If you're in the market for a basic, entry-level electric trimmer to handle light trimming work around your house, the Black and Decker 9-inch grass trimmer might be worth considering. While certainly not as powerful or feature-laden as more costly models, this trimmer can handle much of the light-duty work many homeowners need. The trimmer weighs just 3.2 pounds and requires little assembly with just 2 steps. It operates off a reliable, 1.8-amp HP motor, which spins the line at 11,000 rpm. This grass trimmer features a basic bump feed line system, a generous nine-inch cutting path, and a secondary assist handle for added comfort and control. It comes with 20 feet of .065-diameter line, and spool replacement is fairly simple. One thing I found especially handy with this particular trimmer was its unique cord lock system, which holds the extension cord firmly in place while the trimmer is in use. As someone who has accidentally unplugged a trimmer halfway through a job on more than one occasion, this indeed a handy feature to have. This product is backed by a 2-year full warranty. --Carl Thress

Ideal for smaller yards or light-duty trimming jobs, as well as post-mowing maintenance, this electric grass trimmer from Black & Decker cuts a nine-inch path and weighs under four pounds so it's easy to handle and control. The ST1000 owes its reliable performance to a 1.8 Amp motor that operates at 11,000 RPM. A bump feed spool allows feeding of the line as needed (it's a snap to replace the spool), and a convenient cord retention system guards against unintended unplugging while you're working. The ST1000 includes 20 feet of .065-diameter line, a secondary assist handle, and a 2-year warranty. For added convenience, it also comes ready to assemble in just two straightforward steps.

Does it's job:
When this trimmer first arrived, it came in a box so small i thought there was some kind of mistake.when i opened it up, i realized that the trimmer came in three seperate parts, attached together by an electrical cord. very space saving and compact. even after you connect the 3 pieces together, it is not a very large tool, and is very light. as for how it performs, it does its job satisfactorily. i would have to go over certain areas more than once, but i did that with my old trimmer so it is not an issue... more info
Great LITTLE Trimmer:
I have a lot of large pots under trees and in other grassy areas.....I love this trimmer. Its small head is perfect for getting in between pots---I don't have to shove heavy pots around to keep grass, asian jasmine, etc., tidy in all the areas where I've grouped bunches o' pots. All the other trimmers I could find were WAY too big. It's also a perfect size to allow me to do some pretty intricate edging in tight areas. This trimmer is GREAT. And amazingly sturdy for the price! I'm on my second one.....the... more info
Just OK:
The product is just ok, I probably would have sent back, but cheap enough so
it will work in a few areas around the home, and I did not want to pay return shipping. Will just keep practicing to get better performance I think. I am sure it will be ok for small
jobs. As usual you get what you pay for.
very lightweight:
great for a person with back problems since it is so lightweight. The cord can be a pain in the butt to haul it around a large yard, but it is worth it for me since I have a bad back. It takes care of very tall (~6 inches), thick grass even though it isn't the strongest motor.
