I ordered the trimmer due to the many positive reviews after hours of research on the other items. I am not working as a woman in a position with a heavy brush cutter, but wanted to still deal with nettles and taller grass around the house and pasture: GOING! I am very satisfied with the device: nice and light, not so loud, powerful, little vibration and easy to adjust on their own physical needs. Tired of the right arm, you can hold the device equally well with his left hand, very pleasant. Fear I had that "is a toy". That is not the case. Small Weed areas you can easily cope with, lawn anyway. For larger weed fields are required evt. A real brush cutter ... with all the drawbacks that this entails. This is then times Männersache ... I am happy with the battery life, like working in stages. No costly maintenance, no cable, no smell. One more recommendation: do not order cheaply at mo .......... m, which brings nothing but trouble!
