Hello, welcome back to the channel. This is the Bosch EasyGrassCut 26 Grass trimmer, or is it a strimmer? We'll find out in this unboxing first impressions review. This is how the Bosch EasyGrassCut 26 arrives. Uh, got this from Amazon, and when you get it from Amazon, they just send this as a box with an address label on the front. While I'm opening the box, let me give you a tour of the packaging. Uh, you can pause the video if you want to read any of, uh, any of these details. This is the Bosch EasyGrassCut 26 Grass trimmer, corded Grass trimmer, bit of a tongue twister.

We've got some documentation here, and we've got the handle, and wow, look at this. It comes with, uh, an extendable pole that you just lock together. Should we just do that now? When you get it out of the box, it's in these three parts that you put together, and one of these has already fallen off, so this is good. You've got to remove these knobs to stop the bars from clicking together because you've got to do it in a particular order. So it's the top one first, the section with the handle. We'll take out this protective nut here and get rid of that, and then we can lock it into place. And it's really straightforward. You just find the hole and click this together. Once we do this, this will be forever. We can't, uh, disassemble it, take it apart. So let's squeeze it in and just turn it till it clicks. There, so that's now locked forever. And we'll do the same with the bottom one. Take off the rubber ring, and then we'll squeeze these together. It feels really well built. I'll show you why in a moment. I'll click this in there. Click. So now we have the Grass trimmer. The strimmer is in place.

Oh, on first impressions, this pole feels so much better than the previous pole because I actually did an unboxing of an older Bosch strimmer, and the pole just felt thinner. This feels nice. It's like a sort of matte black brushed feeling here, and then we've got the trimmer head. Now, I had a whole debate on the last video about, do you call it a strimmer or a trimmer? Turns out that I call it a strimmer. I call these strimmers. They strim the garden. Apparently, that's a trademark name, so that's why Bosch don't call it a strimmer. It's a Grass trimmer. But up here at the top, we've got the handle. So there's like a safety bar and a safety button as well. So to start the trimmer, you have to push in, and then you can pull up the button bar along the bottom. You have to do both, and then when you let go, the thing turns off. This feels really nice, nice grip, and then we've got a handle here, an adjustable handle. Push the button in, and you can set this. You have to squeeze both buttons on either side, and then you can set the angle that you want the handle to be at. Down at the other end, the business end, this is, wow, this is looking much nicer than the old one. Uh, so this looks like it might last longer, but you can feed out the line by pressing this button here, and then you can pull more line out if you need to. It's supposed to auto-feed, so it's supposed to maintain the same length as it goes.

But the next thing we need to do, oh, should I, should I show you? You squeeze these buttons to see inside. There you go. And there's the trimmer line inside, and that's how you change it. And you can just push this lid back on. Should just click. There we go. So we need to fit a guard, and that's in the box below here. Let's get rid of the old one. On first impressions, it does feel really nice. This feels a lot better than previous Grass trimmers I've had. But let's fit this guard first, and we are going to need to remove the screw so that we can fit it onto the trimmer head. You'll need a crosshead screwdriver for this. Just unscrew it, and then we need to clip it onto the Grass trimmer itself. And you want the guard part to be facing towards you when you're holding it. Pull out the metal bar so you've got a bit of space to work with. We just slide it over the holder here, and it should just slot into place. Now we can screw the protection guard onto the Bosch strimmer.

It's a really long screw, so you might want, uh, a power screwdriver for this. I've got my Ikea screwdriver for this. There's a link to a video on that down in the description. But now that's on, so now you've got a guard on this side, but more importantly, you've got a guard to protect your feet. On the guard, just so you know, because the cord spins around this way, there's like a blade here to keep the strimmer line the right length. So this will cut off the excess on the first spin, and then hopefully, it will keep auto-feeding, so you won't need to do that much more with it.

First impressions: what I love about this EasyGrassCut 26 is the length of it. It's just the right height for me. I think I've got some footage of me using the Flymo strimmer, and that's a lovely small unit, but the problem with being small is that I've got to kind of lean over to get low down, and you get a bad back with someone my height. I'm about 5'10", but with the Bosch EasyGrassCut 26, I don't have to stretch down because it's a longer pole that the trimmer is on, so I can reach low down without having to bend over.

Let me give you some facts from the box. If it's 280 watts and it's called the EasyGrassCut 26 because the cutting line has a diameter of 26 cm, the strimmer line it uses is a 1.6 mm line diameter. It weighs 2 kg, and when you're swinging this around, I can manage it, and I tend to complain about garden tools that are too heavy. So this is pretty much the right weight. It also feels substantial and well-built. The power cable length is 6 m, so mind you don't cut that into, like, uh, someone in my household did recently. As well as being lightweight, it has a semi-automatic line feeder to keep the strimmer line the right length. The handle, as you saw, was adjustable, so you can have it at just the right angle. And there's a metal bar. That metal bar is the plant protector, so you can set the distance from the line so that you don't end up cutting your plants while you are weed whacking. So we'll obviously want to set this to be the length of the cord, and that way, I won't end up killing my wife's plants. I think you lift the bar over the notch on the protective guard like that and click it on both sides. It can now extend, so if I pull it out, this will help me gauge where I don't want the strimmer line to go.

By the way, this is the first use, so if I give it one spin by holding the trigger and pressing the safety catch, that noise is the blade on the protective guard cutting off the end of the line.

Okay, we've had our first line loss here, so let me turn it off by the mains. What you do is you squeeze the two buttons on either side of this lid here, and that reveals the strimmer line inside. I'm going to lift the spool, lift the cartridge out of the spool. There we go. Whoa, don't want to lose the line. We need the line to be tight in here, so I'm just going to rewind it. Just make sure this is nice and taut, and then I'm going to feed the line into the hole on the side here, like that, and then I can put the cartridge down onto the spool holder, and then I can rewind it so I don't lose too much line. And now I can just put the lid back on. All you do is just slide it and make sure the buttons go into the guide holes until it clicks. There we go, so we are now good to go, and I'm going to try edging this section of sleeper again. I forgot to do one thing: that's to feed the power cable through this hole. So if you feed it up from underneath and then hook it over this hook, and that takes the tension, so it means that you're not tugging on where it's connected to the strimmer. So I'll just give that a nice pull, and then that will last you now forever. Let's try and do some edging on this, uh, railway sleeper. So I think I need to get used to using this Bosch trimmer, but, uh, I'm just—I'm turning it just at an angle so that the trimmer line hits the edge of the sleeper. I don't want to snap the trimmer line again, uh, but it seems to be cleaning up the grass around the, uh, wooden sleeper really nicely there. Let's try it on these paving slabs. These are concrete slabs, and the trimmer seems to be coping quite well with cleaning up around the edges. That grass has overgrown nearly all of them. I'm not sure I'll do all of the paving slabs today, so this is just for you, a special demonstration for you. I can seem to come at it from any angle, and it does lift the grass away. But on this slab, I have the same problem again. Maybe it's just not designed to hit hard objects, and maybe it's designed to come apart when it hits an object so it doesn't damage the object. And look, maybe I've gone too close to the hard objects. You can see that the cap is scratched already. This is just the first time I've used this.

I don't usually go really big on the safety messages on this channel because I figure you're a grownup, you know what you need to do. But I would say I am really glad that I'm wearing glasses with this Grass trimmer because the stuff that's flying up does come up at quite a speed. You can feel lots of stuff flying out everywhere, so I'm really glad I've got my glasses on. Of course, the other danger in our garden are the holes dug by our Cocker Spaniel dog, Casper. I have to mind that I don't fall into one of those hidden by the grass.

The height of this Bosch trimmer is just right for me. I can just reach out. That's a pro. Another pro is the metal plant protector. I've got a much better idea on this Grass trimmer of how close to go to the plants or things like these monkey bars. It's a lot easier to guide it with that metal guide. Let me show you what it's like using the Bosch Grass trimmer right up against this wooden paneling, which we can see if the line snaps this time or whether it even damages the wood. So I'm getting quite a good close cut here, and I've got pebbles buried under here, and, uh, there's a bramble growing through, but it seems to be getting through all of it really well. So this is getting top marks for my edging around the happy heart.

Let's take a look now at the wood, get a closeup just to see if there's any damage. Ooh, some spider's going nuts here, but you can see it's just light scratching of the wood. And obviously, you know, I could be more careful with the bar. I did kind of twist the angle of the trimmer to get a nice close cut there, and I think some of these scratches are from previous trimmers as well. So I'm really happy with how the EasyGrassCut 26 does the edging around the heart.

Maybe I'm being too hasty here. I'm putting the Bosch EasyGrassCut 26 deliberately into this really thick clutch of brambles. This is really thick thorny growth here, uh, just to see if it lasts. And the trimmer line does really well. It actually holds it together, and I can make short work of this really difficult bit of fence work that's just really overgrown. I'm really trying not to cut the electrical lead on my solar-powered lights here, and that, again, that metal bar, the protective guide, really helps me to gauge how close I can go and what angle I can push the trimmer in to not hit something that I don't want to hit. I've got strawberries growing under here. I don't want to destroy those. I wouldn't mind some strawberries in a few weeks' time.

How I REPLACE Philips Shaver blades! New shaving heads for cleaner shave...



TRANSCRIPT: (CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE)

THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!

And it sounds like this. It shouldn't sound like this, but it sounds like this now.

I am going to replace my shaving heads on my Philips shaver. I'm using a Series 3000, but I think this is the same for most Philips shavers. 

If you press this eject button - I'm sure you know this - but this is the bin that collects all of the beard trimmings, and all the shaving goes into there. 

What is not quite obvious is that on some of these, you can actually pull this off to wash it inside, clean all in there, just run water because it's a wet and dry version. 

I've got the official Philips shaving heads replacement set. 

This is for the Series 3000 or 1000. 

First thing we need to do is to twist this centre lock mechanism. 

You just turn it anticlockwise, and that releases the holder. 

These push the blades down into position. It's like a little springiness them. 

But just for demonstration, the three blades sit in a cradle like this. 

They push up and down against your face, but we're going to remove them. You just push them out. 

This is how the blades work inside the grill. 

There's a free running set of blades. 

They cost about $20 or 20 British pounds. Some instructions on the side here. Let's see what's inside the pack. 

You can get fake Philips or, you know, off-brand ones. 

These cost about twice the price of the non-official ones, but I thought I use this every day. I didn't want to skimp on this. 

And the way to fit them is pretty self-explanatory, but I'll show you. 

These ones are slightly different from the ones that came with the shaver. They have these lugs on the side, and they fit into the gaps on the holder on the top. So there is a right way of doing this. 

You kind of drop it in like that, and it stops it from turning around. 

If you don't meet those lugs, the blade is kind of offset, so you want that to be flush. 

So you just turn it around to be that kind of orientation, and you see it drops straight in. 

So the other lugs are here and here. So I will drop the lugs in that way around, just tuck them under the central pole here so those two are flush. 

And then we'll do the third blade. So now we have all three blades in position. I can now fit the springy holder. 

You see it kind of springs like that, and it goes this way up. So you want the turning dial to be facing you with the arrows, and then we're going to line up the gaps with the three prongs here, which means that the springs will sit directly above each blade, and they guide this in those prongs. 

So it should look like that. 

And then crucially, we're going to turn it clockwise, so against where the arrows are pointing, and that locks it into place. So now I can push down, and it's all held in place. 

Wow, it's going to be so good to have my shaver back, not screeching at me. 

You don't need something screeching at you in the morning, do you? 

And then we are good to go. All we need to do now is to push this back into the holder, and the shaver is sounding much healthier. 

I can see bits of beard everywhere in the sunlight. 

The sun's still holding out, so let's see. Let's see if this actually works. 

Oh my goodness.

I am calling this a Dad Delivers success.

Why I CLEAN & REPLACE PHILIPS SHAVER blades!

Why I CLEAN & REPLACE PHILIPS SHAVER blades!

How do you CLEAN a Philips shaver inside... and how do you change and REPLACE the round shaver blades? I've always used a Philishave electric shavers - currently series 3000, and share how I can take out the rotating blades, take them apart to clean and wash. Plus I show how to fit new Philips replacement rotary blades shaver heads for the 1000, 3000 and 5000 series shavers.

Hello, welcome back to the channel. It's a gorgeous day today, a gorgeous gate, a gorgeous gate, that's not right. Hello, welcome back to the channel. It's a gorgeous day for doing this. I am going to replace, change my shaving heads on my Philips shaver. It's a Series 3000 filler shave, and it has these heads. And how do you clean a Philips shaver? I'm, I'm going to do the discussing, and we're going to clean out this electric shaver. I'm using a Series 3000, but I think this is the same for most Philips shavers. Can I just say from the outset, this is my dad's shaver headset. He has a Philips shaver too and didn't know how to, how to clean his. I'm not sure many people know that you can actually clean inside the blades because although it has a compartment for capturing the shavings, some people don't realize that you can actually take apart the blades themselves and clean all inside there, clean the gunk out, and clean and remove all the residue. Also, I damaged my shaver, dropped it out the drawer, and it sounds like this. It shouldn't sound like this, but it sounds like this.

Now let me take the blade out, and I'll show you what it should sound like. So much more pleasing. Uh, I think, think the blade got dented. Let me show you. There's a little grill along the top. I don't know if you can see just there, the teeth. There's a tiny dent on the grill, and it means that the blades inside hit it at that point and makes that really horrible noise. So I've got to replace this blade now. The new thing we're trying today is to clean this wet and dry Philips Shaver Series 3000, but also 1000, 5000, and other Philips electric shavers. They're sometimes called filler shaves, aren't they? But I don't think they've used that name in a while. If you press this eject button, I'm sure you know this, but this is the bin that collects all of the beard trimmings, and all the shaving goes into there. What isn't quite obvious is that on some of these, you can actually pull this off to wash it inside, clean all in there, just run water because it's a wet and dry version. Uh, so that comes off here. We'll put that to one side, and I use an old toothbrush. They used to give you those really nice black brushes with the long bristles to get all underneath the motors. If I press the on button, you can see them spinning around. If we go closer, you can see the motors have a little gap underneath them, and you can bend them. So if I get the toothbrush, it's much better with a long-bristled brush. We'll just clean inside, and this is going to get disgusting, I promise you. But there's going to be quite a lot coming out, and I cleaned these blades the other day, and I've got a special set from where my dad, he couldn't actually get into the blades. So if you have trouble with, uh, gripping things, you might want to get someone to do this for you. I'm going to show you how to clean these blades as well as replace them. So I've got the official—let's reach it over—I've got the official Philips shaving heads replacement set. This is for the Series 3000 or 1000. First thing we need to do is to twist this center lock mechanism. You just turn it anticlockwise, and that releases the holder. These push the blades down into position. They're like a little springy in them. Let's give this a little brush and a clean. Like I said, I did this the other week, so it did not look like this. And I'm going to show you what a long-term not cleaned set of blades looks like in a moment. But just for demonstration, the three blades sit in the cradle like this. They push up and down against your face, but we're going to remove them. You just push them out. Now what's really important with this is that you keep each blade with the grill because they have worn down over time, and if you start mixing them up, apparently, that's not a good thing. So we're going to keep this blade with this grill that holds it in place. Let's take all three out, and then we can clean the holder. I'll show you how to replace them in a moment. But you can get the brush in between on the top, and because the thing moves up and down to fit the contours of your face, there are bits of beard in between. So we're going to just run the brush between these holders, and then on the other side, really get the bristles in and give it a good clean. We'll get this ready for the new blades, but let me show you the old blades. This is how the blades work inside the grill. There's a free running—whoa—set of blades. So we got two places to clean here. We put that there. First place is between the blades themselves. So I try to give the overall set of blades a nice brush, get rid of the beard there. And then there's bits of skin and debris that go underneath the blades here, so I just brush up. That should clean them out. And then in the grill, there's more debris here, and this is where dead skin collects around the edges. So I'm just going to go around the sides, and you can see all that skin coming off. Wow, all of this has come from about a fortnight. I do this about every 6 months, but I think you're supposed to do it a lot more frequently than that. And then I'm going to do the same with the other two blades to speed this up. The other thing I'm doing is cleaning the top of the grill as well. So I'm just making sure to get all the dead skin and the beard debris out with the shaving heads. Don't forget to try and keep each blade together with the grill that it belongs with. The sun's come out for this. That's pretty good, isn't it? We might get this done before the thunderstorms arrive.

I have got an extra special treat for you. I'm going to show you what happens if you don't clean them, and it gets to the point where it really stops cutting altogether. So if your Philips shaver has stopped working, this could be what has happened. Look at this. Oh, this is revolting. If you've not done this before, your blades might just look like this. Oh my goodness. Here's a secret that I don't think I've shared on the channel before, but I have never wet shaved. When I was growing up, I had really terrible acne and just started shaving with the electric shaver. Maybe I should wet shave on the channel. That'll be a fun video, but I'm just really happy with the Philips shaver. These rotary blades mean that you can just pull it across the beard in any direction, and I found with other shavers like Braun, where you can only go in one direction, it's actually really irritating and takes five times longer to achieve a clean shave. But with the toothbrush, it's really easy to clean out even the worst gunk from your shaving heads. If you can run it over quickly, you need to clean these bits out 'cause these allow the bits of beard to go through and fall into the hopper that collects the beard. So this is what it looked like before, and now this is how it looks after. That will now start cutting your beard again. Inside the grill, just as a gunk too, we've got dead skin on the side, although it stopped working so thoroughly that I don't think it's collected anything on the side. And we could do the sides. We get some debris collecting on the sides here and the grill on top. Let's open the next one up, see what treats await us. Oh my goodness, this. It's so packed in. Can you see that? It just stopped cutting altogether. All we do is run the toothbrush over, and you can see the sheer amount of beard and dead skin that's collected. It's not that long. I think this is about 6 months' worth. Let's do a third one just for the fun of it. Look, it's just swirled around and solidified. You can hear the chunks of beard and skin falling onto my pad underneath. So just give this a huge brush. I just realized this is a clean with me, isn't it? But for, uh, for dads. There we go. I wish I could teach the kids to do this for me.

Now, how do you fit brand new shaving heads for your Philips shaver? This did look nice and new. It's now covered in beard. They cost about $20 or 20 British pounds. Some instructions on the side here. Let's see what's inside the pack. You can get fake Philips or, you know, off-brand ones. These cost about twice the price of the non-official ones, but I thought I use this every day. I didn't want to skimp on this. By the way, look at how much has come out. That's revolting. Let's open up the new blades, and the way to fit them is pretty self-explanatory, but I'll show you. These ones are slightly different from the ones that came with the shaver. They have these lugs on the side, and they fit into the gaps on the holder on the top. So there is a right way of doing this. You kind of drop it in like that, and it stops it from turning around. If you don't meet those lugs, the blade is kind of offset, so you want that to be flush. So you just turn it around to be that kind of orientation. You see it drops straight in. So the other lugs are here and here. So I will drop the lugs in that way around, just tuck them under the central pole here, so those two are flush. And then we'll do the third blade. I'm not going to mix them up because I want them to get even wear, so I'm really, you know, treating myself. Treat yourself. So now we have all three blades in position. I can now fit the springy holder. See, it kind of springs like that, and it goes this way up. So you want the turning dial to be facing you with the arrows, and then we're going to line up the gaps with the three prongs here, which means that the springs will sit directly above each blade, and they guide this in those prongs. So it should look like that, and then crucially, we're going to turn it clockwise, so against where the arrows are pointing, and that locks it into place. So now we can push down, and it's held in place. Wow, it's going to be so good to have my shaver back, not screeching at me. You don't need something screeching at you in the morning, do you? And then we are good to go. All we need to do now is to push this back into the holder, and the shaver is sounding much healthier. I can see bits of beard everywhere in the sunlight. The sun's still holding out. Let's see, let's see if this actually works. Oh my goodness, yeah. I'm going to be ready for a wedding this afternoon, so that's good.
