Rank #3 in Best Strimmers and Brush Cutters: 10 Ranked, and the Specs That Don't Match
Hyundai HYBC5200X 52cc Petrol 2-in-1 Strimmer & Brushcutter
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Hyundai HYBC5200X is a 52cc two-stroke petrol strimmer that converts to a brushcutter with a 255 mm steel blade, and it takes third place in this guide at £94.00. It is the petrol machine in a field of cheap cordless models, and it is the one fiche here whose numbers hold together: the title, the bullets and the spec table all give a 450 mm cutting width, and the 9.1 kg item weight in the table is not contradicted anywhere else on the page.
The figure that does mislead is the 4.1 rating. Across 876 ratings that looks steady, but the breakdown is two groups rather than one: 68% gave it five stars, while 13 gave it one star — more than the 11 who gave it four. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, its bullets, spec table, rating counts and customer reviews, and not from any test we have run.
