Product Information

Although powerful enough to cut long grass and weeds, line strimmers aren’t as strong as blade strimmers, and are therefore less effective on tough, woody material. A double line trimmer, it gives a fantastic cut, and thanks to its generous 30cm cutting width, tackles the job quickly and efficiently. Where traditional bladed lawn mowers can clog and stall when cutting thick long grass as they are unable to discharge the cut grass quickly enough, there is no deck over the patented wide-body trimmer head of the DR mower so clogging is never an issue.

We like the storage feature under the handle for the included spare plastic blades, which are bright pink and easy to spot if they snap off into the grass.

However, you’ll need to plan ahead for strimming sessions as the 18V lithium-ion battery takes a lengthy four hours to charge to give 30 minutes of power, though there are helpful indicator lights on the battery to keep track of how much time you have left. Depending on the length of the cable, these strimmers are more suitable for smaller gardens, but you can expand their reach with an extension lead. The mainframes are manufactured from heavy-duty 14-gauge steel making them lightweight, but incredibly strong.They’re also more dangerous than cordless strimmers because you run the risk of accidentally cutting the cable. We tested a range of strimmers, putting them through their paces on lawn edges, sloped areas and big and small gardens.

The loop handle is comfy enough to hold on to, but it’s a bit small so you get less leverage for angled cutting. They’re also far more common on brushcutters and petrol strimmers than electric or cordless strimmers, so you might not find steer handles on many domestic models.

Trimmers make light work of garden maintenance and are also useful for trimming the grass in hard to reach places.
