About 36 V Trimmer

The 36V 2.0 Ah lithium-ion Strimmer is a cordless trimming tool with a 30cm cutting width.

Its high torque system goes through overgrowth easily, sparing you the hassle of cables and cords. It spins up at around 8,500 RPM.

The spool line is auto fed by the trimmer as needed, so no need to keep banging the head of the trimmer against the floor to let more cable out.

Telescopic handle and Eco mode switch

You can choose between two modes: Eco and Turbo.

The Eco mode is best for lighter tasks, while the Turbo mode will give you a more powerful boost when you’re dealing with tougher overgrowth.

Long lasting battery life

The Lithium-ion battery holds its charge for up to 18 months when idle. Perfect for those gardeners who don’t use their tools that often but want them to work first time when they do.

What are People Saying…?

Trims close to the wire

If you read through the countless online reviews of the 36V 2.0 Ah lithium-ion Strimmer, you’ll realize that there are not a lot of people who didn’t give the product a five star review.

Even those few people who had some kind of problem with it, returned it to the service center and continued using it for a long time after.

The majority of people thought it was a pretty impressive tool.

What they liked most was the fact that it’s such a lightweight and easy-to-use tool, with a swivel head twist that turns and easily switches from trimming to edging in a second.

The tool seems to be very popular among customers. They are quite pleased with it and it’s capabilities.

What’s the Downside…?

The only downside that some point out is the fact that the battery doesn’t last as long for tougher jobs, and although it can easily cope with larger weeds, it does not last as long on turbo mode, as it does on Eco.

There is an upside to this, though. The strimmer charges very fast, and is ready to go again in a matter of minutes.

The bottom line…

If you’re looking for an affordable tool that can be used both for grass trimming and edging, and is suitable for everyday use, then this is the tool for you.
