I have an acre and a half with minimal trimming needs. (I've mulched
everything out so I can go in a cut right up to the mulch with my riding
mower.) I've used the smaller of the Craftsman rechargeables for 5 years
with no problems. Decent torque. Doesn't take sting above .090.
Up until this year I got about 25 minutes of continuous use before a
recharge was needed. Now I'm getting less than 10 and need to change the
battery. Takes most of a day to recharge too. I hope that they've
upgraded the battery and charging system since I bought it, with all the
new rechargeable technology that is out there.
I don't think I saved any money over a gas powered one assuming the
replacement batteries are still around $30. But I bought it for the
maintenance free nature. I need another Internal Combustion engine to
maintain like I need another hole in my head.
