I've had a B&D 30cm GL580 340w strimmer for about 10 years; it's still going strong and doing a good job. It's a mains type and I guess I only use it about half a dozen times a year because of the inconvenience of digging the extension lead out. Provided it's man enough for the job, a battery one would certainly be convenient.
Mine is a 'single-line' model; I read a report about a twin-line type where the owner complained about the quantity of line used. I rewound my spool yesterday, an operation which is only needed every 3 or 4 years.
