My 84yr old neighbour usually does my plot front when he does his using the site Strimmer. I note he hasn't done his so also not mine, so thinking it's time to support him & buy a strimmer for both our use. I can't use the site Strimmer as a heavy old petrol one so expect he is experiencing the same issues.

I was thinking a battery one that comes with 2 batteries so we both have one charged if we want to do our front (neither of us have grass paths), & he has a proper covered caged storage area so the actual Strimmer will be safe & I can get a key cut if want access. Can you suggest one that is actually up to the job? I see so many cheapie ones in use on the site that pretty much make no impact & they are back a few days in a row to do the same little bit as battery too weak. But also folk say the batteries are too heavy in more expensive ones.

Any you can recommend??

Morning Westi, I think all the cheaper ones are very much the same, so just depends how much you want to spend!
The one piece of advice I would give if you do get one is, to keep the grass strimmed often and while still short….as the one thing they struggle with is, long thick grass.
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.
