Hello everyone,

Before our move, we sold all our corded garden tools and now want to get battery-powered garden tools for the new house.
Initially, I need a battery grass trimmer. In the future, hedge trimmers and shrub shears will follow, and possibly a manual lawn mower as well. And whatever else one gradually needs.
I’ve noticed there is an 18V system from Bosch. Since I already have a Bosch Uneo, I would have a battery for that. But the grass trimmer costs almost twice as much as the equivalent from Einhell. I’m not very familiar with that brand. I once had a mower from them, which was okay. And a corded tiller, which was also okay.
My sister said that there are systems from well-known manufacturers that are partly compatible with discount-brand tools. Is that true?

There is also such a system with interchangeable batteries from Gardena. (?)
Who among you has experience with these brands and uses multiple tools that share the same batteries? Can you recommend anything, are you satisfied?
Of course, I want to get everything (gradually) from one manufacturer and not have three different battery systems.

I can recommend Stihl. So far, I have only had good experiences with their lawnmower, hedge trimmer, string trimmer, and chainsaw.

My mother has now fully switched to Ryobi and is very satisfied. It’s best to wait for the recurring discount promotions, as then it’s really worth it. Batteries are relatively expensive, but the tools themselves are cheaper.

Thank you. I had never heard of Ryobi before, but they have good reviews online. I’ll take a look. Stihl is, of course, top quality, but I think they are a bit beyond my budget.

Does anyone have experience with the Worx system? I’m considering buying a lawn trimmer for us. The 2x20V setup sounds somewhat more powerful than the usual 18V Bosch/Gardena/Einhell systems.

Bosch also has a 36V system. However, I’m not sure if it’s accurate to judge a tool’s performance based solely on the battery voltage.
