Einhell AGILLO 18/200 Review: Cordless Brush Cutter for Overgrown Ground
In short: the Einhell AGILLO 18/200 is a cordless brush cutter, not a light grass trimmer — its 200 mm metal blade is built for weeds, brambles, and rough, overgrown vegetation a plastic-bladed trimmer cannot handle. It runs on 18V Power X-Change, weighs 6.45 kg, and can also switch to a 30 cm line-trimmer head for lighter work.

What Stands Out
The front-mounted motor improves weight distribution and cutting power at the head, which matters when pushing through thick growth. The 3-tooth metal blade handles brambles and woody weeds that would jam a nylon line, and when the job changes to finer grass, the head accepts a 30 cm automatic-feed line trimmer attachment instead. The split shaft folds down for storage in a shed or car boot.
Where It Falls Short
At 6.45 kg it is significantly heavier than a light grass trimmer like the GE-CT 18 — expect to use the padded shoulder strap for anything beyond a few minutes. It is also a "Solo" tool: battery and charger are bought separately, and heavy brush-cutting work drains batteries faster than trimming grass does.
Who Should Buy It?
Owners of larger, semi-wild plots — overgrown field edges, embankments, land around a second home used only seasonally — where a standard trimmer's plastic blades or nylon line would simply snap or jam. Not the right tool for routine lawn-edge maintenance; the GE-CT 18 is lighter and cheaper for that.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between the AGILLO and a lawn trimmer like the GE-CT 18?
- The AGILLO is a brush cutter built around a 200 mm metal blade for weeds, brambles, and rough overgrowth. The GE-CT 18 uses light plastic blades and is meant only for finish-trimming grass around edges a mower already cut close to.
- Can the AGILLO cut grass as well as weeds?
- Yes — it accepts a 30 cm automatic line-trimmer attachment in addition to the metal blade, so it can switch between rough clearing and lighter grass trimming.
- Does the AGILLO come with a battery?
- No, the 18/200 is sold as a bare "Solo" tool. An 18V Power X-Change battery and charger are required and sold separately.
- Is 6.45 kg too heavy to use comfortably?
- For short sessions it is manageable, and the included padded carrying strap and front-motor weight balance make longer sessions more comfortable than the weight figure alone suggests. For extended daily use, fatigue is still a realistic concern.
