McGregor 25cm Corded Grass Trimmer - 350W

Product Information

If you have just a small patch such as a 70 square foot or a 80 square foot area for trimming, then this little trimmer will do the job just fine also but with an item as low priced as this, the level of quality standards is not as good as the more expensive brands so you need to lower your expectations when buying the “cheapest” possible option. The flower guard gives a great guide to protect the flowers or plants you need and the rotating head gives great flexibility when you need to trim under garden objects such as garden furniture or benches. Safety guard and features a flower guard to protect your flowers and plants while trimming the grass. Have you ever used a McGregor Grass Trimmer yourself in the recent past? Did it work as expected or did you come across any problems that we need to be aware of? Was this review useful in any way?

The auto feed line worked as expected without any problems and the weight of this tool is seriously lightweight coming in at only 2kg which makes longer trimming jobs more possible. The 350W and 450W models are not strong enough to take care of brambles or heavier type duty work such as denser grasses. You will need to choose the more expensive 600W model if your brambles need trimming. A good reliable cheap option for smaller gardens and tidying up areas that the lawnmower fails to get cut in awkward type areas. It can also be used for smaller patches of grass that don’t need a lawnmower at all. The level of noise is so much lower than petrol grass trimmers and the weight of them is so light that it makes the tool easier to work with for longer without arm fatigue setting in.

If your lawn goes beyond 8m, then you need to look at buying extension cords also which will be an added expense to consider. The smaller and cheaper 350W model is really only suitable for light edge trimming of fine grasses. The length of time to recharge the batteries here would be considered as very long at 3 hours and in some cases, will take longer. Many other brands offer much shorter recharging times but do cost slightly more. The length of the cord is quite short at only 8m in our opinion. Other brands we have seen offer longer cords such as 10m and in some cases 12m long cords.

Hi Steve. Thanks for this comprehensive review. I’ve not heard of the McGregor range before although I have used strimmers and trimmers for a while. One of the problems I always seem to have with them though is that the cutting wires seem to snap often and it can be quite frustrating when trying to cut down some overgrown weeds, when you have to keep extending the wire again. Do you have any tips to prevent this or do you think I’m just expecting a bit much?My garden is quite overgrown so I might need to upgrade to something stronger. Would love to hear your thoughts.
