BLACK+DECKER Electric Strimmer Grass Trimmer 900 W 35 cm with Wheel Edge Guide and Adjustable Second Handle GL9035-GB

Really powerful and lightweight. Very easy to control and single spool line very effective trimming grass against patio edges and Shed base. Haven’t tried the heavier duty strum tabs but they look effective for heavier work. Went for the 900w cable version as it was half the cost of the battery strimmers. Very pleased

I used to have petrol, it broke and didn't have a lot of funds. So thought corded would be besti as needed power to low cost and removed the fight to start petrol engine.This strimmer is amazing, light, powerfull, I have a large garden over a foot of grass mixed with weeds and brambles and it flew through it.I just needed to remember I had a wire.I had 2 small issues. No safety or lock on, on power button not used to that, always a safety and while I was untangling the wire my 2 year old had it running in a 2nd.Also it fly's through strimmer wire, will cost me the same in wire as fuel for old strimmer. But you can get heavy duty wire blades for it and fingers crossed that will sort that

Very powerful piece of kit. Easily deals with long grass and weeds in awkward areas.

An excellent product. Purchased to replace a cordless strimmer, which burnt out through light use. This thing is a powerhouse compared to cordless.Easily cuts through weeds and tall grass - would definitely recommend.

I bought this strimmer to replace a very basic, DIY store own-label, strimmer I had owned for a couple of years. It was OK, took a long time to do the job, but halfway through this year’s first-cut Spring grass strimming, before I was going to put the mower on the lawn, the strimmer literally burst into flames. It just couldn’t take it.So, I thought, OK, I clearly need something with a bit more horsepower, and I bought this one.Within a few seconds, I realised I was holding onto a very different device. This fellow not only strimmed grass and weeds, it hated them with a passion and wanted to annihilate them. I started swinging it like my old strimmer, which I now realise used to perform like an old lady with a pair of nail-scissors.This strimmer is the Chuck Norris of strimmers. If you angle it a few degrees too much, you end up with a large patch of bare earth that no longer contains a single molecule of grass DNA. And Chuck is happy with that result. If you strim close to a mature tree (which my old strimmer did, leaving no visible marks), Chuck wants to cut the entire tree down. It even left deep welts in concrete paving!So, beware! If you have a well-manicured, small garden and just want to trim a few straggly edges, Chuck is not for you. It is like sending in a fully-armed soldier to resolve a disagreement in the school playground.However, if you have a large area to clear, with tall grass and weeds, and you don’t mind a few chunks of bare earth when your aim dips from 20-degrees to 22-degrees, or seeing some sturdy saplings that suddenly look the worse for wear, then Chuck is the very fellow for you.You have been warned.

Great quality very functional light weight

Made short work of some very long tufted grass and stalky weeds on a very large piece of ground. The cord is much longer than some reviews suggest and is about 5m. I bought the 900w one, it is very powerful and easily competes with a petrol one. The automatic line feed worked very well and I didn't have to stop once even when hitting large stones on very rough ground. Very easy to adjust the handle to the length I wanted and easy to turn the shaft so that it did lawn edges as well. Only four stars because it's quite heavy but apart from that I love it.

Perfect strimmer for my overgrown (high maintenance) garden which includes thorn bushes and weeds. It cut through like butter, especially after using the heavy duty line that it comes with as spare!It never once snapped or came loose. I am extremely happy with this!
