Which electric strimmer?

I've had two already and both were pretty hopeless. A Black&Decker one which kept snapping lines and on which the bump feed didn't work. The latest was an Argos Qualcast which lasted about a dozen lawn trimming sessions, had similar problems to the B&D until the motor vibrated apart, which was terminal.

So reluctant to purchase another until I know I can get one which will last and operate correctly. It won't get horrendous use as it will be just used for lawn edge trimming.

Pop in to your local Stihl dealership as they do a few electric ones and a battery one which will be much better than some. I've an old FSE 81 which is well OTT for simple border work on a small scale but it's bump head is very good and on par with the other Stihl brush cutters I use.
The dealer will run through the various machines for you so that you have an idea what to expect.

 

Dragging power leads after me in the garden is a big no no for me....IMO if you insist on a lecky one you most splash out a little as most of the standard/budget makes just dont cut it ,,,, Im a petrol fan so.........
