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

My grass had over grown due to being in the hospital having a kid , I bought this and it came with heavy duty line , strimmer my grass for 7 hours without a problem , no overheating or cutting out was so easy to use and the cable is really long so no problems there , this strimmer is really worth the money when it comes to performance and portability

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.

The very long power cord gives great flexibility around the yard. Lightweight and well designed. Highly 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.

It's a beast, nice and durable, happy customer

Powerful strimmer. Could do with being a bit longer for me as I’m 6’3’’ but that’s not the end of the world. The worst part is the line feed, it just throws out huge amounts of line willy nilly. Complete bobbins really. Would have been better with a bump feed or a button. Shame, otherwise good value for money.

Trusted brand and great design. Very easy to assemble and set up. Useful instructions and diagrams included. The power lead is a good long length and ideal for tricky hard to get to edges. Easy and comfortable to use.

There's not a bad word to be said about this amazing strimmer. I had my previous one (same model) since creating my garden from scratch almost 5 years ago. Think of rough scottish hillside, tough grasses, brambles and bracken. It's very light to use, easily handles any grasses you put its way and with the heavy duty short cords cuts brambles and bracken. There's also finer cord on reels with a head to fit this but have only used this a bit but it would be plenty for an average civilised garden!
