Bosch brush cutters
The homeowner's all-rounder
Bosch makes homeowner garden tools on the 18V/36V POWER FOR ALL battery system. We review six, from the corded AFS 23-37 to the AdvancedBrushCut 36V.
In short:Bosch's green Home & Garden range covers grass trimmers and two real brush cutters. The corded AFS 23-37 (950 W, 37 cm line and 3-tooth blade, £200.99 on Amazon.co.uk on 27 October 2026) suits small plots near a socket; the AdvancedBrushCut 36V-23-750 (brushless, 33 cm line or 23 cm metal blade, 4.1 kg with battery) is the cordless pick for nettles and light scrub. The EasyGrassCut and UniversalGrassCut 18V trimmers are line-only lawn tools. Bosch batteries are shared across the POWER FOR ALL alliance.
Bosch (founded in Stuttgart in 1886) sells two power-tool ranges: the blue professional tools and the green Home & Garden range for homeowners. All the Bosch machines we review are green. Their common thread is the POWER FOR ALL battery system: 18V and 36V packs shared across Bosch garden and DIY tools and, through the POWER FOR ALL Alliance, with other brands such as Gardena.
The Bosch machines we review
Brush cutters. The AFS 23-37 is a corded 950 W brush cutter supplied with both a line spool (37 cm) and a 3-tooth metal blade (23 cm), a second handle and a strap; Amazon lists it at 5.3 kg. It cost £200.99 on Amazon.co.uk on 27 October 2026. The AdvancedBrushCut 36V-23-750 is its cordless counterpart: brushless, 4,500–6,400 rpm, 33 cm with 2.4 mm line or 23 cm with the supplied laser-cut blade, 3.4 kg bare or 4.1 kg with battery per Bosch. It is sold bare or as a kit with a 36V 2.0 Ah battery.
Grass trimmers. The EasyGrassCut 23 (280 W corded, 23 cm, £71.05) and EasyGrassCut 18V-26 (18V, 26 cm, £63.00) feed line automatically each time you release the trigger. The UniversalGrassCut 18V-260 adds IntelliFEED and a foot pedal to turn the head for edging. The corded ART 30 Combitrim (30 cm, telescopic shaft) had no current Amazon.co.uk listing when we checked.
What Bosch does well
Bosch machines are simple to set up and use, and the shared battery makes the cordless range cheaper once you own one pack. The AFS 23-37 is one of the few corded machines that takes a metal blade.
The limits
Only two Bosch models take a blade, and neither is built for dense brambles or large plots. For that, a petrol machine from about 1 kW is the better tool: see our petrol guide.
Who should buy Bosch
Homeowners with small-to-medium gardens, especially those who already own POWER FOR ALL batteries. See the best Bosch brush cutters, or compare the brand in Bosch vs Einhell and Black+Decker vs Bosch.
