Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The DCA 20V Cordless Strimmer is one of the cheaper cordless models in this guide, at £69.99, and it takes the number 10 slot. It comes as a kit with a 4.0Ah battery rather than as a bare tool, and the listing describes a dual-line, brushless trimmer with two selectable cutting widths and two speeds.
Its own listing does not agree with itself on three numbers. The specification table gives an item weight of 1.2 kg, while the bullet text above it says 2.6 kg bare and 3.4 kg with the battery fitted. The table gives 6200 RPM; the bullets describe 4600 and 6000 RPM. The bullets offer 30 cm and 35 cm cutting widths, but the table lists a single 12-inch width — that is roughly 30 cm — and the Size field says 35 cm. Everything below is taken from the Amazon listing for this model and from the customer reviews on it, not from testing we have carried out.
