Amazon.com Product Description:
The Black and Decker Grass Hog XP electric string trimmer and edger is a powerful and easy-to-use tool that gives you fast trimming performance in the toughest weeds, grass and overgrowth. The strong 7.2 Amp motor with high-torque transmission design delivers constant power. This trimmer offers a generous 14-inch cutting swath, and the .080-diameter heavy-duty dual-line system provides improved cutting ability with longer tool life. The Automatic Feed Spool (AFS) cuts faster, has less line wear, and uses centrifugal force so no bumping is required. This trimmer/edger has a lightweight design, weighing only 6.9 pounds, so it is easy to maneuver; the motor and transmission are mounted between the gripping areas, distributing the weight of the tool for better control and less fatigue. The featured Groom'N'Edge quickly converts the equipment from a trimmer to an edger and back again with just a push of the button; the head rotates 180 degrees and the flip-down edge guide makes edging along sidewalks, driveways, and flower-beds fast and simple. The handle can be height adjusted for any user and the soft grips provide maximum control and comfort. This product is backed by a 2-year full warranty.

Rating:  - Low reviews are from BEFORE a recall!
I almost turned my nose up at this when I saw the low review scores, but then read a few and noticed that all of the negative reviews are from before the product was recalled. So I went ahead and bought one based on newer reviews. After one use, I am thrilled. It worked perfectly and made short work of edging my entire lawn for the first time in years (went through grass as well as roots and dirt that had partially covered the sidewalk). It did require multiple passes at a few tough spots, and ... Read More
Rating:  - Buy any trimmer but this one!!
I used this B&D piece of crap for all of ten minutes before I decided it had to go. I was looking for a solid, old fashioned plug in trimmer as I'd had bad experiences using gas and rechargeable units. My gas unit lasted 3 years and was hard to start, my rechargeable unit lasted 6 very underpowered years, but I was astounded at the poor performance I received from this B&D trimmer right out of the box. The AFS system they tout shot through a whole spool of line in around 5 minutes, and even ... Read More
Rating: - great when the operator and trimmer are on the same page.
This is my third GH1000 and it works great. First one was recalled and, the second the belt broke (b&d replaced the trimmer). Its powerful, and well balanaced and the best part is no bumbing required! Worth the money.

Rating: - DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!! PARTS NOT AVAILABLE
i have had this trimmer for 6 mos. and the spool cover cap wore out. (which is quite normal on trimmers) Black and Decker kept telling me that the part ($1.25 retail on their website) was on back order for 2 weeks. Then 1 month, and now (this is 15th of July, 08) they will not be available until Jan. '09!!! Customer service told me nothing they could do, except i could order an entire replacement head, which with shipping & handling would cost almost as much as a new trimmer, which I am going to ...
