BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX Cordless String Trimmer & Edger with Sweeper Combo Kit - Lightweight Lawn Care Tools with Safety Eyewear (LCC221 & BD250-1C) - Perfect for Yard Maintenance, Grass Trimming, and Edge Cleaning

Not as powerful as my husband would like!I'm in my mid 70's with arthritis. I bought the combo weed whacker and left blower.I've used both tools and couldn't be happier. The weed whacker chops down all but the largest weeds, the kind with 1" stalks. The leaf blower is perfect for the patio and garage, so lightweight! have a fairly large yard with a hill.I also want to thank all the reviewers who offered tips about running the whacker continuously to avoid wasting line, etc. I did the hill (front and back) a large side yard, side front yard and still have plenty of line left. I had an embarrassing amount of weeds, the rattlesnakes will have to find a different hiding place.I'm going to order a another battery and more line. In just a few hours my yard/hill already looks better.Works well and much easier to use that dragging 100 foot of cable. Wish I'd bought one earlier.these are very good. the work great.Hey Everyone, this little lawn care tool package is a great deal if you consider the following:Packaging:The weed whacker and blower were packaged in a Black & Decker box, that one would expect to see in a big box or home improvement store. Inside the box both tools were secured and packed in place with plenty of cardboard inserts to hold them securely in place for shipment. This box was packed into a larger Amazon shipping box and secured with packing filler, so the box would be held in place and secured a bit more during shipping. So, this package was packed well and shipping was very fast, if memory serves, this package arrived early by one day!Product:Since I don't have a large lawn(takes approximately 2 hours for front and back with bagging of grass and weed whacking and blowing) this lawn combo kits serves my purpose well. I was very surprised by the strength of the blower, it performed well and was light weight, for me. I was used to a much heavier, more powerful blower. In my opinion, this package is nowhere near suitable for commercial usage, because of battery life and lack of power. However, small to medium lawn care would be ideal for this combo. I especially like the light weight of the blower, with battery attached to unit, I was able to sweep blower from side to side effortlessly, which may come in handy for someone who is in need of such lightweight equipment. The weed whacker, I also found to be lightweight with the battery attached, was very surprising to me in it's functionality. While I only use this weed whacker to trim grass and weeds, not as an edger, I was happy with its' performance. The shaft is expandable to allow it to be set for the users' height. This was a nice feature for me, since I'm 6'2" tall and I found it to be very easy to use. This unit is self feeding, so no more bumping on the ground to feed the line, which was appealing to me. I did read the directions prior to use, so I found out that it is advisable to protect the head, the part that spins and trims the weeds, and prevent it from contacting the ground. With this in mind, using the trimmer I was able to accomplish my yard work with no problems.The cons of this combo kit/package:This kit worked well for me, but that is because my lawn is pretty well maintained to begin with. If there are large stalk weeds or dense overgrowth of grass, it is more than likely that both of these units will struggle if not be unable to cut or blow heavy matted clumps of grass. I found that the only disadvantage of this kit was the battery life. It gave me approximately 20 to 30 mins of peak usage before I discovered the equipment begin to ramp down in power. I was able to use both pieces of equipment, and noticed the decrease in power of both units as battery life began to trickle away. So I decided to charge the battery while I cut my lawn. I began the charging process while I was able to cut both front and back yards and the battery was still indicating that it was charging. This is a good indication that it will take a substantial amount of time to achieve a full charge before using again. So, in other words, I will be contemplating purchase of ATLEAST one more battery but more likely 2 more batteries so I will have more freedom of use with these tools.We like the weed eater but the leaf blower doesn't blow very well.It worked very well. I wish the battery lasted longer though.I had to recharge my battery twice so that I could weed eat around my house, shop and fence. Doesn’t knock down more over grown weeds either. But if you don’t have weeds this may work for you.un artículo muy práctico para la movilidad la batería te dura alrededor de unos 60m2 en tiempo como 30 a 40 min, el tiempo de carga de la batería es de unas 4 hrs, es un poco incomoda porque el mango solo está pensado para una sola postura y cuando quieres bordear es incómodo al girarlo, por otro lado el hilo se va rápido entonces hay que estar sacando constantemente y se vuelve algo tedioso, algo que no me termino de convencer fueron los materiales con los que están hechos no son muy buenos, se se siente corriente al tacto, el regulador de distancian del bastón en alguno momento siento que se va a terminar por desgastar si quieres algo para toda la vida creo que este artículo no es el indicado, es bueno para pequeña areas no más 25 m2 la sopladora no le veo usabilidad.La sopladora pues es una herramienta que caso de que te quede pila la podrás medio usar para arrinconar el pasto pero para efectos prácticos y ocupa más la pala y el rastrillo o escoba y recogedor por lo tanto es una herramienta que no ocupó tanto hasta el día de hoyCreo que está bien para una persona que quiere darle mantenimiento a su jardín, pero este cuenta con una área de pasto mediano, en cuanto a costo beneficio por lo menos en mexico en un año y cortando cada 3 semanas el pasto, la desbrosadora se termina pagando, esto depende mucho de tu región. Espero les guste esta pequeña reseña saludos
