Alpine AVR 26J
Editor’s note: 4.5 / 5 | Reward : See the price on Amazon
A true multifunction brushcutter! The Alpina ABR 26J differs from simple petrol cutters in that it is not only useful for finishing at grass level. In addition to its double-edged head, ideal for this, it has a second head with a 3-tooth metal blade to facilitate the mowing of all resistant weeds and vegetation. Of optimal design, it is equipped with an easy start, simple and intuitive controls on its handle and an ergonomic handle. It even comes with a harness for more comfortable use and its handle can be split in two for transport or storage. Innovative and practical, it finally incorporates the Tap ‘n Go function which automatically lengthens the line while its guardrail is wide enough to guarantee all the necessary safety.
My opinion : The edger that I would recommend without hesitation! There are so many models to choose from, it can be complicated, but I guarantee you won’t regret indulging in this Alpina ABR 26J. I find it to be of excellent quality and its performance is exactly what you would expect from such a tool, even if you are the picky type. I was especially convinced by the fact that it can be used as a brushcutter, which differentiates it from conventional brushcutters, especially since it offers good power and good results in both functions. It is also positioned in a more than correct price range: at this price, it is difficult to find it as powerful and comfortable to use!
Husqvarna 128R
Editor’s note: 5 / 5 | Reward : See the price on Amazon
A professional thermal rotofil for individuals! The Husqvarna 128R has the advantage of being equipped with a powerful engine (28 cm³, up to 7,200 rpm) but remains light enough to be maneuverable easily. Everything in its design and its accessories is intended to be as practical as possible with, for example, the presence of an easy start system and a Stop button with automatic return which avoids flooding the engine. . Thanks to its asymmetrical handlebars, its maneuverability is optimal (especially since it is adjustable) and it obviously comes with a harness to limit fatigue. Finally, it features a nylon Tap ‘n Go head for quick one-touch reloading and a grass blade for precision weeding to restore a beautifully landscaped yard.
My opinion : When it comes to maintaining all your green spaces, Husqvarna is usually a brand you can completely trust and that’s still the case here. If you appreciate kitting yourself out with professional-grade tools, you should be delighted to get your hands on this 128R: whether in terms of power or handling, it really is at the top. Of all the thermal spinners I’ve had the opportunity to try, this one left an excellent impression on me. The detail that I liked the most is its lightness and the resulting comfort: it’s really a pleasure to use it to get rid of all the grass that you can’t cut. Although it has a price that could be described as high end, it is well worth the investment.
Ikra FIB 25-1
Editor’s note: 4 / 5 | Reward : See the price on Amazon
A rotary brushcutter for better garden maintenance! In fact, the Ikra IBF 25-1 is supplied with 2 different heads: the first, classic, is a 2 mm thick line used to cut grass along walls, paths, etc., while the second is a 4-tooth blade capable of cutting weeds, but also thick bushes, tall grass or thickets. Gasoline, its power is provided by a 25 cc engine, which can also be started simply and quickly, by pulling the cable (with the addition of the presence of a primer). For optimal orientation throughout use, the device finally has an ergonomic handle and is supplied with a shoulder strap, both of which are adjustable and adjustable to ensure comfort.
My opinion : One of the best value for money you can find! This Ikra IBF 25-1 is a very interesting thermal rotofiler, both in terms of its features and its design, its price being an additional advantage. If you are not the handyman type, know for example that it is very easy to use, whether to light it or to fill it with gasoline, since a dispenser is provided to make the right mixture. As for its performance, I can’t fault it at all, it has plenty to meet your expectations, although a thicker wire would surely be a bit more effective on thicker weeds. The fact that it can be dismantled in 2 is also practical, in particular to take up less space during storage. At all levels, it’s really a good choice!
Ikra IBKH 33
Editor’s note: 4.5 / 5 | Reward : See the price on Amazon
Complete to take care of all the vegetation! The Ikra IBKH 33 is a 4-in-1 tool: thanks to its different heads and accessories, it can be transformed into a grass trimmer, brush cutter, hedge trimmer and even pruner. In its classic rotofil mode, it features an innovatively designed semi-automatic reel that prevents grass from wrapping around it. As a brushcutter, it is equipped with a 3-tooth blade to beat all the grass. When used as a hedge trimmer, it has the advantage of being telescopic and offering an adjustable cutting angle in 12 positions, up to an angle of 170°. As for its pruning function, it is again telescopic while its cutting angle is adjustable in 7 positions, up to 90°. Thermal, it is a 32.6 cm³ petrol engine which finally guarantees whatever use is made of it.
My opinion : Do you like multitools? In this case, this Ikra IBKH 33 should delight you! It is a very unique dental floss since thanks to it you will be able to take care of all your green spaces in a much simpler way, by changing the cutting head. The advantage of this model is that this transition between the different functionalities is very easy: you do not need to know how to do it yourself or to take out a lot of tools. It is ready to do what you ask of it in the shortest possible time, delivering flawless results. The supplied harness isn’t the most comfortable I’ve ever worn, but that doesn’t detract from the appeal of this extremely versatile edger.
McCulloch Trimac
Editor’s note: 4 / 5 | Reward : See the price on Amazon
A simple and effective edger to maintain the garden! That’s a 25cc engine that fits into the McCulloch Trimmac, enough to give this petrol mower what it needs to precisely cut weeds where the mower can’t go. It also has valuable functions such as the Tap ‘n Go system (pressing the cutting head against the ground is enough to advance the line automatically) or the fact that its tube can be separated into 2 parts for less bulky storage. In addition to its height-adjustable handle, all in roundness and ergonomics, it also has a double carrying strap which guarantees much more comfortable work and reduced fatigue. And since the air filter cover can be removed without tools, maintenance finally becomes easier!
My opinion : If the budget you can afford to buy a trimmer is not very stretchable but you still want a device with a minimum of power, this McCulloch Trimmac is the one I recommend. Approaching 100 €, we can imagine that it is not the most solid model or the best designed. For example, I found that it vibrates a lot compared to others, which can cause more arm fatigue after use. As for its performance, it is quite sufficient, especially if you do not need to use this type of machine often. The result is clean and crisp, and that’s obviously what matters most. Among the cheap thermal rotofilators, it is one of the most satisfactory, but if you can still save a few euros, do not hesitate to opt for the Ikra IBF 25-1 that I presented to you just before.
