Outdated Product
An eclectic lawn mower with two different attachments included: a classic bladed blade and a double nylon reel, which allows the device to cope with grass of varying hardness with maximum efficiency. The power of the built-in motor is 1200 W, the power source is the mains. Let's also pay attention to the fact that the working width of the fishing line is 35 cm, but the knife is only 23 cm. There is a shoulder strap that will evenly distribute the load of the trimmer.

Model overview based on user reviews  
The AL-KO BC 1200 E trimmer is a powerful electric tool with a 1200W motor, offering two speed settings for different types of vegetation. Users appreciate its strong build quality and effective cutting performance, especially with the included blade and line attachments. However, the trimmer has several drawbacks, including uncomfortable button placement that causes hand fatigue, vibration issues, and a troublesome gearbox that often requires lubrication and maintenance. Many users report problems with the reel and the lack of spare parts, leading to difficulties in repairs. Despite these issues, the trimmer is praised for its quiet operation compared to gasoline models and its ability to handle tough grass and weeds. Overall, while it offers good functionality, potential buyers should be aware of its ergonomic and maintenance challenges.

Search with better control (button placement)
2 June 2014 
Purchased from NL. This is the second brushcutter - the first was a gasoline expert. Gasoline ones have more convenient button control. It would be better to move it further away from the engine. Or make the button less tight.
Pros: - weight - power - quieter than gasoline - well-designed cable attachment
Cons:
- due to the need to press the button, located on the motor, firmly for a long time, a "tremor" of the hand and especially the thumb (tingling) remains.. It is more convenient when the button is not on the motor.
- check the firmness of the nuts fastening - due to vibration, at first the one that attaches the handle fell off, and then the screw that holds the motor
- the reel wears out faster than expected;
- maximum power is not achieved every time;
- the belt included is not comfortable;
- the additional handle is not comfortable

a model with serious flaws
14 April 2016 
no advantages
In the second season, it was covered, it was taken to a service center under warranty, it was repaired, two days after the repair it was covered again, the motor spins the spool, there was no rotation, it was taken for the third time they said it was necessary to change the entire anchor, and the manufacturer did not change the anchor, so I was left with a broken trimmer and under warranty for another 4 months.Chinese German [censored] rare this is Alco before this one was Italian Efko for season 5 failed, not counting the replacement of brushes for season 3, I understand the quality. I hope my review will help someone before buying this miracle technology.

normal model, nothing special
26 June 2016 
The gear on the motor armature's drive shaft gear reducer breaks, replacement only with a new motor assembly, cost of the issue is 2000 UAH + labor, and this problem occurs for many, so think carefully...... It worked for me for exactly 2 years, and it failed a week after the warranty ended.
Strong quality build
Broken gearbox in the engine compartment

Two nozzles included

One of the old-timers of the electric trimmer market has been produced by the AL-KO brand since 2013 and remains in demand among buyers today.

As a cutting tool, both a reel with a fishing line (its mowing width is 35 cm) and a steel bladed knife with a grip of 23 cm are provided. The first nozzle is designed for cutting grass in small areas, caring for hard-to-reach areas of the lawn, including against walls, tree boots. With the help of the AL-KO BC 1200 E knife, you can cope with more complex tasks, for example, getting rid of old weeds and other dense unwanted vegetation.

2 speed

The 1200W motor has two speed settings. On the first, you should work with sparse and thin vegetation, and on the second, with thick grass and large weeds. By default, the scythe runs at the first speed. The transition to increased power is carried out both automatically (with increasing loads) and manually: by quickly pressing the start button again. As users note, manual speed changes do not always work the first time, which we attribute to the shortcomings of the model.

Convenient and practical

AL-KO BC 1200 E has an ergonomic, adjustable handle. A wide plastic deck protects the operator from cut grass, and a collapsible shaft simplifies transportation and storage of the scythe. A very noticeable 5.1 kg weight of the device can be transferred from the arms to the torso with the help of the shoulder strap that comes with the package. Acoustic discomfort during operation is minimal (sound pressure up to 81 dB).

The vulnerable point of the trimmer is considered to be a gearbox — a mechanism that transmits rotation from the motor to the working nozzle. Service centre specialists recommend initially checking for the presence of factory grease on it, systematically producing it yourself using gear oils. With this maintenance, the AL-KO BC 1200 E is able to serve for many years, delighting users with its efficiency and versatility.
