“Used this Strimmer with my existing 5ah battery. Unit comes with a strap to help with the balance, did not find it necessary but some may find it useful. DUR189Z strimmed all my garden without any hassle and saved me loads of time, not as powerful as my old electric but not far off, would recommend.”

“Ok, let's get the elephant out into the room. This trimmer is never going to be as good as a petrol equivaelent. It just doesn't have the same kind of 'oomph'. It is however, very good. More than enough for the average garden. It has variable speeds (be aware that it comes set to low-speed and it took me a while to figure how why it was cutting so poorly - no fault of the device and more to do with me being dumb). Once you have it on the right speed, it does the job and a single battery charge was more than enough to do our moderately sized garden. Recommended. Just don't buy this and expect to use it in a commercial setting. If you have huge areas of weeds, or large plants to strim, then go with a heavy-duty petrol brush-cutter-strimmer.”

“Easy to assemble. Nice balance and not too heavy. Lasts about 25 minutes on 'full blast' power setting which is what is required to cut through tall grass and nettles. Not quite as effective as i was hoping for.”

“GOOD LIGHTWEIGHT TOOL--GREAT FOR WHAT IT WAS DESIGNED FOR AND BEING PART OF THE LXT RANGE YOUR BATTERIES WILL FIT--NO NEED TO PURCHASE THE 6 AMP BATTERY IF YOUR EDGING REQUIREMENTS ARE FOR A SMALL TO MEDIUM GARDEN -THE 3 AMP UNIT WILL GO A LONG WAY-WITH MOST PEOPLE ALREADY OWNING 2 OF THESE--WHICH IS AMPLE--JUST REMEMBER- THIS IS NOT A BRUSHCUTTER SO DO NOT TAX THIS TOOL CUTTING THICK ROOTED BRAMBLES ETC.--LOVE THE 3 SPEED OPTION AND A SHORT REVERSE---WE ARE SPOILT WITH THIS TOOL--SUPERB.”
