Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker GH1000 Grass Hog XP 14-Inch 7.2 Amp Electric String Trimmer/Edger
Customer Review: Strong motor, but uses way too much string
Summary: 1 Stars
I've had several Grasshog string trimmers over the last 5 years. I'm currently on my 4th one, the first time with this new model. I can't use gas models as the fumes make me ill, so I am stuck with the Black and Decker Grasshog series as it seems to be the only electric model sold in my area. I was impressed with the strong motor on the GH1000 series. I also like the motor being near the handle rather than at the bottom as I am able to maneuver the trimmer better. However, I am giving this model one star for the simple reason that it is a horrible hog when it comes to the trimmer line. My yard has 3/4" pieces of trimmer line all over it. I have never had a trimmer use so much line. I had to rewind the spool 3 times while using it about 2 hours yesterday and 1 hour today. I used to get a whole weekend of trimming one a single spool, but not with this one. I'm hoping the local stores start carrying another brand so I don't have to get another Black and Decker when this trimmer dies.
