McGregor 25cm Corded Grass Trimmer - 350W

Product Information

A. The length of the cables in the corded models is 8m long so you may need to buy an extension cord also The 350W and 450W models are not strong enough to take care of brambles or heavier type duty work such as denser grasses. You will need to choose the more expensive 600W model if your brambles need trimming. Hi Steve. Thanks for this comprehensive review. I’ve not heard of the McGregor range before although I have used strimmers and trimmers for a while. One of the problems I always seem to have with them though is that the cutting wires seem to snap often and it can be quite frustrating when trying to cut down some overgrown weeds, when you have to keep extending the wire again. Do you have any tips to prevent this or do you think I’m just expecting a bit much?My garden is quite overgrown so I might need to upgrade to something stronger. Would love to hear your thoughts. Gail Again, all of these items are explained in the manual, but a sneak preview is outlined below. There are 20 main parts all labelled with numbers as per the diagram below such as the spool head cover, cable holder, motor housing and line cutter. The length of time to recharge the batteries here would be considered as very long at 3 hours and in some cases, will take longer. Many other brands offer much shorter recharging times but do cost slightly more.

There is a lower level of warranty when compared to other brands who offer a 3-year warranty (1 year longer) The length of the cord is quite short at only 8m in our opinion. Other brands we have seen offer longer cords such as 10m and in some cases 12m long cords.

A short comparison table is outlined below to compare the 3 Corded Grass trimmers from McGregor to add further clarity if needed Feature: The smaller and cheaper 350W model is really only suitable for light edge trimming of fine grasses. Why not consider investing in a garden shredder as well? These are ideal when it comes to making your garden waste more manageable, crushing it into easily compostable chippings or mulch which you can then put to good gardening use! If your lawn goes beyond 8m, then you need to look at buying extension cords also which will be an added expense to consider. The auto feed line worked as expected without any problems and the weight of this tool is seriously lightweight coming in at only 2kg which makes longer trimming jobs more possible.

The flower guard gives a great guide to protect the flowers or plants you need and the rotating head gives great flexibility when you need to trim under garden objects such as garden furniture or benches. Cordless model worked only fitfully which I discovered was poor connection in wiring. 10 screws to get at wiring and re-secure connection. However failed again. Connection to battery not secured.The first main attraction is the low price on offer – if you are seeking the lowest price grass trimmer available, then you don’t need to look much further than this.
