'Excellent' best-selling cordless strimmer comes with two batteries

It's that time of year again when gardens need a freshen up as we enter into the thick of summer. Perhaps it's time to cut the grass for a garden party with friends, strim off some overgrown weeds or tackle any mess in outdoor spaces just in time for BBQ season.

Many shoppers are saying goodbye to corded strimmers, as they are tired of dragging it about and being limited to how far the equipment can be used. Cordless strimmers, however, make the process of cleaning up gardens an easy experience rather than an uncomfortable, heavy duty chore. Now, shoppers in the market may be in luck as the SMILOVII 24V Cordless Strimmer from Amazon is down to £62.99 from £89.99 - saving energy, time and money.

Apart from being cordless which is a win for many, the brush cutter is also equipped with an upgraded 2000mAh lithium battery which can be used for up to one hour - meaning most of the cleaning up can be done in one go. It also features a range of different blades: two six inch metal circular blades that can cut branches and hard bushes, four six inch metal blades that can cut weed piles and thicker grass, and ten plastic blades that can be used to trim lawn tender grass or lawn edge.

The lightweight grass strimmer also has a 90-degree cutting head which means it is easy to deal with different angles of use. It also has anti-collision iron bars meaning it won't be destroyed if it hits anything hard like stones or a wall, and is equipped with an adjustable telescopic rod which can be adjusted between 35.4 to 47.2 inches.

If this strimmer isn't everyone's first choice, they could instead try some alternatives like the McGregor 25cm Cordless Grass Trimmer for £60 from Argos. This trimmer is said to be ideal for cutting fine to coarse grass anywhere. The angle can be changed on it and it comes with a flower guard that allows shoppers to cut right up to the edge of their garden while protecting their flowers and plants. Another option is the Rechargeable Cordless Grass Strimmer 20V for £59.99 from The Range which includes a 20V max battery, weighs a lightweight of 2kg, has adjustable height and 10 quick change blades.

Shoppers have rated the SMILOVII cordless strimmer a high 4.1 out of 5 stars from a total of 1,601 reviews. One person said: "For a small cheap strimmer this is excellent... This does the job in 10 minutes. No complaints at all."

Another said: "I'm really pleased with this strimmer tool. It's light and has several attachments for various degrees needed... I'm 75 and heavy tools are not good. I'd buy this again. It's easy to use."

"The battery ran for 45 minutes of continuous use," another customer said. "Good motor and I am very impressed for the price."

Some others shared opposing views on the strimmer, however, and rated it three stars. One person said: "It's a good little strimmer but the batteries don't last long which is a shame."

Another said: "Great wee machine but the only drawback is the lack of strength in the plastic blades."

For those looking for a lightweight, easy to use option, however, the SMILOVII 24V Cordless Strimmer could be a solid purchase to make.
