Amazon.com Product Description
Every home lawn enthusiast needs a reliable trimmer. When it comes to performance in the front or back yard, the Grass Hog 14-inch automatic feed string trimmer and edger provides what you need. This tool is powered by a 4.8 Amp electric motor that spins the line at 9,500 rpm and gives you a 14-inch cutting swath. An Automatic Feed Spool (AFS) system eliminates the need to bump the trimmer against the ground every time the line breaks. And the 30-foot, factory-wound spool is easy to install and replace. Head adjustment is quick and easy, too, when the Groom'N'Edge head rotates 180 degrees; just press the button, rotate the handle and wait for it to lock in place. The patented cord retention system helps prevent accidental unplugging while in use. This trimmer comes equipped with an auxiliary handle for added comfort and control. The handle rotates a full 360 degrees and the soft grip can be moved up and down to ensure the perfect fit, whatever size the operator may be. A flip-down edge guide ensures precise trimming and edging work. At just 5.2 pounds, this product is easy for just about anyone to use. This product is backed by a 2-year full warranty. --Carl Thress

4 out of 5 stars What a weed whacker!   September 4, 2008

Black & Decker Grass Hog 14-Inch 5-AMP Electric String Trimmer and Edger #GH600
Great product and easy to use. I haven't used it that much yet, but when I did, it did a fantastic job.



4 out of 5 stars Black & Decker Grass Hog 14 inch 5 amp electric   August 27, 2008
Don Michael (Virginia)
I purchased this product to replace a Black & Decker that I previously owned for 10 years. This particular model has adjustable length and uses the same type spools for the string allowing easy replacement when they run out. Since this is an electric model you'll need a long extension cord. We have a half acre of land and it works just fine for our trimming needs. I would buy this product again.


2 out of 5 stars Not Bad but NOT Good Either   August 17, 2008
John N. Schear (Roanoke, Virginia United States)
I am on my third Grass Hog and you'd think I am a real fan. I have number 3 only beause numbers 1 and 2 died soon after buying each. This one has not stopped working just some features like the bump thingy. I will throw this device away as soon as I either get another trimmer or this one dies dead. It, honestly, takes me twice as long to trim the yard by having to stop, undo the string holder, pull some string out, replace the holder and go at it. If the bump worked this would be a 4 rated machine. It can make it to 5 if someone at B&D comes up with a way to make a shaft long enough for folks over 5'7" tall. If you are 6'3" I will almost guarantee a sore back from leaning over while trimming.


4 out of 5 stars Great Trimmer!   August 8, 2008
Amer Shaaban (Waldwick, NJ USA)
This trimmer is amazing, I was able to remove stubborn weeds from my front yard very quickly, has an adjustable wick so you don't have to fiddle around with it, I highly recommend it!


1 out of 5 stars No bump feature didn't work   August 5, 2008
Daisy (Erie, PA United States)
Upon opening the package I found this to be lightweight and cheaply made. We had a prior model of GrassHog which worked for 8 years so we wanted to replace it with a similar model. This is nothing like our prior model! The filament spool jammed and the no bump feature didn't work at all. It was returned and a replacement was sent. It seems to work correctly but I doubt it will even last a year! Buy something else!
