Default Who's in love with their string trimmer?

Got a trimmer you've been really happy with? I'm leaning toward rechargable
because I don't have outside electrical outlets and I don't feel like
installing any. I have probably 300 feet of trimming to do, but it wouldn't
matter if it didn't all get done in one session. Not interested in a gas
trimmer.

Talk to me.


I know you're probably sold on an electric trimer, DON'T. I did the
same thing three years ago and only have a 1/3 acre lot. Just
yesterday I ditched the electric and went gas. I was simply tired of
dragging a cord around the yard, having it snare on trees, cars,
shrubs, etc. From what I've heard the rechargables will last one
season MAYBE two, and they cost pretty close to a cheapy gas powered
one.
