Pros
- Real metal blade included — cuts tougher growth than most electrics
- Unlimited runtime, no battery to buy or charge
- Excellent value for a small tough plot
Cons
- Tethered to a cable and socket
- Not for large or remote land
- Less mobile than battery or petrol
The Bosch AFS 23-37 is a rare thing: a corded electric machine that’s a genuine brush cutter, not just a grass trimmer. The 1000W motor and the metal blade included in the box let it tackle tougher, taller growth that would defeat a cheap line-only electric.
Who it’s for
Small plots near a power socket where you still hit tough patches — nettles, tall grass, light woody growth. You trade mobility (the cable) for unlimited runtime, no battery cost, and a low price. For anything large or far from power, go cordless or petrol.
Verdict
The best-value corded electric for a small but demanding plot. The included metal blade is what sets it apart from the budget crowd.

Is it a brush cutter or a trimmer?
It's a genuine corded brush cutter: the 1000 W motor and metal blade handle nettles, tall grass and light woody growth, not just lawn edges.
How far can I reach with it?
