Consider the size of your garden - if you have a lot of ground to cover, go for a bigger swath size to clear more grass in one go. Going cordless help you get to those hard-to-reach areas and tackle larger gardens without wires holding you back. An easy feed or AFS automatic line feed will make your job easier, especially when working on tougher overgrowth. Innovative AFS Automatic Line Feed System 30CM Cutting Swath For Fast, Efficient Cutting Trim & Edge Facility, Flip The Head For Neat borders & Edging Every Time Wire Plant Protector & Edging Guide Extendable Telescopic Pole For Perfect Height Setting Grass Trimmer Review: Brilliant strimmer for starters. Fun, but READ the SAFETY leaflet before anyone uses it. - Perfect for cutting thick weeds/thistles/nettles/ivy/grass plus lots more. Long cable (Over 16 feet / 5 metres) Great weight, brilliant reach with the extending arm. Very good build quality from Black and Decker. SAFETY leaflet inside the box, READ IT and UNDERSTAND it before you use this strimmer. Really good power, light to use but do take breaks when you start off if you a new to this. Very easy to manoeuvre. Real easy to assemble. I really enjoyed using it. The strimmer line included was really good. This strimmer was great for me. Brilliant for what I needed to do. Grass strimming and numerous weed strimming as mentioned above. Some light tree branches were also no problem for it. It is not a silent motor so I needed to be aware of the time when I used it. Although it is much quieter that those revving petrol ones. I would recommend this strimmer. Review: Good strimmer but ..... - Prompt delivery. As usual though with every strimmer I've ever had the auto spool feed for the cutting line simply does not work. Within less than a minute I had a line that was over 18" long. This happened every time the line was reset and seems to be an issue common to almost every make of strimmer, and I've had many of them. Happily though once I had re-engineered the spool feed system to manual the strimmer works very well and doesn't go through a spool of line in less than five minutes. ## Features - 550W motor with E-Drive technology delivering increased cutting power - 30cm cutting swath for fast, efficient cutting - Trim & Edge feature for neat borders & edging - Wheel guide for precision edging - Extendable telescopic pole for perfect height setting ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B079H2597Y | | Best Sellers Rank | 37,569 in Garden ( See Top 100 in Garden ) 270 in Grass Trimmers | | Brand | BLACK+DECKER | | Brand Name | BLACK+DECKER | | Colour | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,137 Reviews | | Cutting width | 30 Centimeters | | Included Components | Strimmer | | Is Assembly Required? | Yes | | Is Product Cordless | No | | Item Dimensions L x W | 91.6L x 11.6W centimetres | | Item Type Name | Corded Strimmer | | Item Weight | 3.15 Kilograms | | Item weight | 3.15 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Stanley Black & Decker | | Manufacturer Part Number | BESTA530-GB | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Two year warranty from purchase. | | Model Number | BESTA530-GB | | Number of Items | 1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Power source | Corded Electric | | Product dimensions | 91.6L x 11.6W centimetres | | Recommended Uses For Product | Trimming lawn edges and borders, General gardening tasks | | Size | 30 cm | | Speed | 7500 RPM | | Style Name | Single | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Assembly required:** Yes - **Brand:** BLACK+DECKER - **Colour:** Black - **Cutting width:** 30 Centimeters - **Is cordless?:** No - **Item weight:** 3.15 Kilograms - **Power source:** Corded Electric - **Product dimensions:** 91.6L x 11.6W centimetres - **Speed:** 7500 RPM - **Style:** Single ## Images ![BLACK+DECKER Electric Strimmer with Automatic Single Line Feed, 55W, 240V, Cutting Width 30cm,BESTA530-GB - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51QBSvseyXL.jpg) ![BLACK+DECKER Electric Strimmer with Automatic Single Line Feed, 55W, 240V, Cutting Width 30cm,BESTA530-GB - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51JXrtJA1dL.jpg) ![BLACK+DECKER Electric Strimmer with Automatic Single Line Feed, 55W, 240V, Cutting Width 30cm,BESTA530-GB - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81RaLx+HB6L.jpg) ![BLACK+DECKER Electric Strimmer with Automatic Single Line Feed, 55W, 240V, Cutting Width 30cm,BESTA530-GB - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/814TBJ7rOtL.jpg) ![BLACK+DECKER Electric Strimmer with Automatic Single Line Feed, 55W, 240V, Cutting Width 30cm,BESTA530-GB - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/716vGzfLmtL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Which spare bobbin fits the besta530-gb?** A: The recommended spool is the BLACK+DECKER A6481 Spool + Line for Reflex Strimmer **Q: Is this compatible with the black+decker cm100-xj 3-in-1 lawn mower deck attachment?** A: I think it is because I have the 3 in 1 and this looks like the one that came with my package **Q: spool went within 5 min, which replacement is compatible please?** A: If your spool went in 5 minutes, then rather than looking for a replacement spool, you need to be looking for a warranty replacement of your faulty strimmer! **Q: The image shows a 2 point plug, is that what it comes with or does it come with a UK 3 point plug?** A: I'm not sure where you can see a 2 point plug as there isn't one. There is a handle to hold the strimmer in place while strimming but I can confirm that there is a 3 point plug fitted at the end of the cable. Hope this helps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant strimmer for starters.

It is well made and very easy to use. Not too heavy and it can tackle even the longest grass and the toughest weeds ! It arrives with just the handle and guard to fix which takes just a few minutes to sort out. This strimmer is also great at edging lawns. The strimmer line is a breeze to fix on the strimmer, just remove the empty spool and the new strimmer line takes literally seconds to fix into place. I use this strimmer to maintain a small field and it manages the job perfectly. Just take my advice and always wear gloves if you have a lot of strimming to do, as it avoids those nasty blisters on your hands ! Excellent value for a great strimmer. ## Frequently Bought Together - BLACK+DECKER Electric Strimmer with Automatic Single Line Feed, 55W, 240V, Cutting Width 30cm,BESTA530-GB - BLACK+DECKER A6485 thread bobbins (for trimmers 3-pack - 3 x 10 m length, βŒ€ 1.5 mm thread diameter), Black, Translucent - BLACK+DECKER Spool and Line 10 m for Reflex Strimmer Nylon Wire 1.5 mm Diameter Transparent and Resistant A6481-XJ --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/60724393-black-decker-electric-strimmer-with-automatic-single-line-feed-55w](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/60724393-black-decker-electric-strimmer-with-automatic-single-line-feed-55w) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-30*
