Tools and Hardware Reviews of American Gardener YS24 YardStick 10-Inch 24-Volt Cordless String Trimmer
Customer Review: Whats not to like?
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this trimmer for 3 years without any problems and have recommended to my neighbors who also are now using it. I've tried the gas (too loud & smelly)and Electric products (tired of buying extension cords)and have finally found a quality cordless product that handles my 1 acre yard. I actually use the edging feature more then the string trimmer - however its handy having both in 1 unit.
I did call customer service once because I thought the charger had gone out however the CS manager had me re-insert the charger more firmly in the plug and it that took care of my "problem". I want to spend as little time in my yard working as possible and this American Gardener trimmer helps me achieve that. I'm giving one to my son for Christmas.
Customer Review: Absolutely the best trimmer i ever had
Summary: 5 Stars
I reciently purchased this trimmer and put it thru its paces.It worked perfectly.Plenty of power. ive used it 5 times for a total of about 45 minutes and never had to charge it once.Beleive me it will hold its own against any corded trimmer.It has tremendous cutting speed.Its well balanced the line feed works perfectly.The biggest plus that blows away all other string trimmers is the fact you can rotate the entire assembly at the trigger end 180 degrees and it turns into a trimmer.The best part is when you rotate the assembly it brings up a duplicate set of on off switches.Not so in any other brand of trimmers.You have to stop and reach down and rotate the bottom half of other brand trimmers .Best designed trimmer i ever used.Customer Review: Powerful & Easy To Use
Summary: 5 Stars
After struggling with yet another 2-cycle gas trimmer that was difficult to start and keep running despite new spark plug, new gas, a complete carb overhaul, etc. I decided to go electric. I was worried mainly about getting something with sufficient power and run-time to handle my 1-acre yard.
The American Gardener Yardstick did not disappoint. The unit is very well built, has a smartly designed charger/storage hanger, plenty of power and run-time. This trimmer is every bit as effective as any gas trimmer I have owned without the noise and the complications of a gas engine. Its not light by any stretch but its no heavier than a gas unit.
Overall, excellent buy.
Customer Review: Stop breaking your back on the gas line-trimmers!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm officially out of the back-breaking knuckle-busting gas line trimmer scene. This cordless edger arrived fully assembled and charged (though they say to charge overnight) for a quick test run on my lawn. One of the negatives indicated in a previous review was the weight of the machine with battery and, admittedly, it was a bit hefty after a 15 minute trial, but this is because, while well balanced, it does have a 24 volt battery. But I believe this is more that offset by never having to negotiate a long cord around your yard or repeatedly busting your knuckles trying to start a cranky gas line-trimmer (not to mention much quieter). Consider this one a winner...Customer Review: Finally a weedeater I can use
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a small woman, and I just could not use those gas weedeaters. They were too bulky and heavy for me to pack and I had trouble pulling the cord to get them started. I'd heard bad things about the electric models, so I didn't even bother trying those.
Although this is not lightweight, it is not unmanageable for short periods of time. I do quite well with it actually.
You have to have a place to screw the charger into a wall and the trimmer hangs up nicely out of the way, while charging.
I just love it! The cost to replace the batteries are $25.00, if that issue ever comes up. I hope it lasts because I really needed a weedeater like this.
