Tools and Hardware Reviews of American Gardener YS24 YardStick 10-Inch 24-Volt Cordless String Trimmer
Customer Review: yardstick
Summary: 5 Stars
I have more than an acre to deal with, so we have a variety of yard implements. My husband deals with a weed-eater that requires this mixture of gas and oil that is more than I want to handle, and the darn thing is so heavy that I can't manage it. On the other hand, I have a much more rigid idea than he does about when I want the lawn right around the house trimmed up. A perpetual conflict until he found this handy little weed eater. It doesn't have the power to get those wild blackberries in line, but with one charge, I can get the more civilized part of my yard looking tended to. It is very easy to handle, and comfortable to work with. I would recommend it.Customer Review: Great trimmer
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading a number of reviews on cordless trimmers, I chose the American Gardener YS24 Yardstick. I've used it for over a month now, and I'm very satisfied with its performance. The charge lasts approximately 45 min. which is usually sufficient for a half-acre yard. The only drawback I've have found is the weight of the trimmer. My arm gets really tired after trimming for 45 min. I understand the size battery is going to make it heavy, so I can live with the trade-off. I love not having to mess with a cord or the problems with gas-powered trimmers. (It would be nice if the replacement string could be found locally.)Customer Review: A Nice Alternative Trimmer
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this trimmer about 1 month ago and I am impressed. Although it is a tad bit heavier than I would like, it certainly works quite awhile before running out of juice, like some of it's competitors. Plus, it gets though heavier stuff than I would have imagined. The string feed works great! The wall bracket/charger is nice.
I have had a couple wired trimmers and gas trimmers over the years. I believe this is my favorite. I do wish it had a strap, but thats not a major issue.
It is so nice to trim without smelling like 2-cycle oil or having to drag out drop cords. Great value here.
Customer Review: Good Product With Excellent Product Support
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this about a year ago. It has a lot of power for a battery powered trimmer. It is a bit heavy because it has a lot of battery power. And the line advance is a little balky like every other string trimmer I have used. But it works really well with plenty of power. After about a year of satisfactory use, I had a problem with the trimmer charging. I contacted the manufacturer by email. They quickly replaced the charger. When that didn't solve the problem, they sent me an entire new unit. Now that's great product support! I would highly recommend this product and the company that stands behind it.Customer Review: Simply the best string trimmer available.
Summary: 5 Stars
I was skeptical when I purchased this cordless unit but I had it with gas and have too much yard for an extension cord. This is the best string trimmer I have ever used period (gas or electric)! I have a 3/4 acre lot and it worked well in edge and trim mode. The string is .080" and seems to be high grade. There is a lot I love about this product: dual switch, flip over design for edging, edge wheel, balance & weight, and charger/charge rack, customer service, etc. - all are excellent. The only question I have is how come this product is so hard to find and not sold everywhere (at least not yet).
