Bosch ART 26-18 LI cordless trimmer + knife without battery and charger (18 V, 1.5 Ah, 26 cm cutting width) (tool)

Customer Review

First of all, I am already in possession of a PSB18Li-2 Akkubohrschraubers with 2 batteries (1.5Ah) and quick charger (1h for 1.5Ah), which is why I use the grass trimmer without battery and charger for 89, - have acquired, by now a three-time use I must also say that it definitely is not worth more money and I would be very disappointed if I had bought the complete package.

In particular, the materials used and the poor or cheapest and processing equipment I am not used by BOSCH.

Pro:
+ Very light and handy
+ Good speed and average power (thick skin even thistles clean away)

Neg:
- Cheapest plastic (anderst as the cordless screwdriver, the feeling has Wore a cheap China part to have in hand)
- Poor processing (partially entkratete plastic parts, visibly poor fit etc, no charge gauge ..)
- Partially not elaborate details (gap zwischem knife holder has ca.2mm air for protective collar, here is grass etc in between and if necessary the engine verkemmt safety button to trigger not ergonomic, longer working so hardly possible without hand cramps.)
- Knife very sensitive / soft, here would be a much more practical solution thread
- No battery indicator, but only a single cheaply LED indicating operation (only in fully by keeping the button pressed) and with empty battery - the same time as the engine stop blinking == ergo totally useless. The usual with the other devices charge indicator with 3 LEDs was obviously too expensive.
- Very high power consumption (minimum are 2 batteries, better three, or even charging breaks with schedule The batteries are empty faster (15-20min) as they can be loaded (60-75min) This is most peculiar bad, since one no charge level.. gets displayed on the trimmer.
- No German instructions or the instructions included an impertinence (At the back a few pictures, which it was)

Conclusion: I would not buy it again and am a bit disappointed. But obviously BOSCH must slowly adapt to the competition and also more and more expensive to produce cheaply.
