Comment:
The Automatic Line Feed Advaces Very Little Line At A Time. You Have To Stop And Start, Stop & Start... Forever to Feed The Line. Or Stop, Turn The Unit Upside Down, And Hit The Manual Feed Button Over & Over Again To Get The Line To A Resonable Length. Then When You Go To Use It The Line Snaps Off. I Tried For 30 Minutes And Went About 20'. I Took It Back The Next Day. I Expected More From Weed Eater & CR.

Comment:
I bought this trimmer and after the first use I took it back to the store. I used almost half the spool of line just going around my fence and my yard is tiny. I spent most of the time getting more line out than trimming because the line kept breaking. It would break when it just hit the edge of my vinyl fence. What a waste of money!!!
