Replaces an older version and there have been some improvements. The whole machine is more robust and more comfortable to use. Good value for the price paid.

Used it twice, its a good domestic grade tool. Great for tidying grass/weeds growing around hedges, bushes, paths etc. If you want to cut large areas of grass I would go for something bigger with a harness and handles, or combine with use of a battery mower. Construction is strong enough for regular use. Folding feature makes storage and transport easy, without significantly compromising the strength of the shaft. Cuts through long grass and weeds easily; I can't imagine it will cut thick bramble etc. The width of cut is good. Easily put together and bump feed works well. I found it easy to hold and manoeuvre; I'm 6'2", perhaps someone a lot smaller may find it hard to balance the tool as the length of the shaft can't be changed. Battery life is as I would expect. A 5AH lasts about 20 minutes. Comes with a good line, but I've yet to find out how fiddly fitting new is. I would recommend, but be realistic - some of the reviews appear to expect a contractor grade tool for £125.

This Strimmer is built to the usual high standards that you would expect from DEWALT. I would highly recommend this machine to any professional landscaper , you can’t go wrong with this unit. PLUS POINTS. This a well constructed tool with improvements made to the box section shaft and heavy duty hinge that allows the unit to fold to halfsize. Great for putting into car or hanging in restricted space. Loads of power to drive the motor no matter how thick the grass is. Very easy loading of cord into spool, compared to other manufacturers. Good battery life. I used 5amp batteries and was getting 20 minutes plus from each one but this time will vary depending on the type of grass or brush you are cutting. .NEGATIVE POINTS This unit is not heavy but I found it awkward to hold and guide. For me it would be better if it had a harness of some description. (It may just be me, I am 78 years old) I don’t have a big garden and the reason I bought this unit is my workshop is like a DEWALT showroom. I have a comprehensive range of XR equipment, so it kinda made sense to buy this Strimmer. I use it not for cutting the grass but for edging and it is very difficult to gauge where the cord is going to cut. There is not a metal guide which many Strimmers have, which helps you visualise a cutting line. This unit is designed for use in larger areas and not built for neat precise cutting. Hence I have given it 3stars, not due to the quality of the Strimmer, which is excellent, but to highlight it may not be suitable for everyone. My feelings are I bought the wrong machine but unfortunately DEWALT only make one model of Strimmer so I had no choice by trying to stick to my favourite brand.
