EinhellPower X-Change 36V Cordless Brush Cutter - Powerful Weed Trimmer With Metal Blades- AGILLO 36/255 Solo Battery Strimmer (Battery Not Included), 16x113x35 cm, Red/Black

I own the Einhell 36v cordless lawnmower and the 36v cordless hedge trimmer. I bought these myself and I absolutely love them. I've had no gifts, backhanders or payback from Einhell for my reviews, this is my honest opinion having paid my hard earned cash out for them.We recently moved house and have taken the leap from having a small patch of lawn to having what I would describe as a fairly big garden. Having always used petrol power tools we wanted a bit of a change. Not an eco warrior thing, but because the petrol mower and strimmer were a real pain. Constant maintainance, filling with petrol and general time wasted keeping them running. I was worried that the cordless stuff wouldn't have the 'oomph' needed but I was way off mark.This brushcutter/scyth is seriously good. It was a doddle to put together, slotted in a couple of 18v batteries (we got them with the lawnmower) and I was off. Within an hour with the blade attached I'd cleared a sizeable area of patio and garden border that were completely overgrown with thick weeds and more brambles than I'd ever seen. It powered through them easily. We couldn't beleive the amount we achieved in such a short time with loads of power still left in the batteries. At no time did the machine struggle or the blades 'jam'. The tool sliced through the thickest brambles with not trouble at all.The machine itself is a substantial piece of kit. It feels strong and robust and has a satisfying weight to it. It's not too heavy, but heavy enough to give me a sense of confidence that it'll do a great job. I felt a bit of a prawn using the included shoulder harness, but in all honesty it's essential. The harness is completely adjustable to ensure that you get a good balance. In a short time I had the strimmer balanced perfectly so I was able to scyth through bramble bushes that were 6' high. Try doing that with a petrol machine!I can genuinely say that I'll never reach for my petrol tools ever again. A 30 to 40 min charge and the batteries are good to go for another hour or so reckless weed and bramble slaying. This machine is more fun than I could ever imagine and I hate gardening!!One thing I would add is that you should ALWAYS wear safety equipment when using a tool such as this. I always wear safety glasses but still had the occasional twig hitting my face so my very next purchase will be a full face cover.I can't recommend Einhell gear enough. For the money I paid these machines are oustanding. I will be purchasing an extra pair of the 4.0AH batteries at some point, but to be fair the charging time is quick and gives me a break to tidy up. All in all I'm delighted with these tools. My wife LOVES the lawnmower. No messy petrol, tons of power, quick and easy to get going. Highly recommended.

Superb piece of kit, well packaged not a lot of extra cardboard , other than the usual Amazon packaging.Very sturdy and easy to put together within 5 minutes we were cutting the brush, it is plenty powerfull very nicely balanced with the pivit clip on your hip, doesn't feel too heavy.Batteries lasted a good solid hour with the blade cutting some pretty heavy gorse and bracken on some very hilly ground and took about an hour to fully recharge the batteries.Great product competitive price and super functional but a small machine for storage but you can break it down pretty easily if you need to reduce size.Very happy with it

The strimmer is superb however, I have knocked a star off, purely for the line feeder is rubbish and break easily and disappears to the point of having to open it up and feed it through once again. However, the blade was what I bought it for and to cut through a heap of brambles that hadn't been touched in our new home for years and it did the job with ease

Pleased with the purchase, so far, easy to use, the brush cutter went through thick old brambles easily, strimmer works well and not too heavy. Good value

Product works fineFrustratingly, while the poorly written manual recommends that the M10 hex nut used to secure the blades to the tool be replaced after every use, no replacements are provided with the tool.Have now spent the best part of E30 on buying nuts from not only Amazo, but also Wards and Screwfix - none of which fit.Aside from a nice lady at Einhaell UK who passed my issue onto customer service in Germany, have had little or no assistance from their end.Very, very disappointed and would not recommend to other potential buyers as a result.

On the one hand this is a great bit of kit if you use it with flat blades that can merely be reversed. If that’s your intended use, you’ll not be disappointed.It’s got a lot of power and in the space of 30 minutes or so I was able to carve a 40ft path through brambles on the bottom 1/2 acre of my garden which I haven’t explored in the 2 years we’ve been in this house. On the face of it sounds very impressive and it is compared to a machete or loppers.I have been watching reviews for the Oregon Mulching Blade that has blades which curve downwards and mulch the much larger cuttings into much smaller pieces which takes it up a notch but alas that’s as far as I could explore.For reasons I can only assume are financial in nature they are incompatible with this machine due to the fact the blade rotates in the opposite direction and Oregon only machines a bladed edge for 99.99% of manufacturers that opted to all stick with the same specifications.This is utter madness and sadly loses it some stars.I’m disappointed as I had started to buy more Einhell cordless kit with the aim of moving away from petrol tools and also that Einhell have not bothered in any literature to make it obvious on this specification as it would have saved time.This flaw only came to light after fitting the Oregon blade as it really isn’t obvious while you are putting it all together that this is the case.The supplied blade has a layer of paint protecting it and so I would recommend sharpening it before use.The next gripe I had was with the harness and the instructions. The instructions are largely useless and the video is of little use either where the harness is concerned. Luckily the rest of the construction is fairly straightforward.Once you have persevered with it for a while it all holds together pretty well. The tool needs adjusting on the strap clamp to have it so the tool is comfortable and can be manoeuvred easily. The weight distribution needs to be such that all low level work is easily done and this needs a different setup for each individual so not something that will be right out of the box.On a plus note I didn’t feel that tired using this given the harness and an optimal setup. Even using it to level brambles at 6ft . Battery usage also was excellent.
