Bosch Electric Grass Trimmer EasyGrassCut 23 (280 Watt, Cutting Diameter 23 cm, in Carton Packaging)

Excellent strimmer , nice and compact does the job very well.

I've seen this strimmer getting a lot of flak in the reviews here, and coming from a very similar strimmer, from my experience, its not as bad as they say... compact in the box, quick to assemble and reasonably cheap... the lines a little short, but its in spec, you get what you pay for... in line with other reviews, first piece of line broke almost instantly, but after pulling out another length, proceeded to do the rest of my approx 40m² garden with little issue, just grass and the odd weed here and there, one snap when I asked it to go through a chunk of bramble, but thats maybe asking too much...I've only used it once or twice, but for what i payee, just under £30 on sale, you can't ask for much more out of the box performance, its not a petrol weed walker, or lawnmower, its a cheap simple strimmer, and if the line you get in the box is bad, spend a fiver and buy something a little better quality, and a little thicker and it might not break so easily... how it holds up, time will tell but my last of an older model has lasted several years, and if I only get 3 out of it, its done well

Weighing around 2 Kg., this plastic and metal constructed strimmer was so easy to assemble, most of it having been done so already.The hollow tubular metal arm arrives folded into three section with the power cable running down the middle; think of an elasticated folding walking stick/cane, usually for the elderly.Holes in the tube allow spring loaded metal studs to click into place for assembly/disassembly (I recommend that the strimmer is left assembled.)The plastic strimmer guard beneath slides, then clicks into place.Opposite to the plastic rear guard, is an adjustable metal wire bar, which may be slideither nearer or further away from the strimmer.This pushes plants away from the strimming cord beneath, protecting flower beds, etc.The strimmer's cord cassette, simply drops into place beneath the red capped cover, that is in the base.To open, squeeze the opposite marked sides together to release.It clicks back into place.Thread the cord through the hole in the axle assembly and adjust to the length required.A two way switch arrangement built into the top handle, switches it on and the lower switches either side, keeps the power switched on during use.Depressing the main switch shuts off the power.The safety orange coloured flex/rubber plug, is 6 metres long.Use an RCD device when strimming, sensible footwear and sometimes protective eyewear for those hidden bits of debris.There is an adjustable lower front handle, angled to requirements, by depressing both sides of the handle's red buttons simultaneously; releasing them the handle clicks into a preset position.Readjust until the best comfortable position is found.I use this handle to hang the folded electric flex.Easy to store, clean and use.It's a classic well thought out, well design strimmer, competitively priced unit for these financially slimmer times; cut costs, not quality.

Works like a charm. I found it lighter than some others therefore easier to use for a long period. Excellent cutting power, fast and effective.

I have had this strimmer for 6 months now and held off reviewing just in case I was missing something. I have bought may bosch products in the past and I always find them great value and they usually work very well. This is great value - no doubt, It was easy to assemble (it comes in a small box and fits together very cleverly) but I just don't get on with the cable feed. It is not an automatic feed - you trigger it by pressing the power button on and off. I just can' get it right, I often end up having to refeed as the cable worn right down, and having to switch the power on and off makes the whole process very stop start.It is very light 0 and I do like that - I chose a cable powered strimmer as I find battery powered strimmer to heavy for prolonged use.

Really good; even works well on the nettles i the field at the bottom of our garden

I ordered this just to trim the small grass from the side of the walls. Straight after I received it I just tried it to see it work, it worked okay (was only for 1 minute). I ordered an extension lead as the lead that comes with the product is way too short. I used it today, for 10 minutes (with breaks in between , every 2-3 minutes of use, as I was looking where the weeds are) as I was using it, smoke started to come out of the thing , I stopped immediately, gave it 20-30 mins to cool and tried to turn it on again but with no success, the product was making noise like electricity was trying to pass through but the little motor wasn't working.I thought for 24 pounds wasn't a bad product, I could never be more wrong. I don't recommend it at all. Thank God is still in guarantee. Going to send it back and the next one I'm going to buy I wont be stingy. I left pictures what I managed to cut( the insides of the red line) until the product broke down on me. Avoid! I thought bosch is a great company.PS: I saw other people complaining about the cutting line that wears off too quick, that was the only good thing for me, was lasting quite well, for what I did, I extended it only once, not bad cutting line in my case.

As you'd expect from Bosch. Very well made and works perfectly. Slightly heavier than expected but not too heavy. Does the job. And does it well. Plenty of power. Not too noisy. Makes a great job. I got this at a good price also. Very pleased. Cable is a decent good length.Few things I wish were slightly better, but nothing at all concerning. Just personal taste.I would highly recommend Bosch over alternatives.
