After a period of rain followed by blazing sunshine the garden can grow at an alarming pace, including the weeds, and for most people that means a regular attack on unwieldy growth that makes the place look untidy.
Arguably one of the most useful 'weapons' in taming the undergrowth and making sure the edges of the lawn is neat and tidy, and currently one of 'Amazon's choice' products, has been reduced by 53% from £89.99 to £42.49.
The SMILOVII 24V Cordless Strimmer is extra-helpful as it doesn't require the wasted time spent trying to find an extension cord because as long as you remember to charge it the manufacturer says it can last up to an hour as it has two batteries.

The ease of use of this handy garden tool was not lost on one customer who said: "This is a fab bit of kit! I have a large garden and a petrol strimmer that I just cannot use when hubby is away. I was looking for something light and easy to use."
A range of blade options and two batteries are part of the package

Another buyer added: "Bought this as a replacement for a more expensive strimmer. Easy to assemble and feels incredibly light by comparison.
"The metal blades were fine for cutting down an overgrown lawn and I was particularly impressed with how quickly and smoothly the circular blades went through low hanging tree branches. It's much better than the more expensive one it replaced. Would definitely recommend!"
Alternatives to the Smilovii strimmer from Amazon are the McGregor 25cm Cordless Grass Trimmer from Argos costing £60, which 96% of the 53 customers who left a review would recommend to others, or for a more expensive model by a top brand B&Q are offering the Bosch universal 18V cordless grass trimmer that one buyer calls "absolutely wonderful" and is currently priced £139.
It comes with thoughtful features

One element of the Amazon strimmer that some customers commented on within their feedback was that the battery is not always long-lasting, with one saying the strimmer only lasted "10 to 15 minutes", while another commented that it is a challenge to get the battery out of the product. Importantly another customer commented that there is no brake so the blades keep spinning for a while after you stop.
The manufacturer's details state that the strimmer has three different types of blade – two six-inch metal circular blades can cut branches and hard bushes, four six-inch metal blades can cut weed piles and thicker grass in complex terrain, and 10 plastic blades can be used to trim lawn tender grass or lawn edge.
