About BrushcutterHQ

BrushcutterHQ helps UK buyers choose a brush cutter or grass trimmer that fits their land. Most people buy the wrong machine: too much professional power they will never use, or a light trimmer that gives up at the first bramble. Generic best-seller lists rarely ask the question that decides the choice: what is your land like?

What we publish

• 74 reviews of petrol, cordless and corded brush cutters and trimmers, from 18 brands — Makita, BLACK+DECKER, Einhell, Bosch, Stiga, Stihl, Husqvarna, Honda, Ryobi, Fuxtec and more.
• 86 buying guides by job: brambles, slopes, small gardens, large plots, budgets from under £100, brands and specific needs.
• Comparisons of types, brands and models, with specs side by side.
• 92 accessory pages — blades, line, heads, harnesses, fuel and safety gear — and advice articles on starting, using, maintaining and repairing a brush cutter.

How we review

We do not run a test workshop. Each review is built from the manufacturer's specifications and the machine's UK retail listings, cross-checked against each other: power, weight and how it is measured, cut width, handle, what is in the box, battery system and whether the machine is designed to take a metal blade. Where sources disagree, we say so. Prices come from Amazon.co.uk through the Keepa price service and are dated. The full method is on how we review.

Who is behind the site

How we stay independent

BrushcutterHQ is funded by affiliate links. When you buy through one of our links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That never decides a rating: no brand pays for a review or a ranking, and we say plainly when a machine is the wrong tool for a job — a line-only trimmer for brambles, a heavy 52 cc machine for a small lawn.

Corrections

Specs change, listings change and we make mistakes. When we find one, or a reader reports one, we correct the page and update its date. If you spot something wrong or out of date, or would like us to cover a model, contact us.
