    Golden Review Award: 31 From Our UsersBroke after 6 months, replacement better!
    So this is for the most part an incredibly well designed strimmer but there are a few flaws that bosch really need to sort out.
    First is that the collar that goes around the spool is made from too soft a plastic, what happens is the line cuts into the collar cutting a channel and getting stuck meaning it no longer auto feeds and you have to keep stopping to pull the line manually. Every single spool I’ve put in does the same thing.
    Second, and this is what broke on mine, the foot lever to adjust the angle and make it turn into an edger seized. It’s about to be collected for a warranty repair….. Hopefully! Having a foot operated anything is just asking for too much load to go through the mechanism, a simple hand operated pull and twist would be much more robust. Also having the mechanism down low is just asking for it to get gummed with detritus.
    Third is the edging wheel snaps off, thankfully you can order this as a spare part and it simply clicks in, but any kind of lateral force will snap it off. Other manufacturers have a far more robust connection to the chassis of the strimmer, just look at the black and orange strimmer for a good example.
    The handles are genius, the two handed hold is so much more comfortable, the motor is low on vibration and the strimmer cuts well, but the weak points ruin what otherwise would be the best home strimmer going. Come on bosch, sort this out, I’ll even help you test a new version!
    Update 13th May 21, to The credit of Bosch the warranty return was slick and in a matter of days they told me that they would replace the whole machine, the new one arriving two days later.
    So first up, Bosch have changed the collar design so that both faces of the opening are now covered in stainless steel, which will undoubtedly solve the line cutting problem.
    The foot operated lever feels much more positive in action and more robust. I can’t prove it but suspect they’ve made changes here too.
    The stick on edging wheel is still bobbins and liable to break but at least that’s cheap to replace.
    The ergonomics of this strimmer are great, it also cuts well, battery life with our 4ah batteries are also good.
    My new machine is a has a 2021 manufacturer date if it helps.

    good enough for most strimming
    Battery life is fine. I managed to do front and back edge strims 3 times before recharge. I already have a spare battery as I have other Bosch 18v tools. The machine lacks the power of plug in rivals but to be fair it was good enough for lawn edging and a few border weeds which is as much as I need. It folds down quite small and is very light and mostly easy to use. there’s a pedal to change the head angle to do edging but I still need to end up getting my hands involved. Also the the ajustable main tube does not lock in the fully retracted position which is a bit of a nuisance. It does what I want it to though and a lot easier than extension leads and tripping over cables all the time.

    Easy to set up, simple to use, quick delivery and good price. Battery lasts better than I expected, i have a large garden 0.4 acre and it completes the edges in one charge.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersIdéal pour les bordures
    J’avais besoin d’un coupe bordure pour que madame puisse faire tout l’entretien seul. C’est idal. Lger et maniable.
    La batterie permet largement de faire les bordures sur nos 1500m de jardin.

    le fil est particulier, je pense quil sera obligatoire de repasser par la marque bosh.

    N’esprer pas par contre faire du dbroussaillage avec. Le moteur, l’unique fil ne viendront pas bout des plantes grasses ou haute herbes.

    Tut genau was er soll
    Der Rasentrimmer liegt gut in der Hand und das Ergebnis kann sich sehen lassen. Durch die tolle Spule braucht man nicht stndig den Faden nachziehen. Kleines Manko – er ist etwas laut.

    I’ve tested this out rather than used it practically, but already I’m impressed with the ergonomics of the machine. If all the reviews I’ve read are correct, the battery life will be equally as impressive.

    Ist Okay
    Ansich ist der Rasentrimmer ziemlich gut
    Selbst fr mich als Linkshnder liegt der Rasentrimmer gut in der Hand und war keine groe umstellung mit den beiden Griffen.
    Was mir allerdings garnicht so gut gefallen hat ist diese Automatische Fadenspule mal funktioniert alles super und dann wieder nicht …
    Leider konnte ich in der Beschreibung nichts darber lesen….wie und was man da tun kann.
    Trotzdem allem ist es doch ein klasse Rasentrimmer .

    Zu empfehle
    Ich habe schon zahlreiche Gerte der Bosch 18 volt Serie. Der Rasentrimmer ist fr den Preis absolut zu empfehlen. Dicke Stngel wie ltere Brennnesseln schafft er zwar nicht. Gras aber ohne Probleme. Mit meinem 2 Ah Akku geht das Ganze 20 Minuten lang. Wie lange der Faden hlt bleibt abzuwarten. Der Rasentrimmer an sich ist sehr leich

    Battery lasts
    Love my new strimmer. Not noisy and lightweight too. Shares a battery with the hedge trimmer I bought so depending on which one I’m using, I can have two batteries ready to go, however battery lasts for ages. I use it in a side to side scything motion, cutting the tops of really long grass off first, then working down. It’s cut through baby broom and tree seedlings no bother on a really overgrown patch at the back of my garden.

    Excellent product. Lightweight and easy to use.
    I have the lawn mower for the small top lawn and awkward bits of the garden around trees and that’s fab. So I thought I’d give this a go as my husbands strimmer is way too heavy for me. It is perfect, lasts ages, cuts really well and is really light and easy to use. I would recommend this to all women and men with back issues. Very pleased with this product.

    Better than first impressions sugges
    Upon opening the boxed strimmer I was a little under whelmed, however I put the battery on and ventured out into the garden. It looks flimsy and light weight but this is actually not the case as it is so easy to use. I used it to strim round the chicken coop and the raised bed planters and path edgings. The battery lasted 20 minutes and it saved so much time messing about with the petrol strimmer. I will still need the petrol strimmer for bigger weeds but this is a great addition to my kit.

    A Very Good Purchase
    I was very dubious about having a cordless machine but this has proved to be an excellent buy. Fully charged it takes care of our two small gardens front and back with loads of running time left over. The auto feed works well but if the feed does need manual intervention it is easily taken care of. I don’t do any edging so can’t comment on that. My one reservation about all cordless devices is how the battery will survive the winter when there is little work for it. All batteries last longer when they are worked regularly. Time will tell.

    Great for general grass strimming
    Great little strimmer, very happy with it. I was getting a bit fed up getting out an extension lead, unwrapping power cords. moving them all from the front to the back garden and then putting them all away (seemed to take longer doing that than the actual strimming). So started to look at cordless battery models. Picked this on as I tried holding it in a local (large) DIY chain and found it easy to hold and light (you may want to do the same before buying), and also I have other Bosch 18V tools. As some have said this uses the newer battery (my other tools used the older 18V type) – only difference is the charger, but both battery types work in all tools. I did toy with the idea of a bare (no battery model) but got this 2.5Ah one at a reduced cost so thought it a bargain for an extra battery. It feels a bit ‘weak’ compared to the corded strimmer I have (a ‘heavy duty’ model) but is actually fine for grass/weeds, cutting through it very easily. I’ve got about 55m of edges to strim (I take my time and go over a few bits to get them neat), after first strim the battery (using my drill, as this tool doesn’t have a battery level indicator) still showed 3 out of 3 bars, falling to 2 out of 3 bars on second use.

    Good value machine for a smaller garde
    At first thought it to be somewhat flimsy but not the case. The attached wheel keeps falling off so I took it off permanently. It works extremely well on short grass but cannot cope wit long or very thick grass etc.
    I would recommend the product without reserve for the correct strimming conditions. battery lasts OK although i have another with a Bosch hedge trimmer (which is just as good).

    Best buy - but look out for the charger!!
    I don’t often write reviews for products I’ve purchased, but my pleasure with this strimmer from Bosch was, I felt, was worth a few words! We have a fairly large ‘garden’ to maintain (approx. 60m length) part of which is a reclaimed field! So it varies from semi-tame areas to patches of ‘studious neglect’! We already have a petrol strimmer for some of the wilder areas but it’s such a faff to mix the fuel and it is quite heavy. So I was looking for something a little more ‘agile’! I decided on Bosch as I already have a couple of other cordless products that require the 18v battery. Having said that, given the nature of the ‘challenge’, I did look at the the Advanced 36 model but decided against on cost. I read many other reviews and from those immediately discounted the type that uses plastic cutting blades! Finally, I chose the Universal Grass Cut 18 but I was a little apprehensive that it would cope.
    I needn’t have worried. When it arrived, it was a doddle to set up: one screw for the guard and then attach the guide-wheel and you’re ready to go! It was effortless coping easily with edging, nettles and some light bramble – on one charge! But above all it was so lightweight and really doesn’t need a harness (a criticism I read elsewhere). If you’re looking for a pick-up-and-go strimmer I would highly recommend this!
    One small piece of advice however…the other Bosch cordless products mentioned above came with what must be an older design of charger. Although the batteries for these are interchangeable with the strimmer, I ordered a new spare 18v battery only to find that it requires what must be a new charger! So I’ve had to return the additional battery and I’ll rely on the batteries from my drill and sander!
    Happy strimming!

It was effortless coping easily with edging, nettles and some light bramble – on one charge! But above all it was so lightweight and really doesn’t need a harness (a criticism I read elsewhere). If you’re looking for a pick-up-and-go strimmer I would highly recommend this!
    One small piece of advice however…the other Bosch cordless products mentioned above came with what must be an older design of charger. Although the batteries for these are interchangeable with the strimmer, I ordered a new spare 18v battery only to find that it requires what must be a new charger! So I’ve had to return the additional battery and I’ll rely on the batteries from my drill and sander!
    Happy strimming!

    Nice lightweight strimme
    Very easy to use – lightweight – cutting cable not the strongest – always a complaint with strimmers – does the job well and batteries last well. ( bought an extra battery )

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersMacht was es soll, kann was es soll.. !
    Ich habe nun den Trimmer ausgiebig getestet. Er dient als 2. Gert fr die Bereiche zu denen ich kein Kabel legen will oder die Motorsense anwerfen will. Kleine Bereich, um Strucher, Bume und Blumen freizuschneiden. Dafr ist es perfekt. Es schneidet mhelos Grser und etwas dickere Distelstengel weg. Mehre soll es auch gar nicht knnen. Ich betreibe ihn mit einem 4.0 Ah Akku. Den habe ich bis jetzt noch nicht leer bekommen.
    Dabei liegt der Trimmer gut in der Hand / Unterarm, denn der nach hinten herausstehende Akku bildet nicht nur ein gites Gegengewicht sondern sttzt sich auch gegen den Unterarm ab. Gut gelst!

    Alle sin allem zufrieden…

    I’m now aware that there are the “advanced” models available and those offer improvement in cutting back larger areas of overgrown grass. However, this cordless device offers convenient access to strimming a medium sized lawn and garden. The line auto feeds and hasn’t snapped yet. Not having an electric cable is a massive help and the battery life is good. Charging is quick too.

    Schneller unkomplizierter Aufbau. Gert erfllt seinen Zweck. Schneitet das Gras sauber und glatt ab.
    Das einzigste was etwas strt wenn das Gert startet ist es sehr laut und hrt sich seltsam klappernt an.

    Golden Review Award: 7 From Our UsersGood value if you're already tooled up with Bosch batteries
    This works surprisingly well, even thought it’s quite lightweight. I chose this because I already use the 18V 4Life batteries on some other tools, so buying it without battery is a no brainer.
    I was worried about the build quality because of the weight, but I needn’t have worried. It’s ideal for edging my lawn and going up against walls/fences
    Battery power seems to run for a while – I finished the job before the battery ran out. Great to be cordless when strimming!

    Golden Review Award: 24 From Our UsersGet's the job done, even the heavier stuff!
    Bought to use at my allotment, and it didn’t disappoint on the first outing – managed to strim away fairly thick weeds like cowslips with 6-8mm diameter stems and long grass, 2-3ft/1m high. Thicker/woody weeds it couldn’t do, but wasn’t expecting it to. Battery was great to do the whole thing, probably spent 20-30 minutes at least with it on virtually the whole time.
    Auto feed on it works very well and I didn’t have to stop at all in use to pull out extra cord. Great that it folds down and makes it easy to carry, that was an unexpected bonus which makes it great for my walk to the allotment, lightweight too. Bought a battery strimmer as I really didn’t want a petrol one. Borrowed heavier petrol ones, and for what this does, it is an ideal substitute – this will easily cope with the medium size garden I have and the edging.

    Golden Review Award: 29 From Our UsersEinsatz als Kantenschneide
    Am Samstag habe habe ich den Akku Rasentrimmer von Bosch erhalten und ihn natrlich sofort getestet, da ich ohnehin gerade mit dem Rasenmhen begonnen hatte.
    Vorweg muss ich sagen, dass ich bereits die Akkuheckenschere von Bosch besitze und den Trimmer ohne Akku gekauft habe, da die Heckenschere bei uns nur 1- 2 mal im Jahr genutzt wird. Der Akku war also bereits geladen und das Gert somit einsatzbereit.

    Aufbau/Handhabung
    Fr den ersten Einsatz muss eigentlich nur das “Schutzblech”, also die Plastikabdeckung festgeschraubt und das Laufrad aufgesteckt werden. Anschlieend den geladenen Akku dran und schon kann es losgehen.

    Betriebsdauer
    Mit einer Akkuladung, kann man ca. 30 Minuten lang mhen. Da ich die Kanten dieses Jahr schon lnger nicht mehr gemht hatte, habe ich fr unser 1500m^2 Grundstck insgesamt drei Anlufe gebraucht. Bei regelmigem Einsatz werden evtl. zwei Ladungen ausreichen.

    Leistung
    Fr das Schneiden der Rasenkanten hat das Gert ausreichend Power, bei Flchen und mit hherem Gras oder Grsern mit dickem Stngel, kommt der Trimmer aber dann doch an seine Grenzen. Ich habe hinter der Hecke einen ca. 1 m breiten Streifen der dieses Jahr noch gar nicht gemht wurde und musste mich dabei sehr behutsam vorwrts arbeiten. Das Trimmen des Bereiches hat aber dann schlielich doch geklappt und beim nchsten mal wirds sicher einfacher. (Die Flche war stark bewachsen siehe Bilder)

    Fazit
    Im Vergleich zu meinem kabelgebundenen Trimmer, ist die Leistung schwcher aber ausreichend um die Problemzonen des Rasenmhers zu beseitigen. Besonders der etwas breitere Streifen hinter unserer Hecke hat mich viel Zeit/ Geduld gekostet, da der Trimmer mit den festen Stngeln im Gras und Disteln seine Probleme hat.
    Ich werde in 1-2 Wochen den gleichen Bereich erneut mhen und hoffe, dass die Arbeit dann schneller geht.
    Ansonsten kann ich das Gert nur empfehlen. Wer viele Rasenkanten und ein groes Grundstck hat, so wie wir wird damit sicher gut zurecht kommen und die Freiheit ohne nervige Kabeltrommel bestimmt genieen.
    PS: Zusammengeklappt passt der Trimmer auch in eine normale Gartenbox (z.B. von Lidl)

    Nachtrag: Bei regelmigem Rckschnitt gengt eine zweite Ladung um ein ca 1500qm groes Grundstck komplett zu bearbeiten (Kantenschneiden entlang des Zauns und um diverse Bsche und Bume herum).

    Coupe des herbes fraches assez denses en insistant un peu, mais ce n’est pas une dbroussailleuse…
    videmment tout n’est pas parfait, autonomie de la batterie rduite 15/20 minutes, grosse consommation de fil (c’est un systme un seul brin).

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our Usersfuturistisches Desig
    Trotz des futuristisch anmutenden Desgin ist der Trimmer sehr gut zu bedienen. Erliegt gut in der Hand und jede Stelle/Flche ist damit zugnglich. Die Akkuleistung ist hervorragend und hlt locker 20 min durch.

    Einziger Schwachpunkt ist der Mhschutz aus billigsten, hauchdnnen Hartplastik – das wir wohl nicht lange halten.

    Das ist eine echte Bewertung, ich habe mir den Rasentrimmer tatschlich zum Marktpreis selbst gekauft!

    Ich bin wirklich froh, dass Bosch endlich wieder einen Trimmer mit Faden hat. Ich hatte vorher einen gnstigen von der Konkurrenz, dessen Akku unter nach der Hlfte des Gartens (ca. 200 m Rasenmhkante) schlapp machte. Der bosch wrde gefhlt mich mal 200 m machen (habe ich nicht ausprobiert). Und selbst wenn nicht, neuen Akku rein (es passen alle der grnen 18 V Serie) und weiter geht’s…
    Auch fr den Rcken ist er besser, weil durch den Griff ergonomischer.

    It’s a great product and if you already have some Bosch equipment with batteries it’s perfect to reuse them, however the battery does not last for too long so it’s great for small gardens (or get more batteries). Besides that, it does the job, the well fell apart after a couple of weeks of moderate work, however I’m not really missing it.

    Der Trimmer ist sehrgut zu gebrauchen. Ich habe schon einige Gerte der grnen Linie, dadurch kann man den AKKU fr mehrere Gerte verwenden.
    Da ich auch einen Boschtrimmer mit Schneidblatt und Faden habe, verwendet meine Gattin den Akkutrimmer fr die Feinarbeiten.
    Da er sehr angenehm in der Hand liegt und kein Kabel mitgeschleppt werden muss ist er sehr hilfreich. Auerdem hat man Ihn schnell bei der Hand.
    Leider habe ich die Bedienungsanleitung nicht ordentlich durchgelesen. Bei der montage des Rades ist mir ein Missgeschick passiert und ich finde zur Zeit kein Ersatzrad.
    Habe auch einen Ersatzfaden mitbestellt.

    Almost like an old-fashioned scythe – the handles encourage good posture. Very effective action and switching modes very simple with foot pedal. Yet to experience the extent of battery life. Only quibble: attaching the guide wheel needs to be done carefully. I tried forcing it on and a lug broke but followed it up through Bosch spares and replacement on its way (at my cost of course). It’s now 7 weeks later and still no sign of the replacement part although it was paid for up front. Bosch’s agents always have the same reply: ‘Bosch can’t say when it will be delivered. I’ll phone them today and call you back’. They never call back. The alternative is an offer to cancel the order. Beware Bosch spare parts.
