Bosch Electric Grass Trimmer EasyGrassCut 23

brilliant did the job realy great

I bought this product after 20 year of avoiding 'strimmers', and my experience has in many ways both been vindicated but also has also overturned my misconceptions. Consequently this review does not come down strongly on either side. I had read the previous reviews which suggested that the cutting cord should be upgraded to a thicker grade and I duly followed this advice. I have been using the machine for about 1 month, during the growing season in order to give myself some experience of using the equipment. Despite upgrading the cord, it can only be regarded as a consumable item, and you will need replacement cords quickly, because the usage rate remains high. The reason is that this type of machine is difficult to accurately target, and you will hit immovable and hard objects causing the cord to break. The inaccuracy of judging the cutting point is caused by the varying length of the cord as it wears, and variation of the edges in a garden. This leads to the cord cutting into the lawn surface, leaving cut marks in the soil. The inaccuracy and the potential for marking of a lawn, leads me to conclude that for small gardens and lawns with cut edges, the best results are obtained from long handled edging shears. The draw backs mean, that the purpose of the 'strimmer' should be more closely defined, if you want to have a tool which is 'fit for purpose'. My conclusion is that this tool is ideal for cutting longer grass, especially if close to a masonry wall, or other hard vertical surface. Regard the trimmer as a replacement for the scythe, rather than replacement for shears. However, remember that the very high revolutionary speed of the cord effectively mulches the grass and vegetation, and will stain any light coloured adjacent surfaces. The spatter pattern of green mulch can appear several feet away. Finally, remember to clean the grass mulch from the machine at the end of each job, it hardens and sets when dry, and will block air vents if not quickly removed with a stiff brush at the end of each job.

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.

Lovely

It’s ideal for small gardens, but I don’t think it would be sufficient for larger gardens. The wires broke quite quickly, but it still does the job to some extent.

Excellent strimmer, bought the cheapest one and couldn’t be more pleased with it. Super strong strimming wire that doesn’t break every few centimetres, very lightweight, easy to assemble and use. Perfect!

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.

I bought this product cause my previous way more exspensive electric strimmer broke down After 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 minds EDIT: 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
