Einhell Cordless Strimmer 18V Power X-Change, 24cm Cutting Width, Cordless Grass Trimmer and Lawn Edger, Includes 20 x Blades, Without Battery GE-CT 18 Li Solo Lawn Trimmer

Great nice and cheap, performance is extremely good cuts through brambles which I wasn't expecting comes fully assembled and has telescopic adjustable length I'm 6ft1 also handle is quick release and it's easy to adjust the position it also weighs next to nothing my only gripe is the plastic blades tend to snap or fall off easily but I'm impatient and was rough so I think user error also the guard does come off if you happen to slightly knock it on the ground (I don't use guard cause it annoying) but it did cut through 3years worth of grass 1meter high (don't judge just moved in lol) no problems I used a 4amh battery and it lasted 40sqm of cutting will be getting a petrol einhell mower next as I own a vast array of einhell tools which I use to fit kitchens and bathrooms

Excellent product in the Einhell range but I think I prefer strimmer line than replaceable blades for ease of cutting. Does the job though and batteries always long lasting.

I now own several Einhell power-x tools, all paid for by myself, no freebies or encouragement at all. I already have two 4aH batteries and chargers after buying the Einhell lawnmower, so paying under 50 quid for this was a bargain. Where to start... having used a big heavy petrol strimmer for years, this is a revelation. It's just so handy to load a battery, click a button and get going. The machine is powerful enough to deal with thick, overgrown grass and weeds. I've even gone through some smaller brambles with this. The click-on plastic blades are superb, cutting through the thickest weed growth in my garden easily. The machine has more than enough versatility with how the handle is attached. The mid handle can be rotated, lifted, turned, twisted and then fixed in place. There's a twist lock extension pole that means you can extend it while loosened to get the best length for you, then lock it place. I'm 6'2" tall and found it easy to get a comfortable arrangement to suit me. The head of the machine can also be twisted and adjusted, so you can configure it for normal strimming or twist it for edging flower beds etc. I was a little unsure about the plastic blades and how they'd cope with the overgrown bits of our large garden, but honestly they're superb. I do extend the metal loop 'flower guard', which gives some protection from the blades contacting stones and walls, but overall I'm really impressed with how well they cut through the weeds and grass that I've thrown them into. I'm used to having the usual strimming 'wire' on a spool so using clip on blades seemed a bit strange, but they are very good indeed. They attach and detach easily so they're easy to replace when necessary. No more spending 15 minutes having to un spool meters of cable because it's got stuck in the drum. I use the Einhell 4aH batteries with the strimmer. Probably massive overkill for what I need and for the average gardener, but I got them with the 36v lawnmower which is also superb. Even with these big batteries the machine is still well balanced and not too heavy for extended use. All in all a fantastic buy. I also own this strimmers big brother for the huge bramble clear out jobs, the Einhell Agillo 36v Scythe. Another absolutely superb machine, but definitely overkill for smaller strimming jobs when you just want to click on a battery and instantly get going. I've still got a petrol strimmer, but I can honestly say that I can't imagine ever reaching for it again. It's so convenient and easy to charge a battery and just get on with it. Really impressed with Einhell so far. I now have my eye on the chainsaw and the pole saw for the taller shrubs. Highly recommended.

I got this to tame our weed filled allotment as I have Einhell tools and batteries already. To be honest I didn't expect much but this strimmer impressed. Quite powerful for an 18v brushed motor so it made surprisingly short work of some chunky weeds. The blades last well so long as you don't hit brick, metal etc. handy blade storage in the handle and adjustable height make it easy to use, easier than the wire spool type. Impressed

I already had other Einhell tools so it's great I can use the same battery for this. It's also of the same high quality as the other Einhell power x-change tools and of course not having a power cable trailing around is a real bonus so cordless FTW! Easy to assemble too. The blades work well and don't wear out too fast (this is my first time with a blades strimmer). We have a 20m² lawn and it trimmed the edges of that without using much juice and it powers through weeds without worrying. It's really well balanced and light. Being 6'3“, I really like the extending handle and adjustable grip (which contains a handy blade storage too).

Easy to assemble and adjust, seems well made and is well balanced. Battery rather than wire this means less hassle both in set up and tidying away and of course no cables to move around when edging or strimming. It does not cut as well as my corded (but cabled) strimmer. But I will no doubt become accustomed to the cut technique as a strimmer. As an edger it may take longer and have to live with the fact that the blades quickly wear down and the cut is not as clean and easy. With hindsight, a corded rather than blade cutter may still have been the better option. I will update when more accustomed.

I had my doubts initially but used it twice and so far am impressed. I am a builder and pro diyer and know the value of having good tools that make your life and job easy. All my tools are dewalt, makita and paslode. I have been through many branded line strimmers and petrol strimmers all of which give hassle and grief after a while when the spools empty out and when firing up the engines after many months even when using the correct mix ratio and servicing all parts. The warranties are a joke as the manufacturers always avoid responsibility. Slowly but surely battery tools are getting better with more punch. Even my tree surgeon mates have switched to battery Stihl chainsaws which one time we all laughed about. This strimmer and it's single cutting blade are excellent, I have cut thorny thick bramble and driveway paving block weeds, you need to unwind vegetation that gets wound up behind the base plate every so often but as long as you do it frequently it won't become an issue The machine is light enough to not wear your arms and the blade is easily replaceable but you need to use pliers to grip and pull onto the holder each time so not a major issue. The only area of wear I can see is the base plate where the blade fits onto, if we can source replacement parts this machine is a winner. I have now switched all my gardening power tools to einhell having got a lawnmower, hedge trimmer with chainsaw and extra batteries.

Works quite well and is very light weight and easy to use, though the plastic cutter guard seems a bit flimsy. Overall feel seems to be a lower build quality compared to other Einhell power tools I have bought, but it is good value for the price. Time will tell if it is reliable.
