how so many people have rated this with a low score is beyond me! (perhaps they should have researched there specific needs first). I brought this strimmer because i have two small patches of raised lawns that are underneath fur trees and very awkward to get to and it works brilliantly. First there is the adjustable tilting head to help with almost any angle needed and then there is the adjustable length for those hard to reach places. The conveinience of it being cordless is great too. I like the blade system as i didnt fancy winding up spools of string as this is a common problem with most strimmers, however it would be nice to have the option with interchangable heads. The strimmer can be adjusted so short that it ideally places into my small storage shed. Battery life is ok for my needs but people with large gardens should avoid unless they have a spare. All in all i am happy and feel i got the perfect product for my requirements.

i had used many strimmers in the past find that art 26 is the best sofar.it is an expensive unit to run as the plastic blades keep breaking nevertheless it gives a good cut and find it easy to use.the strimmer is 18v but i use 24v with mine as it gives more power and it is easy even to get 2nd hand 24v as bosch batteries are inter changerble.i rated value for money 3 star as plastic blades keep breaking.i will certainly recommend this strimmer to friends.

The Bosch ART26 ACCUTRIM Cordless Battery Strimmer is a brilliant strimmer. Much more effective than the string trimmers and 10 times better than the terrible Homelite petrol trimmer it was bough to replace. The Lithium Ion battery on the new version lasts forever but IT IS NOT A BRUSH CUTTER! Some people seem to think that all strimmers should be able to cut through dense brush and brambles. They are for cutting grass and light weeds and, for this task the Art26Li is an excellent choice. Quiet, light and uses the same battery as the 18v Li cordless bosch hedge trimmer.
