Einhell Agillo cordless brush cutter 36V Power X-Change (AGILLO 36/255) – solo tool, with metal blades
Product description
If you want cordless scythe-style mowing for a home garden, the Einhell Agillo is built around comfort and straightforward handling. It’s also a slightly more “proper tool” approach than entry-level strimmers, because it uses a 3-tooth blade and metal blade set for brushing through tougher growth. That said, it’s a 36V Power X-Change system tool sold without a battery, so you’ll need compatible Power X-Change cells already (or be ready to buy them separately).
On paper, it aims for an easy everyday workflow: adjustable twin handles for a secure grip, electronic speed control, and a bump-feed line system for line cutting. If your main pain point is keeping edges and weedy patches under control without dragging a lead around, this is the kind of cordless setup that can fit nicely.
The essentials
The Einhell Cordless Brush Cutter 36V Power X-Change is a cordless brush cutter for home garden mowing and weed trimming, designed to tackle vegetation with a 3-tooth cutting blade. It uses a brushless motor (PurePOWER) which, in this type of tool, typically helps with low-maintenance ownership and running performance compared with older carbon-brush motor designs.
Because it’s a Power X-Change (PXC) platform tool, it’s part of a wider battery ecosystem: batteries in the PXC system can be used across compatible tools. The description also says it can be powered by two 18V batteries, which is how the 36V class is reached in this setup.
What you’ll notice in use
Handling matters with tools like this, and the Agillo is clearly positioned around that. It has a universally adjustable twin-handle, so you can set it up to feel stable rather than awkward in the arms and shoulders. It also features electronic speed control, with a maximum output of 6,300 rpm that you can control electronically.
There’s also a practical spindle lock system for changing the cutter set. In day-to-day ownership, this tends to be the difference between “I’ll do it properly” and “I’ll avoid it because it’s fiddly”. The split shaft is another usability point: it’s meant to make transport easier and storage more space-saving.
A concrete example: imagine you’ve just let a verge grow up along a fence line. You’d likely switch to the blade set for thicker growth, then dial the speed to match how dense it is. When it’s more stringy or lighter weeds, the line spool with bump feed can help you maintain a clean edge without having to stop constantly.
Where it shines
This one is at its best when your garden has recurring weed and scrub patches rather than perfectly manicured lawn only. The 3-tooth blade and metal blade approach are there for vegetation cutting, and the bump feed line spool covers the “quick touch-up” side.
If you already own PXC batteries, the value shifts in your favour. The tool being “solo” means you’re not paying for batteries you may not need again. Also, electronic speed control gives you more control over how aggressive the cutting feels, rather than a simple on/off behaviour.
Things to watch before buying
Ten seconds of caution before you commit: it’s sold as “solo” with no battery included. That means you’ll need compatible Power X-Change batteries (the platform description says two 18V batteries power it). If you don’t already have them, the overall cost can add up quickly.
Also, while the electronic control and brushless motor are positives, cordless brush cutters still depend on battery capacity and workload. If you’re planning long sessions through very heavy, dense growth, you may need to manage runtime and keep an eye on performance as the battery drains.

Buying verdict
Worth considering if you want a cordless brush cutter for a home garden that prioritises comfortable handling, electronic speed control, and a blade designed for vegetation cutting. It makes sense if you’re already in the Einhell Power X-Change battery ecosystem, because the “solo” tool approach can be a tidy way to expand your cordless range without double-buying batteries.
It might not be the best match if you don’t own PXC batteries and you’re expecting the kit to be ready-to-go straight out of the box—because it’s described as without battery. Also, if your garden work is mostly fine lawn edging with minimal weeds, you may find you don’t need a brush cutter-style tool with blade and higher cutting capability.
