About 4 years ago I bit the bullet and bought a brand new Stihl strimmer for £135.. to use around the allotment.

It has never let me down and starts on the 2nd pull every time. I have just been offered £100 for it, so a well looked after Stihl holds it's value. Everyone else at the allotment has all the cheaper makes and they spend more time being repaired than they do strimming. It takes a lot of bad language to start most cheap strimmers... and they all end up in the back of the shed as they wont start and it costs at least £60 to have a technician look at it.
Do yourself a favour and get a new Stihl .. remember .. no starting problems and they hold their value. If you look on Ebay you will see how much they sell for 2nd hand.

if you just want it for light use, i would look at the Gtech. It has a rechargeable battery and uses a plastic blade instead of a cord. I have NEVER had a cord one where the cord stayed untangled.
