The consensus
What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, the BLACK+DECKER BESTE620 stands out as the corded model with the most credible independent documentation: Consumer Reports lists it with a straight shaft, a 5-pound weight, and a 0.065-inch line on a 14-inch head. That measured profile, plus a 4.4-star average across roughly 1,100 verified-purchase ratings, makes it a well-rounded straight-shaft option for trimming and light edging. The 6.5-amp motor and push-button EASYFEED line system are the headline features reviewers mention.
What reviewers liked
- Independently profiled by Consumer Reports with documented weight and line specs
- Light 5-pound straight-shaft design praised for comfort
- 6.5-amp motor handles routine trimming and edging without battery worries
Where it falls short
- High-trust r/landscaping thread reports the automatic feed dispensing too much line
- Consumer Reports lists it as pros-and-cons rather than a standout, signaling middling overall performance
- Corded operation restricts range and requires managing an extension cord

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.
First time using this trimmer and it keeps feeding too much line. It's an automatic feed not a bump. What's going on?
