Tools and Hardware Reviews of Troy-Bilt TB20CS 17-Inch 31cc 2-Cycle Gas-Powered Curved Shaft String Trimmer with Detachable Shaft
Customer Review: I want my cordless back.
Summary: 1 Stars
I've been using a Black & Decker cordless trimmer/edger. It was quiet, light-weight and easy to maneuver between my flower beds and lawn. It had a handy guide for edging along pavement. My only complaint was its so-so power. The battery would sometimes run out before I was done, but that was usually at the beginning of the season when the trim areas were particularly overgrown. After many faithful years, the Black & Decker died.
So I thought I'd try the Troy-Bilt. It's louder than a German biplane. It's much heavier than a cordless and feels even heavier for each minute of use. It's impossible to maneuver between my flower beds and lawn. And, you have to buy the separate edger attachment if you want a pavement guide. I used my new Troy-Bilt twice. Then I ordered a new cordless.
Customer Review: I LOVE IT!
Summary: 5 Stars
After two weeks of reading reviews, talking to friends, checking consumer reports, and comparing many different units, I finally decided on the Troy-bilt TB20CS. I bought it from Lowes for $98.99. When I got home, I put it together. Took about 10 minutes. I put gas into it and read the fairly easy starting instructions. It started right up. I took it behind the fence in my back yard and started chopping away. It works like a dream. Ten times better on the 3 foot high weeds, than my old electric trimmer. It's a little heavier than my electric, but not too bad. Great power, good balance. It's so well balanced, that sometimes I let go with my left hand and just held it with one hand. I told my wife I should have bought one of these ten years ago. All I can say is "I love it!"Customer Review: Used Once, Everything went smooth, Like attachment capabilities
Summary: 4 Stars
Its my first of the new Modular type Trimmers and it was easy to assemble and start. I also bought the Poulan Edger attachment as per the reviews and it also works well and is easy to assemble.
I didn't realize that Lowes sells this trimmer for less until the day I went to get oil to mix with the fuel. ALso once i opened the box it already came with oil to mix with the fuel that would be enough for at least most if not all of a season for a home owner.
You will notice that the trimmer is adequately powered even for the first time edging. Only slowing down at the worst spots, but it got through everything i showed it. I did have a back ache from all the bending over while edging but what are you going to do? Otherwise the thing is designed smartly.
Customer Review: Problems with fuel line
Summary: 1 Stars
We have had the Troy Bilt TB20CS for about a yr and a half. Up until recently it worked well - started easily, was easy to maintain, light, and easy to use. Recently though, the fuel line and filter that reside in the gas tank, disintegrated. I have taken it apart and now will see how costly the parts are, and how difficult they will be to install. I am not satisfied because I bought Troy Bilt thinking this product would last a long time with minimal repairs. Dependent on the cost of the repairs, I may just chuck this weed eater and get a husqvarna or other quality brand. Substandard parts do not result in brand loyalty. Buy another brand.Customer Review: Good Trimmer
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this trimmer for about a 18 mos. now and have just purchased the edger attachment. I did so thinking that maybe the trimmer might die on me after a year. Because of the reliability I decided to plunk down the $70 dollars for the edger attachment and am even twice as pleased! My El Toro lawn had about 5 years of edge growth. The trimmer had sort of a tough time initially but that was understandable. The lawn looks great now and I'd recommend this trimmer to anyone looking for value and convenience. I'd definitely purchase again!
