Highly recommend
I highly recommend this trimmer to anyone looking for one! This trimmer is lightweight, easy to use and ergonomically designed. I actually own two of these so that when the first one needs charged I can keep trimming with the second one. It take me over 2 hours to trim our yard and I have no hand fatigue using these trimmers. I also have another brand, it is much heavier, and does cause hand fatigue due to its design.

High Quality Shears
A nice feature are the stainless steel blades which are a huge improvement over other brands. They are much more durable than regular steel blades which rust and dull quickly. These shears have plenty of power to do the job and I would recommend these to anyone.

Buyer Beware! Apparently Qaulity Is Not Assured
The review by Karen mirrored closely my experience with these cordless clippers. The charge lasted less than two minutes each time. Clearly the battery was to blame and rather than ship them back I ended up getting a rechargeable B&D shears plus hedge trimmer unit. Contrary to other reviews posted here, those have worked well. So the lesson seems to be that each brand has its good and bad units and that a lot depends on the quality of the battery in the unit.

A real aggressive grass trimmer
I had a Black and Decker grass trimmer for the last 8 years and it worked OK but was holding less charge. I went to Lowes and purchased a new B&D trimmer that was worthless, it had no power to cut grass. I purchsed the American Gardener trimmer and find it is a real go getter--cuts grass like crazy. I strongly reccomend this product. Just watch your fingers since this item really cuts grass.

Works well, battery life only complaint.
This is the second time I have purchased these shears. It's really only a one season product in my experience. The battery last about two lawn edging times and then must be recharged. After a season the battery wouldn't hold a charge. However, it does work well and does do a good job of edging your lawn. The blades are very sharp and it even edges tough grass when fully charged. I feel it's worth buying, even with the battery disappointment, based on the reasonable price.
