Author Ryobi expand-it strimmer & rotavator

Hi, I'm in need of a decent hedge trimmer for our 3 privet hedges &
the yearly trim of the razor sharp pampas grass.

The one I have seen is £88 & comes with the strimmer.
I'm also thinking of getting the rotavator attachment no reall heavy
work, but was thinking it may come in use on the 3 raised beds yearly.

Is it any good?
So for for about £160 is it value for money?

I've been suckered into buying cheap kit in the past & regretted it
after.

Can anyone advise me of a good place to buy it online from ?

Thanks, any advice would be appreciated.
