I bought this trimmer about 8 months ago when it was $39. It's very powerful and the original string it comes with is worthless. I bought some aftermarket string that was thicker (check instructions for maximum thickness) and have not had any problems.

If you don't mind the power cord, I highly recommend this trimmer. To me, the biggest plus of corded is never having to worry about not being able to mow the entire lawn. Cable management is paramount, however. My yard isn't huge at 12,000 sq ft lot, so a 100-ft extension cord and 2 outlets (one for the front, one for the back) is all it takes.

I've had some of those battery powered 11"-12" trimmer before and would never go back.

I just bought one from Walmart, 5amp Green Work for $35, this is more power, bigger range, and less money.

More power is better, right? I heard my friend say the string is too easy to break for power like this, anyone can confirm that?

1200 watts for a string trimmer is absolutely excessive. It's the attachments where it would come in handy, but even a 620w trimmer is still overkill if it's a decent motor.

This is a straight shaft trimmer and can take attachments. Very powerful and works really well as a brush cutter. No brainer at this price. Even with 2 50ft extension cords, this comes out cheaper than gas.

I once lived in a townhouse with a 18' x 25' back yard and I 'mowed' the entire yard with a trimmer similar to this.

Really tempted to pick one up so I don't have to switch between edger and tiller attachments. Biggest drawback would be where to store them setup. FML, 1st world problems.

Anyone have a recommendation on cheap heavy brush trimmer attachment that would work with this?

I have one of these. It's excellent. Make sure you have a bigger battery though.
