Rank #8 in Best Strimmers and Brush Cutters: 10 Ranked, and the Specs That Don't Match
VFMFM 24V Cordless Strimmer with 6 Metal Blades
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
Eighth in this guide to strimmers and brush cutters, the VFMFM CS10 is a 24V cordless strimmer at £53.99, supplied with two 4000 mAh lithium batteries, six metal blades, ten plastic blades and a telescopic pole that adjusts from 35 to 48 inches. It carries 4.5 out of 5 from 81 ratings.
The CS10 is a good example of why the numbers on a listing deserve a second look. The bullet headed "Lightweight & Low Noise" says the strimmer weighs 3.96 pounds, roughly 1.8 kg, while the spec table on the same page gives an item weight of 3.42 kg — close to double the bullet's figure. The battery packs are described as 4000 mAh, but the same bullet adds that most regular kits are supplied with 2.0Ah batteries. The star bars do not match the stated review count either: the listing reports 81 ratings, while the five bars show 73 five-star, 19 four-star, 2 three-star and 6 one-star votes, which comes to 100. Everything here is taken from the Amazon listing for the CS10 as it stands; we have not tested the strimmer ourselves.
