The cordless Thompson & Morgan 20v Grass Trimmer can tackle weeds, brambles, grass and features a 90 degree adjustable head If you're in the market for a handy tool to keep your garden looking trim, a grass trimmer might be just the ticket. Yimbly, the shopping marketplace owned by Daily Mirror's parent company Reach Plc, has a discount on the 'easy to use' Thompson & Morgan 20v Grass Trimmer. Originally retailing at £99.99, this means you can snap up this gardening essential for £49.50. The cordless trimmer is capable of tackling weeds, brambles and grass, and features a 90-degree adjustable head. Combined with its extendable length from 95cm to 115cm, this gadget can easily reach most areas. The Thompson & Morgan 20v Grass Trimmer comes equipped with an edge guide, a safety guard and a stabilising handle for 'comfortable and safe usage'. It includes a charger, charging base and a battery, providing 30 minutes of runtime from a three to five-hour charge, reports the Express. Amazon is currently offering a similar Flymo Contour 500E Electric Grass Trimmer and Edger with a 10 per cent discount. Now priced at £45.49, this alternative features an adjustable, steady handle with a soft grip for enhanced control and comfortable use. Bargain hunters looking for a wallet-friendly option might be interested in the Bosch EasyGrassCut 23 Grass Strimmer, currently discounted at Robert Dyas. This handy tool has been slashed from £39.99 down to £31.99. It's important to mention that both this and other similar alternatives are not cordless models. The Thompson & Morgan 20v Grass Trimmer hasn't garnered any reviews on the Yimbly website as of yet. However, it's receiving accolades on the Thompson & Morgan official site, with every reviewer giving it at least four stars. A particularly pleased customer gave it a full five-star rating, saying: "Great little strimmer. Lightweight and easy to use." Another happy user remarked: "Does the job brilliantly," adding: "Easy to use. Wonderful that it's cordless." A third chimed in with praise, noting: "Does exactly as it says. Very good operation and light to carry." An additional review highlighted the trimmer's convenience: "This trimmer is a Godsend. It is light and easy to use. The batteries which power it take only about 30 minutes to recharge, but buying an extra one to use while the other is recharging would be well worth it." They also recommended: "It is also worth buying some spare blades. The trimmer is good for cutting grass, including trimming lawn edges, and will soon pay for itself in saved gardener's bills in keeping the garden tidy." Yet, they did point out a limitation: "One has to be aware of its limitations, though. Trying to use it where a heavier petrol strimmer is needed to cut thick brambles or tough weeds will dislodge or break its little plastic blade."

The Einhell Power X-Change Cordless Strimmer isn't just impressing you – it's been snapped up by over 500 people in the last 30 days, with numerous glowing reviews to back it up. A satisfied customer shared: "I love this great little strimmer and I've certainly had my money's worth out of it already! I've used it on far tougher jobs than grass trimming while clearing a large area of ditch and rough grassland recently cleared of brambles and weeds." One customer praised: "I like the blade system and when a blade needs changing or replacing it's fairly easy although you do need strong fingers. I bought a second battery so I always have a spare charged up ready to use. Battery life seems long and they charge up quite quickly. I'm pushing 70 but find this strimmer lightweight and very easy to use. I'd certainly buy another." A separate shopper raved: "I recently purchased the Einhell Power X-Change 18/24 Cordless, and it is a very capable and versatile grass trimmer! This trimmer is incredibly lightweight and easy to use, making it perfect for tackling those awkward areas around my garden. "It is easily adjustable and very comfortable to handle due to its lightweight construction and size. One of its standout features is its ability to rotate for edging, adding to its versatility. "The trimmer also comes with replacement blades that are simple to install, which is a great bonus. It operates on a lithium battery that charges quickly and lasts a long time, allowing me to complete my lawn tasks without interruptions." However, one five-star reviewer noted a drawback, saying: "An excellent cordless strimmer but the plastic strimmer heads break very easily." A three-star reviewer shared a mixed experience: "We love this item, it was charged when it arrived and worked perfectly BUT when the charge ran out, my husband plugged the charger in and it immediately went bang, it tripped the main switch in our home and now the charger is dead. This means we have never charged it and now I have to try and find out what to do to have it replaced." But on the flip side, another customer couldn't hide their enthusiasm for the strimmer, adding: "Amazing technology. I bought this to replace my corded strimmer, which had the cord which kept snapping the second it touched anything other than grass. This one uses the blade thing, which makes very light work of even big thick nettle stems, small branches etc." They continued: "It is staggeringly light, the battery lasts at least twenty minutes of continuous use, and is very quick to recharge. Honestly, I'm quite amazed how useful it is! My only criticism would be that there is no safety switch. It is so light, it is very easy to switch it on by accident when moving it around. Other than that, I can't recommend this enough." For those interested in owning the Einhell Power X-Change Cordless Strimmer, click HERE to purchase.
