Default rechargable or electric strimmer recommendation

Hi,
Can anyone recommend a decent rechargable or electric strimmer. ATM I
have a petrol McCulloch that I'm just about fed up with. When it
works, it's very good indeed, but getting the thing to start each time
is becoming a real pain. I want something to start when I wan it to!
The main consideration would be to have one that I can replace
(rewind) the line on, rather than use a cartridge replacement "spool"
which I assume will work out expensive. Other than that, I would be
glad of any suggestions.


Best to get the McCulloch serviced, no?

Decided to empty the fuel out, & leave it for a week. Refulled with
fresh fuel & a different sort of 2 stroke oil,replaced spark plug &
it's a lot easier to start now. I also bought some new Stihl trimmer
line, which seems superb.
Many thanks to all who replied,
