Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have a decent size yard, more than 1/3 acre, and a lot of things to trim around. I have owned this Troy bilt cordless trimmer for almost 6 years and it has worked flawlessly. I did have to replace the battery once but it is an off the shelf battery that I picked up at a battery store. Quick story, when the battery died, I went looking for a replacement trimmer but could not find the Troy bilt (Which I had bought at Lowes) and so bought a "WORX WG150 at Sears. I had figured that going to an 18 volt trimmer would be an improvement, but it was not. The Worx cordless trimmer just did not have the power that the Troy bilt had, and although I did like the automatic feed on the Worx trimmer it was just not powerful enough to get the job done. I strongly recommend the Troy-Bilt TB55 and am confident that most will find it to be an excellent replacement to their gas Trimmer.

REVIEW:The advantages of a cordless electric trimmer are obvious: it's quieter than gas (and smells better); there's no cord to trip over; you can take it anywhere without having to worry about whether there's a socket nearby. Before you take the plunge, however, you should consider the downsides. First, a 12-volt battery can only provide so much power-you wouldn't want to use this trimmer for clearing an overgrown lot. Second, batteries have to be recharged; if you expect to do more than a half-an-hour's trimming at a time, you may run out of juice before the job's done. In short, this is the trimmer to buy if you think you'll be doing light to medium trimming jobs that take no more than 45 minutes to complete.
If your job meets these criteria, Troy Bilt's TB55B is really a pleasure to use. The straight shaft makes it easy to reach under shrubs and bushes, and the adjustable D-handle lets you use the unit left- or right-handed with equal comfort. At 12 volts, this trimmer will handle all but the thickest, wettest grass. Like most trimmers, this one features a bump-head release for easy, quick line feed on the fly.
The trimmer comes with the 12-volt battery and charger included. Make sure to follow the instructions for recharging in order to get the maximum life out of your battery. Two-year limited warranty.--Josh Dettweiler

Anyone here familiar with Troy-bilt 4-cycle string trimmers? Looking at the TB685 EC model they sell at Lowe's. It won't see a lot of action.
