 Safety First! August 1, 2008
Aj Middleton (UK)
Bought this to accompany my Rotak 37 lawnmower which i have been very pleased with but the ART 23 doesn't live up to my expectations from Bosch. The '23 trims well enough but i seem to go through at least 2 or 3 blades every time i use it, which is proving a hinderence as well as more costly compared with a line timmer. Also, wear goggles as the plastic blades can fly anywhere!
Battery life has been very good on a full charge.
However, in my opinion the lack of a safety switch is a serious design fault. Bosch lawnmowers are fitted with one so it seems strange to omit on other products. Its very easy to catch the 'trigger' when moving around.
Does not live up to Bosch standards May 25, 2008

Thought this was very good idea, as I hate pulling cords around the garden, so bought Bosch as brand has a good reputation, but went to use the strimmer for first time this year and battery is not holding a charge, and it was two weeks out of warranty, and considering it has not been used for the last 5/6 months this is very annoying, and the new battery costs more than a new strimmer, so will probably go buy a corded machine, and probably not Bosch, very disapointing.
 Don't bother with this one May 6, 2008

It's a great idea, cordless and no string to mess with - but the battery won't last and the "widgets" you use instead of string are a hassle to buy. Don't waste your money.
 Trimmer gets dimmer April 26, 2008

This strimmer works well and is very handy for the allotment. But the blades break easily and are hard to find. I am disappointed that the battery has not lasted for even one year. It is cheaper to buy, if you buy from Argos, a new strimmer than replace the battery and that seems ridiculous, but I have a lot of blades in stock.......and is is comparatively cheap.

Does a neat job, but a couple of issues:
1. No Safety switch (press button in and then another button to turn on), like most strimmers / garden tools I have used. Managed to strim my ankles which hurt a bit!
2. Blades don't last long and seem to be fairly expensive to replace( if you can find a stockist!).
Would I buy again? Not sure. You get good results, but above points spoil another wise good product.
