Sorry, not had the battery equipment – but we did buy a very cheap grass mower from them, not unlike the one shown here and with mains supply. It has outperformed any reasonable expectation, at one point smashing 2 foot riverside Sedges and Reeds on a half acre plot. Superb kit for the money.
Apparently a lot of the Lidl Parkside equipment comes off the same production lines.
Personally I’m 100% Parkside these days, the 4ah batteries are amazing and I’ve never been disappointed in any of the cordless tools. I’m going to switch to the cordless lawnmower the next time it comes around.

I wouldn’t buy battery stuff for a business. Petrol stuff is going to last you longer if you get them serviced. 2 batteries won’t last a day if you have a large garden to work on, and the batteries take hours to recharge. This deal is fine if you have a small garden, but no good for business

Fine for home, I have the mid tier garden (strimmer, mower and hedge cutter). Power tools too, went high tier for the hammer drill and mid tier for SDS, jigsaw, multi tool etc.
Only negative was the first drill I ordered from Amazon was DOA. Replacement has been used in anger without issue.

We have the hedge trimmer and it’s been fairly flawless so far. The guard broke at some point, but otherwise a good buy if the price is right.

I have the brushless battery drill, had it for 5 years.This has been amazing, it’s drilled millions of holes, mixed hundreds of buckets of plaster and lime mortar.
Had the twin pack of drills, one hammer, one normal for 6 years both been great.
The angle grinder with a 4ah battery is awesome, use it for cutting natural stone and metal box, and metal sheets etc.
The chainsaw sharpener is good.
The jigsaw has been excellent.
Mains wise I have the biscuit jointer which is ok but the orbital sander is terrible.
The battery stuff is excellent, and I would buy everything if I needed it without question.

I started with this kit doing garden maintenance, look you won’t get big lawns done or attract large customers with it, I started with the lawnmower and quickly got a cheap petrol lawnmower from homebase for £170.
You don’t want to run out of battery power half way through cutting grass, never go battery when starting up, petrol is the easiest most reliable and cheapest.
My main thing is even though battery may be attractive we have just started going across to battery commercial equipment after 3 years of business. And the cost is around £3000-£4500
May I suggest my start up kit
Titan multi tool £110 comes with trimmer and hedgecutter
Cheap petrol mower (pick one up second hand on Facebook for £50-100)
I didn’t start with a blower either just a brush.
Once you get set up and in the business have a look at going battery after your business is secure and you have clients.

I see this is from the B&Q site, but check the actual supplier first and buy direct for less:
