You could try to test diffrent types of doors. Like hollow vs solid for durability and marble and tile floors for durability to see whats worth buying for a house
Holy shit, a Black& Decker product that doesn't suck!? Say it isn't so.
I bet your garage is full of cool stuff. Love all your tests.... channel is awesome bro!
Yay me lawn is gonna look good 私の芝生は良さそうです Mi césped se verá bien
That did good. I left another comment below for to read if you could. It would be a great video
This is gonna be great. It looks like a toy you’d get at fisher price edit: Just watched this video and I’m throughly impressed
Maybe that’s to entice ur kids to get out there and cut the grass.
@@bjlo4life haha that’s true, it looks light weight (sorta) and so it would be easy for a kid to do it
This is what I would buy for my son lo
I thought, oh that looks like the toy lawn mower my brother had that blew bubbles. hahaha
Just did the same thing. Foot in mouth lol
This actually seems like a perfect solution for a lot of my customers. They live in the city and some have probably 100 square feet of grass or less. Keeping, maintaining, and storing even a push mower is inconvenient and almost unnecessary. This would be a perfect solution for a small yard like that.
This is definitely something older people can use
Or you could get a reel type mower and not have to worry about dragging cords around. The quality looks poor, and I doubt it lasts more than 2 years.
@@tsuzot8192 You seem to have missed the part that it was about physical storage space and not having a big yard.
@@wolfhound146 Are you thinking about a self-propelled or a pull type reel mower? They make push type reel mowers that are a foot wide.
@@tsuzot8192 So funny as I am realizing this after being awake for 20 hours. I am out of my depth here. I don't have the capacity to be saying much. To answer your question though I'm thinking of the rip cord kind of one which is the only kind I have had the pleasure of knowing for every day self care stuff. I humbly withdraw from this as I have no business talking about lawn care and accept that I made an oopsy.
9:32 and that’s the reason why I love this channel. It begins with some heavy judgment, but then he owes up to it when the product does we’ll… I really do wish him nothing but the best.
I was worried when the video first began and how I was going to have to advocate for this product, but I was pleasantly surprised at the end. I have owned this product for over 4 years and it has never let me down. Anything that I have thrown at it has been no problem. I am in the situation that you mentioned in that I do not have an overly large yard and this thing is compact and perfect for my needs. Only thing I get are weird looks from the neighbors as they drive by and think I am vacuuming my yard, cuz that is exactly how you feel using it.
I bought one of these recently and felt incredibly strange as I vacuumed my lawn, so I am so relieved that it isn’t just me who feels like this!
I cackled at the part where your neighbors look at you weird while using it lol 😂😂😂😂
It's a really ingenious concept. Whoever designed that definitely had their thinking cap on! Great value for money.
Imagine it was gas powered
@@edwardmartinez4008 that would make it heavier and worse. It's a little all-in-one lawncare tool for the person who doesn't want an awful yard, but also can't be bothered with a full suite of implements. It being a little electric doohicky is perfect for that.
Honestly I'd still rather weedeat the grass than use that thing lol
i mean this product is actually worth it. If you have a tiny garden, you get a trimmer and a mower in one. Dont expect it to last for years and years to mow big lawns, but for 100 dollars it,s money well spent.
@@mikehoncho3099 I have used both older weed eaters and newer ones and honestly the newer ones are a LOT better at keeping the line at the right length. I am assuming you are thinking of the bump release style weed whackers that you bump the ground to release more line when you get low, but now a days there are also ones that automatically release more line as the line gets to short. So if your question is "How does it let out more line when you can not bump the head to let out more line?" the answer is "that is uses an automatic release mechanism instead of a bump release" it is a lot more convenient and easy to work with when it is working but it is a lot more of a pain in the ass when it breaks because it a more complex than just simply changing a broken/worn out spring.
As someone who sells lawn equipment I kept yelling at my screen “turn the handle for edging mode.” Glad you discovered it. Models with motors in the trimming head are always the better option when picking an electric slash battery version. I also liked how it looked like you were vacuuming.
Frankly, I'm glad he did it the wrong way first, because it illustrates how genuinely good it is, that even used incorrectly it does an at least passable job.
@@RaptorJesus who's Frank?
@@thee_undertaker lol
Also liked how it looked like vacuuming. lol
No no no handle is better because all the weight is at the handle making it feel lighter In the hand😅😅😅
I bought this mower because I am a senior and cannot lift a regular sized lawnmower. This little mower, edger is amazing. I was able to mow my front and backyard with no problem. Thanks for the review!
That could actually be a great solution for small lawns with difficult access. The compact size and lightweight is also a huge benefit. Cordless would help.
I'm a full time RV'er and some long term parks require you to maintain your own lawn. This looks fantastic for that and WAY more space efficient than any mower.
All you need to mowe a small RV plot with a little practice, is a good battery powered weed eater. I mowed our 50x175 minus house, driveway and one car garage with a gas powered weed eater lots of times .
EGO lawnmowers are battery electric and are very light and compact. Granted they are expensive and don’t come with a weed whacker.
What's a long term park?
@@TheNaturalGamer1 Not an official term as far as I know but what it is to me is an RV park that has a fair monthly rate and has more people that stay for long periods than people overnight or weekending.
Thought the same thing from the very start
Looks like a toy but honestly this is perfect for small front yards if you have a shared apartment house like a duplex
Or something you could get your older parents they ain't got to push a heavy mower or worry about blades hitting stuff hell a granny using a walker could use this and mow her grass "fuck you grandson I can do it myself now"
for anyone that normally does their entire lawn with a weed whip this is. good addition.
I was just thinking perfect for town houses and duplexes or apartments
It's really not unless you feel like stopping and letting out more string every 30 seconds when it breaks
In that case someone else is probably doing it tho
I’m 76 and had been looking for something lightweight to mow/edge five small lawns on the front side of my house. Based on your review, I purchased the battery version of this tool ($159 on Amazon). It works pretty well. I’d give it an 8 out of 10. It’s not for large lawns or heavy dry weed whacking. It works best if the grass is not too wet as well. It has a small issue in that the trimmer unit comes loose from the base wheeled unit if you roll with any twisting motion because the orange clamping mechanism is too short. It works best going straight and I find it works good with a back and forth vacuuming style. I’ll keep using my Ego mower and trimmer on my large back lawns but this B&D unit is perfect for smaller areas.
I've had 1 of these for several months now & LOVE IT!!! It's easy for me to carry & move around! I have a very small shed so it's easy to store! I also have a small yard so I can cut & edge without ever having to hire someone! It's a 2-in-1 mower & edger so I don't have purchase & store 2 pieces of equipment! The cutting cord is very easy to replace! I purchased a LOOOOOONG extension cord to plug mine into…like I said I have a small yard so this works for me! I love it! Best purchase I've made aside from my dryer, Roomba vacuum, & little green cleaner!
Tyler’s neighbors: why is he vacuuming his yard? 🤣
This honestly seems great if tou dont have a ton of grass and want to also save space
Lol, that is what I felt I was doing when I got it yesterday.🤣 Loved it though!
I like it honestly.
I definitely wouldn’t use it to mow my entire lawn but it could make weed eating a little easier for some people.
God bless you and God bless anyone reading this! Hope you have an awesome day! Seek him while you can! Jesus is the way and the only way and he is returning soon! Whenever you think you aren't loved... Remember the ultimate sacrifice was for love! ENDING YOUR LIFE IS NEVER THE ANSWER!
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16 KJV
The wages of sin is death (hell) but Jesus paid our debt on the cross, for our salvation! We must turn to God and away from our sinful ways, Confess Jesus is Lord and believe with our hearts that he was risen from the dead by God, and we must be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and The Holy Spirit and live by His word and Commandments! Trust that God will help with the rest!
Seek God today before it's too late! Today could be your last day on earth!
I have the battery operated version and the edging option is amazing. If you let the wheel ride on the stone or concrete it edges a whole lot better.
That... worked way better than I thought it would. Like, about 500% better than I was expecting. I wouldn't want to mow my whole lawn with it, but it actually *works*. Knock me down with a feather. Honestly, now I want one of those bases for my DeWalt 60V trimmer, it seems like it'd be pretty much ideal for the quick trims around the very edges and under the trees after I've used the zero-turn.
It doesn’t make any sense at all….. just use a weedeater and practice making it flat….
More folks need to admit when they gotta eat their words. respect. Great vid as always man. Thanks!
I love how you have to use it like back and forth like a vacuum cleaner, I wonder that the neighbors think…. Tyler’s out there vacuuming his yard agai
You wouldn't have to do that if the grass wasn't so ridiculously tall.
The reason is that the blade in an actual mower lifts the grass that it's about to cut. This one doesn't always get everything. I usually go 2-3 times over my tiny lawn in different directions with this thing.
As someone with a lot of pine trees on their property, it's actually funny seeing you think of someone vacuuming their yard as goofy. The collection system on my mower vacuums up the needles very very well atd even chops them up (obviously). So, which would be more silly, me taking 5+ hours a week to do it manually or taking about an hour to drive a machine around the yard?
This is the lawnmower u let the kid use to make em feel like their helping dad mow the lawn
I could see this as possibly being useful for small patches. I was skeptical about it too, but after watching this, it actually seems to perform well.
yeah it's decent. could be a good pick for cheap options.
It's great for small yards! 3 years on, mine's still going strong. 450ish sq ft takes me about 20 - 25 minutes. A little slower since it's cut width isn't a regular mower size, but great for irregular shapes and the speed to switch from mow to trim is great versus having two separate machines...
I legitimately have some neighbors who could use something like this. Some of the newer construction homes are built on hillsides that are as steep as 45 degrees because the developers couldn't break through the granite bedrock. Why they didn't cut their losses and just resell the lots is beyond me. Even my own back yard is a challenge with a mower and my next door neighbor's front door opens up to a twenty yard decline down to the street. He already cuts his grass with a trimmer, so this could maybe save his back in the long run.
Sound like some of the homes in Arkansas. I went to visit a friend and she lives in the hill sides and literally it was difficult to drive up her drive way if it was raining and impossible if there was ice at all😅
So I have a cordless black and decker weed Wacker with trimmer wheel and I love it for that purpose. But with a small bit not tiny lawn getting the deck just isn't worth it. Lol i need a real lawn mower for that. If someone has a small tiny lawn or a super steep incline the deck might be worth it.
@@cademolidor9005 I'm guessing in the Northwest region? I lived in and around Fayetteville most my adult life and it's where I learn the old person cliche of walking uphill both ways isn't as silly as it first sounds.
@@enameless4003 It was around Little Rock area if I remember correctly
Exactly what I was thinking
Thank you for your honesty, Tyler. There are plenty of product review creators out there, not necessacarily pertaining to just tool, or lawn care tool reviews, but to almost any and every product on the market. Unfortunately many creators have this ridiculous bias and feed into the stigma around certain brands... which you kind of fed into in the beginning. However despite the stigma around black & decker and some low quality tools that they make, I applaud you for giving your honest and unbiased opinion in the end. You have earned a loyal subscriber. 🤝
For someone living in a 50+ community or apartment/ condo with a tiny lawn this is actually not a bad idea. The mower part keeps it level so you don't scalp in areas but also gives you the option to edge and weed wack. When you're done you can just hang the entire thing on a wall. All for cheap. Actually pretty ingenious idea.
For $100-$150 this really is surprising! The light plastic build is great for anyone older who may have back problems, but has a small yard to trim
Yeah, I can definitely see this as something for the elderly, if they could make it cordless instead of it being a tripping hazard.
@@christophermorin9036 There is a battery version, he didn't get it to test because it was more expensive
My mother uses this one, she is to weak and old to carry a ordinary trimer.
$25 at sears closing sale
@@christophermorin9036 I had a similar one that was cordless for a grandparent who lived in the south. Their yard had a lot of clay and very little actual grass, but a lot of weed shoots scattered about. The bottom part made it a lot easier for them to keep things kept up without having to steady and carry around a normal weed eater.
Found your channel a week or so ago, almost done with all the videos, I love it! Just a guy testing random things with no real plan of action, great content.
I could actually totally see some useful applications for this. You have a little house/townhouse with just a small patch of grass in front, this would work fine and would save on storage space
My kids wanted to earn some money so I cancelled my lawn service and bought them one of these because it's small enough that they can push it around and I don't have to worry about them getting a foot chopped off or whatever. we got the cordless 20v version, zero complaints for the price!
I like the idea of a series of “Amazon worst rated products” great video as always man. Thank you for all the effort you put in, love the content!
Yes! That's a great idea for real.
Little secret with power tools: plug-in, brushed AC motor tools have great torque and dependability and are super cheap. If you only drill where you have access to power, get a corded drill!
Corded across the board. Can't stand dealing with batteries.
project farm has a vid comparing corded vs cordless, cordless are often safer [re: blade stop time], and for some brands [esp dewalt drivers] the cordless can have MUCH more torque. I personally do use corded as well, less worry about charging batteries
Absolutely corded is almost always going to be better, with maybe a few exceptions. It makes me curious if the battery powered version would've performed as well as this version.
@@wairgald We have a similar model to this, it’s an 18V battery powered trimmer/edger from black and decker. It performs about as good as the one in the video, but it definitely does not hold up to larger yards. It’ll do fine for smaller spaces, but I would much more recommend the corded variety. If you’re buying a tool like this, for light use in smaller yards, you probably wouldn’t mind having an extension cord running to your work area. Plus, with the corded models, you won’t have to worry about the battery decaying over the years, not to mention having to recharge it all the time.
@@pvanukoff time and a place for each!
Be happy you got the plug in version! I have the battery powered weed eater (not the mower). It works fine, but, I can tell yours is much stronger and eats through much easier. Mine works fine for my uses (and not having to be plugged in I prefer). I got the battery powered weed eater & blower for about $100. Used to use a lawn service that cost about $1,000 a year. This year I decided to get some low cost items to do it all myself. $230 mower (no bells and whistles, not self-propelled, but works great), and the $100 weed eater / blower. So, just this first year saved myself about $670. So far haven't even gone through one gallon of gas either (been mowing since around March - August). Standard front and backyard single family raised ranch home.
I love the dedication to doing everything in sandals
I like how you don't hold onto bashing during testing any items. What a stand-up guy.
Not gonna lie. If I saw my neighbor mowing his entire lawn with this I would watch him through the window sipping coffee thinking (what a f&@$ing idiot)
I laughed more than I should at this comment. Lol.
Could the bad reviews be from lawn care companies not wanting to be out done by Black & Decker? 🤣Brilliant & Impressive! Thank you for testing out this product Tyler.. I have one ordered and to be delivered tomorrow. 👍
Have always needed a walk-behind to mow a few small places where our riding mower can't get to. Recently had our 12 year-old walk-behind die, and the options were pay $300 to get it fixed, or $450 for a brand-new mower. I was about to drop $450, then watched your video - and for $90 to get the 5 minutes of mowing we need done, I'm sold.
You saved me some money today, good sir. Thank you!
I love it that the fact you NEVER ask for subs, you just make content that is awesome to watch. This is why you got a sub
Would like to see how it does on the lower setting too but it seemed pretty good for the price
5:50 Bro, I love how it looks like your vacuuming your lawn.🤣
I used to own a B&D NiCad battery powered weedeater and blower. They actually works pretty well for me. I didn't need to cut down anything too thick though, so it worked good for basic weedeating of grass. My house isn't too big, but I needed 2 batteries (and 2 chargers) for it. Mow the back yard, then weedeat. Then charge the battery as you mow the front yard and then use the other battery to weedeat + edge. Then go back to the first battery, which was now fully charged, and use it for the blower to clean up.
My only complaint were the batteries themselves. I had to constantly replace them every 2 years because they'd get corrupted and refuse to charge anymore (gave an error on the charger). I began to just buy third party ones off Amazon for half the price. Served my needs ok.
The weedeater and blower lasted me about 6-8 years before the weedester just stopped working one day, even with a fully charged battery. I think the motor finally gave out. I also have a B&D battery powered drill that's serving me well. My point is that I wouldn't say B&D is crap. It definitely isn't for heavy duty tasks, but serves the average DIYer pretty well. But that weedeater-lawnmower thing... that's just a dumb idea. Maybe if all your yard consists of is a 10sq ft patch of grass, then sure. Then it'd be a brilliant idea!
I just really enjoy watching guys do their very best to avoid reading any and all available INSTRUCTIONS. Hilarious! Great job Tyler.
...Kurt's mom
Gotta love that smile at the end when he said “I think I needa eat my words a little” haha I was super impressed as well. I work at a returns warehouse and see a bunch of those. It’s probably because everyone here where I live has big lawns and and if they have a tiny patch of grass it’s fake. None the less that thing looks pretty good!
If I had a big city "lawn," basically a small patch, I'd consider it. No need to get a gas mower to make 2 short runs every other week.
My wife and I have one simply because the campground we live in requires us to maintain our own lot. For our purposes, this is amazing.
Grandmother had this. Worked like a charm for her small yard. No sharpening blades, super lightweight, quieter, and she could also trim.
I love that Tyler's still rocking the tent in the yard.
Like ur profile image
I have this one (or an earlier version) and I absolutely love it! My hard has an incline, is cursed with random large rocks semi-buried in the ground, and multiple types of grass/weeds. The gas mower’s blade got completely bent out of shape twice and the gas weed eater is too heavy and large for me to handle comfortably. My Black & Decker weed eater/mower takes care of all of those issues - it doesn’t give a hoot about rocks and can handle the various grasses and weeds. It doesn’t weigh a ton like the gas mower and whacker and is good for my shorter height. And, it’s small so it doesn’t take up a lot of space in the shed. My yard is quite large and if I let it go for more than 2 weeks, it does take a while to do the mowing. So what? I just take sections of yard for a few days. If I keep up with the mowing I can do the whole yard rather quickly. Seriously, I love my mower/whacker combo from Black & Decker!
They also sell the bottom piece separately so you can fit it on an existing B&D weed eater. Obviously it's not meant to mow your entire lawn. But it's damn handy to get to places where your mower can't fit, like on uneven ground, around fences, on steep slopes, between bushes or trees, etc. It's kind of situational depending on your lawn, but it's great at certain things.
I wouldn't use it as a main mower unless you have a really tiny townhouse lot or something (might be all you really need). It's more of an accessory, ya know? I mostly use it for the steep slope on the side of my yard where it's hard to maneuver my full size mower.
I bought this thing when I had multiple ear surgeries and was not able to lift or pull start my old mower. This thing got me through a year. It worked quite well. Great for maintenance. It's like doing the yard with hair clippers.
Does anyone remember angry grandpa mowing his lawn with a weedwhacker lol
I've seen the battery operated ones, they're good for situations, I could see why certain owners/renters with small yards would like it.
My lawn is tiny enough that two batteries and an 11" 18v Ryobi One+ mower takes care of it. With the second battery then used with an edger to finish.
TylerTube: I have not had much good luck with Black & Decker products. I had some rechargeable products from them in the past, and they had to be recharged way too often, and within a few weeks they would not recharge at all so I felt like I got ripped off. Also, with weed eaters usually the trimmer line has to be replaced way too often. I am really glad that you had great luck with one of their products.
We have a small lawn and I used that weed eater and edger often. It works well. When you want to edge you can switch the handle and it becomes a more ergonomic edger. For the price hard to beat. I now have a greenworks battery power option that works better but for the price the black and edger can get it done if you don't have a gigantic yard.
This would be very decent for someone with a small yard, you get a half-decent and inexpensive mower and a trimmer to get the whole job done. Plus it could be stored inside after being cleaned if you don't have access to a garage or shed
Ha I actually own this but battery powered! I think it’s a pretty decent budget weed eater and that’s what I was looking to get. I’ve had it for years! I have the mower attachment too but I didn’t get it to mow my whole lawn. It’s just an additional attachment for my weed eater/edger I would use to do spot mowing if needed. I got a bunch of B&D tools when I bought my house because I can use any battery for any device. I don’t use tools all that often. Drill, edger, leaf blower and sawzall are the tools I use the most but not enough to justify buying high end ones. I have more tools but barely use them but I still can use their batteries. I was concerned these tools would just break right away because these are not high quality but nearly 8 years later they all still work. My gamble payed off big!😂
Same here, I put my B&D tools through more than the average home owner and they have done the jobs. Catch is that half of them have been picked up with credit card rewards points. I've got a small yard and the battery weed eater is way better than dealing with my old 2 stroke weed eater. Would recommend.
The reason it likely didn't bog down is partly because it has a decent motor, but mostly because it's a weed cutter with a wheel attachment. Make that exact same setup with a fixed blade and it would probably bog down when you cut dense 5 cm tall grass. Having the motor spin just a wire or a thread is super efficient and kind for the motor. It's how it can stay so cheap but also be so effective for the price.
The battery powered one works well. I have a rv and the spot it sits on has to be mowed. My wife found this. I thought I'll give it a shot. Worth it!!!
Nice lawn Tyler
Wow, I went from laughing to slack jawwed… mainly at how bad you are at edging but in the proper hands it’s quite impressive. Thanks for another installment of “I thought it was garbage”
Typical youtuber edging in his sandals. 😆
Thanks so much for this video, and your honest opinion. I bought one yesterday and will take it out for a spin tomorrow. I'm in Thailand with a tiny lawn but feel good about the purchase now. Good vid.
I bought this about 4 years ago, and it was really great, other than my lawn being a bit too big for it so it would take me like 3 hours to do my lawn, so we upgraded to an electric mower but this thing is still my weeder and edger that i use monthly and its never let me down!
Honestly it's really good value, you get a weed eater and lawnmower in one package. It actually does a decent job as well.
I bet that thing could mulch leaves like a beast. If it does work boy no more raking leaves
We should get a video on how well an robotic lawnmower does?
That would be great
My first thought when seeing that was, Hmm that looks wicked easy for a remote control hack. Just add some smaller motors, a controller and receiver the only thing is I'd want the battery version so I wouldn't run over the cord
What I like about this channel is things I thought would be garbage I’m usually impressed by
I have the cordless one from when I had a rental property with a tiny yard. Also, when I had a back injury, it made cutting the grass so much easier. PLUS, I sometimes lend it to my elderly parents and my mom loves it. Had it 4yrs, and no complaints. Way to go Black and Decker
I get so exited when I get the notification that he posted
I used to have this. You didn't mention my favorite thing about it. The line somehow automatically advances itself. You don't have to bump it or let go of the trigger or anything. It just does it.
That is a feature sorely lacking in even some higher end weed eaters.
I was wondering about that! That's really useful.
It just feeds out a bit every time the trigger is pulled. Nothing special but eats up more line than is needed
@@Beardman56 Nope. It automatically just keeps the line where it needs to be. It's pretty great and should be on every weed whacker if you ask me. Here's what I found about it, "The Automatic Feed Spool (AFS) is the technologically advanced line feed system found on Black & Decker string trimmer products. Using centrifugal force, the system monitors the amount of line being used and feeds more line automatically as the cutting line shortens."
@@GreggyWeggy yep it calibrated to a certain length. It lets some out everytime the trigger is pulled an got a little knife that cuts off the excess. It's used on almost every cheap electric trimmer. It's a garbage system for anyone that uses a real string trimmer
I love how every time he tries black and decker stuff, he's pleasantly surprised how well they work. Milwaukee is definitely elite, but B&D is a cheap and reliable option if you don't need elite expensive tools.
I agree I got a B&D jig saw that I've had for 10 years with regular use I abuse it too I cut thick metal as long as it fits it goes 😂the only thing that I defeats it is when the blades dull out not perfect though but definitely reliable and cheap
If you have some degree of mobility problem, unable to hold the strimmer up for any length of time then having the roller deck is handy.
Handy for doing small areas where you don't need to get out a mower.
I have the battery operated version of the weed whacker; love it. Works great! My only complaint is the battery life; I did buy an extra battery, but it's good for smaller lawns. Still, two thumbs up.
There is a adapter made to use the 20 volt batteries if this is the 18 volt set up I remember seeing. Also found on Amazon.
I see this is the 20 volt but comes with 2 ah batteries I found that the better rated after market ie Chinese batteries in 6ah lasted a lot longer on my tools.
Yeah you can order off brand bigger batteries with longer life and what I did is buy an adapter to use them on my makita tools. Haven't had any issues so far.
What's funny, as an appraiser I've seen homes with 20 sf of lawn. That B&D would be perfect, lol. They usually have the old school push mower which really still cuts the best. People always crack up when I wear my raw toast t-shirt.
I was shopping for a hedge trimmer a couple of years ago (I have two hedges, 75 ft long and 3 ft thick), and the salesperson pointed over to the B&D hedge trimmer. I had real doubts about it, and he said "You're gonna wear out before it does." 20ah battery, that fit both it and the weed trimmer. I bought both.
He wasn't lying - I was cutting hedge branches 1/2" thick, did both (150 ft), took the battery off, and then weed trimmed around the entire house.
They may look chintzy, but I've never regretted buying them!
Thanks alot. We just moved into our house and I don't know anything about lawn. I thought this is a starter until I get used to taking care of my lawn. Thanks alot.
Maybe it's a regional slang thing but thats a weed wacker. Love the vids bro just never heard it called that lmaoo
Heard it growing up in Wisconsin. Weed whacker
It’s a good day when Tyler posts!
I just got this yesterday to get around palm trees that the riding lawnmower won’t get around and to trim along the fences. I love it it’s awesome and it works just like you said. And I cut stuff even way longer than yours because my husband hurt his back and it hasn’t been done. We have the plug-in one with the extension cord in our yards big I highly recommend.🎉😊
I received this product about a week ago, and have used in on my entire large back yard. I have a regular push corded mower but it's heavy to push and maneuver. Yes, the mower mulches, so it leave a good looking lawn, but it wears me out. This little weed whacker is just that, a weed whacker on wheels so you can push it. It's just like a vacuum cleaner in how light it is in operating. I live in Florida, and in the really hot weather, I almost kill myself mowing. This little baby is going to save me from heat stroke. It is powerful, easy to move around, and I can store it in a tiny space. I have the corded one, as all my yard tools are corded. For $100, I cannot think of a better yard tool. And I don't even work for them. I am not afraid of my grass this summer, for once. It even goes through thick weeds, of which I have plenty. I am arguing with myself about buying a backup unit I love it that much.
imagine making a product that you’re very proud of and then you see your product on Tylers YT video 😭
Considering his opinion at the end, not so bad in this case. Came in prepared to laugh my head off, but wow. I've seen actual mowers based on string trimmers, but those are big, and "must stand behind" for a lack of full guard. mainly due really tall stuff like mowing where the grass is practically hay. Glad to see this did well. :)
I have the B&D trimmer but not the deck. Its a pretty good trimmer and has lasted at least 2 years so far. Bought an actual mower though.
Yeah I used to have that, no issues with it
I've got a rental with a tiny little bedroom-sized patch of lawn out front and have one of these for my tenants and they love it. One machine lets them do mowing and any string trimming they might want to do, and for a bit of lawn that size anything more than this would be overkill. Wouldn't imagine using it for anything bigger but for that use-case it's pretty perfect.
I laughed out loud when you put that mower on the bench. 😂
Actually have the standalone weed eater version. At first i was skeptical, as i grew up with gas powered ones. After a round around the house with it, i was genuinely surprised.
I have their B&B battery hedge trimmer as well as the weedeater - I can trim 150' of my hedge, take the battery off, and then still trim around the house. The salesman literally guaranteed me that "You'll run down before it does." He was right - 5 years later, still using both - happily!
Ngl I didn’t even know I could buy lawn mowers on Amazon
I wouldn't 😂
You can buy a lot in Amazon. But Wish and so are much better for crazy things.😂
You can, or could, buy houses on there
Fun little extra thing to note, I have a battery powered Black & Decker weed wacker, and a battery powered drill by Black & Decker.. Fun little thing to note on that is that the exact same battery for the weed wacker fits in the drill, the only thing I would recommend you get is the battery with the gray bottom to it because it lasts longer, I think it's like a 2.5 or something like that, but definitely can get more done with it, so if you have like two houses to weed whack or something, definitely recommend that
I had just bought this model and it just arrived have not opened it and happened to see your video, I only have a small portion of grass to take care off and a regular weed eater was killing my back. Well I did watch other videos that rated this model well so I bought it. Saw rhat you liked it so tommorow if its not raining I wiill use it, good job on being so honest and reversing you original expectations. Thanks.
I think the cable itself is holding this thing back, because once I went from cheap smooth cable to the heavy ribbed stuff, it made a world of difference.
(I'm talking about a different trimmer, not the one in the video)
Love your content
I’ve used 2 black and decker weed eaters just like this for my landscaping business and they’ve held up amazing over the last 4 years with tons of use. I think this looks like a decent product.
Lawnmowers cost $300.00 and up and HEAVY.
My brand new battery for my Ryobi weed eater barely lasts 15 minutes.
I ordered the CORDED version of this product today. I cannot wait to get it.
I had the same little weedeater maybe 7 years ago and that thing was bad ass I loved it. It was perfect for the tiny little yard I had at the time. When I moved to a house with I bigger yard I thought I'd upgrade to the battery version and Unfortunately that's thing was a pice of garbage. Bogged down super easily and the battery maybe lasted 20min and too 4 hours to change. Yea the corded version is so much better its not even funny.
Seems like a great product for the elderly and those on a budget. No maintenance, two in one, and lightweight. I’ll give black and decker credit, they did well on this one!
It is!!! I HAVE HEART ISSUES AND PERIPIAL ARTERY DISEASE...this is way easier then pushing mower. Oh and the string doesn't get broke at all..
Finally someone used it with longer gras, well done brother. Thanks for the Video! cheers from Switzerland
That mower is awesome! We have a normal mower but this works as both a weedwacker and then we use the deck for between our flower beds. Works perfect. We love it.
This would be fine for very small yards, and I mean very small
I get the concept but if they sold a different head that used the little plastic blades and put a discharge on the mower base I think it would work alot better
Black and Decker electric weed eaters have been around for at least 40 years. Pretty bulletproof for a homeowners use. The wheel thing is such a simple idea that works! That's cool.
I don't think I've ever called a piece of lawn equipment cute, but honestly when it's in "mowing" mode, it's pretty cute.
I used to have one of these when I had a small, awkwardly hilly yard. Worked well! It did feel like I was vacuuming the yard instead of mowing it though.
That's actually NOT a bad mower, I know a lot of people that own town houses, small lawns and use this rig, it's awesome
I got 2 tool sets from my family and ex’s family for Christmas a few years ago. I thought they were childrens toys and once I realized they weren’t i had to fight the laugh that was building 😂😂
