I used it to trim my whole front yard; I wouldn't recommend it for this use, but it did an admirable job considering it's battery-powered and affordable.
I would recommend acquiring additional batteries if you plan to use the trimmer for more than edging your lawn; the battery, as noted above, has a limited life, and it takes most of a day to charge (probably 8-12 hrs in my experience). Fortunately, the trimmer is compatible with any other 20V Lithium batteries you might happen to have; I borrowed the battery from my electric drill and it worked perfectly, albeit with a shorter duration (but that's only to be expected from a years-old, plentifully-used battery like mine!). New batteries from B&D are a little expensive, in my opinion, but I imagine you could easily find them used for a good price, if you're so inclined, since most B&D battery-powered products use this type of battery.
The illustration in Amazon makes the trimmer look spindly, which it most assuredly is not. It is robustly constructed of sturdy materials In summary, a much deserved 5-star rating from a highly satisfied user!

For a normal size yard its fine, its not Stihl quality but its a decent little trimmer and its a lot cheaper than a Stihl. I would recomend this trimmer.
What I love about this trimmer is that the battery is inter-changeable with other Black & Decker tools. We already have a B&D drill with its own battery and charger, so I am able to keep one of the batteries in a charger all of the time and have a fresh one when I need it. (This trimmer also comes with its own battery and charger). The instruction manual also states that the battery can be left in the charger indefinitely without any risk to the battery or surrounding area.
I took a star off this trimmer because the battery takes a VERY long time to charge when empty. As expected, I needed to change the battery when I was 3/4 done of my yard (using setting #1). That dead battery took almost 5 hours to charge to full again. I also don't like that it simply stops when dead - ideally there would be some kind of warning to tell you that it is almost dead so that you can even out the section you're working.
All in all, I recommend this trimmer. I am a tall female (5'11'') and I find it light enough that I can comfortable work for 30 minutes or so, and I can extend it high enough to keep my back from hurting. The set up out of the box was super easy, and I was able to start using it right away. I haven't used the edger function yet, but I like that it is an option.
Consider also that this trimmer comes with a rechargeable battery; Black & Decker have a line of tools, lawn care tools and others that all use the same battery systems ... so you can always have a fresh battery on hand when one is out of charge. The batteries do a good amount of work before they run down ...
I can't say enough good things about Black & Decker; around my place - and doing my yardwork myself (at almost 70) ... I *need* good gear, and I know I can depend on Black & Decker to keep me mowing & trimming!
