 I do not recommend this model May 26, 2008
By Psychiatrist
"X"
In general I prefer electric trimmers to gas ones. I don't mind the cord, and they are cleaner and quieter than other styles. I'm looking for a new trimmer - different brand. I used a Weed-Eater brand trimmer for years, and was very happy with it. After losing that one, I bought this one... mistake...
I have used this one for about a year - moderate use in a small suburban Texas yard. It worked well with the original spool. I have fought with the spool & string repeatedly since then. When it is time for a change, the entire mechanism gets stuck together to the point of being unworkable -- will not budge. Screwwdrivers and channel-locks only scrape up the spool worse. The long plastic bar broke in half yesterday when I tapped it on the ground to let out some more line - really cheap construction. Will never buy Toro again.

Want to waste 20 to 30 minutes per lawn cut? Then buy Toro! Aug 07, 2010
By TonyI
It's incredible the amount of time I waste manually feeding out the string on this trimmer because the spool becomes essentially frozen. Factor in 20 to 30 minutes per lawn cut wasted just manually feeding out the string. Then there is the string guide, which is a separate item from the spool head and so falls out. Mine is lost. That makes the spool even more disfunctional. Toro should be ashamed to put this product on the market.

spool is frozen Jul 25, 2010
By LMG
It's simple enough for a string trimmer - until you have to get the spool out. Then just throw it in the garbage and buy a new one, because the whole mechanism is frozen. I've only used it three times. Buy another brand, you might have better luck.
 Toro is the best trimmer for me. May 20, 2012
By cherie s. cook
I burn through one of these every two or three years. I do have a bit of trouble with the string refusing to release, but this is the lightest weight and easiest trimmer I have tried and I hate to be with out it. I go through three acres of land with it and it is the only trimmer I can use that does not ruin my back or simply wear me out.
I have used four other brands and none of them work for me. So if you are a woman who can't stand the weight of the gasoline or a battery added to the heft of a trimmer I suggest you try this one. I like it so much I have a new one in the barn just waiting in case I need it. Cherie Cook

Toro 51347 3.5 Amp 11-Inch Electric String Trimmer Nov 25, 2011
By Walter D. Samans
This product is becoming hard to find in local stores. My wife does the trimming and she find this product to be the ideal weight and uses it as "the model" when looking for replacements. We have owned 5 thus far and even gave one to my daughter. Excellent service, delivery time, and overall product for our lawn.
