Opinions on Envirotrimmer?

[alisonol]

Im looking at a new trimmer and wanting any opinions on the Envirotrimmer, its a cordless. Do cordless trimmers generally have much power?

Might be ok if you had a really small garden.

It says 50 minutes of use but I wouldnt go by that figure, going on every cordless tool I have used. Halve it I reckon.

My most hated tool is a cordless trimmer. Admittedly its a cheapie, Arlec I think, but it has bugger all power, the battery is never charged when I want it and always runs out half way through the job. It struggles to cut through anything bigger than a cobweb, so I bought a decent pair of very old hand shears and they're much better to use. Always ready to go, as quiet as any tool can be, and give a nice tidy finish after a bit of practice.
