Strimmers

Hi all,

Just looking to get a consensus on what strimmers people are using / why / and at what price point. I've had two go dead on us on the same day and it's given me a minor headache. 

Just wondering if there was any common preferences out there. For us it needs to be small enough for the smallest of fine lawns, big enough to cope with lawn rescue jobs (fortunately they're few and far between!).

TIA,

Jack

    Hi Jack

    Last year I bought an Echo SRM 222ES and have been impressed with it enough to consider getting a 2nd. We use on our domestic round as it's nice and light and doesn't take up much room being a loop handle. I haven't tried it yet but it probably has enough bite to handle a metal blade if needed. £200 quid from Nuneaton Horticultural.

  • I have been using a Tanaka I can't remember the make but it was about £500 ish. It's pretty good. I've had it for two years and no complaints. It doesn't get heavy work though. Hope that helps
