Flymo Contour 500E Electric Grass Trimmer and Edger, 500 W, Cutting Width 25 cm, Orange

Coupe bordure avec tête pivotante très efficace, je recommande

As people who know me will tell you, I am a very hard person to please. I also very rarely write positive reviews about things I buy, but this strimmer is genuinely so good that I felt compelled to write one. But firstly, just to get them out the way, there are two slight negatives: 1) The dead man switch is a little too firm to keep pressed down, and it does end up aching your hand every few minutes. People with less strength could struggle. 2) The spool does occasionally need to be manually pulled through. However, these are the only negatives I can find. The strimmer absolutely burned through our incredibly overgrown garden (the grass was almost a meter tall in places with weeds everywhere, tree stumps to navigate, big stones and bricks hiding underneath, and stone/fence edges too) and the machine didn’t use anywhere near as much nylon as I expected it to, and it easily stood up to every test. Whilst the machine is slightly heavy - and you do have to switch arms every 5-10 minutes - the results are certainly worth the pain! Genuinely didn’t expect the experience to be pleasurable, but it really was! Top marks, highly recommended!

Dual switch is rubbish. Having to hold in safety switch in order to press on/off trigger is silly (I have used strimmers for years and never came across this before) Also the on/off trigger is too sensitive, any slight release of pressure and the unit switches off. If using for any period of time this is a pain, also you will need a very strong grip to keep the trigger pressed. The so called auto feed is so badly designed, having to power off for a little filament to feed is pathetic and usually you will have to cycle power several times to get enough filament, having to wait each time for it to stop spinning. I resorted to manual feed as this is quicker. This is OK for very light use and short periods. If it was not so cheap I would send it back, will just use for edges and very light work. Do not buy this very badly designed and assembly instructions also leave a lot to be desired. I looked at a quick you tube vid and it was way more helpful than the printed instructions. Oh the spool cover cap has nearly disintegrated after a single use of edging along kerbing at the edge of the lawn. Had a Black & Decker for 5 years and never had this issue, cap got a little scuffed but that was all.

Sehr handlich und gute Leistung

Está bien pero el interruptor es de estados unidos y se tiene que comprar un interruptor que se adapte al de España. Pero a la hora de comprar no lo pone
