THE SLIMMER TRIMMER
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 May 2024
Size Name: Grass Trimmer 23 cmStyle Name: Grass Trimmer 23 cmVerified Purchase
Weighing around 2 Kg., this plastic and metal constructed strimmer was so easy to assemble, most of it having been done so already.
The hollow tubular metal arm arrives folded into three section with the power cable running down the middle; think of an elasticated folding walking stick/cane, usually for the elderly.
Holes in the tube allow spring loaded metal studs to click into place for assembly/disassembly (I recommend that the strimmer is left assembled.)
The plastic strimmer guard beneath slides, then clicks into place.
Opposite to the plastic rear guard, is an adjustable metal wire bar, which may be slideither nearer or further away from the strimmer.
This pushes plants away from the strimming cord beneath, protecting flower beds, etc.
The strimmer's cord cassette, simply drops into place beneath the red capped cover, that is in the base.
To open, squeeze the opposite marked sides together to release.
It clicks back into place.
Thread the cord through the hole in the axle assembly and adjust to the length required.
A two way switch arrangement built into the top handle, switches it on and the lower switches either side, keeps the power switched on during use.
Depressing the main switch shuts off the power.
The safety orange coloured flex/rubber plug, is 6 metres long.
Use an RCD device when strimming, sensible footwear and sometimes protective eyewear for those hidden bits of debris.
There is an adjustable lower front handle, angled to requirements, by depressing both sides of the handle's red buttons simultaneously; releasing them the handle clicks into a preset position.
Readjust until the best comfortable position is found.
I use this handle to hang the folded electric flex.
Easy to store, clean and use.
It's a classic well thought out, well design strimmer, competitively priced unit for these financially slimmer times; cut costs, not quality.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 January 2025
Size Name: Grass Trimmer 26 cmStyle Name: Grass Trimmer 26 cmVerified Purchase
The Bosch Electric Grass Trimmer EasyGrassCut 26 has been a fantastic addition to my garden toolkit. Here's why I’m giving it 5 stars:

Powerful Performance: The 280-watt motor provides plenty of power for trimming grass and tidying edges. It cuts through overgrown areas with ease, leaving a clean and polished finish.

Lightweight and Comfortable: At just the right size and weight, it’s incredibly easy to handle, even for extended periods. The ergonomic design and balanced weight distribution make it comfortable to use without straining my arms.

Perfect Cutting Diameter: The 26 cm cutting diameter is ideal for small to medium-sized gardens, allowing me to cover ground quickly and efficiently.

Hassle-Free Operation: It’s straightforward to assemble and start using. The semi-auto spool feed ensures the cutting line is always at the right length, so there’s no interruption during work.

Durable and Reliable: The Bosch build quality shines through, and it feels sturdy and built to last. It’s a reliable tool that makes garden maintenance a breeze.

If you’re looking for a dependable and user-friendly grass trimmer, the Bosch EasyGrassCut 26 is an excellent choice. It’s perfect for keeping your garden neat and tidy without breaking a sweat! Highly recommended!

Not a bad strimmer. Decent power. Yes, the line breaks - if you hit something tough - just like any other strimmer. However, the power cable is woefully short at only 6m long. Even if you've got a tiny garden you're probably going to need an extension. Also, there's a lot more vibration than other strimmers I've used. Ten minutes use and my hands are numb.

Cutting Cord breaks too often.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 March 2025
Size Name: Grass Trimmer 23 cmStyle Name: Grass Trimmer 23 cmVerified Purchase
My previous strimmer lasted for 36 years, during that time I bought only a few rolls of cutting cord. This Bosch device is next to useless, I’ve had it less than a year, but decided not to write a review last year as I wanted to see if it would work better with stronger nylon cord. The problem is that you can cut grass for about 30 seconds to a minute, the cord breaks, not so that you can just push the button and extract another couple of inches, but so that you have to dismantle the cord holding mechanism to extract more cord. The stronger cord does last longer, about 3 to 4 minutes before it breaks, then repeat the process. This makes the machine a pain to use. Technology going backwards. Luckily, I found my old long handle shears tucked away, so back to using those.

Improved design but still comes with some faults
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 October 2024
Size Name: Grass Trimmer 23 cmStyle Name: Grass Trimmer 23 cmVerified Purchase
Recently bought this 240v Bosch Easy Grass Cut 23 Strimmer as a replacement for the older model. There are some improvements in the design, the dispensing of the cord is much better and easier to use than having to tap the device on the ground to release more cord. However, the cord supplied is relatively weak and constantly needs refreshing, particularly if you come into contact with a sharp stone, concrete or paving stones. Having only used it for the second time l was very disappointed to find that the Spool Cover is severely worn and one of the legs has fallen off and rendered the device inoperative. This seems to be a design fault and crops up in several of the reviews. I will now have to order a replacement currently at £8 for a Bosch version. It is a shame that a well known and generally reliable company like Bosch did not fully test this part and construct it in a more substantial material to withstand the occasional rotary abrasion with the ground.
