Advantages: Easy to use and light

Disadvantages: not that powerfull

This handy electric grass trimmer and lawn edger makes it quick and easy to trim and edge your lawn. Features:
- Dual auto line feed
- Plant guard preserves line and protects plants and shrubs
- In-line edging makes edging easy
- Shrubbing mode allows awkward areas to be tackled
- Adjustable handles gives excellent ergonomics
I use it every other time I mow the lawn just to tidy the edges it does a good job and is very easy to use, I have had petrol strimmers in the past and although they are better for larger jobs and thicker grass etc they are heavy and noisy and this is where the flymo is great the cable as always can be a nuisance for getting in the way.
It has a 500w motor and deals well with edges and grass but not to well if things get thicker but then again that's not what it was designed for.
It is adjustable and weighs about 4kg so is easy on the arms. My wife also uses it every now and then and says it works well for her and is easy to handle, so if that means i can pass the job onto her every now and then it has got to be a bonus.

Summary: Good for smaller jobs
