The plastic blade is also something most users appreciate. The blade is effective and easy to change. The only complaint was that it does not last all that long. Gtech has overcome that issue by including 20 blades with every new machine. Replacement blades are easy to come by and cost next to nothing. Weight This depends on your specific needs. Both corded and cordless strimmers are suitable for domestic use. The weight of the Gtech GT3.0 is a mere 1.85 kg making it light and easy to move. This will reduce fatigue and make the job easier to do. It is ideal for those not quite up to lugging a large heavy trimmer around. Power They are great for cutting in awkward places that you wouldn’t be able to reach with a mower, such as around the base, the corner of a lawn or on steep slopes. They’re far more efficient than lawn shears and scissors, and more manageable than lawn mowers.

One of the things that I really like about the Bosch UniversalGrassCut 18-26 is that it is so lightweight. You won’t need a harness or a strong arm to carry the tool around since it weighs just 2.6kg! The battery that came with this cordless grass trimmer had a run time of around 30 minutes, but you can’t expect too much from a 2.0 Ah battery. The fact that it charges in just 1 hour is a huge plus however. This also makes it a lot more noisy, running at 108 dB, and it has higher vibration. It’s a serious machine, so ear defenders are certainly required. A relatively unique feature is the two wheels that allow for convenience and control when edging and trimming. It improves stability and will make the job faster as well as more accurate. The features do not end there for this WORX WG163E.1. Key FeaturesA good cordless trimmer, often called a strimmer, is light, efficient and super easy to use. They can do a great job of neatening the areas the lawn mower cannot reach and ensure your edges are neat and attractive. Batteries have improved dramatically over recent years making cordless grass trimmers a great alternative for all but the largest gardens. It’s very easy to assemble, while the easy management ensures you can reach just about any corner of the garden. The motor head tilts in 5 different positions, allowing you to remove weeds and tall grass wherever it is in the garden, whether that’s under lawn furniture or under hedges. The extremely low weight of this Bosch EasyGrassCut 18 cordless trimmer combined with the adjustable and comfortable handles make this practical and easy to use. It can easily be adjusted from a trimmer to an edger and the design and weight make both functions effortless. It also comes with a harness included, which will help prevent the 5.2 kg weight from becoming too tiring.

Petrol strimmers are far more powerful than electric models, better suited to larger gardens and dense areas. The Hyundai 52cc Petrol Grass Strimmer cuts through tough weeds with ease, and is a great choice for stubborn weeds and large areas which have become overgrown. It uses a DNA2 Double Helix spool. This is an advanced design that cuts extremely well with less flutter and noise. The cleaner cut also means a healthier grass blade for a happier looking lawn. This design and the patented blended polymer is also more durable than the typical round string. Feed Type The plastic shaft protector is another practical feature. It guards the string to prevent debris from hitting you as you work. It also keeps the line at a decent length and gives the trimmer a good balance. WeightThere is no difference between a strimmer and a trimmer! The terms are used interchangeably, although strimmer is the more colloquial term. The weight of the Ryobi OLT1832 ONE+ cordless trimmer is 2.3 kg so light enough for most users. This is made even easier by the adjustable height and handles. Power Having tested several cordless strimmers, the Einhell performed well against competing products at this price range. Cordless strimmers offer you unlimited freedom to move around the lawn, but they can only be used for a certain amount of time before they run out of power.
