Hi all,

I am looking for a grass trimmer for small house backyard. The area is around 100 sqft with Philippine grass. The budget is around RM300. Prefer something easy to use like an electric trimmer since I am quite new to this.

I am thinking of getting one of the two below. Appreciate if forumer here can help be decide or recommend. Thanks

1. Hitachi CG25SC Grass Trimmer
- Cheaper (RM 220 vs RM 300)
- Lighter (2.3kg vs 2.6kg)

2. Makita UR3000 String Trimmer
- Larger cutting width (30cm vs 25cm)
- More power? (450W vs 400W)

I end up buying Hitachi CG25SC Grass Trimmer for RM200 form a local hardware store. It comes with the unit, extension wire (15ft?), additional trimmer line and goggle,

Overall, it get the job done for a newbie like me. For me, it is quite loud and the vibration is quite strong but manageable once I get used to it.

The only issue I have is cleaning it after use. There are grass residue on the cutting guard and near the trimmer line. I end up using cloth to clean it. Is there a more efficient way to clean it?
