It comes with a generous three year warranty.Īwarded a BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine Best Buy for ease of use, the Gtech grass trimmer GT50 is a well-designed tool. However, it doesn’t come with a strap for additional support and becomes tiring after use in the strimmer mode. That said, at 3.9kg it’s also the heaviest in our test, but the telescopic shaft and adjustable loop handle help to balance this strimmer and make it comfortable to hold and manoeuvre. The 33cm cutting width makes this the widest model in the test. We like the different speed settings, so you can boost power for longer grass, or reduce it to conserve the battery life if you’re just neatening up edges.
The cutting head rotates to convert to an edger, and the wheels provide support and ensure a neat, consistent cut along an edge. Powered by two 20V lithium-ion batteries, it has a 20-minute run time from a one hour charge, and there’s a battery level indicator on the shaft, so you can see how much power you have while you’re using the strimmer. Light indicators on the battery let you know how much time you have left to finish the job, the telescopic shaft separates in two for easy storage and it comes with a two year warranty.Īwarded a BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine Best Buy for features, the Worx WG184E grass trimmer includes variable speed settings, an adjustable handle and shaft, an automatic feed and wheels. It copes well with large patches of long grass, as well as hard to reach areas, and cuts lawn edges cleanly. That said, after a fast 50 minute charge it runs for 20 minutes, cutting powerfully and efficiently.
It’s powered by a large 2Ah 48V lithium-ion battery, which along with the charger is sold separately, making this significantly more expensive than other models in the test. However, as it doesn’t come with a support strap, it’s eventually tiring to use. The head is easy to rotate for use as an edge trimmer and the wheels help to support the weight of the body, ensuring it cuts at a consistent height. That said, it’s good value, gives a great cut, and comes with a generous three-year warranty.Īwarded a BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine Best Buy for performance, this trimmer has a generous 30cm cutting width, and the durable nylon double line automatic feed keeps working, so you don’t have to bump line out. It also requires some heft to move between the strimming and edging modes as the mechanism is stiff. The black power cable is only 10m, so you’ll need an extension cord if you plan to strim further from a power source, and it’s tricky to see it in the grass. However, gardeners with limited mobility should note that this strimmer weighs 3.1kg, which is over a kilo more than the lightest machine on test, the Gtech GT50, and it doesn’t come with a strap to help take the weight. It has an automatic feed and we love that there’s a storage compartment on the shaft for the spare spool, so it’s close-at-hand when it needs replacing. The soft-grip loop handles on its telescopic shaft are comfortable and there’s a helpful loop for tucking the cable away when you’re moving around. It’s particularly good when edging due to wheels that help take the strain, so you can achieve a precise cut. A double line trimmer, it gives a fantastic cut, and thanks to its generous 30cm cutting width, tackles the job quickly and efficiently. This corded trimmer won a BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine Best Buy award for the best budget strimmer.
