Bosch not what it used to be
This strimmer doesn't work. I bought it because it is made by Bosch, a brand I admire, and I already had another Bosch device (a blower) with a compatible 36v battery. But I spent more time fighting with the line release mechanism than I did actually strimming. For every 10 or 20 seconds of actual strimming I would spend another 3 or 4 minutes taking the line reel/cassette off, freeing up the line, rewinding it back onto the reel, fiddling it through the holes and getting the cassette cap back on.
It was totally frustrating. I watched the video where the guy is up to his chest in grass and weeds, all of which he just strims away with a casual sweeping motion. Nothing I experienced was remotely like that. I would start the strimmer, touch it to the grass/weeds and that was it. The line snapped off at the holes and when I opened the cassette, the line was jammed in the reels and couldn't be unwound without considerable effort.
The cassette/reel line release design just isn't fit for purpose and trying to use it will drive you mad. Buy something else.
