![]() ![]() As you can see I am well sold with this tool but I have got a couple of little niggles to go through with you from these couple of years using and working and testing with this tool. I’ve absolutely hammered mine for the last couple of years on grass, thistle, nettles, and even lightish brush, which it is totally not engineered for, and yet somehow it puts up with it. ![]() That is across hundreds of cordless tools. The only time Makita in recent history have changed a model sharpish is the cordless chainsaw – to a tooless tightening chain. Makita just produce top quality first time without ever considering sending out a sub par item. I bought the Makita 18V cordless line trimmer two years ago and as usual not a lot has changed. Specification: Warranty: yes (1-3 year), Power: 18V, Cutting Width: 26cm, Speed: 800rpm, Weight: 3.1kg ![]() So with that overview, let’s get into these tests and reviews of the best cordless strimmers: ![]() I’d pick whichever is cheapest at the given time of purchase □ Įinhell GC-CT 18 Li Power X-Change 18V Cordless Strimmer – Alternative budget īosch cordless grass strimmer Best grass trimmer īlack & Decker 36V Cordless Strimmer – currently out of stock but I don’t want to remove it as it really is a great strimmer! VonHaus 20V cordless strimmer – best on a budget and very very similar to the Einhell. Ryobi OLTT1832 18V ONE+ cordless strimmer best alternative to the Makita Makita 18V Cordless line trimmer Best cordless strimmer for professionals Best cordless strimmers in the UK – my top picks from testing: Because of their popularity, all of the most well-known names in the garden tool manufacturing world have thrown their hat into the ring, and so, there are a ton of good products out there available at very competitive prices. The most popular type of strimmer these days are cordless models, due in no small part to their sensible cost when compared with petrol strimmers, and manoeuvrability that outshines corded models all day long, you only have to look at my corded electric strimmer tests to see these are chalk and cheese for practicality. What if you just want something lightweight for trimming and fine tuning? If you want a lawn to be jealous of, the two main tools that you are going to need are a great lawnmower and a top strimmer ( I would highly recommend looking at a cordless lawn mower as the batteries will be compatible with your cordless strimmer and save you a fortune!). Though with that all said, it’s not a one tool fits all necessarily. This in my opinion from extensive professional use, is one of the first tools alongside the cordless brush cutter that I prefer over petrol! You can see a test of what a cordless strimmer will do and just how quick it gets the job done at the link provided.

We’ve also tested the Vonhaus this year – I decided to push that right to the limit seeing as I am now recommending it ahead of the Einhell on budget: Testing the VonHaus 20V cordless strimmer on brambles – not bad but blew the blades out quickly Here’s a little look at us testing the Makita cordless strimmer on some pretty thick nettles: We are testing the Makita 18V Cordless line trimmer on grass trimming, nettles, thistle, and even a little go on bramble! It performed superbly on thistle, nettles, good old grass trimming, and I even gave it a whack on bramble – though that was pushing it a bit, simply because you need a strimmer with a blade for that, better known as a cordless brush cutter – or a professional petrol strimmer with blade attachment for any volume of heavy duty work. With that said though, budget Vonhaus aside, I have to say I am a keen advocate of the Makita. After testing the Ryobi, Makita, Bosch and the Terratek (edit: now the VonHaus too which is definitely going up the list after testing it and knocking over mid size bramble!).
