I’m 76 and I can manage this on my own, love i
Easy to assemble, took less than five minutes. Easy to use. Copes with long periods of use. Tendency for strimmer line to melt and fuse, necessitating taking it apart to feed the line. Manages all but the toughest of brambles.
I’m not very good with tools that need assembling but this was very easy and a great tool .
I immediately swapped the plastic trimmer line for some heavy duty line, now its a great strimme
Like most reviews this is great until cord snaps and then you have to take spool off and re thread not too much of a problem just annoying
Perfect for edges and comfortable to use, comes in a small box and attaches telescopically.
Was a bit sceptical when I ordered this after all the reviews but was pleasantly surprised with the overall result. So far it has survived two outings in the lawn where the borders were done nearly without the plastic cord it came with running out. If you are dealing with lawn grass this does the job but doubt if the line is sturdy enough for anything thicker or heavier. Also its easier if you can use an old bag sling to be able to hang it on a shoulder as your hands does get tired in a bit.
changed cord to 2.5 modified cassete bingo perfect the cord supplied not good
Great quality for the price. Easy to assemble,and easy,and lightweight to use.
Works very well then again bosch has always been a great make very easy to use
Universal good reviews and low price for this Bosch standard product. Quick delivery, easy to assemble, lightweight ‘strimmer’ for small urban garden applications.
Good strimmer light weight easy to use great value for money would recommend.
I found assembling this trimmer is actually funny! It comes in small pieces, all connected each other and get together with a click. Super easy to mount and only a screwdriver is required. Engine is pretty powerful and vibrations are not annoying. Only one thing: I needed to change the wire straight away, the original one is way too weak!
Feels really strong and good quality for a budget tool. Easy to assemble too,really pleased.
For the money, this is a decent durable unit, not too heavy, but enough weight to get the job done.
he grass strimmer is lightweight and easy to use.
comes in a flat pack but it took me 5 minutes to assemble.
Really good strimmer. Light weight, adjustable handle, and works really well. Really good quality for the price to.
Trims grass on edges. Certainly can not replace a mower. Whenever you hit a wall with the thread it needs to be re-threaded. Takes about 2 min to do so.
The only thing I would notice on the cons is a bit of a short power line. Only about 6 meters. Had to buy an extender.
The rest meets my expectations so far.
i would disregard previous reviews to a point.. this strimmer is perfect for the smaller jungle whizzed through mine in no time using the wire it came with..however as i did would recommend buying the oregan 2.4 wire as well. you get 15metres of which will last some time.bargain for the 29 pound i spent on it in sale. would highly recommend it ..easily put to work straight away with decent length of cord and decent motor for the money.
Works great nice and lightweight nice long cord. Would recommend getting better wire as mine kept breaking.
Bought this to do the lawn edges which it handles with no issue. We also have an area of meadow for wild flowers which has to be cut to base in September. The litte strimmer handled this far better than I expected only needing a little help with very long grass which got wrapped round it. Can’t fault it considering the price.
I bought this to trim my front lawn. The product is easy to setup and use. I would have liked the power cable to be longer. Overall, this is a good grass trimmer and I would buy it again.
It’s very lightweight, and even easier to assemble and fairly manoeuvrable. However, one minus is the yellow string that actually spins and cuts whatever you need to cut; it always breaks off if you use a certain angle and in general jus breaks off very easily. Very annoying if you’re cutting small corners of grass near fenses etc, as when it hits the fence it will most likely break off.
I wanted an easy to use strimmer, I bought a more expensive one and couldn’t get the twine release to work, so a waste of money. This cheap little version is so much lighter to hold and much easier to change the trimmer spoil, which is good as the twine that comes as standard with this model breaks every few inches, literally, so if you buy this trimmer make sure you buy a stronger spool of twine, 2.4mm or even 3mm. Other than the twine snapping I found this great to use on it’s first outing.
Very light and manoeuvrable. Easy to assemble. Would definitely recommend i
Good for the price. If you can afford one with a spool release get that instead, but this will do the job if you have a small garde
Extremely easy to assemble and use, it’s ideal for my light tidying of grass edges but doesn’t do so well with shrubbier weeds, the string breaks pretty easy, however having said that, it’s simple enough to rethread agai
Light weight easy to manoeuvre and very powerful. Does everything a strimmer should do. Yes the Strimmer wire breaks but that’s not the strimmers fault. Only negative is that the power cable could be longer.
I’ve been looking for a grass trimmer for my parents’ gardan for a while and came across this one.
Looked at the reviews as many do and there are some bad reviews that put me off at first, but the price wasn’t going to do a dent in my pocket so I bought it.
Only thing you might have to do is change the cord, the rest is FANTASTIC.
If you’re not going to use it for the Queen’s garden, you don’t expect it to cut trees or rocks, just change the cord and it’s a perfect little trimmer for your back garden!
Bought this for myself as it is smaller and lighter for me to use. I have a petrol strimmer which is too heavy for me, this makes my gardening life that bit easier.
Just used it for only once. Although the original 1.6mm cord was used, the grass trimmer was still working in good order. My lawn is a relatively small, probably half of a tennis court and have to cautiously avoid the hard objects when trimming. Thanks to advice of other customers, if the cord does break in future use, then I will replace the cord with a thicker one.
We needed something cheap and decent to do the garden edges and this is it. Does the job and is lightweight the hubby loves it.
Works very well once you have replaced the cord which is miles too thin and keeps snapping then it is a nice strimmer.
Why do the manufacturers send it out with a flimsy cord.
Great once you change the cord.
I have had numerous strimmers over the years ranging from bad to worse. This tool is absolutely great, its quite powerful and the cord feed mechanism is excellent( push a button on the spool hub and pull out the required amount of line) no messing with an auto feed that usually does not work! It has a single cord so everything is kept simple. The tool is easily assembled and I would recommend this strimmer to anyone with a medium sized lawn.
bought it on the strenth of 4.5 stars over 4.5k reviews …its a basic garden strimmer and if used for lighter stuff lawn edges it works perfectly well 2 hours use and never broke the strim cord once …i belive the bad reviews are from folks who expect too much for28 quid and are too tight to buy a heavy duty machine ..if used sensibly it works just fine …no complaiants at all
Wire feed works well and easy to assemble and operate.
The product seem sturdy puts together easy the operating devices is a bit strange but not bad for now all is good
If you snap the strimmer wire it is easy to open and replace. It works well for me and is light to use.
The quality is of a very high standard in stark contrast to the very poor quality of the grass handle supplied via Amazon last week
I’ve seen this strimmer getting a lot of flak in the reviews here, and coming from a very similar strimmer, from my experience, its not as bad as they say… compact in the box, quick to assemble and reasonably cheap… the lines a little short, but its in spec, you get what you pay for… in line with other reviews, first piece of line broke almost instantly, but after pulling out another length, proceeded to do the rest of my approx 40m garden with little issue, just grass and the odd weed here and there, one snap when I asked it to go through a chunk of bramble, but thats maybe asking too much…
I’ve only used it once or twice, but for what i payee, just under 30 on sale, you can’t ask for much more out of the box performance, its not a petrol weed walker, or lawnmower, its a cheap simple strimmer, and if the line you get in the box is bad, spend a fiver and buy something a little better quality, and a little thicker and it might not break so easily… how it holds up, time will tell but my last of an older model has lasted several years, and if I only get 3 out of it, its done well
I had read the previous reviews which suggested that the cutting cord should be upgraded to a thicker grade and I duly followed this advice. I have been using the machine for about 1 month, during the growing season in order to give myself some experience of using the equipment.
Despite upgrading the cord, it can only be regarded as a consumable item, and you will need replacement cords quickly, because the usage rate remains high. The reason is that this type of machine is difficult to accurately target, and you will hit immovable and hard objects causing the cord to break. The inaccuracy of judging the cutting point is caused by the varying length of the cord as it wears, and variation of the edges in a garden. This leads to the cord cutting into the lawn surface, leaving cut marks in the soil.
The inaccuracy and the potential for marking of a lawn, leads me to conclude that for small gardens and lawns with cut edges, the best results are obtained from long handled edging shears.
The draw backs mean, that the purpose of the ‘strimmer’ should be more closely defined, if you want to have a tool which is ‘fit for purpose’.
My conclusion is that this tool is ideal for cutting longer grass, especially if close to a masonry wall, or other hard vertical surface. Regard the trimmer as a replacement for the scythe, rather than replacement for shears. However, remember that the very high revolutionary speed of the cord effectively mulches the grass and vegetation, and will stain any light coloured adjacent surfaces. The spatter pattern of green mulch can appear several feet away.
Finally, remember to clean the grass mulch from the machine at the end of each job, it hardens and sets when dry, and will block air vents if not quickly removed with a stiff brush at the end of each job.
Absolutely brilliant. I put of using it after reading reviews but I’ve had a day with it and it hasn’t let me down in any way. I had 2ft grass and some thistles and it coped admirably. If you want a strimmer for a fair sized garden with domestic grass and weeds you can’t go wrong.
So much easier than my previous strimmer. Done in a fraction of the time, it used to take. Easy to extend the cable without any fuss. I’m really happy with my new garden tool and I would recommend it.
Brought this trimmer for 22 during discount.
Million thanks to reviewer’s suggestions.
I replaced the wire to 2.4mm, just around 3.
So I can do trimming longer before extending the wire.
It’s a strimmer! It’s nice and solid not flimsy, good cutting width made light work of the overgrown grass and lawn edges
The strimmer is well made as expected from Bosch. It works well and it has to be remembered that it is intended for use on grass, I have found no problem with the cord size. It seems to work well but again is intended for use on grass and if thicker items are met then you may have a problem. It is important to say that the electrical lead wire has to be of a three cord type with a green earth wire included, if a two cord type is used you may have a problem. It’s a good buy at the price.
This will be fantastic for a small to medium garden. It’s not that powerful, well not powerful enough for a large garden.
I’m really happy with the semi auto feed.
People on the reviews don’t seem to know how it works. Basically, when you release the trigger and it nearly stops spinning, the simple clutch mechanism that holds the line, lets a little bit of line out. If you listen carefully, you can hear it click just before it stops. That’s the mechanism working as it should. And yes it works very well!
It doesn’t have a edging adjustment on the head but it’s light enough to just turn over.
Unfortunately, the motor in mine burned out. Over use maybe, or something trapped inside.. I dunno, but I will be having it replaced with the same model mainly because of the semi auto feed.
You can also fit thicker diameter 2.4mm line without any problems. (Don’t drill it out like some people are suggesting, not only will this stress the motor but it will also invalid the 3 year warranty.
I highly recommend it.
I have the Bosch ART23 before this and it lasted me about 10 years.
It’s functional, does the job, haven’t encountered any major issues with the cutting cord so far, seems to chop the grass fine but there is another viewer with a suggested mod for making it better which I may do at some point.
Not sure if this strimmer is heavier or just more awkward but I get more arm ache using it than my last one…..and the biggest downside for me which is why it doesn’t get 5 stars is the cord length, it’s about 2/3 the length of the old model I had. With that one I put the extension reel in the middle and did the entire garden, this one I have to keep moving it and for the sake of a a few extra metres of cable it’s a bit disappointing.
If you purchase remember this is an entry level product, don’t expect miracles.
After years of usage. Tbh i did not fancy buying a +100 strimmer for the amount i use it in a year.
So i bought this one. My first experience while putting it together was bad. Its very easy. The tube exist of 3 parts press a button in the tube and find the hole in the other tube and it clicks together. Simple right. No. I managed somehow to push it so far in it just disappeared. Fine no worries ordered a return and got a replacement. And the second time after being more careful it connected. So that my only thing i suggest to watch out for. But when everything is put together is feels realy solid.
I write this extensive review cause i really dont get all the negative reviews over this product.
Yes the wire what comes with it is not as strong as a my 1.65mm wire i have in my shed. But i used the whole roll. Before writing this review. It doesn’t disintegrate when you use it like some reviews claim. If used the whole roll now. And cut down very long thick grass. Thick weeds, Edging close to rocks etc. And it went all fine.
Yes, it works way way better with a 1.65mm wire. So after you finished it and just put a 1.65mm in it. You should be fine. This product does the job. Even for his cheap price. For extensive every day usage i don’t know. I just use it once every 2 weeks for about 3 hrs and everything it needs to do it does. I hope this review is helpful to some people to make up their minds
EDIT: i said instead of 1.65mm wire use a 2.5mm wire. That was a genuine mistake. I mean 1.65mm. A 2.5mm wire wont fit. I tried.
Then you guys know
Bought this strimmer even tho it had bad reviews I’ve only used it once since buying it and I really don’t understand what the problem is it’s a great trimmer for the price I wouldn’t take any notice on the reviews I have a massive garden and a metal fence and even tho the wire dose snap it’s normal for it do do that if you got a short fuse just buy the heavy duty wire and you should have no problem getting your garden done thank you boch for a great I really do highly recommend this produc
Had to get new stronger coil but works brilliant now
Very good quality and does the job well thanx pleased with the produc
This is for the Bosch art 26. Little hard to snap in when assembly. Did what other reviews said and replaced the thread with a good one but do check the size of the thread as the one I first got was too big. I believe for this model is a 1.6m. I have very bumpy garden with tree roots so had to keep switching hands as was feeling the weight going up and down all the time. I am short and do have weak wrists so found it uncomfortable. Apart from that it did the front and back garden with no issues. So yes I recommend changing the thread/wire to good rated one.
Excellent product, super light and easy to assemble. Has a powerful motor and can be used for a while without arm strain.
Nothing to dislike very good garden tool paid a lot more money for others that were not nearly as good would recommended this make to anyone.
Never had a good experience so far with strimmers, as no-one has really cracked the line feed problem. Therefore bought the best-price branded one, with low expectations in that respect. Used it a few times and the line is feeding OK!!!!! Maybe because uncomplicated single rather than double line?
Very nice to use and suits my six foot height without me having to stoop. Some reviewers said the cable wasn’t long enough. Well, that’s a “how long is a piece of string” point, innit! Unless you have a tiny garden and an external power point, you’ll need an extension cable anyway (and RCD) , so buy one of right length.
After reading reviews I was worried it would keep snapping the line as many other strimmers have done.
Used once and found no problems. Although no bump feed it is easy to do by pressing release on the line drum.
Quite happy with the performance.
Excellent machine. Well worth the money. The spool is easy to take out and rewire. Although the wire that comes with it is useless. Kept breaking. Suggest installing a thicker wire. Spool is very easy to take out and put back. Though you have to keep your cool whilst you are winding the new wire on. You just manage to put the wire on the spool and then it slips and all comes undone. A a a a a a a h! ( silent scream ) . Though once it is wired it is very easy to install. All in all can highly recommend this machine.
The product is lightweight so I would imagine it would be easy to use. Will have to return to review once I have had a chance to use it.
I have a petrol Strummer which I never got on with,I’m not good with pull starts and it was heavy.The battery Strummer has plastic blades and is not powerful enough.
This model however is well worth the money.
Easy to assemble, light to use and easy to use! No problems at all!
A much better product than I had expected, I can completely recommend.
Rhis is an excellent strimmer for easy cutting and trimming the borders. I am very pleased with it. It was easy to assemble and equally easy to handle. Just remember it is for easy grass cutting. Go for something with a more powerful motor if you wanr to tackle heavier jobs
It was hard to put the guard on but other then that it was easy to make up and easy to use
good delivery and light and powerful to use. the only drawback that i found was that the cutting cord was not very strong and is prone to breaking, however the fitting of a stronger cord has overcome this problem.
Works fine and is a quality product. The only thing I don’t rate is the strimmer wire that comes with it. Breaks so easy I prefer the thicker plastic strimmer wire other than that a really good product. So simple to put togethe
But it is cheap, and it works, so far.
I will just have to wait and see how long it lasts.
My last one lasted 23 years, with a few repairs along the way.
Only time will tell.
Very easy to assemble and handle, compact and straightforward to store.
One area I would suggest could make the lawn trimmer 100% would be to do some work on the nylon cutting cord.
It does not appear to be as sturdy as the Flymo cord.
Easy to assemble and use.Excellent for basic strumming jobs.
Definitely recommended
just the right weight and did a great job strumming my garde
Decent for the price, mine wouldn’t feed the line and I found a spring inside had popped loose, probably during transit, so watch or that. I am impressed for such a cheap item, does the job nicely, did my garden in minutes
This is a super tool. Brilliant for weed disposal, really does the trick.
The only downside is the spool you have to be careful when using to set spool length shorter so it doesn’t break off. . . . . . . ! !
Pro: easy to assemble, very light, very effective.
Cons: cutting cord used too fast. It make sense to order additional one.
Good to have an ability to replace the cord with 3+ plactical or metal cutters.
I’ve not used this yet,but it was so easy to put together,I love bouch producjks.
