Below you’ll find my List of the 5 most popular cordless strimmers that have been sold in reasonable numbers and have also been left some decent reviews by the users.
I have added a comparison table at the bottom of the page where you can compare all 5 strimmers in one location.
This will allow anyone who has decided that the battery type of strimmer is the type that would suit them best, to see at a glance the various features of each model. Prices, battery type and the voltage of each of these 5 models can also be quickly scanned to save time going from page to page to view their various specs.
The 5 Cordless StrimmersThat Made The Short List
As stated above the 5 popular cordless strimmers that made it to this list have what we could term a bit of a track record. I’m a great believer in using the knowledge to hand before making my purchases.
That means plodding through reviews left by others who have had the experience of using these products. Another criterion is having enough reviews of each item that would give a fair evaluation.
There are no brand new untried models featured in my list, which is not to say that these are only outdated strimmers. I have also given some variations in the list, i.e. manufacturers, price variation and battery power as well as battery type.
