Best Grass Trimmers of 2026

Bosch's mid-range corded trimmer with 26 cm cutting width — enough to clear typical UK lawn edges in a few passes. 280 W motor, adjustable handle for ergonomic grip, edger mode via pivot head. The corded reach (10 m lead) covers most small-to-medium gardens with an extension.

Flymo is a Husqvarna-owned UK brand with strong dealer/parts support nationwide. The Contour 500E is a 500 W corded trimmer with double-line spool, edger conversion and shoulder strap. Genuine workhorse for larger gardens at mid-budget pricing.

Bosch's smaller corded trimmer — same 280 W motor as the EasyGrassCut 26 but with a narrower 23 cm cutting width. Lighter, easier to manoeuvre in tight spaces, and roughly £10-£15 cheaper than the 26 cm version. Right for small gardens.

Flymo's entry-level Contour XT — 350 W, 25 cm cutting width, edger conversion. Cheaper sibling to the Contour 500E with less raw power but easier handling. Sub-£40 budget.

Cordless strimmer with optional wheel attachment for ergonomic ground-clearance. Useful for users with back issues who find traditional strimmers tiring to hold for 20+ minutes. Generic brand with strong UK review pattern.

Generic 21V cordless with a twin-line cutting head (two strands at once). Twin-line delivers slightly cleaner cuts than single-line, particularly through heavier grass. Mid-budget category at sub-£35.

Sub-budget generic 21V cordless — fine for absolute occasional use (touching up between mows once a fortnight). Don't expect long-term durability; treat as a 2-year tool.

NETTA's 2-in-1 — hedge trimmer blades swap with grass-shear blades. Useful for small-job users who need both functions occasionally but don't want two separate tools. Cordless, ultra-compact, sub-£25 budget.
