It’s part of their one battery system and is a cutter/strimmer combined

The more I look at that, the more I like. Depending on which is in stock I will either get this or the Bosch.
Leaning more to this, both have blade attachments which I'm more likely to use currently, and both have good reviews.
In Boschs favour, the 2 tools I have can tackle a lot, against , the cord will be tricky currently.
Ryobi, the all in one system. I really like how neat it is, plus it's cordless, and despite never using the brand before it looks really good.
So hopefully it will be Ryobi, but depends on what's available.

Whichever path you choose I hope you’ll be satisfied, but as I said I’ve never used this particular Ryobi model myself so I can’t speak from experience. But I am very pleased with my Ryobi strimmer.

I'm happy enough with the GTech one I bought. The only downsides I can see, because I have a large garden, are the run time is only about 30mins and the recharge time is 3½-4hrs.

Neat already? You have to be joking. It takes so much effort for me to wind myself up to get the mower out and cut the grass, I'm totally knackered before I even start the job .

My back starts to give about an hour in, makes me feel ancient!

Mower? Strimmer?

I remember a lovely, warm sunny day many years ago when we were sitting on the (slightly overgrown) lawn, Marge suggesting that we should cut the lawn. Our young, five or six year-old niece asked whether she could cut the lawn, so I gave her a pair of scissors.

She was thrilled and set about cutting the grass with them!

Young children can be very useful.
