The solo by AL-KO 18V / 36V cordless grass trimmer combines high-performance lawn edging with a world-first in sustainability. Engineered for the modern gardener, this tool is remarkably quiet and entirely emission-free, making it the perfect choice for residential areas. Weighing just 2.35kg, it features an adjustable telescopic shaft and an ergonomic auxiliary handle, ensuring comfortable, strain-free operation regardless of the task at hand.
What truly sets this trimmer apart is the inclusion of 100% biodegradable trimmer line. While standard nylon lines leave permanent plastic micro-residues in your lawn, this TÜV Austria-certified line is absorbed by the soil and converted into water, humus, and CO₂ within 24 months. Despite its eco-friendly credentials, the line remains robust and durable for a professional finish.
The trimmer is packed with practical features designed to provide a manicured garden finish:
Generous 33cm Cutting Width: Allows for rapid progress across larger areas.
Swivelling Head & Edging Wheel: The flexible head and foldable wheel make it easy to maintain crisp lawn borders and reach under garden furniture.
Plant Guard Protection: An integrated guard protects your flowerbeds and prize shrubs from the cutting line.
Bump-Feed Mechanism: Ensures a fresh line is always ready with a simple tap on the ground.
Powered by the flexible 18V / 36V battery system, you can enjoy total cordless freedom across your entire AL-KO tool collection. The ultra-lightweight design significantly reduces operator fatigue, while the telescopic aluminium shaft can be adjusted to suit your individual height. For organized storage, the tool is compatible with the AL-KO wall mount system, keeping your garage or shed tidy.
