Good for light to medium work
If you are just trying to keep a well organised garden in trim, this is a great little strimmer - not powerful enough for tackling overgrown bush and stringy weeds, but fine for trimming the grass on edgings and paths. A few other reviewers have complained about having to push the button to advance the line. I don't find this a problem really, just tap the strimmer lightly down on your garden path or any firm surface whilst the motor is running and presto, it's done - you'll hear a pitch change down in the buzzing sound as the line grows longer. No strimmer line will last forever, especially if you are strimming near brick edgings where it wears away pretty fast. By the way, the blade is there to standardise the length of the line as it advances. I've had experience of the brutishly powerful strimmers in South Africa ("WeedEaters" as they are called) which can easily severe a hand from an arm. One of these, this is not... but then we are fighting a bit of grass over here in the UK, not semi-grown trees and the occasional cobra!

Very disappointing
I bought this in April thinking Bosch must be a good product, it is not. The line runs out very quickly and has a tendency to break off inside the spool. Getting into the spool to find the broken line is a test of patience! - there is a fiddly plastic ring which defies logic how to get it off and on. Also the bump feed button protrudes from the base which retricts the cutting height. Not a recommended buy.

Review
Ok just to ket you know. I am repsonsible for qaulity audit's on these products for Bosch.

These trimmers are great, they are lightweight and easy to assemble. You may though notice some substantial vibration on some machines thought this is few and far between. To fix the problem (no mention of this is made in the manual btw) simply undo the spool and move it round to the next position. You'll notice 3 little arrows on the spool, menaing there are 3 different positions it can be fitted. You will be surprised at the difference it can make! Happy strimming!!
