Rank #6 in Best Strimmers and Brush Cutters: 10 Ranked, and the Specs That Don't Match
52cc Petrol Wheeled Brush Cutter & Grass Trimmer, 2.2kW
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
This is the one petrol machine in this guide, and it sits at number six. That matters, because the contradictions the article is built around belong to the battery models: a 750–850 W brushless motor promised above a spec table that says something else. On this page the two headline numbers agree with each other — the bullet quotes 2.2 kW at 7500 RPM and the Speed field in the spec table also says 7500 RPM. It costs £153.99.
Its own listing is not spotless, though. The title calls it a wheeled brush cutter, while not one of the five bullets and not one spec field mentions wheels. The power source is filed as Gas Powered, and a page for a petrol engine still carries a "Guaranteed software updates until: unknown" field. The score is 4.1 out of 5 from 32 ratings, and the star breakdown on the same page adds to 100, with 59 at five stars and 11 at one star. Everything here is taken from the Amazon listing — none of it comes from testing by us.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“This is such a pocket rocket. I have a 5acre field which doesn't warrant a tractor and I just need something to help keep docks and thistle down in the hot spots. I love this machine. She's a little devil. Already cleared most of the overgrowth and only been out 3 times. Be aware this is not an agri machine so there will be limits. You just need to be sensible.”
Verified purchase“I was sceptical about this when I brought it as it was so much cheaper than others but I ha e had it since last year. Other than the lack of detail on how to fit the trimming cord , it now works brilliantly and after a hiccup over winter (a rat ate the petrol pipe !) It starts and performs admirably and mullers stinging nettles on my smallholding!!”

Questions people ask
Is the ParkerBrand 52cc petrol or cordless?
Petrol. The listing files the power source as Gas Powered and the engine as a 52cc two-stroke, so it runs on a fuel mix rather than a battery.
What power does the ParkerBrand 52cc produce?
The bullet says 2.2 kW at 7500 RPM, and the Speed field in the spec table also reads 7500 RPM, so those two figures agree with each other.
What is included with the ParkerBrand 52cc?
The listing names a brush cutter, one grass trimming spool attachment, a tool kit and a fuel mixing bottle.
Does the ParkerBrand 52cc have wheels?
The title says Wheeled Brush Cutter, but no bullet and no spec field on the listing mentions wheels, so the listing itself does not back that word up.
How is the ParkerBrand 52cc rated?
4.1 out of 5 from 32 ratings. The star breakdown below that score adds to 100, with 59 at five stars and 11 at one star.
How much does the ParkerBrand 52cc cost?
£153.99 as listed.
