Electric Strimmer - Recommendations Please!

[Tuffwood]

Hi Just thought I would throw this out there and see what replies I get. I am looking to by an Electric Strimmer and wondered as there are so many out there what the consensus of opinion was on which would be a good one to buy. Just after a mid range one and I have my eye on a Flymo Contour 500 XT.
If anyone could tell me of their suggestions as to good and bad buys and any experiences I would appreciate it.
Thanks All.

I used to have a Flymo one and it was decent enough - though the 'auto' feed thing didn't always work.

I bought a Black and Decker one some years later and I've used it about 3-4 times. It vibrates wildly and you end up with tingly hands and arms after using it. I tend to use the hand shears now.

This is the best strimmer I've had (and I've had a few)

Proof in you get what you pay for I guess. This is similar (if not the same) as mine:
