Within 2 months and 3rd time of use the blade holder aperture elongated which meant the blades wouldn't fit in. Therefore we had to buy another blade holder £12.99 . Apart from that the blades themselves snap at the least resistance when in use so we bought a new set £6.99 after the first use of this badly designed and expensive strimmer.
Don't waste your hard earned money on this piece of rubbish from Bosch.
This product will be fine if you need it to sit permanently on a desk as it is very heavy. Otherwise when trying to handle it the semi gloss surface means it slips out of your hands. In my opinion it's not suitable for normal domestic use.
