I don't want to mess around with gas, nor do i feel like waiting for batteries to charge-- i like being able to pull out an orange ext cord and ready to go. Property isn't that big, and i have plenty of outlets, front and back.
I had a Black and decker-- easily 20+ years old that my father bought. Finally died-- so i got another b&d 2-3 years ago, figuring they lasted. I hate this thing--this auto feed function SUCKS. i have to put more line on every time i use the unit...literally, every time. I tried using the 3rd party bulk amount, also tried the prewound b&d version (which lasted a couple times mowing), but still-- the old bump method just worked-- i would change the string MAYBE once a season.
Everything i see online is auto feed-- is b&d's version of this lousy, or do they all do this?
