Black & Decker BEHTS300 SAWBLADE 120V 3.8 Amp Brushed 20 in. Corded Hedge Trimmer

This trimmer worked fairly well for the amount of time it worked before failure. The blades eventually quit working with motor spinning. Before spending cash on a new one decided to tear apart. Found Black & Decker decided to not reinforce the housing where the rive sprocket meets the housing and also where the drive motor seats into guide at the rear of the blade assembly. Operation creates enough heat to melt the housing in these two areas causing the drive gear to become sloppy and the end of the drive motor shaft will dislodge from the guide hole at the end of the blade. Obviously engineered to fail with any extended use. Almost bough another Black & Decker trimmer based upon online reviews, but glad I did not. More research is required to find a replacement since I can't find housing parts for this one.

Not a reliable product. The Motor gave out within a year of buying

I purchased this model to replace an older model. 16" Deluxe Trimmer. I nicked the blade on some metal decorative fencing while trimming some Azelia's. This model is an upgrade from my old one and works fantastic and so easy to assemble. Recommend to any homeowner who wants to get the job done.

I've been using this hedge trimmer for about 3 years now, I push it quite hard by cutting bougainvillea branches, sometimes thicker than recommended; hedges, vines, seagrape tree branches etc. Once you use it enough you get an idea of what it can handle and what it can't. I do agree with others that the sawblade is useless. This week I was using the trimmer and noticed it sounded slower and the blade wasn't moving as fast, in the past I would put some wd40 or 3 in 1 oil on the teeth to help clean up tree sap residue and some lubrication. This time I sprayed the WD40 and tilted the saw up, all of a sudden it came back to life full speed. My guess is the internal mechanism that moves the blade needed some help, I will probably take off the case and check it out. Not recommending for others to try it but it worked for me. :/

not good as others.may be good for small work

Used the 20" electric hedge trimmer for several days immediately after purchase. Cuts smoothly even through thick Virginia Creeper vines, but did not test on the full 3/4" rating. I purchased the 20" rather than a longer one for lighter weight and ease of handling for which it turned out to be superior. Love the thumb trigger on this one for safety; my older trimmer would start almost every time I touched it. Only complaint is the useless saw blade; in sweeping with a counterclockwise motion, twigs normally easy to cut get jammed on the inside space between the fixed blade guard and the last cutting tooth. The fixed blade guard should be sharpened on the trimmer side to enable the last cutting tooth to cut.

This is a very light hedge trimmer that is very easy to handle and has plenty of power. The 1.5” branches do take a while to cut but anything small cuts off easily.

I have used this trimmer a few times now. It’s so much better than my previous one. Good power. Nice branch cutting blade, but don’t rely on it for too much. I would recommend this.

I had a 17” trimmer that I bent the teeth on the metal trellis by accident, and decided to get the 20” with the saw end to cover more are and be able to cut small trees. I LOVE the new length and saw. Hightly recommend

Still going strong. Good price. Good warranty. Ergonomic handling.

I bought this about 30 days ago. It is lightweight and works awesome. Having the small sawblade at the end is great feature.

My wife loves the light weight she does all of the yard work because I’m disabled. It also cuts nicely and easy, and the saw at the end is great for the thicker branches.

With shrubs and bushes getting out of hand, it was time to upgrade from hand clippers. This was a good decision for both price and features. The power and ease of use were better than expected. The saw tip was a little bit of a challenge to get used and would not include that as a pitfall. Looking forward to a serviceable life.

I had a prior Black & Decker trimmer over 20 years in residential use and received this one as a Christmas gift which I'll start using this coming spring.

Perfect for small yard self maintenance by non-professional home gardener.

I bought a month ago haven't used it yet check back in spring winter now th as nks!!

I purchased this hedge trimmer for small hedges and trees. It is lightweight, easy to handle and reasonably priced. Black & Decker products have proven to be a quality tools. I recommend this product to anyone looking for a solid trimmer for small shrubs and trees.

I had had a B & D hedge trimmer previously, but it was not as powerful as I would have liked. Consequently, I ruined it. This one is much better suited to my needs.

This hedge trimmer handles the job effortlessly. The Sara feature is an extra benefit if you run into a thicker brunch that needs pruning or removal. Glad I purchased this item.

I BOUGHT IT 2 MTS AGO + - USED LAST WEEKEND TO TRIM BUSHED
