Designed with comfort in mind, the Bosch UniversalGrassCut 18 features a V-shape handle that encourages a natural working posture. The telescopic shaft is adjustable to suit your height, while the foot pedal lowers the handle to get under bushes and benches. Finally, for stability when edging, a wheel supports the weight of the trimmer as you move it along.

The Bosch UniversalGrassCut 18 uses an 18 V motor and has a 26 cm cutting width. The IntelliFEED function automatically feeds the timmer line which saves you the hassle of doing it yourself. It comes with one 2.5 Ah battery pack and a charger. An empty battery takes about an hour to charge and Bosch claims you can cut the edges of eight tennis courts on one charge.

Overall, the Bosch UniversalGrassCut 18 is one of the most ergonomic cordless grass trimmers available. It’s also fairly light, weighing just 2.7 kg with a battery pack attached. This makes trimming lawns less of a chore and kinder on your back. Also, as it’s a Bosch, spare batteries and accessories are easy to find and reasonably priced.
