If you mainly need to trim edges of a lawn (and not tall grass or weeds), experts and owners top-rate the 7-pound, cordless Black & Decker NST2018. This trimmer runs quietly and can last about 25 minutes per charge; two batteries are included, extending runtime to about an hour. Owners say this model works well on maintained lawns, but it's not powerful or durable enough to handle tall grass or weeds. For that, you'll need a corded electric, gas or propane-powered string trimmer.

Reviewers give the Black & Decker Grass Hog NST2018 top ranking among cordless string trimmers, but recommend it only for trimming well-kept lawns. Its quiet performance and light 7-pound weight are big advantages, and it's easier and less expensive to use than a heavier gas trimmer. The main drawback lies with the nickel-cadmium (NiCad) batteries, which provide less power to the trimmer as their charge fades and have very limited run time even on a fresh charge. If you don't mind dealing with an extension cord, the Stihl FSE60 (*Est. $130) is much more powerful and can handle tall grass and weeds. It's also highly rated in reviews.

We found the best review of the Black & Decker NST2018 cordless string trimmer at ConsumerReports.org, where editors rate and rank it in comparison with 43 other models, though they include only two other cordless trimmers. For more detail and a longer-term perspective, owner reviews at several retailer sites prove useful.
