Battery count and motor
The 18/200 runs on one 18V battery; its motor sits at the cutting end for weight distribution, and electronic speed control runs it up to 7,200 rpm. The 36/255 runs on two batteries together and has a brushless motor up to 6,300 rpm — more efficient and lower-maintenance. If you already own several Power X-Change packs, the 36/255 puts them to better use; with just one, the 18/200 is the natural fit.
Handling and kit
Both have proper two-handed handles for blade work. The 18/200 comes with a comfort harness, which matters with a blade fitted. The 36/255 has a split shaft that packs away on a supplied wall bracket. Amazon’s item weights (7.05 kg against 6.09 kg) are close once you add one battery to the first and two to the second.
What each handles
Both cut grass, tall growth and light scrub with their blades. The 36/255’s brushless twin-battery drive gives it more staying power for regular, heavier sessions.
Which should you buy?
With one Power X-Change battery and occasional scrub, the Agillo 18/200 — harness included — is the cheaper route. With several batteries and regular heavier work, the Agillo 36/255 is the stronger machine. For Einhell’s widest cut, see the professional GP-BC 36/430.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Agillo 36/255 worth it over the 18/200?
If you own several Power X-Change batteries and cut tall grass or scrub often, yes: it has a brushless motor and runs on two batteries at once. The 18/200 needs only one battery and comes with a harness, which makes it the cheaper way in.
Do they include batteries?
No — both are sold without batteries or charger. The 18/200 needs one 18V Power X-Change battery; the 36/255 needs two.
Which is lighter?
Amazon lists the bare 36/255 at 6.09 kg and the 18/200 at 7.05 kg, but the 18/200 carries one battery and the 36/255 two, so the difference narrows in use. Both are heavy enough that a harness helps — the 18/200 includes one.
