battery power not long enough
8/23/2012
Pros
Cons
Battery too expensive
One string not enough
Power lasted 10 minutes
Best Uses
Comment:
After charging battery all night it only lasted for 10 minutes. At that rate you have to keep charging the other battery and wait in between to get the job done. New battery costs half the price of the entire unit.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
