Tools and Hardware Reviews of American Gardener YS24 YardStick 10-Inch 24-Volt Cordless String Trimmer
Customer Review: Great trimmer...much better than gas
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently made the switch from a gas trimmer to this cordless trimmer and have been very pleased thus far. I have used it a few times and am very happy with my purchase. I have a townhouse, and am very pleased with the battery life and power output. I have actually done my lawn a couple times without charging it. I think this would even be ideal for tackling a single family house with a much bigger lawn than mine based on the endurance of this 24 volt battery. I don't think I'll ever go back to gas trimmers after using this. Dealing with the oil/gas mixture and trying to keep the thing running year after year is a real pain with gas trimmers. It's nice to be able to just hit the button and go! The ergonomics are great and it's easy to switch modes when you want to edge along the sidewalk. I would highly recommend this product to anyone.Customer Review: Best Trimmer I've Owned

I wanted to replace my gas powered trimmer and am thankful for the other people who reveiwed this product. They convinced me to buy it and it is everything I wanted. My gas powered unit cut a larger path, but this was a problem when trimming around my chain link fence. The string would constantly break regardless how I used the trimmer and the string advance would not function well. With the American Gardener unit, I have no problems whatsoever. The string advances flawlessly; there is enough power to cut everything that I want; there is enough power for about 1 hour of continuous duty; and it is quiet. My only wish is that the power unit could be worn as a back pack so that the trimmer would be much lighter. After an hour of trimming, my arms get tired. There may even be a positive side to this; I may develop bigger biceps.Customer Review: Best Trimmer I've Ever Used

I bought my 24-volt trimmer 2 1/2 years ago. It recently stopped working and I'm now ordering a new one. I still believe this is the best trimmer for me! I have no trouble with the weight and the balance is fine. It is so convenient to just lift it off the charging unit and go! North Florida has a long growing season so my trimmer gets hard use trimming a large lot bordered by woods. I once ordered a new blade-cutting unit after breaking mine. It was inexpensive and shipping super fast. The string used in this trimmer far outlasts any of the smaller guage lines I've used in other trimmers. Considering the comparatively low purchase price and ease of use, I feel I got my money's worth. No expensive gas to buy, no rope to pull, no electric line strung across the yard are some of the conveniences.Customer Review: GREAT ELECTRIC TRIMMER !!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
After trying a Black & Decker NST2018 Grass Hog 18V electric trimmer & being very let down (no power & very short battery life), I was not sure what to expect with this one. WOW, it really trims & cuts GREAT plus the battery last a long time. This trimmer is NOT a plastic piece of junk. It's very well made & has metal parts where they are needed. I have a 40 acre piece of what I think is almost heaven. But my heaven has rattle snakes & ticks from spring through summer. So I mow & trim a lot around my home & pathways where we walk. My old gas trimmer was loud & very heavy so I wanted to replace it with an electric trimmer. I'm sure glad that I gave this one a try! I've been trimming daily for almost a week now & no problems at all. Very happy with trimmer & the price.Customer Review: Bought 3 of them!

I like the power. I never had any luck with any Black & Decker battery
models--no horsepower.
I have a small yard--a tenth of an acre--and the battery lasts almost exactly
two years before it won't charge anymore. Then I take the battery out, take
it to Lowe's for recycling and buy a new model YardStick.
I don't know who made the decision to replace the reset button with a fuse
but I hope you enjoy whatever reward you received because you caused me pain.
My teenage son drags the unit on occasion, it overheats and I have to re-
place the fuse.
Overall, the unit does the job for me and I will continue to buy the
YardStick especially since my son is older and doesn't drag it as much.
