 Design Flaw October 7, 2009

I, too, had the problem described by another reviewer. The doughnut hole where the line feeds through the spinner assembly breaks off. I tried to glue it back together but without success. No replacement part available. Had B&D model previously but that was real junk. They recalled that model but not until I junked it after four failures including seizing up. I only use trimmer around the edge of a small area once per week. Doesn't anyone know how to make an electric cord type unit?
 Spool/line Advance Dont Last July 19, 2009
memorymaker (NYC area)
Works great for a few minutes but after some advancing, the spool tends to lock up...which you might think would work better if you didnt screw the cap on so tight...but then the little eyelet that the line feeds thru can fly off (and you have to order that online and wait a week). Which I did. But, that doesnt solve the problem...neither does WD40. Last time I used this, it took an hour to trim my short walk because I had to manually advance the line every 8 feet of work. Please do not buy this machine. I wish I had spent 3x more money to get something that simply had more than a 30 minute life to it. Such a shame that I need to throw out a perfectly good engine/handle setup because the spooling mechanism is so poorly engineered/manufactured. I looked for aftermarket replacements but they dont seem to exist. I will not buy Toro again.
Not Really a Toro; Hope It Doesn't Break June 9, 2009
Lawrence W. Rand (Banning, CA)
My experience has been that Toro products are well made and dependable, but this trimmer turned out to be a flimsy Homelite trimmer in drag, according to my authorized Toro repair shop (they were having no luck getting replacement parts from Homelite). After a year, my trimmer needed a new part (the plastic cup around the cord with a guide hole in it); they wanted to charge me $38 for it, plus $25 labor! That's more than the trimmer costs and such a ripoff that I won't buy another Toro, period (needless to say, I passed on the repair).
 Toro Trimmer March 11, 2009

I've been very pleased with the Toro 15" Electric Trimmer. I have a fairly large street front as residential lots go and use the trimmer for edging more than anything else. Although I still need to do a deeper edging with other tools once in a while the Toro makes quick work of it otherwise.

Being a woman, I don't have the strength to start a gas-powered trimmer. Although I haven't used my trimmer very long, I found it lightweight a powerful and does the job. The price was right, too. I recommend it for women.
