'For a small cheap strimmer, this is excellent. This does the job in 10 minutes. No complaints at all.'
As we are finally graced with another period of warm weather, many of us want to make the most of it by spending as much time as possible outside in the sun.
For those who are thinking of hosting gatherings for family and friends out in the garden, it is crucial to make sure your lawn is looking clean cut and presentable. While lawnmowers do a great job of tidying up the garden, there are always some pesky areas that the motor can't reach.
That's why it is important to have a strimmer amongst your gardening equipment to finish off the job. It's an added bonus if you have one that is cordless so the user doesn't need to be tackling cables at the same time.
Thankfully, Amazon has slashed the price of the popular SMILOVII 24V Cordless Strimmer in a limited-time deal. Normally retailing at £89.99, gardening lovers can now snap up this lightweight device for only £42.49 - better than half price.
Equipped with two 24V batteries, shoppers will be able to revamp their garden with the added peace of mind that if one battery cuts out while in use, they can simply switch to the other. However, this may be unlikely to happen as the batteries are said to boast a life of up to an hour.
The electric strimmer also comes with three types of blade so shoppers can select the best trimmer for different scenarios. The two 6-inch circular metal blades can be used to cut branches and hard bushes, while the four 6-inch metal blades can cut weed piles and thicker grass in more complex areas.

Product Description
On top of this, shoppers will be given 10 plastic blades that are ideal for trimming lawn tender grass or lawn edges. The strimmer also features a 90 degree cutting head for added ease of use, and a 150 degree protection cover to prevent any grass splashing.
Described as powerful and lightweight, this strimmer also features an adjustable telescopic rod that can be freely moved between 35.4 and 47.2-inches. This allows shoppers to have a more comfortable experience as they can change the device to their preferred length.
Amazon has also reduced the price of the Einhell Power X-Change Cordless Strimmer that comes with a battery and charger. This 18V strimmer usually retails for £89.95, but shoppers can currently buy it for £64.98. Along with 20 blades, the device has a cutting width of 24cm and a blade speed of 8500rpm.
Alternatively, shoppers can buy the McGregor 23cm Cordless Grass Trimmer from Argos for £45. This 18V strimmer comes with a flower guard so users can safely cut around their plants without causing any damage. Designed with comfort in mind, this strimmer comes with an adjustable front handle and a telescopic rod.
Back to Amazon's cordless strimmer, the device currently has a respectable 4.1 star rating from shoppers, with over 2,000 people buying the device in the last 30 days.
One happy shopper wrote: "I'm really pleased with this strimmer tool. It's light and has several attachments for various degrees of need. I have a robot mower which is great but lawn edges aren't done. This is great for finishing the edges.
"I'm 75 and heavy tools are not good. I'd buy this again. It's so easy to use and unlike the nylon cord strimmers this is easy to attach. At about £50 I think it's a good buy and cheaper than getting someone in to do the job."

Another five-star reviewer added: "For a small cheap strimmer, this is excellent. I only have a small area of grass so didn't need to buy a huge proper lawnmower. This does the job in 10 minutes. No complaints at all."
However, a few shoppers grumbled about the batteries, as one shopper said: "It's a strong garden strimmer, downfall is that the batteries last no longer than an hour. And takes ages for the batteries to charge. Overall good product, but the batteries need some work."
With another customer adding: "Really easy setup and lots of attachments. I have lowers from 5 stars as the battery is hard difficult to remove."
Despite this, one top rating shopper said: "First impression... felt quite lightweight but it all went together without any problems. Gave it a quick test with the steel blade and it was a lot more powerful than I expected. Went through some heavy grass like a hot knife through butter. Maybe not so lightweight after all..."
While a sixth reviewer commented: "This is an excellent addition to your gardening equipment, I have a petrol driven one but this handy little battery operated one does anything my petrol one does and more, especially in awkward places."
