Which is the best strimmer

Hello,
Can anyone recommend a good strimmer for our medium sized garden please?

I have spent hours looking online and I have looked at them in a garden centre.

I think I would prefer corded. I need to be able to cut the grass under the decking area, tidy the edges of the lawn and keep on top of nettles and weeds. I have had difficulty in the past with loading the strimmer wire correctly.

Thank you very much

Hi
I ordered something similar to this
48V Cordless Strimmer Grass Trimmer Electric Tree Garden Edger Cutter 2 Battery | eBay
on amazon
Actual one I ordered is no longer in stock on Amazon so that why I linked ebay. There are ones on Amazon but higher price
I am clearing a new allotment and it has been great- much better than the plastic wire strimmers I have used before. The metal blade is excellent for cutting down grass etc, the rotary saw for heavier areas including twiggy bits.
the wheels are optional ( they detach) but when on make it into a mini rotary mower

I have a ryobi corded strimmer that kicks butt, easily as powerful as the petrol ones Ive used. They do cordless too.
With tools like this, I always prefer to go for a known and respected brand rather than some anonymous Chinese one, where you don’t know what the durability and build quality will be like.

Please remember to check for hedgehogs before strimming.

I have a corded Bosch. Happy with all my bosch products and they last forever.

I have a stiga and it's really good , very robust and makes light work of nettles , thorns etc but I do have paddock land so need a meatier trimmer than a little one .
