Toro Electric trimmer, If it would just stay home

by SurgRN911 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 09 '01
Pros: Inexpensive, easy assembly, good warranty
Cons: Less power than some other trimmers
Before I purchased this item I made darn sure it had no legs.
Every piece of lawn and garden equipment I have ever owned has miraculously managed to turn up at my sons home. Now he states he has no idea how said items got there, so I was left...

We have the slam on the ground and throw across the yard model.

by xyzwyatt Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Aug 01 '05
Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: Auto feed doesn't work well, piece of junk
We purchased the 12 inch Electric Trimmer model 51355 last year to take care of the weeds that grew along the fence and the house. We chose the Toro brand because we had a Toro lawn more so it matched our lawn mower and was a brand that we trusted. The ...

Toro electric Trimmer - Does the job, but was no match for Weedzilla

by jkafer Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Apr 22 '06
Pros: versatile, great at edging and everyday weed trimming, easy to reload, inexpensive
Cons: not powerful enough for heavy-duty de-weeding
Weeds come in all shapes and sizes. And when our house was first built, we have weeds that were actually trees. Little trees with tough stems. I've been using the Toro Electric Trimmer for years now and I've always had success with normal grass and ...

Whimpy Trimmer?

by pweisenberg Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jan 11 '00
Pros: light weight, cordless
Cons: short trimming cord, not very powerful
I bought the Toro cordless 7-inch trimmer two years ago when I was living in a house that only had ¼ acre of land. I wanted a trimmer that I didn’t have to fill up with gas or drag around with an electric cord, to get tangled up on obstacles in my yard....

We've Put This Trimmer To A Lot Of Use!

by mar6732 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jan 29 '00
Pros: Easy To Use, Rechargeable
Cons: None yet
We bought a Toro Trimmer about 1 1/2 years ago, shortly after we purchased our home. This trimmer has done a wonderful job trimming along the sidewalks, and around our garden & deck.

Our Toro Trimmer is actually rechargeable where you plug...

DANGER: Many Trim More Than Your Weeds

by 3rdalarm , May 28 '00
Pros: Any pros are far outweighed by the con
Cons: Serious safety problem with motor trigger
I bought the Toro 9" electric trimmer (Model 51241) during a spring sale at Target. At $29.99, it looked like a nice, lightweight, convenient trimmer for our home. Our house sits on a .25 acre, so we really have no need of a more powerful gas...

Have A Totally Terrific Time Trimming!

by mkuehn , May 21 '01
Pros: Fast, efficient, quiet, lightweight.
Cons: You'll run out of grass to trim before you're ready to stop trimming!
My Dad has a gas trimmer, but it's noisy, burns a lot of oil and gas, and he always seems to be fixing on it. For my yard, I wanted a good-sized, reliable electric trimmer, and I've found it in the Toro 12" Electric Trimmer.

I've got mostly...

Underpowered and Underfeatured

by klgarner , Feb 02 '00
Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: Line feed problems, dealing with long extension cords
I recently bought an inexpensive electric Toro trimmer, replacing an older Ryobi model that had bit the dust. This particular model is a combination trimmer/edger and is pretty basic. In fact, it's a little *too* basic.
My previous edger had two...

Toro....raises only a few red flags

by dagwood35 , Jun 28 '00
Pros: Cost, ease of use, little assembly
Cons: Soft cutting line
Why did I buy a Toro electric trimmer....because I got it cheap.

It was that simple. I was trying to find a cheap product at a home improvement website that was offering $10 off the first order with free shipping and handling on any order...

Toro 51556 7" cordless

by NZ9E , Mar 03 '00
Pros: Quiet, easy-to-use, convenient
Cons: The shaft should be adjustable in length
For several years I'd used a gasoline-powered "flying string" type of edger/trimmer. It was a big improvement over the corded electric edger I'd previously used, but all gasoline-powered string-trimmers are noisy, smelly and usually heavy and...

DON'T BUMP YOUR DRIVEWAY

by BIGGROG , Aug 01 '02
Pros: cheap price,lightweight
Cons: light power,jamming bump n' feed
After 24 yrs of the manual feed B&D (finally bit the dust) I needed a new wacker. Well I thought a Toro was a good brand to go with (had their mower for 24 yrs with 2 oil changes and one spark plug).
So off I went to the usual places to check out...

Toro 8" electric trimmer doesn't cut it

by kurt_h Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, May 14 '01
Pros: Light weight
Cons: Can't handle tough grass
Originally I purchased the Toro 8" electric trimmer for doing light duty lawn mowing. Since I live in a townhouse with a postage stamp for a lawn I thought that this would be enough. Silly me! The concept of using a whirling nylon cord to trim light...

7" cordless trimmer does the job

by willie55 , Aug 22 '01
Pros: Light weight, small easy to store
Cons: small line
I bought this trimmer on some of the recommendations that I read here on this board. I am real glad that I bought it. I paid $49 for it and have used it 5 times so far this year.

What it is:

It has a real quality battery. It is...

Whack It !!!

by star-child , Sep 07 '00
Pros: Cheap
Cons: Electric Cord
This little weed eater is the one. IF you don't have allot of cash for one of those gas powered weed eaters this the Toro is the one to get. First it's extremely simple. There it only one button inside the handle that makes it chew up the weeds.

Only if you can get it cheap...

by jauhiainen , Jul 11 '01
Pros: Cheap, bump line feed mechanism works well
Cons: Touchy trigger, quality and durability questionable
I bought the 13" Toro electric trimmer on sale for $25. At that price I would consider it a good buy, but at regular price, there are better trimmers for the same money.

After a month of use, the trimmer lost a considerable amount of...
