Love the cordless B&D Grass Hog
I love this thing. I have an average size yard (8600 sq ft including my house) and I trim all around the foundation, all around my fenced backyard, both sides of the driveway, and the street curb every time I mow (well, almost every time).

However, even with my small yard, it took me exactly 2 weeeks to complete. A reviewer wondered why the manufacturer gave no indication of the length of time it takes to fully charge the battery. there's a reason for that dear reviewer, they are afraid no one will buy the product if u knew it takes about 18 hours for maximum charge, after which, u only get ten minutes of... more info
