What Are the Trusted Reviews Awards?
The Trusted Reviews Awards are among the UK’s most respected annual accolades, celebrating the best technology and home products released in the past 12 months. Organised by Trusted Reviews, a leading British review site known for its in-depth and impartial testing, these awards cover multiple sectors—from smartphones and laptops to kitchen appliances and garden tools.
Every shortlisted product has been hands-on tested by the editorial team under both lab conditions and real-world use. Winners are chosen based on detailed performance analysis, user experience, value for money, and reliability. Certain categories also invite reader voting, allowing the public to champion their favourite products.
This is why the Trusted Reviews Awards carry so much weight: the results reflect both expert opinion and real-world user satisfaction.
Why These Awards Matter
Winning a Trusted Reviews Award signals that a product has been independently verified for excellence by one of the UK’s most respected authorities on technology and home equipment.
For consumers, it’s a powerful assurance of quality, durability, and value. For manufacturers, these awards serve as industry recognition of exceptional engineering standards and true product innovation.
STIHL’s triple win this year demonstrates its continued leadership in garden machinery and reinforces its reputation for creating high-performance cordless and electric tools that stand the test of time.
So, without further ado, let’s take a closer look at STIHL’s winning products…
STIHL RMA 248.3 Cordless Lawnmower – Best Lawn Mower
Crowned Best Lawn Mower 2025, the STIHL RMA 248.3 Cordless Lawnmower represents the perfect blend of power, precision, and convenience. Designed for domestic use, it’s part of the STIHL AK System, so runs on the interchangeable batteries used to power all of this range’s tools.
With a 48 cm (18.5 inch) cutting width and adjustable cutting height of 20–100 mm, the RMA 248.3 is ideal for most small to medium-sized lawns. The durable steel deck ensures a long service life, while a mono-handlebar design allows for comfortable manoeuvring and easy access to the spacious 52-litre grass catcher box.
Users can choose from four mowing modes—cut and collect, cut and drop, side discharge, or mulching—making it easy to achieve the desired finish. Powered by an AK 20 lithium-ion battery, it is capable of mowing up to 220 m² of grass on a single charge, with an Eco mode to optimise energy use for maximum efficiency.
Quiet, lightweight, and easy to store, the RMA 248.3 is ideal for homeowners looking to buy a STIHL lawn mower that’s both environmentally friendly and built to last. Available to buy as the shell only, or in kit form with a battery and charger, it’s a shining example of why STIHL is so popular in the cordless lawn mower market.

STIHL HSA 60 Battery Hedge Trimmer – Best Hedge Trimmer
The STIHL HSA 60 Battery Hedge Trimmer is a powerful, high-precision tool ideal for shaping and maintaining medium to large hedges. Combining high levels of efficiency with exceptional user comfort features, it has been named the Best Cordless Hedge Trimmer for 2025.
Driven by a 36 V lithium-ion battery, the HSA 60 operates quietly and efficiently—perfect for use in noise-sensitive residential areas. STIHL’s anti-vibration system ensures a smooth operating experience from start to finish, while a rotatable multi-function handle allows for comfortable trimming from multiple angles.
The laser-cut, diamond-ground blades feature a distinctive droplet-shaped design that guides branches into position for clean, accurate cuts. An anti-block system reverses the blades automatically to free any jammed material, while the screw-on tip protector helps prevent wear when cutting near walls or the ground.
When paired with an AK 10 battery, this cordless hedge trimmer delivers up to 70 minutes of runtime—ample power for most domestic applications. Its lightweight design, user-friendly features, and powerful performance are exactly why the HSA60 earned top marks in the Trusted Reviews judging process.

Delivering a 110 bar operating pressure, the RE 110 PLUS features a brushless induction motor and high-quality aluminium pump, offering superb cleaning power with minimal maintenance. It’s ideal for patios, driveways, vehicles, and outdoor furniture—unquestionably being one of the most easy-to-use power washers on the market.
Its intelligent design includes a soft-grip control trigger, extendable aluminium carry handle, and integrated hose reel for tidy storage of its 8-metre high-pressure hose. The side storage compartment neatly houses the nozzles and power cable, keeping everything nice and organised.
Supplied with both a fan jet nozzle for general cleaning and a rotary nozzle for tougher jobs, the RE 110 PLUS provides the flexibility you need to keep your outdoor area looking pristine.
