Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The only redeeming factor as I see it, is that the thing CAN be filled with a purchased twine you can also buy from Amazon. Two-hundred feet for only a few bucks beats the heck out of paying eight to ten dollars for one of these refills. When the one that came with my Weed Eater literally ran out before finishing my yard ONCE, I was concerned; but figured, okay, maybe it's just that they short you on the one that comes with the product. After installing the second one, it DID last longer... it ran out toward the end of its SECOND use.
By the THIRD one, I had learned NOT to try to do a very tight trim all around my yard, which while not large, is not exactly small when you consider all the edging AND trimming I must do. I figure this one ALMOST lasted through three uses, but that still isn't enough for Louisiana lawns. I can't afford to purchase about fifteen to twenty of these things each growing season, so I bought the 200 feet for less than the cost of one of these things and hope the cartridges have enough life in them to where I need to replace IT once or twice a summer.
The only reason it didn't get TWO is the fact that you CAN refill it with separate twine (make sure it's .065 and the Weed Eater brand is very fairly priced.) Another drawback to these autofeed reels is that they sometimes get cut too short--and it seems you're not getting anything done. At least two or three times a job, I have to turn the thing off, and literally pull the twine back out to where it at least reaches the edge of the edger guide. Then at other times it literally clips the twine so fast that, beyond any reason I can find... the twine is all gone! It does the job, but be prepared to make occasional adjustments. If you don't mind replacing the spool every 3 or 4 jobs (maybe 5 or 6 IF you have a relatively small yard, and/or don't do much edging or triming), then go for the spools, they are a snap to replace--just a bit pricey on this end here in Louisiana--no way I'm going into hock for some $140-$180 each summer to replace twine--at that rate, I could just pay someone else to do the job and save me the aggravation. Use the replacement twine and it's a bargain--if you have the patience to hand wind it.
