Bosch 06008C1J70 Electric Grass Trimmer EasyGrassCut 26 (280 Watt, Cutting Diameter 26 cm, in Carton Packaging)

I assembled it in 5 mins and was ready to trim the grass. Lightweight and easy to maneuver.

Recently bought this 240v Bosch Easy Grass Cut 23 Strimmer as a replacement for the older model. There are some improvements in the design, the dispensing of the cord is much better and easier to use than having to tap the device on the ground to release more cord. However, the cord supplied is relatively weak and constantly needs refreshing, particularly if you come into contact with a sharp stone, concrete or paving stones. Having only used it for the second time l was very disappointed to find that the Spool Cover is severely worn and one of the legs has fallen off and rendered the device inoperative. This seems to be a design fault and crops up in several of the reviews. I will now have to order a replacement currently at £8 for a Bosch version. It is a shame that a well known and generally reliable company like Bosch did not fully test this part and construct it in a more substantial material to withstand the occasional rotary abrasion with the ground.

Very good and powerful. Fair price

Only issue is the age old problem, wire snaps, but don't they all

The grass strimmer I purchased has proven effective in trimming and edging my lawn. The lightweight design and adjustable features make it user-friendly. However, a notable downside is the persistent line feed issues. The automatic line feeding mechanism tends to be inconsistent, requiring frequent pauses to manually adjust or replace the line. This interruption can be frustrating during prolonged use. While the strimmer gets the job done, the line feed reliability needs improvement for a smoother and more efficient experience.

Weighing around 2 Kg., this plastic and metal constructed strimmer was so easy to assemble, most of it having been done so already.The hollow tubular metal arm arrives folded into three section with the power cable running down the middle; think of an elasticated folding walking stick/cane, usually for the elderly.Holes in the tube allow spring loaded metal studs to click into place for assembly/disassembly (I recommend that the strimmer is left assembled.)The plastic strimmer guard beneath slides, then clicks into place.Opposite to the plastic rear guard, is an adjustable metal wire bar, which may be slideither nearer or further away from the strimmer.This pushes plants away from the strimming cord beneath, protecting flower beds, etc.The strimmer's cord cassette, simply drops into place beneath the red capped cover, that is in the base.To open, squeeze the opposite marked sides together to release.It clicks back into place.Thread the cord through the hole in the axle assembly and adjust to the length required.A two way switch arrangement built into the top handle, switches it on and the lower switches either side, keeps the power switched on during use.Depressing the main switch shuts off the power.The safety orange coloured flex/rubber plug, is 6 metres long.Use an RCD device when strimming, sensible footwear and sometimes protective eyewear for those hidden bits of debris.There is an adjustable lower front handle, angled to requirements, by depressing both sides of the handle's red buttons simultaneously; releasing them the handle clicks into a preset position.Readjust until the best comfortable position is found.I use this handle to hang the folded electric flex.Easy to store, clean and use.It's a classic well thought out, well design strimmer, competitively priced unit for these financially slimmer times; cut costs, not quality.

I ordered this just to trim the small grass from the side of the walls. Straight after I received it I just tried it to see it work, it worked okay (was only for 1 minute). I ordered an extension lead as the lead that comes with the product is way too short. I used it today, for 10 minutes (with breaks in between , every 2-3 minutes of use, as I was looking where the weeds are) as I was using it, smoke started to come out of the thing , I stopped immediately, gave it 20-30 mins to cool and tried to turn it on again but with no success, the product was making noise like electricity was trying to pass through but the little motor wasn't working.I thought for 24 pounds wasn't a bad product, I could never be more wrong. I don't recommend it at all. Thank God is still in guarantee. Going to send it back and the next one I'm going to buy I wont be stingy. I left pictures what I managed to cut( the insides of the red line) until the product broke down on me. Avoid! I thought bosch is a great company.PS: I saw other people complaining about the cutting line that wears off too quick, that was the only good thing for me, was lasting quite well, for what I did, I extended it only once, not bad cutting line in my case.

Good product and easy to use. Good length of wire to reach all areas, lightweight so easy to do over long time.Slight annoyance that the stimmer wire can come out and go back inside causing the need to stop and adjust.
