons:

    Lacking in power just a bit.
