Love It!
I love being able to take the old one out and pop the new one in. I can change it in less than a minute. No hassle, quick and easy.

Easiest trimmer there is!
I have owned several trimmers, those with long heavy cords to drag along, others with gas/oil mixtures that never worked quite right. Then came the Black and Decker auto feed system. I think it is fabulous! You just plug it on a charger and it is always ready for use, the spools could not be simpler to pop in. I highly recommend this product. Thank you Black and Decker!

Don't waste your money
What the other reviewers fail to mention, maybe because they failed to try, is that the AFS on the trimmer continues to work flawlessly with hand wound string, and at less than 1/4 the cost it's seems like a huge waste to buy the pre-wound spools. It only takes 2 minutes to rewind a spool, so even when I do run out in the middle of a job, I just look at it as a 2-minute break from yard work. Of course, if your one and only concern is convenience, you may be looking at the right product. Be aware, if you've had trouble with rewinding trimmers in the past, it may be because you're using old line, which tends to get brittle over time. Buy some new line and try again. If you buy the three-pack of spools three times, you just paid for your trimmer again.
Thanks for reading,
Adam
ps. Two stars for effort, but the cost is just ridiculous.

AF-100 on GH400 Trimmer Edger
The factory replacement spool for the GH400 Trimmer/Edger is the way to go. I have been very pleased with the easy to load and use spools. I have had bad luck with other trimmers, but this one is great with the factory replacement spool.
