I need to buy a whipper snipper.

My last electric was a 240V McCulloch about 10yrs ago and whilst it seemed to have enough power, it was a PITA as it was
(1) not as big as a petrol one so I was hunched over using it and it was real uncomfortable, you needed to be 4ft tall to use it.
(2) it used thinner line so it was fkd on buffalo, it snapped off every 5m of cutting.
About the time I got the sh!ts with it I moved and didn't need one for years.


So anyway now I have moved and the layout of the lawn means I need one again.
I have a LOW budget and whilst the cheapo petrol ones are good I know they will be a pain to start after 3 or 4 uses and may not last etc.

Considering electric again as
(1) i know how good brushlees and LiPo is from my RC stuff.
(2) I only have bumfluff lawn now, not buffalo

anyone....? $100 cheapo 2 stroke, or $100 - $150 electric? It will only be used once a month in summer and once in the whole of winter maybe....

(BTW I don't have any cordless tools where I already have the battery etc)
