Scotts Outdoor Power Tools LST01540S 40-Volt 15-Inch Cordless String Trimmer, 2Ah Battery & Fast Charger Included

For years, I used a hand held gas powered blower to clean all the hard surfaces around the house after cutting the lawn or moving leaves, mulch, cleaning the gutters etc. It had a forceful yet relatively narrow stream of air that would blow the leaves and grass clippings with considerable force. So much so, that much of the debris would fly into the air requiring me to keep blowing the same areas repeatedly. It was also heavy, needed the usual maintenance that gas powered implements need. It could be difficult to start and its fumes stank especially in the first few minutes of operation.This Scott’s battery powered blower is better in every way. The air stream is not as powerful, but it moves much more air with reasonable, not overwhelming, force. Thus, the yard debris moves along with great efficiency. I do not need to blow the same areas repeatedly. It is also much lighter, no noise at all, virtually maintenance free, a cinch to start and no reek of 2 cycle engine fumes. It is excellent for the typical home owner in cleaning up after mowing the yard or moving leaves off hard surfaces. It is inexpensive, light, quiet, maintenance free, clean and extremely easy to use.My advice, even if your old blower, lawn mower, hedge trimmer etc. is marginally working, get rid of it and get a battery powered replacement. The days of the internal combustion engine are over. I will never again purchase any product powered by one.

Overall it is a good chain saw, I have a Stihl and a Husqvarna but getting too old to pull the cord, so I got this one, I like it but the battery life is poor. 4 cuts and I have to charge it. But the battery has a 2 year guarantee so I am not too worried.

I received and assembled the trimmer today. It appears to be well made and did not observe any short comings. After charging the battery fully I tried it out . I can say that at this time I am totally pleased with its performance and with its reasonable cost when compared to it's competitors. Prior to purchasing this trimmer I looked at the customer reviews in this ad. All 10 or so reviews were for a blower and not the trimmer. Seller indicated that they did not have control over this issue. Just checked the reviews and that has not changed. I gave 3 stars for battery life, there was not a choice for Unknown.

Followed directions for first time charging the batteries. They charged up and worked great. Used it to blow leaves off the house and to blow out a food plot. Then it never worked again. The battery would not charge at all.

Great value.The battery last 20 minutes, which is pretty amazing, but short in the fall leaf season. The higher capacity battery is expensive with no third party alternative, so consider alternatives or up you budget for batteries.

After many frustrations in trying to keep my gas leaf blower running and after many hours of research on battery blowers, I made the switch and went with this Scotts Blower. The price was too good to pass up. So far after 6 weeks of use I have no complaints. I have run the blower for 20-30 mins (not in the boost mode the entire time - but about 1/2 of the time) and never ran out of battery. The power is comparable to my former gas blower and has been sufficient in blowing leaves across the yard. My only concern is the battery. I could not easily find a replacement/spare battery for it, even on Scott's site. Hopefully the battery continues to hold its charge for a few years.

I don't know if it's a good saw or not. The original battery was defective as was the replacement. American Lawnmower, the seller, was fairly responsive and thier agents helpful. I may give them one more chance to send a functional battery. If so, I'll write a full review.

Works excellent, just don't expect to cut huge logs it's not made for that so don't be stupid and try to go beyond it's capabilities.
