Einhell Power X-Change 18V Cordless Strimmer - 24cm Cutting Width, Cordless Grass Trimmer and Lawn Edger, Includes 20 x Blades - GE-CT 18 Li Solo Lawn Trimmer (Battery Not Included)

I already had other Einhell tools so it's great I can use the same battery for this. It's also of the same high quality as the other Einhell power x-change tools and of course not having a power cable trailing around is a real bonus so cordless FTW! Easy to assemble too.The blades work well and don't wear out too fast (this is my first time with a blades strimmer). We have a 20m² lawn and it trimmed the edges of that without using much juice and it powers through weeds without worrying.It's really well balanced and light. Being 6'3“, I really like the extending handle and adjustable grip (which contains a handy blade storage too).

Pretty good. Went through 4 blades in less than 30 mins during first use. Very effective though. Probably just takes some getting used to. Used on a big garden around trees/fences/wall. Sorted out everything in about 30 mins. Lost a star as I didn’t expect to go through so many blades so quickly. Plenty left spare but will likely need to order some additional pretty soon

This is a great trimmer for the price.I've had it for 4 or 5 months before leaving a review.Its easy to put together and the battery arrived part charged so it was usable straight out of the box.Its fairly light and easily adjustable for height and you can change the angle of the head. It uses plastic cutters not the usual real of nylon chord that you get with most now.The plastic cutters make a huge difference and I have used the trimmer on an extremely overgrown garden and other than really think stems of brambles and ivy it went through everything else with ease.I really highly recommend this strimmer

Bought this little strimmer because I had to mow CAREFULLY between my newly planted hedge trees (2 years in the ground). The work was arduous (I am not that fit!!) but the strimmer was light weight and manouverable and managed to mow through LONG grass, thistles, docks... and I only accidentally cut down one tree (Oooops).Batteries don't last that long - I bought 2 bigger spares - and the little red blades also wear out- I used all the blades that came with the strimmer and about 10 more, but I cut 180m of hedge weeds and grass and the strimmer did a good job...

Arrived early, easy to put together, cuts edges well, went through two of the plastic blades as I have a lot of grass against wooden fencing

Easy to assemble and adjust, seems well made and is well balanced. Battery rather than wire this means less hassle both in set up and tidying away and of course no cables to move around when edging or strimming.It does not cut as well as my corded (but cabled) strimmer. But I will no doubt become accustomed to the cut technique as a strimmer. As an edger it may take longer and have to live with the fact that the blades quickly wear down and the cut is not as clean and easy.With hindsight, a corded rather than blade cutter may still have been the better option.I will update when more accustomed.

There's a problem with this Einhell Cordless GE-CT 18 Li Garden Strimmer.It's not the battery; I put that on charge after delivery and it took around 45 minutes to get to full power from virtually empty and it slots into the strimmer well. On first use, it seems to last quite a long time.It's not the weight; the strimmer seems to be evenly balanced.It's not the adjustable handle or pole; I can slide them into a position that suits me comfortably.It's not the safety catch or trigger; they are both responsive.It's not the flower guard; I've not used it yet but I can slide it in and out quite freely.The problem is the plastic blades. They disconnect from the little spindle at every opportunity and fly away, even though I make sure they are clicked in tight as shown in the operating instructions and videos I have seen on YouTube.Initially, after less than two minutes, I thought I'd caught the first blade on a thick stem or a concrete area and it had worn away suddenly. I checked where I had been strimming. No thick branches, stems or concrete; nothing that would kill a plastic blade. So, I removed the battery while I put a replacement blade on. Less than five minutes later, I was aware that the second blade had gone; the motor seems to rev up when it doesn't have a plastic blade in situ. This time, however, I spotted the plastic red blade lying on the grass a short way away from where I was and it was intact. I went back to where I lost the first blade and looked in the slightly grown grass on the edge of the lawn. And there it was, intact, in amongst a growth similar to which someone on YT had easily strimmed using an Einhell Cordless GE-CT 18 Li Garden Strimmer, just like this one.So, what's going on? There's definitely a fault with the blades or the spindle if they keep detaching themselves from the machine without hitting any hard or thick stuff. Yes, it was a relief that I found the two blades and that they hadn't suddenly worn away, as this machine could suddenly get much more expensive if I have to keep paying out for more plastic blades every ten minutes.I am now in a quandary... do I send this machine back to Amazon for a full refund or do I persevere with it and its flying blades? I need a decent strimmer. This is so very nearly a decent strimmer. But the plastic blades let it down. I think I will continue to use it (for now) and hope that the plastic blades problem cures itself, although I won't hold my breath in the meantime for that miracle to happen.
