I'm the kind of person who likes to enjoy all the benefits of a nice, well- maintained garden, but without actually putting in a lot of the work, as garden work holds no interest for me. Therefore, trimming the edges of our lawn with a set of garden shears is my idea of hell!

With the springtime showing signs of a hot summer, I bought this trimmer a couple of months ago, consigning the hand shears to a corner of the shed! This product must be one of the best purchases I have ever made. The powerful cutter makes mincemeat of grass and weeds alike, and the head can get into some reasonably tight spaces. The product is also nice and light, so is an absolute breeze to use, even on a red hot summer day.

The cable is long and well protected, so I can easily plug this in in the house and use it in the garden without the need of an extension. Someone with a large garden however, might find themselves in need of an extension lead.

There's little else for me to write about this product, it does exactly what it says on the tin and for a reasonable price.
