 OK - but not great May 15, 2007
By Sinclair Thompson
Bought this item for clipping beach grass , which gets thicker every year. Did an ok job , but felt like it was already getting dull after 20 mins of use. The grass shears for regular trimming around , shrubs worked great, but the power only lasted about 15 minutes before it died. I think there are probably better items for around the same money out there. If this had been 29.99, it would have been worth it , but I think it is overpriced for the power output and the quality of the product.

 Garden Railroad Lifesaver Jul 04, 2006
By Andrew C. Martin
I purchased this item specifically to clip a hybrid Bermuda grass developed for golf courses. It is installed on an outdoor model railroad. The grass must be clipped closely at least every other day. I had been doing it manually until I received the Power CS18. This tool has made this chore a breeze. Moreover, the grass clipper also does an excellent job on an Asian jasmine groundcover, even without the shrub attachment.

 No lasting power Apr 25, 2008
By Robert C. Peterson
We bought one of these several years ago, and it worked very well for about 3 years. The battery finally would not hold a charge, so we bought another one last fall. its battery will only hold a charge for about 5-8 minutes. I looked at the battery packs, and discovered that the old battery pack was a 2500 mAH(milli-amp hours) Ni-MH(nickel metal hydroxide (better) unit, and the new one is only 1800 mAH, Ni-Cd(not as good as Ni-MH) type. So they have cheapened the device, but not lowered the price. I will try and find a clippers similar to this one, but with an extention cord. Don't buy this thing, as it is a waste of time and money.

Excellent tool Jan 09, 2007
By Linda L. Ellis
"Linda"
This is an excellent tool for yard work. I have used it to trim my hedges, trim weeds, and it really works great! It is very powerful, the battery is also lasting before needing a recharge. Worth every cent!!

Unit Failed Jul 01, 2009
By Lauren Hillquist
Unit is just over two years old - by a couple of months. Is hardly used and probably has not seen 10-12 hours of service.
It failed. I call. You need a new charger I am told. Buy a charger and pay shipping.
Still does not work. You need a new battery I am told. I buy a new battery; they waive the shipping.
Still does not work - push button and nothing happens.
Call them again. Maybe the motor burnt out. I take the unit apart - pretty simple thing and I am kinda mechanical. Clean as a whistle inside. All connections solid and motor is clean copper.
I call them back. We can't do anything about it as it is out of warranty - even a day out and they would not do a thing.
Can send battery and charger back with re-stocking charge and me pay shipping. Hardly worth it.
Ask if they can at least meet me part way on new one. Can't do that.
I spent 32 years in corporate marketing and I clearly remember two things we emphasized. "Can't" usually means "won't". Yes, they can do it if they care to.
Secondly, the customer may not always be right, but he IS always the customer.
They could care less.
All I wanted was a little break on a new one to help cover the costs of what I bought based on their analysis.
Oh, when it worked; it worked great.
So I have to buy a new one from someone and sure need to find a better one.
