We have the trimmer bought last year to our numerous hostile lawnmower to trim points. After initial enthusiasm quickly came the disillusionment. The plastics exhibition version is my in my opinion a bad planning. They avail themselves in normal use much too quickly and after a few stone contacts the same broken (some stone walls). The plant guard is well intentioned, but can trim clean you thereby not. Quality and processing and battery can not complain (usual Bosch quality).
