Flymo Minitrim ST

just used this strimmer as the long grass on both front & back badly needed cutting, this is easy to assemble and easy to manage whilst using, just remember that when you need to pull a little more spool line out as you strim long grass, make sure that the spool itself clicks in again otherwise the spool falls out and the machine cuts out. A test on the spool having clicked in properly is not only the sound, but also pull on the spool with forefinger and thumb only, to see if it comes off, usually the click sound ensures that the spool is in place again, however, double-check, check the spool itself to amke sure it's snug and won't come out whilst you go to use this strimmer. It's worth the money for this little mini strimmer, it did the job of both my gardens very well. Although you have to keep on pulling the line out every so often, i had to do this a few times and my gardens are small to medium size ( samll at front and around medium for the back garden). I recommend this product for it's easy use, trusted name and the cost of money for this machine. It does the job OK!

Nice little garden trimmer. My garden is about 15x15 meters and this little trimmer does me, i go around the edge before i cut the lawn. The cable is a good size although i need an extention. Along one fence line i have to pull the trimmer cord out twice as it shortens too much when i hit the fence. I ordered extra cord 1.5mm is what you need for the trimmer. It is pretty light and easy to use

Does what it says on the tin Bit of difficulty fitting base. Click and twist,no click resolved.

Now I have a small garden, but it is just enough to warrant a strimmer. It did not take long for the the nylon cutter to come flying off the the feeding spool and I had to spend 30 mins untangling it and re-threading. It's OK for now and have completed my first tidy-up with it. I do note the guard doesn't seem to be that robust either and could easily come off on more heavy duty tasks. So, it's OK for light work, nothing more challenging.

Good little strimmer. ideal for small/medium sized gardens. Had one of these for almost 15 years before it broke, was well used. Surprised they were still on sale so had no hesitation in buying another. New one strims edges like a knife through butter.

We bought item on 27 May 2026 a it was light to handle . Used it for the first time this week . The black guard flew off and broke . It came with 1 year guarantee and I also signed up to an extra 2 year manufacturer's Warranty . I have phoned them twice and sent numerous emails with all the details of proof of purchase To have a replacement guard with no success. The after service is appalling! Others need to know that you go throught Germany and we regret that we have purchased this item .

This strimmer is great for tidying up at the end of the job. Its small size helps get into corners. This is my second Mini Trim as the last one lasted for over 10 years. Good value. Easy to use for lawn edges etc. Will not chop down a forest! Highly recommended for tidy-ups/edging etc.

I'd have prefered a heavier strimmer with a secondary stabilising handle on this. There's just not a comfortable way for both hands to hold it without having to bend forward slightly while using it. I'm 5 foot 6 and having to stoop a little to use this effectively with two hands did a bit of a number on my back. Plus, even though it says it's lightweight, it's not easy on your wrists if you use it one-handed like I tried to when trying to give my back a break. You also need a grip like an incel... 😂 The power cord is on the short side too. I managed to do the small front bit of grass but I have a medium garden and I know it's not gonna even reach my fence without a 10 metre extension. My 5 metre extension certainly wouldn't reach. I got mine via Amazon warehouse so it was under £25, so I'll probably replace it shortly anyway. Might give it to a short friend or something 😂
