I will second that. I have the black & decker as well. I've had it for
about a year. My yard is about 10,000 sq feet without a lot of trimming
(15
minutes generally) and it works fine. The re-chargeable battery has held
up
fine - I don't always re-charge between uses and it has never been a
problem. If I had a lot of trimming, my opinion might change.

I have 3 acres +structures (house, garage, above-ground pool with deck,
propane tank, etc) and I bought a Black-and-Decker cordless trimmer. It
does the job - yeah, it takes about 1/2 an hour, but nothing to screw
with other than cleaning out the guard and replacing the spool.

It's a one-stringer. Frankly, I'd never used a string trimmer before
(only the heavy-duty farm type with the big-assed radial saw blade).
I'll call it adequate. Biggest plus is as I said - low upkeep. Plus
only cost like 60 bucks.

One possible complaint about this model, that I didn't mention above, is
that it is a bit awkward to handle. The handles are a bit close together
and there is not shoulder strap. It's not very heavy though and for a small
job it is really not much of an issue. If I were on it for much more than a
half hour, I would probably want something else.
