BLACK+DECKER Electric Strimmer 450W, 24V, Corded, Automatic Single Line Feed, Cutting Width 25cm, BESTA525-GB

Absolutely brilliant strimmer My garden was almost waist high when we started it took us 4 days to clear it and now I have a lovely garden that's all flat and short. I cannot praise this item enough. Plus side too I didn't have to change the strimming wire at all. My garden is big as well. So this would be perfect for any medium size garden you have. It cuts fantastic I'm over the moon with it. Pictured above my garden cut after clearing away 3 and half foot tall grass and weeds. The strimmer just glided threw It all.

When I assembled the strimmer I thought it looked different to the one I ordered. Realised my error I still got a bargain but imagine my surprise.... Bank Holiday weekend £51.45 to be reduced to £43 as soon as the bank holiday as finished. If I had not assembled it I would send it back in principle. OK ok I know it was my fault but beware and do not what I did.... Shop around. The product itself is OK and can not complain about that... Easy to assemble and seems solid. Now used it and it is not bad. My previous strimer was double string at this is single but coped well my needs. The rest I put down to Experience

I cant believe how simple this is to use, im a 66 year old with arthritis and i strimmed all of my overgrown garden in around 5-10 minutes. The weeds/grass was waist high and it took them down. The only thing i dont like about it is that the lead is not very long at all, luckily I had an extension reel which i plugged it into. Yes im very happy with my purchase.

Powerful, lightweight, good quality.

I had a two cutter strimmer witch I could never get on with ,the times when it would jam up and take me 10 mins to sort out the wire ,so I bought a Black & Decker single cut strimmer what a difference much much better no hassel,great strimmer .

Very disappointed as I feel I was misled by the reviews on this page. Most of them are for much more powerful strimmers than the 450W, which is the one I bought. So I spent some time looking for missing components (e.g. edging wheel) only to discover that this wasn't available on the 450W. Also not as powerful as I expected- having read the reviews for the 700W and 900W! Overall it does the job of strimming ordinary grass satisfactorily. Had to spend some time on tougher clumps. Felt the edging was difficult to control. Maybe the wheel would have made an improvement. Make sure you have some spare line as to seems to get used up fairly quickly (automatic feed).

This strimmer was a very good buy easy to assemble although found the handle a little hard to fix on ,the wire didn't break on the first time using ,it I thought it was worth the money.

Haven't owned a strimmer before this one but this does a great job. Grass on the borders be gone. Should have got one sooner. We were cutting our borders with scissors before this. Makes light work of grass and weeds. Is very durable as well. Haven't even had to change the plastic strimmer part after 4 months of use.
