PROS
- This electric string trimmer is affordable, and the head adjusts for edging and trimming.
- The Black & Decker GH900 is an affordable electric string trimmer with plenty of power and many nice features.
- It is lightweight and versatile, functioning as both a trimmer and an edger.
- It has a wide, 14-inch cutting radius and a wheel for easy maneuverability along a sidewalk or driveway while you are edging.
CONS
- This BLACK+DECKER GH900 string trimmer also has automatic line feed, which is a nice feature but the unit tends to go through line quickly. However, it is nice to have the ability to adjust line without removing the cap every time.
- The Black & Decker GH900 only uses one line, which cuts down on how frequently you’ll have to replace the spool compared to a dual-line
- The most common complaints you’ll hear about this electric weed eater is that it sometimes has trouble feeding line and that it goes through line quickly.
- Black & Decker suggests storing additional spools of line in a plastic bag with a tablespoon of water to keep the line from drying out. This may prevent it from breaking as often.
Our Verdict
With a large cutting radius and plenty of power and versatility, this multi-functional trimmer is a nice value for its price.
The Black & Decker GH900 electric weed cutter is an economical, lightweight electric string trimmer that packs a pretty good punch in terms of power. For a trimmer in this price range, it has some nice features. With its 6.5-volt battery, it has plenty of power to get rid of tough grass and overgrowth in your yard. Plus, the 14-inch cutting path allows you to get the job done without working too hard. It only weighs 5.5 pounds.
The shaft adjusts to different heights, and it rotates so you can use it to trim weeds and overgrowth and then rotate it into edging mode. It also has a single wheel that will help you move it along the sidewalk or driveway as you edge your lawn. A double-wheel design tends to be more stable, but single wheels are common for this price point. The handle in front can also make it awkward to maneuver at certain angles.
