Not sure
It was great until the gas pedal got stuck. Not sure how to fix it! It's a good product ours did well for a week. Wish it could of lasted longer! My youngest grandson almost reversed right into the river due to the gas pedal being stuck.

EasyFeedLinenotadvancing
Had trimmer for less than 1 year and the easy feed system will no longer feed line. I have to manually advance the line in order to have enough to use and then that doesn't last very long. Not realistic to manually feed the line

Good trimmer
I like this trimmer because you don't have to keep messing with the trimmer line.

This kids UTV is junk
Had this kids 6x6 UTV for 4 months with moderate use and will not work. The back raises as well raised a couple of times. It has a plastic piece that raises it and it snapped when it tried to raise. Absolute garbage!!

My little one is so happy with his car
So awesome how the car is made and the dump truck is great! The music is awesome and holds a battery charge for hours. Thank you for making a 7 year old boy so happy

It's awful and I'd like a refund
Really poorly made, the tires skid while my FIVE YEAR OLD drives it, and the gas pedal gets stuck on the "on" position, making it very scary for both me and my five-year-old.

Great Little Truck for Younger or Older Small Children
Super safe, and very good off-road. Perfect gift for a ranch toddler.

Broken trigger switch
Like others have reported, after 1.5 summers of extremely light use, the trigger switch does not start the blower. My previous B&D trimmer lasted 8 years.

Does not feed the string
This is the second one I have had. The first one overheated and I had to stop using it until it cooled down . I really liked the ease of use from weed trimming to edging, so I got another one through my Credit Union rewards. Now this one won't feed the string. It worked with the original string spool and hasn't worked since. Once I put the cover on the string mechanism, it stops feeding the string. If I loosen the cover I can get the string to click and pull out, but once I put the orange cover back on it stops feeding again. So disappointed.

Model LSTE StringTtrimmer
I purchased the Black and Decker (model - LSTE523) string trimmer earlier this year and have used it very little. The trimmer itself works well, but the automatic line easy feed mechanism no longer works. MY overall rating would be much higher, if the automatic line easy feed option worked correctly.
