Our reviewer, Jason Cockerham, loved this string trimmer's user-friendly design, easy storage and powerful grass-trimming and weed-cutting performance. It can be used, with its guide wheel, to edge a lawn – but this tool's at its best when whacking weeds.

- Good battery life
- Powerful enough for most lawns
Against
- Can be tricky to switch tools

Power source: Battery
Dimensions: L41.33 x W9.25 inches

Powerful, versatile and offering decent runtime via the bundled-in lithium-ion battery, this string trimmer is a great choice for all-round lawn tidying. I found that the guide wheel on the head helps with edging, although the trimmer is at its best when whacking weeds.
For
- Excellent trimming performance
- Lightweight and easy-to-use
- Convenient storage and maintenance
- Intuitive, adaptable design with two speeds and two orientations
Against
- Slow battery charging
- No heavy duty line (HDL) for cutting thick weeds
