Which one should you buy?
For most Australian homeowners the Stanley FATMAX V20 18V String Trimmer Kit at around $178 is the right buy — and the key word is kit. It arrives with an 18V V20 4.0Ah battery and a charger in the box, so it cuts grass the moment it lands; there's nothing extra to add. You get a 33cm cutting swath that clears the lawn edges and nature strip in fewer passes, automatic line feed so you're not bumping the head every minute, variable speed and a gear-drive transmission for torque in thicker growth. It's the honest "just buy this and go" pick.
If you're already in (or buying into) the Bosch 18V Power for All ecosystem, the Bosch EasyGrassCut 18 at about $74 is the cheapest entry — but be clear it's a bare tool: no battery, no charger. Add a Bosch 18V battery and charger (roughly $60–90) and the real all-in is closer to $140. For a bigger yard or anyone with Ryobi gear already, the Ryobi 18V ONE+ Grass Trimmer Starter Kit at roughly $280 includes a 1.5Ah battery and charger and rides Australia's dominant cordless platform.
