“Very Poor”

Written on: 02/08/2012

I've always liked Bosch products but this piece of kit lets them down badly. The heavy duty strimming spool shears off instantly and is ineffectual.

Written on: 06/04/2010

I bought it (Bosch ART26) before I read the online reviews which would've put me off. I bought it to do a large patch of grass we call a lawn which is lumpy and full of coarse grass tufts and ivy, and it coped really well, using the heavy duty line. Aim it down at a sort of angle and you can even cut through to the soil to break up big clumps. I accidently chopped off a staghorn sumac sucker too :( but I'm still on the same piece of string 30mins later :). Having said that, the instruction... (read more)
