I just recently ordered my 18 volt Black and Decker Grass Hog online. I have two other 18 volt Black and Decker tools and I've had good experiences with them, so I was pretty confident about ordering this online. It's very light weight and easy to use. The batteries between the 18 volt tools are interchangeable, so I could use the batteries that came with my other tools to extend the time. The Black and decker cordless tools are all so simple to use. You just click the battery into place. Push a button and off you go. No gas or pulling a string to start. The only downside is of course, having to recharge the batteries and work within the time they give you, but hey! It's so convenient and easy to use! My Grass Hog came with two batteries, which normally cost about $35 a piece if you buy them by themselves. The total price I paid was only $99 including shipping. It's much more powerful than I expected and even gets thin blackberry vines. The batteries last about 15 minutes a piece with this particular machine, so I use 4 batteries and get about an hour's worth of work done, which is enough for me. All in all, I'm very happy with it and feel that the trade off of having slightly less power (than a gas powered weedeater), but not using gas is well worth it. It comes with one spool of string, which so far has lasted me a long time. I have a large farm and I weedeated out a quarter mile path and I still have plenty of string left. It's a good value.
