Had this for a good few months now and am really happy with it. The adjustability means it’s comfortable to use whatevers your height and the blades last for ages.
I have used the strimmer just once and it does what is required. The one downside is it is on the heavy side so could only be held for short periods. Battery is also heavy which adds to the weight.
The battery (sold separately) lasts ages, the strimmer itself is easy to use and lightweight. The blades are strong enough for edging lawns and cuttting back small weeds, but do not expect it to cope with heavy stuff like brambles.
Cons:- need to be careful not to hit rotating blade on hard objects as it will be damaged, unlike the corded makes where are you able to feed out more cord.
Intial thoughts on this was that it felt a bit cheap on the plastic casing front, but maybe I was just comparing it to a much more expensive product. Love the fact that it comes complete with a good amount of spare blades and has a great little storage compartment on the handle (I was always loosing the Bosch blades).
First use seems very impressive. A pretty quiet motor and it strimmed through grass and light weeds very easily and is pretty powerful. I imagine the power would depend on the size of battery you use , I have the 18v which works well. The blades are also flexible so unlike the Bosch equivalent that were solid plastic, I imagine they’ll last a bit longer after hitting walls/stones etc.
Looks to be a good purchase and at good value, especially if you already have the battery and charger.
It’s lightweight without the battery but it’ll add weight depending on the battery used for it, we currently have 2.5 & 4.0Ah batteries.
It’s great to cut around grass and weeded areas that are a pain to get around with a wired strimmer, given that this uses plastic cutters for the strimmer, we found it better than the wire you had to buy for our wired strimmer. The cutters itself worked well too as they are stronger than wire but just be aware that cutting something a bit more tougher or catching it on a stick or even a lifted area (a drain cover in our case), it could shorten the cutter slightly but it’ll still cut well, you get 20 with this strimmer regardless.
It’s adjustable too, you can shorten the length or expand it, it also had a metal guide on it that’ll help from hitting any areas that could damage the cutter or it can be used to even your garden, especially the edges. The handle can also be adjusted, you can have it at the front, the side or the back so there’s plenty of ways to have a good handle on it.
All in all, I’m happy with it and so is my Dad, money well spent.
Typical of German engineering great tool easy to assemble and use. put it to use virtually as soon as I put it together. Using a cutting blade is much better than a wire. Blades can be replaced when needed in a moment with no hassle.
However I was put off in the end by the price of fuel in the UK and having to go and fill up a can at the petrol station.
So after three days of researching I decided on this wireless one and went for the deal with two batteries.
First time use. My friends two foot high grass in her medium sized back garden. I charged up both batteries as I was sure I would need them both. I was also concerned that the strimmer would not be up to the job and struggle. Should I have gone for an automatic line fed one instead. I also wandered before starting if I should have gone petrol after all.
What can I say. This little strimmer was fantastic. Did it all on one battery, just and apart from having to replace the red plastic blade once, due to hitting a concrete fence post a few times. It was fantastic.
Cut the grass down to about six inches all over the garden. Could have gone shorter, but that’s fine for the petrol grass cutter. Really am happy with this purchase.
Also the handle has a tray full of replacement blades for ease of reach. Happy and can’t wait to use it in my own garden.
All in all I am happy with this product. It suits my requirements and whilst there are probably better performing makes and models out there I think this is great value for money.
Loved it so much that we purchased two more. They are great little stri.mers and would reccomend them to everyone.
One word of advice though. When it comes to buying new blades don’t be fooled into buying cheap alternatives as you will be wanting your money. Stick to the genuine replacements.
it’s lightweight but the weight is biased towards the cutting end as that’s where the motor is.
a strap would have been useful just to help holding it for long periods.
the plastic strips (which do the cutting) last a good while if you’re cutting grass – but anything harder than grass and they soon wear out.
overall, recommended – especially for light duty such as strimming grass
It provided us with a comparatively low-cost method of putting a lightweight and very easy-to-uses strimmer into my wife’s hands, leaving me to do the hefty trimming with a 46cc MDT petrol machine.
This was only low-cost coz we already had two batteries c/o the Einhell lawn-mower we had previously purchased.
I also bought an Einhell 5.25″ battery powered angle-grinder, so I can now cut metal or stone comparatlively easily almost anywhere, without having to trail cables all over the place. Also very reasonably priced thanks to my already having the batteries.
