- Those who have flowerbeds, sidewalks and areas that are difficult to reach with the lawnmower

Why choose the Einhell GE-CG 18/100 Li-Solo?
Two tools in one
With the grass blade, you can trim your lawn, while the shrub blade can handle small bushes and hedges. A single machine covers a variety of maintenance needs.
100mm grass blade
It is perfect for reaching areas that the lawnmower normally leaves behind: edges, corners, perimeters of flowerbeds and areas near walls or paving.
200mm shrub blade
It allows you to carry out small shaping and maintenance jobs on shrubs, bushes and hedges without having to use a larger and heavier hedge trimmer.
Cutting capacity up to 8 mm
The shrub blade is suitable for young vegetation and small twigs, making the machine particularly effective for frequent maintenance interventions.
Tool-free blade change
You can quickly switch from grass trimming to shrub care without wrenches, screwdrivers, or other complicated operations.
Laser-cut and diamond-coated blades
Quality blades help ensure a clean, precise cut, which is especially important when making visible trims on bushes and lawn edges.
Weighs only 0.69 kg
The very light construction makes the GE-CG 18/100 particularly easy to handle and allows it to be used comfortably even for precision work.
Softgrip handle
The soft surface of the handle improves grip and control of the tool while working.
Power X-Change 18V System
You can use the same compatible battery in numerous other Einhell tools for home and garden.
Where is it particularly useful?
- Lawn edges after the lawnmower has passed
- Around flowerbeds and planters
- Near walls, curbs and sidewalks
- In hard-to-reach corners
- To shape small ornamental bushes
- To keep shrubs and small hedges in order
- For quick trimming without having to prepare a larger hedge trimmer
When it's NOT the right choice
- If you need to cut large areas of grass
- If you need to prune branches taller than about 8mm
- If you have to work on large and very developed hedges
- If you are looking for a real hedge trimmer for intensive work
- If you need to clear tall, thick grass over large areas
The GE-CG 18/100 is primarily a finishing and maintenance tool. It shouldn't replace a lawnmower, brush cutter, or hedge trimmer for heavier jobs: its advantage is precisely its precision in small jobs.
Einhell GE-CG 18/100 vs Blue Bird PS 21-25: which one to choose?
The Einhell GE-CG 18/100 Li-Solo and the Blue Bird PS 21-25 are both compact and battery-powered, but they are not direct alternatives : they are designed for different jobs.
The Einhell is above all a shear for finishing the garden : with the 100 mm blade it tidies the edges of the lawn and with the 200 mm blade it finishes small bushes and shrubs.
The Blue Bird PS 21-25 is a true pruning shear , designed to cut branches up to 25 mm. It is therefore much more suitable for vineyards, orchards, olive groves and pruning plants and shrubs.

| Typology | Grass and shrub shears | Pruning shears |
| Main use | Lawn edges, bushes and trims | Pruning branches |
| Cutting system | Grass blade + shrub blade | Pruning blade |
| Grass blade | ✔️ 100 mm | ❌ No |
| Lama shrubs | ✔️ 200 mm | ❌ No |
| Cutting thickness / diameter | Up to 8 mm with shrub blade | Up to 25 mm |
| Motor | With brushes | Brushless |

| Batteries included | ❌ No | ✔️ 2 batteries |
| Weight | 0.69 kg without battery | Approximately 0.9 kg with battery |

👉 Bottom line: Choose the Einhell GE-CG 18/100 if your goal is to trim lawn edges, shape small bushes, and keep your garden tidy . It's even more convenient if you already own Einhell Power X-Change batteries.
Instead, choose the Blue Bird PS 21-25 with 2 batteries if you need to carry out real pruning of branches up to 25 mm on plants, fruit trees, vineyards and olive trees.
Massimo 's usage tips and suggestions
I see these shears above all as the machine you use after cutting the lawn .
The lawnmower does the bulk of the work, but then there are still those few centimeters left near walls, around flowerbeds, or along curbs. That's where a compact machine like the GE-CG 18/100 comes in handy.
Don't wait until the grass gets too tall
To get the best result use it frequently.
On the edges of the lawn, a regular cut is much quicker and cleaner than letting the grass grow a lot and then trying to recover it all at once.
The 100mm blade is made for precision
You don't have to think of this machine as a small lawnmower.
The 100 mm blade is especially useful for getting into difficult spots and doing neat work where a large machine can't reach.
With shrubs, pay attention to the thickness
With the 200 mm blade you can work very well on young vegetation and small twigs.
When you start to reach tough, thick branches, however, don't force the machine. The indicated capacity is about 8 mm : for larger diameters, switch to pruning shears or other more suitable tools.
Always clean the blades after work
Especially when cutting shrubs and hedges, resin, sap and plant residues can remain on the blades.
A quick clean at the end of each job keeps the movement freer and helps the blades work better over time.
Do not store the machine with wet grass on the blades
After cutting wet or very damp grass, dry the cutting area thoroughly before putting the tool away.
It's a small attention that helps preserve the blades and keeps the machine ready for the next use.
Changing the blade is simple, but always remove the battery
The system allows you to replace the blade without tools.
Before performing any changes or cleaning, however, always remove the battery from the car . This is a simple but important procedure.
Which battery would I choose?
On a car this small I wouldn't necessarily go for the largest battery available.
A compact battery keeps the tool light and well-balanced , which in my opinion is much more important on scissors used for precision work.
My final advice
If you already have Einhell Power X-Change products, this is one of those machines that costs relatively little to add to your system and that you end up using very often.
It doesn't replace a lawnmower or hedge trimmer, but it does the jobs well for which larger machines are inconvenient.
👉 In practice: lawnmower for the bulk of the lawn, GE-CG 18/100 to leave truly finished edges and flowerbeds.
