Amazon's bestselling strimmer hits sale for less than £30
Time to get those gardens ship shape
It's officially summer, and it's the time of year again when gardens need a bit of a freshen-up. Perhaps it's time to cut the grass for a garden party, strim off some overgrown weeds, or tackle any mess in outdoor spaces just in time for BBQ season.
Long gone are the days of dragging a corded strimmer around and being limited to how far the equipment can be used. Cordless strimmers are on the rise as more people want tidying their gardens to be an enjoyable, easy experience rather than a heavy-duty chore. Now, shoppers can grab the 21V Cordless Strimmer, Telescopic Lightweight Grass Trimmer from Amazon for £29.72, down from £37.82.
This electric strimmer has two six-inch metal circular blades that can cut branches and hard brushes, while ten other six-inch metal blades can cut weed piles and thicker grass areas. It is also equipped with an adjustable telescopic rod that can be adjusted between 33 and 47.2 inches to the appropriate length according to different environments.
The lightweight 2.5kg strimmer also has an adjustable cutting head for different angles of use, and anti-collision iron bars to ensure shoppers don't worry about the strimmer getting damaged if it touches anything hard or concrete. The strimmer is equipped with an upgraded 1500mAh lithium battery, which can be used for one hour, meaning shoppers can hopefully get everything done in one go.
It comes with a number of additional accessories including two lithium batteries, one quick charger, one wrench, one set of gloves, goggles and a handle, one grass guard, one pressure plate screw, a retractable tube interface and one gasket.
If this strimmer isn't for everyone, there are a number of alternatives to choose from, such as the VonHaus 1000W 2 in 1 Grass Trimmer & Brush Cutter for £84.99 from Debenhams, which is said to be ideal for neatening edges around lawns, fences, decking and more. It's not cordless but has a long 10m cable for easy movement around the garden. Another option is the Bosch EasyGrassCut 26 280W Corded Grass trimmer for £35 from B&Q which is lightweight, powerful, strong and durable for lasting results.
The Amazon strimmer has been rated 4.8 out of 5 stars on Amazon, however. One person said: 'Actually really good, very surprised by the quality and the lightness of it. Spare blades, easy to put together. Great value and excellent quality.'
Another wrote: 'Excellent product. Easy assembly.'
'This strimmer is brilliant. I watched the video which was very easy to assemble. There are lots of different blades which made it easy for me to cut back tress scrubs and remove weeds and dandelions from my lawn. If I can do it, anyone can use this strimmer. It's not heavy. I am a pensioner and I did not struggle with it. I don't need a gardener anymore, very pleased and impressed with my purchase,' said another.
Some left opposing reviews on the product, as one person said: 'Okay for the amount.'
Another said: 'Excellent at the price for light use - but use with care.'
For an affordable strimmer, the could be an ideal, quality buy.
