Which should you choose?
For brambles and rough ground, the Fuxtec FX-MS152 or Einhell GC-BC 52. If you hate mixing fuel, the FX-4MS142 — budget for a blade. If you already own Greenworks 40V or Einhell Power X-Change batteries, the GD40BC or Agillo 18/200 are excellent value. For a complete lawn kit, the STC1840EPC.
Hidden costs
Petrol needs two-stroke oil or engine oil, a fuel can and protective gear; bare cordless tools need batteries and a charger. See the best budget petrol brush cutters and under £200.
