Bosch Art 23 Easy trim

I've owned this strimmer for a number of years. First used the strimmer and the line broke every 30 seconds - 'Must be me' I thought and put the strimmer away. Periodically over the years, I've got the strimmer out again and tried to use it only to find the string breaking every 30 seconds. Friend of mine suggested cable ties instead of strimmer string. Tried that today and they broke every 30 seconds. This strimmer is unusable

This is the worst strimmer I have ever owned. Line breaks every few meters and has to be rethreaded. Don't waste your money!!

This is one of the worst products I've come across in my life. Under no circumstances buy this strimmer.

very suprised bosch are still selling this strimmer u/s after 1 year spool keeps flying off wont engage click when starting up someone will get there eye out with this

I recently purchased a Bosch 23 battery operated Acutrim strimmer.

I am very pleased with the results except that I find it impossible to remove the battery from the strimmer after use in order to charge it. I`m having to ask a neighbour for assistance. I do feel there should be an easier way to deal with this.

i have to agree with all the reviews here.

1. the line keep on breaking and i have to switch off the machine (more than 5 times per meter sq) just to open the spool and retrieve the nylon line.

2. the trimming is not that clean and neat. got so fed up and bought myself the grass shear.

3. extremely noisy. the neighbours probably hate me for that.

4. so what i should do now with this piece of junk?

I thought i must have done something wrong that this machine's line keep snapping every 3 seconds. I've tried changing the spool location, i've tried dismantle the grass cover thingy. Nothing works and it is quite frustrating. I'm glad that i've read other people comments here and realize this machine is a piece of junk and nothing is wrong with my power tool skill. Who would have thought such useless piece a tool can be released into public. Bosch name will forever live in infamy.

Fully agree with other reviewers that this tool is a complete waste of money and time spend on the purchase. I do much more work with a usual sickle than with this electric machine. My neighbour has the same experience. How could Bosch ever launch such a product?

There is a design fault with this strimmer. No matter what type of line you use it breaks within a few seconds and the strimming head has to be dismantled to retread thr line. Do not buy.

I have just used this strimmer for the first time.After 10secs the length of cutting plastic cord sheared off inside the spool so it wouldn't auto feed which meant I had to dismantle the spool,same again 1 min later.Attached heavy duty spool which lasted 15 secs before snapping off.Its going straight back to H omebase!!!!
