BLACK+DECKER GL9035-GB Corded Electric Strimmer Grass Trimmer, 900 W, 7000 RPM, 35 cm with Wheel Edge Guide & Adjustable Second Handle for Heavy Duty Weed Cutting, 3.2 Kg

Goodachine so far, working well,, the wire supplied with the unit is very delicate and breaks up veg fast. No blade attachment facility for hard stems to cut. The plug was provided can use only at GULF country.

after so may grass strimmer use and replacment, this strimmer work well but its attachment (BLACK+DECKER A6489 Pack of 10 30cm 2.4mm HDL Braided Threads Red Strong Durable Replacement for Models GL8033, GL9035, GL9035KIT, GL7033, STC5433) not found in amazon india. although amazon eu shows but its cost is 12 euro which is so expensive. and not found on its website also. Altough Machine work well and satacficatory. But consumable must be avillible

Excellent trimmer with a slight drawback. The trimmer line is too thin, I replaced it with thicker trimmer line and see the wonder.extension cord is pretty long which is very handy.i think it's around 20ft.value for money product. Robust build quality. Note that is not having adetachable head unit, so you can't replace it with other blades or head unit.light weight yet powerful. Note that this is having UK plug, so buy a small conversion adapter

The product itself works well, but the biggest problem is that important accessories like the spool cap and other spares are simply not available anywhere in India. Without the spool cap, it becomes almost impossible to use this trimmer effectively. I don’t understand how a reputed brand can sell such a product without ensuring that the basic spares are easily available to customers. Please make the spool cap and other accessories available for purchase in India. Otherwise, how are we supposed to manage using this tool in the long run? It feels very unfair to invest in a premium product and then struggle to find the most basic parts required to operate it. Until this issue is fixed, I cannot recommend this product to anyone in India.

Product has good power but the spares are too expensive compared to product cost.

Very good product

Machine is good. 900W power (is more than the power of a normal mixer grinder which is around 850W) is enough for grass upto 1.5 to 2 ft height. Only problem is with the spares. Just one packet containing just about ten odd 35mm long nylon wire strips with the locking mechanism at it's middle is provided as spare with the machine. This one enables two wire strands at the head. And if you are cutting relatively stronger grass, this perishes in no time. There are no spares available online. Then you will have to solely depend of the other single spool which reduces the cutting efficiency as it enables only a single wire cutting head. But this can be replenishmened with any 2mm nylon wire. Happy with the product, problem is the lack of availability of spares.

Works very good. For even novice user, it's easy to handle. Took less than 45 minutes to clear well grown weed in about 400 sq ft area. Regarding nylon string, it's available in any hardware / tools selling shop. Even 3 mm thickness is also doing good job. Use it in auto feed bobbin as it's cost effective and bother less. Take out the plastic bobbin and wind the nylon to resuse the same. For safety, better wear a helmet and protective gears to safeguard legs. It's a wired equipment, so be careful while using. Cable might caught along with the rotating spindle and get smashed. Always keep an eye on cable.

This is a really good and powerful grass trimmer that gets the job done quickly. It's easy to use, cuts through long grass well, and the cable is nice and long, so you have plenty of reach without constantly needing an extension lead. One thing I'd strongly recommend is buying safety glasses and sturdy footwear if you don't already have them, as they aren't included. I was hit by flying debris while using it and ended up with a minor injury. Wearing the right protective gear is definitely worth it. Overall, it's a great strimmer that's easy to use, offers good value for money, and has a generous cable length. Just make sure you use the proper safety equipment while operating it.

This trimmer is brilliant. I have a small/medium garden, slightly overgrown and it mowed through the edges like anything. Super powerful. No issues with the thread breaking at all. Very slightly on the weighty side but to me that's better than something lightweight and flimsy. Great buy

This is a powerfull strimmer, I would say as good as a petrol strimmer. It cut through long grass with ease and as others have said, if not careful it will rip into the soil, the single lines are very easy to fit and also very durable. I would have given this five stars if it had a detachable power lead, the symbol on the casing and some of the published photos give the impressing that the power lead plugs in. For me all garden power tools should have detachable leads so that they can be stored properly as in use they get kinked and twisted and need to be unpluged to get the kinks out and hang them up, I also feel the little edging wheel is a gimic and just cause grass clippings to get stuck in it, I will probably take it off. All things considered this is a good tool and works well albeit with a couple of niggles, i think this thing is poweful enough for any garden unless of course you want to use it comercially. Black & Decker take off the silly little wheel and fit a plug and socket for the power cable and you will have a dam good tool.

I got fed up with my petrol engine strimmer not working at the start of every year, and then not starting at random throughout the year. So I decided to give up trying to be macho and get a powerful 240v mains strimmer instead. (The garden is not massive and unsurprisingly I already have and extension cable anyway) There aren't too many electric brush cutters to choose from in the 900W region or above, or those that qualify as a brush cutter. I don't mind Black + Decker as you can often get spares. There used to be a shop in Leeds you could just walk into and buy whatever part you wanted, BRILLIANT. but I see most spares are still easily available online. This was a Amazon second, so slightly reduced in price but you would never know it had been opened or used in this case. Assembly was literally a minute or two with no tools or scratching my head. At the first use I was a bit disappointed that the 'strong' 3mm line only lasted less than a minute. But by using the longer 2mm reel line I did the whole job in a hour or so and used the whole reel up ! Job done. But now I have the weeds under control a reel will last months. It easily went through everything except the thickest bramble, which is understandable without a metal cutter. Turning the unit around to do edging was easy to do with one lever and has a firm click (SCHNICK!) as you turn the shaft to ensure a 180 degree fit. Swapping the line over is easy too, (turn it upside down with no fear of petrol spilling out) and if you have a moderate thumb grip to open the locking mechanism it all pulls out and you quickly replace it with another loaded reel.. I really like this strimmer and it does all I want it to. If I remove all the additional time and expense needed for a petrol strimmer I got the job done in half the time ! It has done the hardest cut - the first for a long while - with ease and I hope it will continue cutting with an easier life for a while to come yet.

Delighted with this strimmer so far. It arrived promptly from Big Red Toolbox and was easy to put together. It's a dream to use, feeling light and well balanced, with no vibration. I found it a little awkward at first until I adjusted the shaft length (very easy to do) to suit my height. So far I have only used the Spool line to cut thick spring grass. It cuts long damp grass effortlessly, and the Automatic Line Feed works well. Haven't run out of line yet, after a long afternoon of strimming. The insert line provided looks good for tackling tougher vegetation, but I haven't tried it yet. I have a lot of rough grassy banks in my garden, and I can now cut in one afternoon what previously took two days with a mower, hand shears , billhook and electric hedgetrimmer. (Yes, I was a Luddite, but as I'm now approaching 70 I reckon I should be saving my energy when possible) I've used a petrol strimmer before but found it cumbersome to use when working in resricted space, and of course it's a faff to start and maintain. This electric strimmer has plenty of power and is much easier to use and manouvre, altogether a great tool. PS Do NOT buy the Amazon recommended A6487 Insert line if you purchase this strimmer: it doesn't fit!
