There are well over 75 different cordless string trimmers on the market right now and after reading all the specifications and reviews I purchased 4 models for this article. I’m not sponsored by any of the brands so it helps me to stay completely objective in my reviews. I purchased these brushless trimmers myself. Right to left: Stihl, Toro, Troy-Bilt, DeWalt, Husqvarna Gas for comparison. In my opinion, there are now a few on the market that will tackle any of your tasks and last for years. As homeowners, we are finally getting quality trimmers, blowers, hedge trimmers and other equipment for our normal suburban lawns that will do the job better than the small gas engines. Because of that, I’ve spent the last five years watching the cordless, battery-powered string trimmer market come of age. In the last 15 years even if you do find one that is better than most – the engines have been regulated to the point where they have no power for all but basic tasks. I’ve owned way to many of them over the years and they have always been notoriously hard to start, noisy and don’t last long. In particular the cheap homeowner string trimmers, blowers, hedge trimmers and even chainsaws.

I’ll admit it – I’m one of the people who would love to see all small lawn & garden gas engines disappear. I also talk about the new EGO carbon fiber shaft trimmer. The Toro Power Plex, Stihl FSA 90 R, Troy-Bilt C.O.R.E., DeWalt Flex-Volt. This article is a review of four of the best cordless string trimmers available right now.
