Bosch 06008C1J70 Electric Grass Trimmer EasyGrassCut 26 (280 Watt, Cutting Diameter 26 cm, in Carton Packaging)

I assembled it in 5 mins and was ready to trim the grass. Lightweight and easy to maneuver.

I've seen this strimmer getting a lot of flak in the reviews here, and coming from a very similar strimmer, from my experience, its not as bad as they say... compact in the box, quick to assemble and reasonably cheap... the lines a little short, but its in spec, you get what you pay for... in line with other reviews, first piece of line broke almost instantly, but after pulling out another length, proceeded to do the rest of my approx 40m² garden with little issue, just grass and the odd weed here and there, one snap when I asked it to go through a chunk of bramble, but thats maybe asking too much...I've only used it once or twice, but for what i payee, just under £30 on sale, you can't ask for much more out of the box performance, its not a petrol weed walker, or lawnmower, its a cheap simple strimmer, and if the line you get in the box is bad, spend a fiver and buy something a little better quality, and a little thicker and it might not break so easily... how it holds up, time will tell but my last of an older model has lasted several years, and if I only get 3 out of it, its done well

I bought this product cause my previous way more exspensive electric strimmer broke downAfter years of usage. Tbh i did not fancy buying a +£100 strimmer for the amount i use it in a year.So i bought this one. My first experience while putting it together was bad. Its very easy. The tube exist of 3 parts press a button in the tube and find the hole in the other tube and it clicks together. Simple right. No. I managed somehow to push it so far in it just disappeared. Fine no worries ordered a return and got a replacement. And the second time after being more careful it connected. So that my only thing i suggest to watch out for. But when everything is put together is feels realy solid.I write this extensive review cause i really dont get all the negative reviews over this product.Yes the wire what comes with it is not as strong as a my 1.65mm wire i have in my shed. But i used the whole roll. Before writing this review. It doesn't disintegrate when you use it like some reviews claim. If used the whole roll now. And cut down very long thick grass. Thick weeds, Edging close to rocks etc. And it went all fine.Yes, it works way way better with a 1.65mm wire. So after you finished it and just put a 1.65mm in it. You should be fine. This product does the job. Even for his cheap price. For extensive every day usage i don't know. I just use it once every 2 weeks for about 3 hrs and everything it needs to do it does. I hope this review is helpful to some people to make up their mindsEDIT: i said instead of 1.65mm wire use a 2.5mm wire. That was a genuine mistake. I mean 1.65mm. A 2.5mm wire wont fit. I tried.Then you guys know

This is a great trimmer for the money, It’s quick & easy to put together & dose a great job I’m very pleased with my purchase ..

The grass strimmer I purchased has proven effective in trimming and edging my lawn. The lightweight design and adjustable features make it user-friendly. However, a notable downside is the persistent line feed issues. The automatic line feeding mechanism tends to be inconsistent, requiring frequent pauses to manually adjust or replace the line. This interruption can be frustrating during prolonged use. While the strimmer gets the job done, the line feed reliability needs improvement for a smoother and more efficient experience.

Only issue is the age old problem, wire snaps, but don't they all

Line breaks after seconds of use and there is no functionality to feed through more line automatically, meaning that the spool and cover have to be removed and more line fed manually after a very short time of use. It feels well built and as though it will be a powerful garden tool but the issues with the line breaking and an inability to feed more line through makes this unusable unfortunately.

Good product and easy to use. Good length of wire to reach all areas, lightweight so easy to do over long time.Slight annoyance that the stimmer wire can come out and go back inside causing the need to stop and adjust.
