Review: Brilliant and Highly Recommended! - Brilliant and Highly Recommended! I was a bit nervous to purchase this following the prior reviews however, having bought this Electric grass Trimmer, I am extremely pleased! This maybe one of my favourite purchases for the garden yet. I have recommended this grass trimmer to a number of people for the following reasons; Clear and concise instructions Easy to put together; the shield and cord are not attached during transport but very easy to do. The strimmer is self is auto-feeding which means the length of the cord is always the correct length (if not- the clear instructions tell you how to make it do it for itself). Saving me from having to mess with it every time. The length of the cable is long enough to cover most of the garden (10m cable, but I have a 60 foot + garden and this pretty much gets all over). The head swivels, meaning that I am able to trim the grass against the fence, then can switch to cut the edging of the grass, saving me from getting the long arm scissors out/ half-moon edger and doing this manually. It is very light weight and balanced weight, so it can be easily maneuverer around the garden without putting too much stress on your arms. There is a shield to prevent the grass spraying out everywhere plus a wheel to use for rotation, creating a consistent edge the specific distance from the wall/ edges. It is mains operated The wires are held across two moulded ‘hooks’ for storage Negatives: The auto-feed failed on one occasion, resulting in me manually feeding the dual line, but this is only once (I have had this over a year now and used it on lots of occasions still only one fail). The grass still can spray out even with the shield; wear long trousers to save little cuts on legs (from experience). Read the instructions on how to ‘feed’ the cord (basically switch it on/ off a couple of times until you hear a change in the sound). Overall; for the price a brilliant purchase. Saves time and gives a clean edge to all borders, light and easy to use. Lots of positives for this Grass Edge Trimmer.
Review: Lightweight and powerful enough for medium domestic use. Particularly good for lawn edging. - My 18 year-old Flymo grass trimmer recently gave up the ghost. The plastic joint on the shaft had snapped and whilst the motor was running as well as ever, it was rendered unusable. I did my usual research and decided upon this particular 300W version as a like-for-like replacement. The main selling point for me was its lawn edging ability and in particular, the design of the edging wheel. Many trimmers seem to have only one or two small rollers which I though may not last the test of time whereas this one has a large central wheel - much sturdier and more practical looking. It's performance on paper is slightly higher than my old one with 50 extra watts of power and a 2cm larger cutting diameter. It doesn't seem like much of a difference but in practice, is very noticeable. If I had reviewed this strimmer immediately after using it for the first time, I'd have said it was horrible and wouldn't have recommended it. It was a bit of a faff to build (mainly because I found the instructions to be poor due to the lack of text) and I ended up just looking at the photo of the trimmer on the box to see what it should look like once assembled. It's a wee bit heavier than my old trimmer - probably because its bigger but is still pretty light. However, the shaft flexes at the plastic joint and this means that it wobbles about a bit when you're using the trimmer to cut tall grass. I'm not entirely convinced of its longevity but we'll see. The main issue I had when I first used it was that when used as an edger, you have to strim from right to left. With my old one, I did the edges from left to right so found it quite difficult to control and had to work out an entirely new route around the garden instead of the one I'd followed for 18 years. This meant that some plant leaves met with an untimely end and the lawn edges looked 'less than linear' (a mess!) in some places. With my old trimmer, you only had to flip the entire thing over to swap between edging and long grass trimming but with this, you have to push a button and flip only the trimmer head over; a case of slightly pointless 'progress.' However, with an open mind, I thought that I'd gradually get used to this new approach and I certainly have. I'm 5ft 10in and find that the overall length of the trimmer is just fine and I don't have to stoop at all, especially when using it as an edger as most of the weight is over the large wheel. I mentioned the slight step up in specification compared to my old Flymo trimmer. The extra 50 watts makes this trimmer feel significantly more powerful than my old one to the degree that wearing PPE is a must. Even a stray bit of strimmer line pinging off can feel like you've been shot with a BB gun and will leave a 5p-sized red, painful lump on uncovered legs. It'll easily kick up small stones when you're trimming around gravel beds and generates enough dust in dry conditions to make me appear as if I've served a shift down t'pit. I'm exaggerating about that but a shower is definitely in order after using this! The extra 2cm cutting diameter means that the trimmer will do a better job of edging further down the sides of the lawn where grass can grow outwards. I'm not finding the rather flimsy-feeling leaf protector to be much use though and just take a bit of extra care around tree trunks and overhanging plants instead. I've had no issues whatsoever with the twine breaking during use. I've always found that the trick with auto-feed systems is to stop completely every 45 seconds or so and allow the trimmer to spool out more line, thereby preventing it from getting shorter and shorter then eventually becoming unclipped from the reel and having to be re-loaded. It's certainly cut through everything I've asked it to - and then some! I have about 300 linear meters of lawn edge to trim each week during the growing season and (now!) find that this trimmer is well up to the job. It's a mixture of straight and curved edges against soil beds, patio and gravel, with a couple of tree trunks thrown in too. I've included some photos showing the type of edging I do and the results I've achieved. This is a good trimmer, especially for lawn edging. It's more than powerful enough for general domestic use and with a bit of practice, gives excellent results. My only reservation is that plastic joint in the shaft and if that was sturdier and of a better design, the trimmer would be worthy of five stars.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: first time user of the 500E. after trimming the two short cords became long and entangled under the mower. can someone explain what has happened?**
A: One possible scenario is that the metal pin underneath the strimmer, that trims excess line, has broken off. You will need to replace the guard.

The most likely cause of the problem is the spool and ratchet was not set correctly. You will need to remove the spool cover as explained in video, then remove the spool, untangle the individual cords/lines and rewind them. Replace the spool carefully passing the cords through their individual holes provided and pressing the spool back in place. Rotate the spool until it engages the ratchet and stops turning, then replace the cover. If done correctly you will not be able to pull out more line without pressing the ratchet release button on the side. Once releasing this button, pull on each of the cords together until you hear the ratchet reset. You should now be good to go.

**Q: Does it have a two buttn start mechanism so it will not start accidentally when you pirck it up?**
A: No it has one lever under handle, there is a handle to carry it with, l have severe Arthritis in my hands and handle things awkwardly, but l have no problem with this and it has never started before l wanted it too. I hope this helps.

**Q: I put the plant guard on first rather than the edging wheel and now I can’t take this off. Any idea?**
A: Yes we did likewise-my husband had to use 2 knives ( to give an edge) to hold back the plastic grippers then I had to pull off the wheel but you need 2 people--this is rather difficult to explain actually ok?
Best of luck!

**Q: What is the guarantee period**
A: 12 months minimum, but register the product for a total of 24 months.
