BLACK+DECKER GL9035-GB Corded Electric Strimmer Grass Trimmer 900 W 35 cm with Wheel Edge Guide and Adjustable Second Handle for heavy duty weed cutting, 7000 RPM, 3.2 Kg+ 1 year manufacturer warranty

This is my second corded (b+d ) strimmer. This one is more user friendly than previous model( which had the motor at cutter end inducing higher fatigue). In this new model motor in switch side and not over hung. New model has long cord. My apprehension was on bend shaft which is inefficient and may generate more heat. ( New model 700 W compared to older model of 600 W). It is so, but not a great disadvantage. One can take a break which is beneficial for man and m/c. This model has one side line( 2mm) for normal use , but for thick bush, 2 sided one more set is given. I haven't understood the design philosophy of single line cutting which induces more vibration. M/c supplied line ( 2mm) was limited in length and later I used available 1.6 mm line. It did not work properly, the spool unwounded. There is a strong reco from b+d to use 2mm line only. Quite unfortunately, both design use a reduction gear which is non metallic. That will be the item first to damage and life get limited. I don't know why b+d cannot improve on it. The mc comes with square pin where as in India, we are having round socket. So , an interface adaptor needed or we have cut the cable and replace with round pin. Line auto feed is working, but I have not understood the principle behind it. This m/c is more rugged than previous version, still spool cap can get damaged,if it hit ground or stone. ( end of life)By and large my apprehension on bend shaft which delayed my purchase is not a concern. Those who are buying, pl stock consumables like line, spool etc. My previous model, I could not get spare parts as model is withdrawn.Users, pl use gum boot, gogles and cap and enjoy safe working.

Good machine, but users should wear proper protective gear. In the reviews section, I can see many old age people using it very casually, wearing shorts. I have had a piece of string broken and slipped from below the guard. It hit me and caused injury. Please wear proper high shoes, thick jeans, a full sleeve jacket and a helmet or big goggles to protect yourself. Also, noone else should come near the trimmer, not about 10 meters near. It is powerful, and should be used responsibly. I hope this review helps and saves someone from getting injured.

The media could not be loaded. This is a excellent product with a very powerful Motor, I used it to cut thick grass almost 6 to 8 inch in height along with weeds ( unwanted plants that have thick steam). The machine's weight is balanced so one does not need to bend forward or backward. I used this for almost 2-3 hrs with breaks and it works fine. After use my back did pain a bit so I used a duppata to tie it around by shoulder and the machine like a sling.

The media could not be loaded. Excellent, received well assembled.Only issue is three pin electric top is not of common Indian fixation but of american or eroupian style.

Hopeless Black & Decker machine.. did not work for more than 15 minutes. I purchased it in July 2024 and with 1 month, it broke down and took it to Co service centre at Bangalore and the same was repaired. Everytime I use this machine it stops working in 15 minutes and now this is the 3rd time i have taken for repair. Now the service centre person says it will cost more than a new machine to repair this 6 months old machine!!!!!! Very poor quality Product. B&D should not be selling these poor quality machines. I bought this Black & Decker machine thinking that the brand name will have some basic quality but disappointed.

Got today thank you amazon for the timely supply...Excellent product... Work very fine value for moneyBlack and decker always keep the qualityAlways go for amazon excellent sery

Product is good but it is hard to get replacement string which makes this product useless after cutting string gets over. make sure thr is availability of strings. I tried 2 mm string from Amazon but did not work

Got it today and tested it out for an hour. The weed eater or brush cutter whatever you call it is best suited for 2mm lines, twisted is better but if you don't have it go with 2mm round line. The spool mechanism is nice and updated and I don't see it giving out too much line as others have mentioned. The chord is also around 7 to 8 meters albeit non detachable but UK plug, this is actually a plus as it comes with a fuse built in.In terms of power it is like a 25cc honda one and no where near as powerful as say a 35cc 4 stroke or 50cc 2 stroke. But that's okay, it's designed with a purpose and does not have capabilities to attach blades. While you can fit 3mm line, I would not recommend it as it puts unnecessary load and even my older 52cc one never spun it perfectly.The single line spool does create vibration but is easily manageable. For best use case, owing to the trimmer spinning clockwise, always try and cut from left to right instead of right to left. The edging functionality with the wheel is also great.The old 50cc one I had, or more so petrol ones in general have a lot of maintenance and I spent more time fixing then cutting, this one is better than battery operated ones as run time is virtually infinite, sound is low and if your house is solar powered, practically green. Lastly, while it takes getting used to, the 3.5kg weight is a godsend.Time will tell how it holds up but I'm deducting a star as parts for it are expensive and harder to get and it seems B&D designed it as such so you keep buying new ones.
