I recently bought my first strimmer, as I was fed up of uneven edges after mowing my grass. I chose the Bosch EasyGrassCut 26. Well, it was a disaster! The cutting line was supposed to self feed but didn’t, and in the end it was sucked inside and I couldn’t get it out. Are all grass trimmers like this? I have dyspraxia so maybe it’s just me 🤦‍♀️
I’d really appreciate your recommendations of budget and user friendly strimmers - thanks.

Tbh all the ones I’ve used are a bit fiddly with the cable feeder.
I use a mains powered Ryobi, it has a more powerful motor than your standard little B&D types, so you can use a thicker gauge line/cord. This it means it breaks less often although you still have to get it to spool out fresh line every now and then.

Thank you. I may well look into an alternative!
