I had a Troybuilt rechargeable. The battery would not take a charge soon
after the warranty ran out. I would not buy another Troybuilt. We moved to
an acre and have a gas trimmer now.

I only need to trim a small property and have burned up a couple
electric units over time. I would never own another one. I picked up a
gas unit maybe 4 or 5 years ago and mix a fresh gallon jug of gas for it
each year with quality oil and haven't had a problem yet. The gas unit
is also a lot more powerful and the work goes even faster because of that.

I'm seeing a trend in these responses: gas

Weedeater, gas powered, paid $65. Running since 1992. Rechargeable
models are just too weak and who wants to play with a cord?

I have to agree. I have a Weedeater model, my neighbour has an older
Weedeater model than mine (much older) and they both work beautifully. I
have the model with the swivel head that makes trimming edges very easy. I
wouldn't do without that.
