That said, after a fast 50 minute charge it runs for 20 minutes, cutting powerfully and efficiently. It’s powered by a large 2Ah 48V lithium-ion battery, which along with the charger is sold separately, making this significantly more expensive than other models in the test. However, as it doesn’t come with a support strap, it’s eventually tiring to use. The head is easy to rotate for use as an edge trimmer and the wheels help to support the weight of the body, ensuring it cuts at a consistent height. That said, it’s good value, gives a great cut, and comes with a generous three-year warranty.Īwarded a BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine Best Buy for performance, this trimmer has a generous 30cm cutting width, and the durable nylon double line automatic feed keeps working, so you don’t have to bump line out. It also requires some heft to move between the strimming and edging modes as the mechanism is stiff. The black power cable is only 10m, so you’ll need an extension cord if you plan to strim further from a power source, and it’s tricky to see it in the grass. However, gardeners with limited mobility should note that this strimmer weighs 3.1kg, which is over a kilo more than the lightest machine on test, the Gtech GT50, and it doesn’t come with a strap to help take the weight. It has an automatic feed and we love that there’s a storage compartment on the shaft for the spare spool, so it’s close-at-hand when it needs replacing.
The soft-grip loop handles on its telescopic shaft are comfortable and there’s a helpful loop for tucking the cable away when you’re moving around. It’s particularly good when edging due to wheels that help take the strain, so you can achieve a precise cut. A double line trimmer, it gives a fantastic cut, and thanks to its generous 30cm cutting width, tackles the job quickly and efficiently. This corded trimmer won a BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine Best Buy award for the best budget strimmer.
