Black & Decker GH600 Grass Hog Review
Black & Decker GH600 Grass Hog 4 Star Rating: Cheapism Good Pick
Summary:
An electric, automatic feed weed eater with a 14-inch cutting swath, the Black & Decker GH600 must be plugged in and is best suited for small lots. . Consumers generally like the cheap weed eater, saying it's especially good at edging and easy to use; indeed, it comes with an edging guide, cord lock, and adjustable handle.

The Black & Decker GH600 is another good Black & Decker product, according to Black & Decker GH600 reviews. This cheap weed eater plugs in, so you have less freedom to roam than with battery-powered trimmers but don't fret about the battery dying before your work is done. Black & Decker GH600 reviews at Walmart assign high marks for the GH600's cutting and edging ability and power. Most users posting Black & Decker GH600 reviews indicate that it far exceeds their expectations: the Black & Decker GH600 delivers value -- a big job at a little price. Black & Decker GH600 reviews on Epinions also praise the quality, noting the light weight, durability, and comfort; users also say the automatic feed is a huge convenience.

As a brand known for producing high quality products, the Black & Decker GH600 doesn't disappoint. It's powered by a 4.8-amp motor and features a 14-inch cutting swath, a lock for the extension cord, an adjustable handle, and ergonomic grips. It weighs only 5.2 pounds and comes with a two-year warranty.

At a cost of less than $50, it's hard to beat the Black & Decker GH600. It edges and trims without fuss and is light enough for most any adult to manage. We like the total package and consider it a good choice for a cheap string trimmer if you don't mind a trailing cord.
