My M-I-L wants a grass trimmer to tidy grass around pots etc. at the
edge of our lawn.

She is quite infirm so she wants something as light as possible. It's
also quite likely that it will get little or no use so we don't want
to spend a lot of money on it.

So, does anyone have any recommendations (or otherwise) please.
There's a few possibles at Argos both corded and cordless, does anyone
have any experience of their own brand Challenge strimmers or the
McGregor ones?

What started all this was M-I-L seeing the recently advertised 'bionic
trimmer' which uses cable ties as the strimmer line. However looking
at reviews of this we have dissuaded her! :-)

GTech battery vacuums seem popular with older users, I notice they've started
advertising trimmers/mowers etc ... no experience of them.

I bought one from Homebase two years ago: ISTR that it cost £24.00.

It's cordless, very light, uses very light cord (which I have never yet
had to renew), and is (relatively) _very_ quiet. I use it for things
exactly like your M-I-L wants one for.

It's a Qualcast. It's very good indeed, all things considered.
