Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
This Black & Decker GLC2500 Cless Reflex strimmer trims lawn edges and cuts grass in awkward places. No matter how far away you are from the mains supply, this cordless strimmer will do the job. It has a 30 cm cutting swathe and reflex intelligent cutting system that knows when to feed out more line. Gear driven, its powerful motor gives increased torque for greater efficiency and a quicker cut. You can cut around trees, garden furniture and underneath shrubs quickly and easily. A secondary handle is adjustable to the height of the user, making it supremely comfortable to use and its nylon cutting wire is very safe.
In addition, it has a safety brake which will stop line rotation in under three seconds and a safety switch which prevents accidental starting as two triggers must be pressed together before the strimmer can be started. The 18 volt battery pack can be charged on the wall bracket or away from the unit and the trimming head can be twisted to convert it to the Trim n Edge function for tidying lawn edges after mowing.

An excellent product. Light and efficient and so easy to take anywhere. Particularly impressed with the way the line just keeps self feeding without having to keep fiddling about to let out more or to find the broken end inside the spool like many of the earlier strimmers - and no cable to have to hump around and then rewind.
Essentially a tool for the average domestic garden but it will cut down green weeds and smaller nettles without too much trouble. Don't expect it to cope with brambles or woody undergrowth however. The battery life seems fine for a good 30 minutes or so. If you get the hedgetrimmer as well the batteries are interchangeable so you can double your working time. Spools are available at a discount from a number of sources [...] but they don't seem to have caught up yet and are still only advertised for the GLC2000 but are exactly the same (to make sure I got my first replacement from the B&D Spares Centre). A purchase you won't regret!

This model strimmer is pretty good. I have given it a lower star rating because of the line that it gobbles up. Perhaps I'm using it wrongly but I have quite a problem with it snapping the line and self feeding. Therefore the line has been used within a few weeks. Putting that aside it is great. The battery lasts for the whole of my garden which is roughly the size of a tennis court. Charging does not take long. It's lighweight and robust. I would not go back to electric cable dragging around the garden.

Having read all of the reviews I decided to go ahead and purchase the strimmer. Delivery was within48 hours. Assembly was straight forward, although the wording is very limited and a bit of trial and error is required to fit the guard. Once fitted it seemed very secure. I charged the battery overnight and used the strimmer to both strim and edge my lawns. It performed superbly. I ran the strimmer to battery exhaustion as recommended and recharged again overnight. I didn't use the strimmer again for four days. On the second usage I edged and strimmed both lawns and longer grass in my orchard around the soft fruit cages - the battery performed without notieable loss of power due to draining of charge - and ran the battery again to exhaustion. On both usages the line didn't tangle or fail to pay out. So far I am extremely pleased with the product and would recommend it fully.
As far as I can tell rapid usage of the plastic strim line may be due to the users causing the line to impact with stones, brickwork or similar. Grass is a very abrasive material and one should expect the line to be used. By following the manufacturer's recommended charge/use cycles I'm sure that the battery pack will perform to the manufacturer's declaration - 20 minutes of full power. 100% charge is not achieved until five cycles of use to full discharge have been undertaken. Follow the manufacturer's suggested procedures and problem free usage may well achieved. I look forward to using it regularly without having to uncoil and recoil many metres of cable.
