Bosch Home and Garden cordless trimmer EasyGrassCut 18V-26 (without battery, 18 Volt System, cutting diameter: 26 cm, in cardboard box)

Excellent value for money. Bought 'bare' as I have several compatible batteries and to replace an old corded strimmer. So much easier and auto line dispense works perfectly. Finished edging my lawn before I'd got the old one ready, (extension cable plugeed in and struggled to manually pull some cord out!) The guard ring is excellent to protect decking edges and trees etc and easy to turn the strimmer 90 degrees to operate vertically. Wish I'd bought this sooner.

Very happy with my first cordless strimmer. I already have a lightweight corded Bosch strimmer which I love, but wanted to have the freedom of no cable attached. This cordless model I still feel is lightweight, although meaty battery attached. It’s performance is excellent and I can’t believe how long the battery has lasted, considering I had a large area to strim round. As usual I can’t fault Bosch again. So easy to assemble and comfortable to hold/operate. Sturdy construction too.I am small in height and have health issues, so was important to have a lightweight machine that felt comfortable and easy to use. I got a great priced bundle too. What’s not to like.

This works really well. I use it with a 2.5 Ah battery which lasts ages. A 4 Ah battery offers slightly better balance at the cost of overall weight. My previous strimmer was one-handed and corded. This lightweight two-handed design is much more comfortable, and the freedom of cordless makes the work feel easier and more approachable. It is still moderately loud though. I was initially apprehensive of the feed mechanism: not a bump-feed but a feed on trigger release. I feared this would use far too much line and the trigger lock-out button would make it cumbersome. As it turns out, the desire to blip the trigger soon goes away, and the trigger lockout only requires a slight twist of the wrist. The rotating head to get vertical strimming is welcome, but the button position and twist action is clumsy, breaking the workflow. As a point of interest, this arrived in a far smaller box than expected. The handle is split into three pieces that you have to assemble. I noticed too late from the cryptic instructions that there was a specific order in which to do this which I had not followed and, once together, it can't be taken apart! Still, that didn't seem to prevent it working. I understand why they didn't want to make it durable enough to be repeatedly collapsed, but that would have been a handy feature.

Easy use. Feels well balanced. Battery life for a medium to large garden is good (2.5amp). Seems strong enough in cutting and build. Nice quality that might well last long.

First class tool and a great price, works very well

Works well. Light to use.

I've bought cheaper versions of these that do not last long, blades/wires are a pain to get and the batteries do not last long, in use or number of charges. I already had a lawnmower with the interchangeable battery so I decided to trade up. I am glad I did. I have docked a star as it is heavy and I've lymphedema in my dominant arm, so my arm aches after a while. Also, it's slightly awkward to use the buttons to lower/raise the 2nd handle. Straightforward to put together. Easy to manoeuvre - like a Star Wars lightsaber! Slices through longer grass that the mower can't reach easily. I also turned it to cut the fine edges of a privet bush. The battery is easy to get on and off. Don't look at the cheap stuff - buy this. Even if you have to buy the battery,

Absolute game-changer for us in managing our garden and lawn. Works brilliantly dealing with weeds and grass. Took us a while to figure out how to install and lock in the spool and once we did, all good. We have spent hundreds of pounds paying someone to help strim the weeds etc. We can now easily do it ourselves when needs must. Lightweight and excellent results. We have other Bosch products so were able to use the same batteries for this strimmer. Should have bought this a lot sooner!!
