Corded electric trimmers have the advantage of being the most affordable, eco-friendly, and low-maintenance option. Perfect for medium-sized or small gardens, these machines need to be connected to a power outlet and often require an extension cord. Most cordless strimmers use nylon to cut and this is sometimes referred to as the ‘line’ or in some cases ‘trimmer line’, although some of the latest models have steered away from this and have instead started using easy to change nylon blades, which I personally prefer.

The auxiliary handle and shoulder strap are designed to offer comfort and enhance control, so you can operate the tool with confidence. Makita 18V Cordless line trimmer Best cordless strimmer for professionals [personally tested and proven]Electric corded hedge trimmers: Affordable, low maintenance and lightweight these trimmers do require a power source and have cables that are potentially hazardous - depending on their length you may also need an extension cord for extra reach. Knowing exactly what you are going to be using a cordless strimmer for is important. The reasoning behind this is, you shouldn’t be thinking about spending hundreds of pounds on a commercial use garden strimmer if you are only going to be tending to a small pathway with a few strands of grass poking out. Einhell GC-CT 18 Li Power X-Change 18V Cordless Strimmer is a decent option if you’re not keen on spending the bigger money on the Makita or the Ryobi, but it is not as powerful and that is from actually comparing and using these two tools side by side. Though if your looking for a tool that is just going to trim grass and lighter weeds then this might well be for you. Before we get into the nuts and bolts of the review, let’s take a look at the performance: Unlike many petrol-powered strimmers that use bump feed line feeders, the Ryobi cordless model has an automatic feed, and this certainly saves you time on the job that would usually be wasted finding a solid surface to bump out some more line on. This auto-feed is activated through presses of the trigger on the hand controls and is, in my opinion, an excellent feature. The Bosch also has a simple and easy to operate duel speed switch to control the speed and power manually, delivering optimum power and control when cutting. The two-speed trigger can maintain speeds from 7600 – 8300 RPM, pretty impressive stuff.

There is a foldable flower guard to protect your beds and prize-winning roses, and being able to fold the guard actually came in handy when needing to get closer to walled areas.

Introducing our grass and hedge trimmer combo – the ultimate tool for complete garden care. We recommend that you choose a tool with an adjustable telescopic shaft and a pivoting head for both horizontal and vertical cutting. Also, consider the cutting width of the tool. Strimmers with a large cutting width can chop down more grass in one sweep but are not the best option for delicate work. How Heavy-Duty Strimmers Differ The Bosch grass strimmer is very easy to assemble and caused us no trouble with setup and we were ready to start cutting in no time at all. For once, the instructions supplied were easy to follow, but to be honest, they weren’t really needed as everything is all very straightforward and easy to figure out.
