Query: Worked great, then died...

This trimmer was working OKAY for me initially. However the line began to feed backwards while I was using it, I think because of the guard design, which became inconvenient. Apart from that, after about 1 1/2 years of owning it, the electric motor burned out on me, for no apparent reason, with standard use in a small front yard. I'm quite disappointed with the outcome. It may have been in part due to the 1.8 amp power rating. I will have to look elsewhere.
