Reliability of Black & Decker technology

Good day.

I am interested in the reliability of Black & Decker equipment, especially for summer cottages. Are there any specialists? Or the owners ... How about repairs, spare parts?

aynat, Black & Decker amateur Dewalt line, like any equipment of this level, is afraid of prolonged loads.
At the expense of the service, I will not say, but when I chose a lawn mower instead of Bosch, who died in Bose, I took AL-KO.

sazalexter, Thank you!

Are al-ko considered a reliable technique? I considered their verticutter aerator, but the soft grass collector confuses - it is scolded in reviews. Although the price is fine. Is the grass catcher on your lawnmower soft?

B&D watched the garden shredder. For the milling system of knives, the price is very attractive, the choice in the internet is actually between Bosch and the Viking (in favor of the Viking, but it is more expensive), but for the size I need, the Viking's price is not at all humane. And there are no reviews ...

What, by the way, can cause the difference in weight between similar units from other companies - they are 2-2.3 times lighter than B&D. Is this good or bad?

aynat, I have them crocodile 2 seasons. There were no problems with it, but I took off the lid - there is nothing special to break))) The only thing is that now the chain began to fly off often, pulling up does not help ...

Hard.

in favor of the viking

The Stihl division is considered to be one of the best on the market.
Once again B&D is an amateur technique, like Skil. I don't want to talk about Bosch, it's a big lottery. My saber saw from the green series is working, like nothing, but Rotak 32 worked for 3 seasons and died, practically not maintainable.
