I can't say I love it. I have not even noticed it since I got it. I
guess that is the best kind.
A few years ago I bought a set of B&W battery powered garden tools.
That string trimmer is still going strong and it still has the original
load. It is some sort of auto feed, so I don't need to do anything. From
time to time I notice that is seems to be a little short and just as I am
thinking that I hear it change as new line come out.
