Default angle grinders

Question is, are the 18v cordless up to snuff?

I'm thinking Bosch as I have other 18v Bosch equipment with which I am happy, with the exception of their 18v vacuum which isn't worth a tinker's curse. Really and truly Bosch should be deeply ashamed to have put their name on such a piece of rubbish.

Anyway are the 18v cordless angle grinders any good? I only use an angle grinder very occasionally.

No, get a mains one. Double the power at half the price. Have a look at
the 2000W Mac Allister one from B & Q if you need one that will do
serious work. If you want something smaller there's the Makita 720W one.
When you look up cordless ones they don't like to tell you the wattage
because it's pathetic.
