Einhell brush cutters
Accessible cordless on Power X-Change
Einhell sells cordless Power X-Change and petrol brush cutters at budget prices. We review seven, from the Agillo 18/200 to the 52 cc GC-BC 52 I AS.
In short:Einhell is a German value brand whose Power X-Change (PXC) 18V batteries run its whole cordless range. Of the seven Einhell machines we review, five take a metal blade: the Agillo 18/200 (one 18V battery, bike handle, harness) and the twin-battery Agillo 36/255 BL and GP-BC 36/430 Li BL, all sold without batteries, plus the petrol GC-BC 25/1, GC-BC 36-4 S (four-stroke) and GC-BC 52 I AS (51.7 cc, 1.5 kW, £138.66 on Amazon.co.uk on 27 October 2026). The GE-CT 18 Li is a lawn trimmer.
Einhell (founded in Landau, Germany, in 1964) is one of the cheapest routes into a cordless garden. Its Power X-Change (PXC) 18V batteries fit hundreds of Einhell garden and DIY tools; the bigger machines take two packs for 36V.
The Einhell machines we review
Cordless brush cutters. The Agillo 18/200 runs on one 18V battery, with a front-mounted motor, a bike handle, a line spool and a 3-tooth blade, plus a harness (£131.95 bare on 27 October 2026). The Agillo 36/255 BL uses two batteries, a brushless motor and a split shaft (£158.99 bare). The GP-BC 36/430 Li BL from the Professional line cuts 43 cm with line and 25.5 cm with its blade, and weighs 6.75 kg per its listing (£239.95 bare). None includes batteries.
Petrol brush cutters. The GC-BC 25/1 I AS is a 25.4 cc entry machine. The GC-BC 36-4 S has a 37.7 cc four-stroke engine that runs on unmixed petrol. The GC-BC 52 I AS has a 51.7 cc, 1.5 kW two-stroke, a split shaft and a bike handle, at 8.5 kg (£138.66). Its strap is a carrying strap, not a full harness.
Grass trimmer. The GE-CT 18 Li cuts 24 cm with plastic knives rather than line (£45.61 bare).
What Einhell does well
Price and breadth. Bare tools are cheap, almost every model comes with both line and blade, and one battery runs the whole shed.
Things to weigh
Einhell rarely leads on refinement or outright power. Weights are high on the petrol models, and battery machines are priced bare: add two PXC batteries and a charger if you are starting from scratch.
Who should buy Einhell
Budget buyers who want a shared-battery cordless system, and those who want a lot of petrol engine for little money. See the best Einhell brush cutters, or compare the brand in Bosch vs Einhell and Einhell vs Ryobi.
