Parkside brush cutters

Parkside is Lidl’s own tool brand. Its garden tools — grass trimmers, brush cutters, hedge trimmers — appear in Lidl stores and online in limited-time offers, and the cordless models share the X 20V Team battery used across Parkside’s DIY and garden range.

Our coverage

We don’t review a Parkside trimmer or brush cutter yet. Because Lidl’s stock rotates, a given model may be on sale for only a few weeks, which makes verified, lasting reviews difficult. If you buy one, keep the receipt: Lidl handles the warranty.

What to check before buying any brush cutter

• The job. Line is enough for grass and nettles; brambles, scrub and saplings need a metal blade and a machine whose manual allows one.
• Power. For petrol, about 25 cc suits grass and light growth, and 1 kW or more suits brambles and big plots. For cordless, look for a twin-battery or high-voltage brushless machine if you want to fit a blade.
• Handle and harness. A bike handle and a double harness make long sessions with a blade far less tiring than a loop handle and a strap.
• What is in the box. Battery, charger, blade and harness are often extras. Compare complete kits, not headline prices.
• Parts and service. Check that line heads, blades, air filters and spark plugs are easy to buy in the UK, and who handles the warranty.
