£7 strimmer or £700 robomower #thebuyer in my is tingling
Tenderloin-
I think I'm a bit bias from using bigger decent stuff at my folks place in the middle of nowhere. While it's fun to use proper kit I think it can also be quite a faff (like getting a chainsaw and lawnmower serviced) and it's place is there, not in LDN / 'burbs. So I quite like things at the other end of the spectrum.
TBH I'm more sold on the idea of a robomower than £hundreds on a mower or strimmer.

Karcher. If you want something smaller the K2 is good. Once you get one, remember that you need to refer to it as a Karcher not a pressure washer so people know you have one.
Not unless you are using it as a strimmer. It will cut down anything that stands in it's path. You will need a hose to feed into the pressure washer anyway.

Probably going against the grain and raison d'etre of the forum here, but your garden is under an acre right? Just get a 2nd hand Flymo and save the landfill. For a strimmer get the lightest thing you can. I picked up one for £8 from a boot sale and it’s brilliant. Light, takes up no space (32" tip to toe), and works. If you need a heavy duty one to clear stuff now rent a proper petrol one for the task.
