I have and would recommend the Viking range of electric strimmers. Well
made; I am pleased with mine. I understand that Viking is the brand name
used by Stihl for their domestic range.

I have been given a new lawn, and we are going to replace our old
rotary mower with a somewhat more "rifeened" version - i.e. one
with a roller, and possibly even a cylinder. Recommendations for
mains electric ones would be appreciated, but that is by the way.

So what I am asking is whether anyone can recommend a functional
strimmer (preferably mains electric) for rough lawn grass (i.e.
pasture type) and similar use. It need not handle woody plants,
and it would be better if it was fairly safe around shrubs.

I had an el cheapo Black and Decker plastic string one before,
and swapped it for a chocolate teapot :-)
