I bought this to replace my previous Bosch trimmer which fell apart after 12 years. This trimmer is the updated version of my old one. I’ve dropped one star for two reasons. The first is the line is supposed to lengthen when the trigger is released but it is very hit and miss. I have been extending the line manually. The second is the weight. Even if you know the weight beforehand it is not like holding the item. This is quite heavy. They have updated the model and it is very well constructed but that is where the extra weight comes in. On the plus side the trimmer is an amazing price for the build quality and it is quite powerful considering it is one of the basic models. It was not worth returning as I only use it for a few minutes when I mow the lawns. I can put up with manually feeding the line. The only thing I wish it had was a longer cable. It does seem quite short.

the cutting line breaks every time it is used .I havent managed to do more that 3 feet before having to switch off and rewind

Lightweight, easy to use and store The grass can be easy to cut on the edge

Great value for the price I paid for this. Sufficient for my garden. Thanks

Excellent price annd service from ao. Came in compact box . Easy to assemble. Strimmer twine included on spool to get you going. Great thanks.

Couldn't believe the the quality for the price. Very impressed. Easy to assemble and made short shrift of the grass which was about 2 inches long.
