I had a wired. Note had.

I cut the cord on more that one occasion. No one to blame but myself.

I would go with battery power.

I can vouch for the B&D Hedgehog's wire cutting ability.

Me too. Mine still works pretty well but I might shoot it soon so I can go cordless.

I had one too and agree. It lasted 10 years of rough usage before sounding like a freight train and I bought a gas Echo. I would definately say the B+D is a great electric trimmer for under $50. But then the extension cords get expensive

I cut through 2 or 3 of them over the years. heheheeh Especially when the 100' extension cords in the lawn section are now green instead of bright orange or yellow!

I have a TORO cordless, 24 volt lithium battery. several years old. works much better than I expected.

I got a B&D 40volt model at Wally World and it works great. I was tired of dealing with the gas/oil issues (just never worked for me). I also ended up getting an 80 volt Kobalt weed eater and it is awesome. .105 Gator line and a 30 minute recharge, can't be beat.

But also 100% more likely to allow you to accidentally cut the extension cord.

(Ask me how I know... )

After years of dealing with a corded model, fighting with the extension cord while dragging it all over the yard (and even cutting it on one occasion), I recently went with a Black & Decker battery model. I used to dread trimming the hedges, but without the cord, it's much less of a hassle.

Yes, the old cord trick. Been there done that. I switched to a gasoline trimmer, never looked back. Same thing with any kind of saw or trimmer, gas all the way.

This^ I cut the cord more times than I want to admit. I bought the battery-powered EGO 56 volt 24" and have not looked back. I liked it so much I bought a weedeater and blower that use the same 56 volt battery. home Depot sells them. Check out those reviews (they're good).
