The consensus
What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, the Black+Decker BESTE620 is positioned as the slightly more refined sibling to the BESTA510. Consumer Reports has it logged with a straight-shaft, 5-pound, 14-inch cutting-head spec sheet, which establishes the basic technical profile. Verified-purchase reviewers at Home Depot and Lowe's emphasize the push-button EasyFeed line advance — meaningfully different from the bump-feed and auto-feed mechanisms that draw complaints elsewhere in the Black+Decker corded line.
What reviewers liked
- Listed in Consumer Reports' string-trimmer database with documented specs (5 lb, 14-inch head, 0.065-inch line)
- Push-button EasyFeed line advance is cited by retailer reviewers as more reliable than bump or auto-feed alternatives
- Home Depot and Lowe's verified-purchase reviewers consistently praise edging performance
- Lightweight straight-shaft design rated easy to handle for extended sessions
Where it falls short
- Review volume is much lower than the BESTA510, narrowing the consensus base
- Still corded — extension-cord management is the same constraint as every pick here
- Push-button feed mechanism can still jam if the line is wound improperly, per scattered retailer feedback
- Single-line head limits performance in heavier weeds compared with dual-line gas trimmers
Across the reviewers we read, the Black+Decker BESTE620 is positioned as the slightly more refined sibling to the BESTA510. Consumer Reports has it logged with a straight-shaft, 5-pound, 14-inch cutting-head spec sheet, which establishes the basic technical profile. Verified-purchase reviewers at Home Depot and Lowe's emphasize the push-button EasyFeed line advance — meaningfully different from the bump-feed and auto-feed mechanisms that draw complaints elsewhere in the Black+Decker corded line.
Reviewer sentiment focuses on edging in particular: multiple Home Depot buyers describe the edging mode as cleaner and easier to control than what they had previously. The 6.5-amp motor and PowerDrive transmission show up in retailer descriptions as adequate for residential trimming, and there's no notable thread of motor-power complaints in the data we read.
The honest caveat is that this model has a fraction of the review volume of the BESTA510, so the consensus base is narrower. Where the two converge — light weight, capable on residential grass, corded-tether limitations — the BESTE620's push-button feed is the differentiator most reviewers single out.

Black and Decker electric trimmer ... Bought a B&D electric trimmer model BESTA510. All going well with it but it didn't come with mower decker.
