Gardena EasyTrim 25/18V P4A Review

The Gardena EasyTrim 25/18V P4A is a light cordless grass trimmer on the 18V POWER FOR ALL battery system. It offers a 25 cm cut, automatic feed for its 1.6 mm line, and a push-button switch to edging — a straightforward tool for lawn edges and small grassy areas.

What the listing confirms

Gardena’s Amazon.co.uk listing (the Solo version, 14704-55) gives a weight of 1.7 kg, a listed 7,500 rpm, a telescopic, ergonomic design with an adjustable handle, and a switch from trimming to edging at the press of a button, with an edging wheel for straight lines. The box contains the trimmer only — no battery or charger.

What it’s good at

At 1.7 kg it’s comfortable to swing along borders, around trees and into corners a mower can’t reach. The edging wheel is the standout: it steadies the head as you guide it along a path or bed, which gives a cleaner edge than freehand trimming. Anyone who already owns a POWER FOR ALL battery from Gardena or Bosch can start trimming with the tool as their only purchase.

Where it falls short

Bought as the Solo version, the real cost of getting started is higher than the price suggests unless you already own a battery. Its 18V motor is happiest in regularly cut grass; push it into tall, thick or damp growth and it will need slower passes. And it’s line only: nettles, brambles and woody growth need a brush cutter — see brush cutter vs strimmer.

Who should buy it

Someone already owning, or building, a POWER FOR ALL 18V collection who mainly needs tidy grass edges. Starting with no battery, the 14704-20 set is simpler. For a little more power from the same batteries, compare the Bosch EasyGrassCut 18V-26.

Verdict

A competent, light 18V grass trimmer with better-than-average edging — a smart add-on for POWER FOR ALL owners.
