I just wanted to report that I took the plunge and bought the cheapest
petrol one I could find at B&Q at £80 (a McCulloch).

Tried it for the first time today and blimey! My strimming time has gone
from 45 minutes to about 10!

Thanks for this posting, I'm just thinking about getting a strimmer and I
will definitely get a petrol one.

My petrol lawn-mower is I think far better than the electric one it replaced,
so for me it is a petrol strimmer definitely
