Having owned a Ryobi Petrol Strimmer, anything, I mean anything (scissors, paper knife or cheese wire) would be more suitable than the Ryobi!
Despite being quite expensive...This Bosch Art26 Li seems to be the answer to noise, weight & ease of use.. It is just a small light weight machine, that with a little care gives a more than adequate cut etc. After use, my neighbours are still talking to me!.Now whether it can tackle 3/4 month old grass banks., I am not sure. But it works & has a few useful option like Plant preservation (The Ryobi you felt would take down full grown trees)! You can turn the motor on its side to give lawn edging.In all a good 4 stars so far (May 2010).
Unlike the 'other' strimmer this starts immediately & without arm/gut wrenching puling. It did two medium size lawns & recharged in about 3 hours.

Despite some slightly poor reviews about battery life and plastic blades not lasting long I decided to buy this trimmer. I am posting this review after I have used it 4 times to finish my garden. I must say I am really happy with it. Some of the concerns raised by other reviewers are true to some extend, but I think they are exaggerated. Battery life is perfect for me. The first time I used it I ran out of battery when I was finishing my garden (25mts x 8mts so about 200sq mts). This was due to all edges having tough grass as I didn't had a trimmer before. But the trimmer nearly survived so I was quite happy with it. The subsequent times I was able to finish the job in one single battery since the grass was not too rough on the edges. Ultimately I decided to buy a second battery so I could always finish the job no matter how long the grass was. Indeed original Bosch spare batteries are expensive (~£60). Buying compatible ones will void the warranty and I wouldn't want to have a dodgy battery that could explode so I decided to buy the original ones only. I did notice that Bosch batteries are much cheaper when bought as part of a another product so I decided to take the plunge and buy a Bosch PSB 18 LI-2 Cordless 18 Volt Hammer Drill, 1 x Li-Ion Battery with battery that costed me £ 90. The way I looked at it is that the drill costed me "only" £ 30 and I now have 2 batteries I can use in both products so I am sure I will never run out of battery no matter what I am doing, drilling or mowing the lawn. The drill is excellent as well BTW.
With regards to the plastic blades being somehow "weak" this is true to some extend. I did use 3 blades on my first use, but I did notice I was learning to use the trimmer. On subsequent uses I was able to cut down to 2 blades per use and I might be able to do it with a single blade with more practice. The key is stay away from hard edges and only exposing the blade to grass. Other reviewers complained that the blades are very expensive. The pack of 24 original blades currently costs £9: (F016800183 Bosch ART 26 Accutrim Blades Pack of 24) so this won't break your bank although I do agree for a bit of plastic they are somehow a bit expensive at 37.5p each. Given that I will only use 1 o 2 per use the 24 pack should last me about a year, so it isn't a massive cost.
Aside from that all I can say is that the trimmer is very easy to use, not too noisy and very lightweight. And above all it will never fail to start like those petrol trimmers!

It should be remembered that this is only a strimmer, for doing edges & suchlike, not a lawn mower. I have not had a problem with the blades wearing out and suspect this may be due to inappropriate use. B&Q sell compatible blades at a much cheaper price the the Bosch ones.
Using on an an allotment where there is no power it is either a cordless strimmer or a petrol one and I find petrol ones too much hassle to deal with so went with this. My only criticism is the short battery life. Fortunately I have a pair of Bosch batteries which came with my drill & can use those as back ups.
For the price this should be supplied with at least one spare battery and, until it is, it will remain so overpriced at £92 that 3 stars is quite a generous rating.
