Flymo Mini Trim ST 230W 21cm Single Manual Head Electric Grass Trimmer

just used this strimmer as the long grass on both front & back badly needed cutting, this is easy to assemble and easy to manage whilst using, just remember that when you need to pull a little more spool line out as you strim long grass, make sure that the spool itself clicks in again otherwise the spool falls out and the machine cuts out. A test on the spool having clicked in properly is not only the sound, but also pull on the spool with forefinger and thumb only, to see if it comes off, usually the click sound ensures that the spool is in place again, however, double-check, check the spool itself to amke sure it's snug and won't come out whilst you go to use this strimmer. It's worth the money for this little mini strimmer, it did the job of both my gardens very well. Although you have to keep on pulling the line out every so often, i had to do this a few times and my gardens are small to medium size ( samll at front and around medium for the back garden). I recommend this product for it's easy use, trusted name and the cost of money for this machine. It does the job OK!

Nice little garden trimmer. My garden is about 15x15 meters and this little trimmer does me, i go around the edge before i cut the lawn. The cable is a good size although i need an extention. Along one fence line i have to pull the trimmer cord out twice as it shortens too much when i hit the fence. I ordered extra cord 1.5mm is what you need for the trimmer. It is pretty light and easy to use

Good little strimmer. ideal for small/medium sized gardens. Had one of these for almost 15 years before it broke, was well used. Surprised they were still on sale so had no hesitation in buying another. New one strims edges like a knife through butter.

Not as good as I expected. I cant seem to get it to work holding it as you would normally. I had to turn it upside-down to get it to work which made it difficult. Maybe it was just me.

This strimmer is great for tidying up at the end of the job. Its small size helps get into corners. This is my second Mini Trim as the last one lasted for over 10 years. Good value. Easy to use for lawn edges etc. Will not chop down a forest! Highly recommended for tidy-ups/edging etc.

I *Like* Husq. I thought I'd like this. No. Save ye money. It's carp. I have an electric chicken fence, see? Need to keep an c.8" clean strip below it. About thirty foot. It's only light grass and weeds. Stuff trying to re emerge After the glyphosate treatment. I envisaged switching off the fence. Lifting a bit, with one hand. Waving this little beauty under it, with the other. Ideal for the job, eh? Light tool for light work? Jesus wept. Know how, when a friend brings their adorable, yet uncontrollable toddler round, the first time? The carnage they wreak on ye room is 'Okay'. Bless 'em! Cute little thing. Oops! The bin? Never mind ...Few more visits and ye've had it! Mm. Started it up. 'Whirrr!!!' grass vanishing. Few seconds? Oh. String's gone. Never mind. Pull some more out. 'Whirr ....'. Oh! Hmm. String seems a bit brittle. Maybe I hit a stone I can't see? I'll just pull some more out. Make sure it's the exact right length. Whirrr *Clutter!!!*. OH ..... Mm. This is no good. Birds nest of string! Must be my fault. And so on. A thirty foot line took me over thirty minutes. Used up 2/3 of the line. Spent far more time unravelling mangled messes of nightmarish, brittle plastic knots! Best bit is? I was so pleased, *Eventually* with the Look of the strip? Time eased the memory. Seeing I'll need to re strim that strip soon, I sent for a pack of Four fresh reels. £16.00, I think? Too late to stop them. They'll go straight in the bin, when they ever get here. This thing? Just got it out, to tidy my back door spot. And that's it. It's going down the tip. I'm through with it. For gods sake, Listen To Me: Save Ye Money!!!

Good piece of kit does what it says on the label, only gripe is the cord is just too short for my garden, so I have to use an extension lead. 2 - 3 meters more would have made it perfect

I'd have prefered a heavier strimmer with a secondary stabilising handle on this. There's just not a comfortable way for both hands to hold it without having to bend forward slightly while using it. I'm 5 foot 6 and having to stoop a little to use this effectively with two hands did a bit of a number on my back. Plus, even though it says it's lightweight, it's not easy on your wrists if you use it one-handed like I tried to when trying to give my back a break. You also need a grip like an incel... 😂 The power cord is on the short side too. I managed to do the small front bit of grass but I have a medium garden and I know it's not gonna even reach my fence without a 10 metre extension. My 5 metre extension certainly wouldn't reach. I got mine via Amazon warehouse so it was under £25, so I'll probably replace it shortly anyway. Might give it to a short friend or something 😂
