    can anyone comment on their experiences with this? I have the grass trimmer with the plastic blades but it's not very convenient for lawn edging, particularly when they go fly off if you hit the pavers to hard.

    • M4N6K1 on 20/12/2022 - 15:43

      Don’t have a trimmer yet but I’ve read line trimmers are better than the blade versions. I’ve had this on my watch list for a while so will finally buy one now that it’s on sale (was about to buy the skin version this week but thanks to the OP for bringing this kit to my attention!) I’ve got the 2 x 18v mower plus the 18v edger - they work well to maintain a small/medium area so hoping this trimmer will tidy up what the mower can’t get to

      • Tiggrrrrr on 20/12/2022 - 17:34

        Not on sale. Standard price.
        If you already have the green Bosch batteries, may be better off getting the Bosch skin (about $100).

      • NotSpanky on 21/12/2022 - 01:08

        Can't comment on the bladed version beyond all the terrible reviews in various threads here.
        Which were enough to force me to stick with the corded trimmer version even my old unit broke a couple of years ago. Still works a treat and easily cut through thick Buffalo including edging.
        Would have liked to go cordless of course, but at the time would have had to switch to another brand and battery set. Certainly would have considered this if available, although expect lower power, single line instead of two and thinner line. So trimming performance likely lower than the corded version.

    • everyone on 20/12/2022 - 15:46

      Yep, or the end that attaches to the rotating head starts melting off and the whole thing flies off.

      You can cut off about 10cm of trimmer lines then melt one end to form a bulb, cool it off and stick it in the hole on the rotating head. It's a pain in the butt, so you might be better off buying something else.

      • pichxlonco on 20/12/2022 - 16:08

        there is a tutorial online on how to do it i an easier way, or even provides an attachment that can be 3D printed to turn the blade version into a line one

      • xmail on 21/12/2022 - 11:40

        Given that you normally feed out more line every few minutes I can't see this being practical.

      I bought this for the battery last year, it is terrible at cutting anything thick, like buffalo or Kik. The blades dig into the ground very easily.

        Have you used the eBay ones yet? They made my life hell. Broke into pieces and snapped off at the slightest touch of something thinner than a blade of grass. Went through like 10+ blades each time on my medium sized lawn. Not worth the savings (with the ones I received)

        • Agent Q on 21/12/2022 - 18:15

          yes, ebay ones in my experience are terrible. would be happy to hear if anyone has experience with similar ones that are actually good (beside ozito original)

          • cyssero on 03/01/2023 - 14:28

            @Agent Q: I've used the Bosch replacements, found online, fit perfectly and seem to be slightly better than the original - certainly cheaper.

    • desync on 20/12/2022 - 18:24

      so much better than messing around with line.. that stuff is a pain to install and adjust and probably more expensive than the blades

      people have problems with blades flying off but that only happens if persist while the machine is bogging down… if you avoid that you'll only need to replace them when they're grinded down.. more convenient to replace the blades too - line often gets tangled or caught in the spool, real pain in the ass

      I have this. It's powerful but a few cons. The bump feed sometimes gets stuck. The wrist of the trigger hand has to be bent at an uncomfortable angle. It's heavy and not well balanced, so aches and pain if I use it for anything other than a quick trim. Forget about doing edging with it

    • scphotos on 20/12/2022 - 16:01

      I also can't recommend this. The ergonomics are horrid. I get pain in my wrists just thinking of it.

      • Agent Q on 20/12/2022 - 16:02

        So if you had your time again, I assume you would go for the 18v version based on weight and ergonomics alone?

        • scphotos on 20/12/2022 - 16:09
          +1

          Dunno. I haven't seen this is stores.

          It was either the 18v with blades (which I returned) or the 2x 18v which I have but hate.

          I'll probably return and go Ryobi + battery adaptor as the one+ felt really nice in-store.

          • Navanod66 on 20/12/2022 - 16:41

            @scphotos: Me neither, never seen the single 18V line version. When I was looking, it's the plastic blades nonsense, or this monster 2 x18V.
            I'm very tempted to get the EGO telescopic line trimmer now even with the crazy cost.
            $400, but no more pains and auto line loading sounds cool

              @Navanod66: I have the 2x18v as mentioned above its a bit of an annoying monster. Got it cheap, so its been OK, but its not fun to use. However this 18v one has an adjustable head which is my biggest problem with the 2x18v lacking it. If i see this in store i might buy it.

              • Navanod66 on 20/12/2022 - 17:04

                @sidoz: Yes! It's impossible to edge with the 2x18V. I eventually got the dedicated Ozito edger and it's a life saver.

                • sidoz on 20/12/2022 - 17:11
                  +1

                  @Navanod66: Depends what kind of edging. It's fine for all my backyard edging (well, besides the bad ergonomics) but yes for edging a channel along a footpath etc very impractical. I still use it to tidy up with and only bring out the Ozito edger when really needed. I probably should use it more often.

        • bchliu on 20/12/2022 - 17:33

          I bought this one in a kit last time that also had the hedger head and the mini chainsaw. Must say, the 36v makes a difference in those heads. I recently used the chainsaw head to cut up half a tree that snapped off in the recent gales of wind and works well.

          But agree that the ergonomics suck on this as it's heavy (two batteries instead of one) and very long (though that helps with the other accessories including the extender to put the heads on.

  • XedeX on 20/12/2022 - 15:56

    Whats the difference between ozito and ozito pxc ? Any idea ?

    • RandomBob84 on 20/12/2022 - 15:59

      pxc stands for Power Ex Change. Essentially Einhell Power Exchange products that have multiple tools that take the same battery. Much like ryobi one+

    • ZT on 20/12/2022 - 15:59

      PXC denominated the series of 18v battery powered tools that interchange with each other.

      Ozito also has some 12v battery powered tools but they can't be used with these

    • whitelie on 20/12/2022 - 16:00
      +1

      PXC is their 18v platform.
      The grey Ozito is their "home" series, which is even more light duty than the PXC stuff

  • shipo on 20/12/2022 - 15:59

    I have also same problem with plastic blade - bosch art line 26 it does not trim very well.
    I am still deciding whether to buy another battery power or straight to petrol power which definitely will do better.

  • burp on 20/12/2022 - 15:59

    Noticed this line trimmer only has 1 line instead of the usual 2. Not sure if it makes much difference?

    • bio on 20/12/2022 - 16:06
      +1

      Technically it will cut twice as slow because you will hit the grass 8,000 times a minute (8000 rpm) instead of 16,000. In practice the difference may not be as drastic because the motor will slow down every time the line hits something, but two lines will still cut faster.

    • whitelie on 20/12/2022 - 16:12

      Very light duty.

  • bwatt72 on 20/12/2022 - 16:03

    Is this one listed same model as more expensive one only difference is more expensive one has two batteries.
    I have the deck plate mower from years back works great but not used in a year as moved into property with fake grass.
    I sold my fuel trimmer and if moving back into house with lawn again this will be handy.
    I was always eyeing up the battery trimmer which im sure was this but was bit pricey.
    But seems a good price unless I’m mixing this model up with more expensive listed

    It was this one I was always going to buy lol one listed here is not so I just wait maybe it get cheaper one another day as got no lawn to cut I thought it was this with price drop.

      It's not the same. That one is more powerful but does not have an adjustable head which is a big limitation (i own it).

    • Jackson on 20/12/2022 - 17:47

      • bwatt72 on 20/12/2022 - 18:16

        I have a battery mower used it for 3 yrs in last place; place I’m in now has fake grass but I kept my mower and several batteries and ozito gadgets, used to use the fuel trimmer and got rid in this place and it for more than 3yrs.
        I never got around to getting the ozito trimmer and I thought it was the one I had been interested in.
        I remember the one I was interested in was as always a kit so was pricey but now I just remembered they do skin only now or I think for a while now I just forgot.
        This one listed on here is the blade ones which I was never interested in but the other I had been.
        Yes I don’t need one now maybe not next year or year after that but would not stop me buying if price dropped heaps.
        As who knows where I end up next and next place I will probably need a trimmer.

  • whitelie on 20/12/2022 - 16:05

    Certainly not a good buy at $259, even at this price it would be quite gutless. Better than the bladed version but still no good for getting through anything thick.
    The 2 x 18v one would be much better for $259

    • sidoz on 20/12/2022 - 17:05
      -1

      I would not be so sure. All it has to do is spin a bit of line, it's does not have to deal with much resistance. Run time would a lot less i imagine.

      • whitelie on 20/12/2022 - 17:11
        +1

        No resistance? What about when the line hits a thick weed or grass runner? It just slaps it and doesn't actually do anything to it.
        There is a heap of resistance when you run thicker line and why commercial machines can run 2.4-3mm line where this is 1.6mm.

        • sidoz on 20/12/2022 - 17:18

          I don't see any issue with any weeds at least none i've encountered, but sure a thick buffalo runner is a good point i overlooked. I guess if you're attacking an overgrown block that is a whole other kettle of fish im not considering. I have the 2x18v myself and with stock line a buffalo runner can be a challenge and end up in snapped line. Aftermarket line improves this of course. I previously had a different 18v trimmer and had no issue with it using thicker line and resistance for my basic use. That is of course very subjective to technique and your yard. A commercial use obviously needs to a tackle a wide range of scenarios much more than i or surely anyone buying this would.

      • Jackson on 20/12/2022 - 17:50

        I have the Aldi version of this, and while it's way better than the bladed version, when trimming buffalo grass you will be taking absolute ages to get through everything. I am going to try to put thicker line in mine (I think mine takes up to 2mm), but I tried my mates Ego one and that rips through everything in no time. I actually did all my edges in about 1/5 of the time and also didn't have to use as much line as I would with my small one.

  • ywpn on 20/12/2022 - 16:06

    I've got the cheapo 18v Ozito line trimmer.
    Pretty happy with it.

    I use mine for edging…but I had to use a square mouth shovel first (or Electric Edger if it's not too untidy) to "cut" the boundary.
    And then it's just regularly (weekly or fortnightly or monthly) running the line trimmer along the boundary.
    If you leave it too long without edging (I dunno…like, months?), then you'll need to get the shovel out again.

    I also use it where the mower can't reach (against plants, fences). You do have to be careful not to hit them because the nylon/plastic will just break, but I believe it comes with 10 pieces.

  • xyron on 20/12/2022 - 16:07

        I use two 4Ah batteries (until they go flat and then back to the two 2Ah).
        Maybe it's psychosomatic, but it feels like the 2Ah batteries don't cut as well and go flat a lot quicker than 50% of the 4Ah.
        I have Four 2aH batteries and using 2 lots of 2Ah doesn't seem to last as long as the 4Ah set.

        • Meconium on 21/12/2022 - 11:32

          Psychosomatic means the troubles of the mind are physically manifested in the body. Do you think you're simply willing the batteries to go flat? If so, don't do that, they should last longer!

        No power head is where you place two pre cut peices into the head. This way the line lasts longer as you only change it when needed. Way more economical.

    Friend has one of these … help her occasionally round her place …never have I used such a POS! I bring my Kawasaki now to avoid the frustration, you buy Ozito stuff you have no self respect!

    Got this fake alert from pricehipster this morning and got really excited, until I realised they buggered up the product. I've been stalking the 36V version @259, waiting for a deal. First ever alert from hipster and they borked it. Camel^3 are so much better.

    This can't be normally 259 as it's so much less product than the 36V one for the same std price. $125 is probably OK for a lower power single string battery trimmer, but I need more grunt.

    Anyone recommend the Homelite 25cc compare to this? I don't mind fuel or battery but see the Homelite is $149.
