Better than expected.
As a time served craftsman gardener, I tend to know a good tool from a bad one. I was wary about this cordless trimmer. The reviews looked OK but the low price worried me. Yes. I like a bargain, but at the same time, I didn't want to buy a turkey.
First things first. 2 year guarantee and I've only thus far, used the trimmer for an hour, but I can tell you it's money well spent. It's got a longer blade than I imagined, but that's good because the trimmer isn't heavy. At the same time, the build quality is good. Remember to oil the blade before use and oil again after as this will prolong the sharpness of the blade and trimmer motor. Don't use WD40. it's a penetrant, not a lubricant. Use light spray oil by all means, or a small paintbrush and grease. The cut was very good, much better than I imagined. It won't cut tree branches, or anything too thick, but generally, it trims very well, most things. I bought 2 batteries. buy 2 batteries yourself. I used the first battery for 40 mins and it was still doing well. I changed batteries anyway and did a further 20 mins. Well pleased with the results. Make sure you charge both batteries to the maximum before you put the trimmer away. These batteries are best stored full. Don't forget.
Yes, I would recommend this cutter and I'm pretty happy with it.
