Einhell Cordless Brush Cutter 36V PXC Without Battery

Update (2026):I've been using this scythe now for 2 years and it's still going as strong and working as well as it was when I bought it. Having used it many, many times I'm still lost for words at how much serious overgrowth, brambles and other stuff this tool clears in almost no time at all. I've tried other blades out of curiosity, including Oregon, but I always return to the original 3 toothed blade supplied with the scythe. It cuts everything and leaves nothing behind, it's like the largest brambles bushes I've ever seen were never there by the time it's done. It mulches stuff down incredibly well and I can get right down to ground level with it.Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your viewpoint, our front and rear gardens are seriously massive and I have had decades of brambles to clear and now regularly need to stay on top of things. It's easy with this. No messing about with petrol, blocked fuel lines, days spent not doing anything waiting for repairs - just charge up and you're off. I can honestly say with my hand on my heart that if I ever damage this tool, or it simply gives up and stops working, I'd order a new one from Amazon instantly.Just to add that I now have loads of Einhell gear including chainsaws, strimmer, mower, drills, drivers, circular saws etc etc. Einhell don't pay me anything, they've never given me anything and they've never asked me to write a review or to comment. I'm just a normal customer spending my own cash on the gear I need and I've no regrets at all on choosing this brand. I've now got 2 more 4 Ahr batteries and I've wall mounted 2 Einhell chargers. By the time the first batteries are giving up the others are already charged and waiting to go. I hated gardening but I can at least now tolerate it and it's seriously good fun watching brambles disappear.I hope this is helpful.Original (2024):I own the Einhell 36v cordless lawnmower and the 36v cordless hedge trimmer. I bought these myself and I absolutely love them. I've had no gifts, backhanders or payback from Einhell for my reviews, this is my honest opinion having paid my hard earned cash out for them.We recently moved house and have taken the leap from having a small patch of lawn to having what I would describe as a fairly big garden. Having always used petrol power tools we wanted a bit of a change. Not an eco warrior thing, but because the petrol mower and strimmer were a real pain. Constant maintainance, filling with petrol and general time wasted keeping them running. I was worried that the cordless stuff wouldn't have the 'oomph' needed but I was way off mark.This brushcutter/scyth is seriously good. It was a doddle to put together, slotted in a couple of 18v batteries (we got them with the lawnmower) and I was off. Within an hour with the blade attached I'd cleared a sizeable area of patio and garden border that were completely overgrown with thick weeds and more brambles than I'd ever seen. It powered through them easily. We couldn't beleive the amount we achieved in such a short time with loads of power still left in the batteries. At no time did the machine struggle or the blades 'jam'. The tool sliced through the thickest brambles with not trouble at all.The machine itself is a substantial piece of kit. It feels strong and robust and has a satisfying weight to it. It's not too heavy, but heavy enough to give me a sense of confidence that it'll do a great job. I felt a bit of a prawn using the included shoulder harness, but in all honesty it's essential. The harness is completely adjustable to ensure that you get a good balance. In a short time I had the strimmer balanced perfectly so I was able to scyth through bramble bushes that were 6' high. Try doing that with a petrol machine!I can genuinely say that I'll never reach for my petrol tools ever again. A 30 to 40 min charge and the batteries are good to go for another hour or so reckless weed and bramble slaying. This machine is more fun than I could ever imagine and I hate gardening!!One thing I would add is that you should ALWAYS wear safety equipment when using a tool such as this. I always wear safety glasses but still had the occasional twig hitting my face so my very next purchase will be a full face cover.I can't recommend Einhell gear enough. For the money I paid these machines are oustanding. I will be purchasing an extra pair of the 4.0AH batteries at some point, but to be fair the charging time is quick and gives me a break to tidy up. All in all I'm delighted with these tools. My wife LOVES the lawnmower. No messy petrol, tons of power, quick and easy to get going. Highly recommended.

I have been using this strimmer for the past couple of months now and have used both the brush cutter and the spool. I was a but apprehensive at first because of the weight. But after a few minutes of getting used to using the harness I actually find it easier to use than my other Stihl petrol strimmer that I don’t need a harness to use it. What a joy not to have to bother about petrol and starting problems. Just put in two charged batteries and you are away. The batteries last a long about 30 minutes of full-time use, also and this device delivers ample power even for very demanding tasks. The brush cutter cuts through at least an inch thick thistles which is amazing. Overall I am very pleased with this tool. The spool or the brush cutting blade is very easy to interchange and only takes a couple of minutes. Cleaning this tool after use just requires a stiff brush and a damp cloth to wipe it down and only takes a couple of minutes.

Got this partly for environmental reasons and smelly petrol; though one wonders how much better it is, as you do need to charge your 4.0Ah batteries.Anyway, strimmer (brushcutter) is reasonably heavy, (maybe lower power batteries would help?) but with the waist holder it's not bad (I'm in my 50's).Put together easily enough/batteries last well so far/used on various types of grass & weeds, up to 18". Blade can be a bit tricky **make sure everything is on right and tight**.Motor seems to be pretty good but here's the "but", why, why, why do they use plastic parts, OK i understand the outside parts (don't leave in sun) but internally; particularly the part (plastic tooth part under black cap, undo 4 screws) that is involved in changing strimmer to blade. If you over tighten the teeth on circular disc will break. I personally check bolts are secured everytime (external and internal) before using it, especially blade (one of locking plastic teeth broke).BUT is it a good buy and value for money, i think so but could have been way better.Working well so far, and keep it clean (don't use water hose!!)

A big reason I got this is because I have other Einhell kit which I like and of course I already have the batteries.Takes a little time to assemble and get comfortable. The instructions and illustrations are pretty good so pay close attention to them. The harness is essential and once adjusted correctly the tool was quite easy to use. When it got going it was impressive. I'm using the big three blade cutter and it made short work of the overgrown area of weeds and brambles. A good buy

On the one hand this is a great bit of kit if you use it with flat blades that can merely be reversed. If that’s your intended use, you’ll not be disappointed.It’s got a lot of power and in the space of 30 minutes or so I was able to carve a 40ft path through brambles on the bottom 1/2 acre of my garden which I haven’t explored in the 2 years we’ve been in this house. On the face of it sounds very impressive and it is compared to a machete or loppers.I have been watching reviews for the Oregon Mulching Blade that has blades which curve downwards and mulch the much larger cuttings into much smaller pieces which takes it up a notch but alas that’s as far as I could explore.For reasons I can only assume are financial in nature they are incompatible with this machine due to the fact the blade rotates in the opposite direction and Oregon only machines a bladed edge for 99.99% of manufacturers that opted to all stick with the same specifications.This is utter madness and sadly loses it some stars.I’m disappointed as I had started to buy more Einhell cordless kit with the aim of moving away from petrol tools and also that Einhell have not bothered in any literature to make it obvious on this specification as it would have saved time.This flaw only came to light after fitting the Oregon blade as it really isn’t obvious while you are putting it all together that this is the case.The supplied blade has a layer of paint protecting it and so I would recommend sharpening it before use.The next gripe I had was with the harness and the instructions. The instructions are largely useless and the video is of little use either where the harness is concerned. Luckily the rest of the construction is fairly straightforward.Once you have persevered with it for a while it all holds together pretty well. The tool needs adjusting on the strap clamp to have it so the tool is comfortable and can be manoeuvred easily. The weight distribution needs to be such that all low level work is easily done and this needs a different setup for each individual so not something that will be right out of the box.On a plus note I didn’t feel that tired using this given the harness and an optimal setup. Even using it to level brambles at 6ft . Battery usage also was excellent.

Similar to a few others I was a bit hesitant to spend money on a battery powered strimmer, having always used petrol ones up to now. But having grown tired of mixing fuel, storing fuel, spark plugs, carburettors etc I thought I'd give this a go, and I'm glad I did. With the blade fitted it is really good, easily hacking through thick brambles and saplings with barely a hiccup. The grass strimmer is not quite as excellent, and the difference between this and a petrol is more noticeable, but it's still good enough for everything except the thickest grass clumps, which do need two or three gos. The bump feed is a bit hit and miss, but that's been true for pretty much every strimmer I've ever owned.On the plus side it's so much quieter than a petrol strimmer, and with much less vibration, and of course starts with the push of a button! I've found the two 3 amp batteries last about 90 minutes, which is fine for me as they charge up again in 60 minutes. in terms of putting it together it was simple, I didn't need to look at the instructions once. Lastly, some have mentioned the strap being awkward, but with a little bit of thought and taking a little bit of time to get it adjusted correctly I found it worked well, supporting the weight of the strimmer comfortably and at the correct angle for easy use.So all in all really good, any doubts I had about battery power have proved groundless, and so far it's proved to be every bit as good as a petrol strimmer, but with much less hassle. I'm looking at the Einhell chainsaw and leaf blower now since the batteries are interchangeable!

I've always had Stihls, spent £600 on a new one last year that's been nothing but trouble so I'm done with Stihl. Bought instead this little beauty. To say it's easy is a gross understatement, to say it's ok is a gross understatement. I could go on all night. This is used to cut acreage, long thick grass, saw grass,docks, thistles etc and brush and it's awesome. No getting tangled in anything as with a double line strimmer, the line doesn't break if you hit something like a fence or stone. Replacing is just popping in a new pre-wound cartridge so no more needing three hands to fill the darn thing. No weight to it so super comfy to have attached to you, you can adjust handlebars and strap whilst wearing it's so easy, batteries charge really quickly (have two sets on the go) batteries last well, they don't slow down when flat, they just stop and takes seconds to change over. This is a good build machine--good quality and Einhell know what they're doing. No faffing about mixing two stroke or paying for pre-mix. This is the way forward, batteries are good nowadays and you won't regret buying this.

One problem after another.On initial inspection, seemed to be good quality and was happy.I attached the metal blade and put two brand new batteries on and was in for a shock.Tightend the strap on left shoulder only for cheap thin plastic part to break. Unit hangs low so took quite some adjusting to get it right and balanced but got there in the end.Its certainly has got a lot of power but the vibrations are horrendous for your hands and arms.Then after 5 minutes work it melted two batteries and the terminals on the unit itself.Unimpressed, for strimming grass and weeds this should have been straight forward.

Stark och lätt, tyst

Wir haben ein abgelegenes Grundstück, das wir unbedingt mal wieder von Brombeergestrüpp und anderen hochgewachsenen Pflanzen befreien mussten.Bei manchen Pflanzen bin ich fest davon ausgegangen, dass ich dort NUR mit einer stabilen Baumschere und/oder einem professionellen Benzinfreischneider durchkomme, aber der Agillo 36/255 hat mit dem Messer eine unglaublich hohe Schneidkraft, was ich bei Kauf nicht vermutet hätte.Feuchtes hohes Gras ist gar kein Problem und bei den dicken Brombeerstrünken habe ich von oben nach unten gearbeitet.Was mich ebenfalls positiv überrascht hat, ist die Betriebsdauer mit zwei 4Ah Akkus und die geringe Lautstärke im Vergleich zu einem Benzinfreischneider.Das Gerät ist etwas sperrig, weil lang, dabei aber sehr gut austariert und in Balance, wenn es eingehängt ist. Die Verarbeitung ist gut, auf die Preisklasse bezogen sehr gut. Alles ist aus Metall oder sehr robustem Kunststoff.Der mitgelieferte Tragegurt ist OK, allerdings ist der Verschluss zur Sicherung bei mir innerhalb zwei Stunden kaputtgegangen, sodass ich auf ein glücklicherweise im Bestand befindliches Tragegeschirr ausweichen musste.Meines Erachtens kann man im privaten Einsatz voll auf diesen Freischneider ausweichen, ich spüre jedenfalls mit dem Messer kaum einen Unterschied zu einem kleineren Benzinfreischneider.Kritikpunkt, außer dem oben schon angesprochenen Verschluss beim Tragegeschirr, ist allerdings der Fadenkopf, der, entgegen allen Marktgepflogenheiten, einfädig ist und nicht einfach gegen ein anderes Modell getauscht werden kann, weil Rechtsgewinde.Dafür ziehe ich aber keinen ganzen Stern ab, denn ansonsten hat das Gerät meine Erwartungen übererfüllt

Es perfecto, tiene potencia y de fácil manejo. Con baterías de 4 me ha durado mucho.

Benim işimi tam olarak gördü. Einhell sistemine sahipseniz harika

Fidele a la description. De bonne qualité je trouve. Un peu lourd, mais le poids ne se ressens pas grâce au harnais comfortable. J'ai pu travailler avec le fil pendant 1h00 sans interruption. Nickel.
