You already own an 18 V pack
You have a pack of at least 2.5 Ah. The TE-AG 18/115 Li Solo is the best value at about £39.98: 115 mm, 8,500 rpm, 1.65 kg, soft start, and 4.5 from 6,182 ratings. No battery and no disc. Ignore the 12 W line.

The best Einhell angle grinders, compared.
Top pick: Einhell TP-AG 18/125 CE Q – Highest score, 4.7 from 979 ratings, at about £104.00: bare 125 mm brushless body, variable speed, and a quick-fix nut. No battery in the box. Best value: Einhell TE-AG 18/115 Li Solo – About £39.98 for a bare 115 mm 18 V body, 4.5 from 6,182 ratings, if you already own a 2.5 Ah or larger pack. Ignore the 12 W line. Updated October 2026.
An angle grinder is a handheld power tool that drives a spinning abrasive disc. In the UK you buy one to cut thin metal, dress a weld, or make a shallow cut in masonry and paving. A suitable tool is defined by the disc diameter, a 230 V mains lead or an 18 V battery, and whether a battery and charger are in the box. A 115 mm disc is the usual choice for light metal. A 125 mm disc cuts a little deeper. A 230 mm disc is for slabs and needs both hands. Look for a guard, a spindle lock or a quick nut, and soft start on a large motor. UK mains are nominally 230 V. Isolate the tool before you change a wheel. A missing guard is a failure at home as well as at work. Do not fit a toothed blade, and do not cut wood. Published class depths are about 30 mm, 38 mm and 70 mm. Match the guard to the disc, and keep a side handle fitted. If the listing does not name a battery, budget for one before you rely on cordless runtime.

What are you cutting?
The best Einhell angle grinders in detail
Our view
The Einhell TP-AG 18/125 CE Q (model 4431155), listed at about £104.00, is a bare 18 V 125 mm body. The bullets give 33 mm of depth, a brushless motor, and speed electronics from 3,000 to 10,500 rpm. It is the only listing in this set with that speed range. It weighs 1.7 kg and ships with a quick-fix nut, a cutting guard and a side handle, plus soft start, restart protection and overload protection. The 900 W bullet is a corded-equivalent claim, not a mains measurement. The material row prints carbon brush motors; the bullets say brushless. Use the brushless bullet. amazon.co.uk shows 4.7 from 979 ratings, the highest score here, with three UK reviews in the first 40. No battery, charger or case is included, so it suits an existing high-capacity 18 V pack.
Pros
- Only listing here with variable speed, 3,000–10,500 rpm, and an LED display
- 125 mm brushless body with a quick-fix nut
- Highest rating in the set: 4.7 from 979 reviews
- Cutting guard, side handle, soft start, restart protection and overload protection
Cons
- About £104.00 bare, with no battery, charger, disc or case
- 900 W is a corded-equivalent claim, and the material row misprints carbon brush motors
- Only three of the first 40 reviews in the file are from the United Kingdom
Best for: You already own 18 V packs and want 125 mm, a brushless motor, a quick-fix nut and variable speed.
Less suitable: You have no 18 V battery, you want a tool near £40 for occasional bolts, or you are cutting deep 230 mm slabs.

Common questions
Can the speed be changed?
Yes. A bullet says 3,000 to 10,500 rpm with speed electronics and an LED display. It is the only listing in this set with that range. The body is still bare: no battery and no charger. The 900 W line is a corded-equivalent claim, not a measured mains wattage.
Does it come with a battery or a case?
No. The bullets say no battery and no charger, and the style is without a case. You need an 18 V pack you already own. A cutting guard, a side handle and a quick-fix nut are named. The shelf price is about £104.00.
Is the motor brushless?
The bullets say brushless. The material row says carbon brush motors. Use the brushless bullet. That material row is a listing conflict, not a second motor. There is no laboratory cut behind the 900 W equivalence claim.
Our view
The Einhell TP-AG 18/125 F (model 4431175), listed at about £104.99, is a bare 18 V flat-head 125 mm brushless body. A bullet says the head reaches narrow niches and angles up to 43°. The highlight gives 33 mm of depth, and the weight is 1.57 kg. The components line names a curved fan grinding wheel, a wheel guard and a cutting-wheel guard. No-load speed is not stated. The 700 W bullet is a corded-equivalent claim, not a measured cut. The dimensions row prints an unusable 10 x 10 x 10 mm cube. amazon.co.uk shows 4.6 from 155 ratings, with three UK reviews in the first 40. One UK review says no quick-release nut was supplied. No battery or charger is included. It is a specialist body for tight welds, not a first general grinder.
Pros
- Flat gear head for narrow niches, stated up to 43°
- 125 mm brushless body at 1.57 kg, with wheel and cutting guards
- A curved fan grinding wheel is named in the components line
- 4.6 from 155 ratings on amazon.co.uk
Cons
- About £104.99 bare, with no battery, no charger and no stated rpm
- A UK review says no quick-release nut arrived
- The 10 x 10 x 10 mm dimensions row is unusable, and 700 W is only an equivalence claim
Best for: You weld on an 18 V platform and need a 125 mm flat head for corners and tight box sections.
Less suitable: General cutting, where the variable-speed 125 mm body or a £39.98 115 mm bare body is the wider fit.

Common questions
What is the flat head for?
A bullet says the compact flat head grinds in narrow niches and at angles up to 43°. It is a bare 125 mm brushless body at 1.57 kg, with a wheel guard and a cutting-wheel guard. It is for tight welds, not for paving slabs. No battery is included.
Does it come with a battery?
No. The style says the battery and charger are not included. The shelf price is about £104.99 for the body. The components line names a curved fan grinding wheel and two guards. No-load speed is not stated on the listing.
Is a quick-release nut in the box?
The components line does not name one. A UK review says the advert promised a quick release and none was supplied. Do not assume the nut from the 125 mm variable-speed model. That other body is the one whose bullets name a quick-fix nut.
Our view
The Einhell TC-AG 18/115 Li set, listed at about £81.28, says an 18 V 115 mm grinder with a battery and charger in the title. A bullet gives 8,500 rpm. The specification table omits voltage, wattage, weight, dimensions and an included-components row. A bullet on the same page calls the tool a solo body. The material line prints ABS. amazon.co.uk shows 4.6 from 68 ratings, and only one of the first 16 review texts is from the United Kingdom. That review does not say what arrived in the carton. The TC-AG 18/115 kit at about £69.50 is the listing that names a 4.0 Ah battery and a charger. Buy this set only if the seller has confirmed the pack and the box.
Pros
- Title and style name an 18 V 115 mm set with battery and charger
- 4.6 from 68 ratings on amazon.co.uk
- 8,500 rpm stated in a bullet
Cons
- No components row, and a bullet calls it a solo body
- Voltage, weight and dimensions rows are missing
- About £81.28 is dearer than the kit that names a 4.0 Ah pack
- Only one UK review in the first 16 texts
Best for: You have already confirmed the battery amp-hour rating and the box contents with the seller.
Less suitable: You want a verified kit. The TC-AG 18/115 at about £69.50 names a 4.0 Ah battery and a charger in the components row.

Common questions
Does the box list a battery?
No components line exists. The title and the style say battery and charger. A bullet calls the tool a solo body. Those lines disagree. The TC-AG 18/115 kit at about £69.50 is the listing that names a 4.0 Ah battery and a charger. Do not treat this title as that kit.
What voltage is in the specification table?
None. 18 V appears in the title only. Weight, dimensions and wattage are also missing. A bullet states 8,500 rpm. The star line is 4.6 from 68 ratings, with one UK review in the first 16 texts, and that review does not describe the carton.
How many UK reviews are in the file?
One, in the first 16 texts. It calls the set simple and efficient and does not describe a fault or the contents. The other texts in that sample are not UK opinion. A 4.6 average on 68 ratings is not a UK sample of 68.
Our view
The Einhell TE-AG 18/115 Li Solo (model 4431110), listed at about £39.98, is a bare 18 V body for a 115 mm wheel at 8,500 rpm. The highlight gives 28 mm of cutting depth. It weighs 1.65 kg without a pack and includes soft start, restart protection, a quick-adjust guard and a three-position side handle. Ignore the line that prints 12 W. That is not motor power. The same listing states 18 V and 8,500 rpm, and Wickes lists this model with no 12 W figure. The components row does not name a battery, a charger or a disc. The bullets recommend at least 2.5 Ah. amazon.co.uk shows 4.5 from 6,182 ratings, the largest sample here. It is the best value if you already own that pack. It is a poor fit if you are starting with no battery, or if the job is a thick slab.
Pros
- About £39.98, the lowest-priced 18 V bare body here
- 4.5 from 6,182 ratings, the largest sample in this set
- Soft start, restart protection and a quick-adjust guard at 1.65 kg
- Fits an existing 18 V pack; 2.5 Ah or higher is recommended
Cons
- Bare: no battery, no charger and no cutting disc
- Heavy pressure drains a pack quickly; one review cites a 6 Ah pack emptied in under three minutes
- The specification table prints an unusable 12 W line
Best for: You already own a 2.5 Ah or larger 18 V pack and want a 115 mm body for light metal, bolts and grinding.
Less suitable: You have no 18 V battery and charger, or you are cutting thick paving slabs.

Common questions
Does it come with a battery?
No. The bullets say no system battery and no charger, and they recommend 2.5 Ah or higher. The shelf price of about £39.98 is for the body. If you have no pack, the TC-AG 18/115 kit is the listing whose components row names a 4.0 Ah battery and a charger.
Is the motor 12 W?
No. The wattage line says 12 W. Do not use that figure as motor power. The same file lists 18 V and 8,500 rpm. Wickes lists model 4431110 at 18 V and 8,500 rpm with no 12 W figure. Treat the wattage row as a bad attribute.
Is a disc included?
No. A bullet says it is supplied without a cutting disc. You also need a guard in place before you cut. The body has soft start and restart protection, and the highlight gives 28 mm of depth on a 115 mm wheel.
Our view
The Einhell TC-AG 18/115 Li Solo (model 4431130), listed at about £43.83, is a bare 115 mm 18 V body at 8,500 rpm. It is not the TE-AG 18/115 Li Solo, model 4431110, even where the titles look alike. The maker's UK page calls this a brush motor at 1.21 kg. The amazon.co.uk weight row prints 1.65 kg, and a bullet says just over 1 kg. This table uses 1.65 kg. The box lists the tool, a side handle and a cutting guard. Soft start and restart protection are in the bullets. No battery, charger or disc is included. amazon.co.uk shows 4.5 from 2,864 ratings. At the captured prices it costs more than the TE-AG bare body, which also has the larger review sample.
Pros
- 4.5 from 2,864 ratings
- Soft start and restart protection on an 18 V bare body
- Side handle and cutting guard named in the components list
- About £43.83 on amazon.co.uk, below the maker's £52.95 shop price
Cons
- About £3.85 more than the TE-AG 18/115 Li Solo bare body at the captured prices
- Weight conflict: 1.65 kg on the row, just over 1 kg in a bullet, 1.21 kg on the maker's page
- No battery, charger or cutting disc
Best for: You own an 18 V pack and specifically want model 4431130 with a cutting guard in the box.
Less suitable: You have no 18 V battery, or the TE-AG 4431110 bare body is cheaper when you check out.

Common questions
Is this the same tool as the other bare 115 mm listing?
No. This file is model 4431130, TC-AG 18/115 Li. The other bare listing is 4431110, TE-AG 18/115 Li. The amazon titles can look the same. At the captured prices this one is about £43.83 and the TE-AG body is about £39.98. Do not merge the model numbers.
Does it come with a battery?
No. The bullets say the battery and charger are supplied separately. The components line names the tool, a side handle and a cutting guard. You need an existing 18 V pack. The maker's page for this model also recommends 2.5 Ah.
Which weight is on the listing?
The item weight is 1.65 kg. A bullet says just over 1 kg. The maker's UK page states 1.21 kg and calls the motor a brush motor. This comparison uses the amazon.co.uk weight of 1.65 kg. The three figures are not the same.
Our view
The Einhell TC-AG 18/115 kit (model 4431133), listed at about £69.50, is the cordless listing in this set whose components row names a 4.0 Ah battery and a charger. The carton also lists the 115 mm body, a side handle and a cutting guard. A bullet says a brush motor at 8,500 rpm, with soft start, restart protection and overload protection. The item-weight row prints 2.25 kg and a bullet says 1.2 kg. This table uses 2.25 kg. amazon.co.uk shows 4.5 from 393 ratings. No cutting disc is included, and the motor is not brushless. It is the kit to start with if you own no 18 V pack. It is the wrong buy if you already own a pack and only need the bare body at about £39.98.
Pros
- Components row names a 4.0 Ah battery and a charger at about £69.50
- 4.5 from 393 ratings
- Soft start, restart protection, overload protection, side handle and cutting guard
- 4.0 Ah is above the 2.5 Ah minimum named on the 115 mm pages
Cons
- A bullet says a brush motor, not brushless
- Weight conflict: 2.25 kg on the item-weight row and 1.2 kg in a bullet
- No cutting disc in the components list
Best for: You have no Einhell batteries and want a confirmed 4.0 Ah pack and charger in the box.
Less suitable: You already own an 18 V pack and only need a bare body, or you want a brushless motor.

Common questions
Is a battery included?
Yes. The included-components line names a 4.0 Ah battery and a charger, plus the tool, a side handle and a cutting guard. It is the only components line in this set that names a battery. The shelf price is about £69.50. A cutting disc is not in that line.
Is the motor brushless?
No. A bullet says a powerful brush and 8,500 rpm. Brushless in this set is the AXXIO 18/115 and the two TP-AG 125 mm bodies. This kit is the one to buy when you need the pack, not when you need a brushless motor.
Which weight should you use?
The item weight is 2.25 kg. A bullet says 1.2 kg. They are not the same figure. This table uses 2.25 kg from the amazon.co.uk weight row. The 4.0 Ah pack is part of why a kit weight can sit above a bare body.
Our view
The Einhell AXXIO 18/115 (model 4431154), listed at about £84.95, is a bare 115 mm brushless body. The maker's UK shop matches that price. A bullet gives 8,500 rpm and 28 mm of depth, and the weight is 1.72 kg. The 700 W line is a claim that the cordless motor matches a 700 W mains tool, not a measured cut. The box lists the tool, a grinding guard, a cut-off guard and a clamping wrench, with soft start and restart protection. No battery, charger or disc is included, and the specification table has no voltage row. The title states 18 V. amazon.co.uk shows 4.5 from 43 ratings, with one UK review in the first 21. A UK review of the 125 mm model mentions leaving an AXXIO 115 mm after switch trouble. That is one review, not a rate.
Pros
- Brushless motor in a 1.72 kg 115 mm bare body
- Grinding guard, cut-off guard and a clamping wrench
- Soft start, restart protection and a quick-adjust guard
- About £84.95 matches the maker's UK shop price
Cons
- Thin sample: 43 ratings, and one UK review in the first 21 texts
- 700 W is a corded-equivalent claim, not a measured mains wattage
- Fixed 8,500 rpm, and no battery, charger or disc
Best for: You own 18 V packs and want a 115 mm brushless body with both a grinding guard and a cut-off guard.
Less suitable: You can spend about £19 more for the 125 mm variable-speed body, or you have no 18 V pack.

Common questions
Does it come with a battery?
No. A bullet says no battery, no charger and no sanding disc. The shelf price of about £84.95 is the bare body, and the maker's UK shop lists the same price. You need an 18 V pack you already own. Both a grinding guard and a cut-off guard are named.
Is it brushless?
Yes. A bullet names a brushless motor. It is a 115 mm bare body at 1.72 kg and 8,500 rpm in a bullet. Not every 18 V listing here is brushless. The TC-AG kit bullet says a brush motor.
Is 700 W a measured mains wattage?
No. The bullet says it delivers the same power as a 700 W corded tool. That is a claim, not a cut test, and not a wattage row you can compare with the corded 500 W or 2,000 W tools. The speed bullet is 8,500 rpm, with no speed dial.
Our view
The Einhell TC-AG 115 (model 4430618), listed at about £32.95, is a corded 230 V tool. It spins a 115 mm disc at 12,000 rpm from a 500 W motor and weighs 1.54 kg. The maker's UK page gives 28 mm of depth, no soft start, and says it is not for wood. The box lists the tool, a side handle, a flange-nut wrench and instructions. No cutting disc is included, and the listing does not confirm a BS 1363 plug. amazon.co.uk shows 4.4 from 3,994 ratings. UK reviews note a kick on startup, an awkward safety switch, and a housing that gets hot on longer runs. One review mentions a missing side handle on delivery. It suits light metal near a socket. It does not suit deep paving or anyone who wants soft start.
Pros
- About £32.95, with 4.4 from 3,994 ratings
- Light 1.54 kg corded 115 mm body at 12,000 rpm
- Spindle lock, disc guard, side handle and flange-nut wrench listed
- 230 V mains runtime for short domestic cuts
Cons
- No soft start; UK reviews note startup kick and an awkward switch
- Reviews report the 500 W housing getting hot on longer runs
- No cutting disc, and the listing does not confirm a BS 1363 plug
Best for: Occasional light metal and small masonry cuts near a 230 V socket, if you already have discs.
Less suitable: Deep paving cuts, long heavy grinding, or a tool with soft start and variable speed.

Common questions
Is a cutting disc included?
No. A bullet says the cutting disc is not included. The box lists the tool, a side handle, a flange-nut wrench and instructions. You supply the disc and you fit the guard. The maker's page for model 4430618 also says this tool is not for wood.
Is it cordless?
No. The power source is corded at 230 V and 500 W, at 12,000 rpm and 1.54 kg. The listing does not confirm a BS 1363 plug. Isolate it at the socket before you change a wheel. It is not an 18 V body.
Does the listing claim soft start?
No. The bullets name a safety switch, not soft start. The maker's UK page also says no soft start. One UK review says there is no soft start and notes a kick. Variable speed is a different listing, the TP-AG 18/125 CE Q.
Our view
The Einhell TE-AG 230 (model 4430870), listed at about £82.59, is a corded 230 V tool at 2,350 W and 6,500 rpm for a 230 mm disc. The bullets include soft start, a tool-free guard and a spindle lock. amazon.co.uk prints 6.4 kg. The maker's UK page prints 5.5 kg, 62 mm of depth and a shop price of £103.95. This table uses the amazon.co.uk weight. The highlight says with a disc. The components row names the angle grinder and a face spanner. UK reviews say no disc arrived, and at least one reports a failed spindle lock. amazon.co.uk shows 4.3 from 73 ratings, a much smaller sample than the 2,000 W model. Buy your own 230 mm wheels. It is a two-handed slab tool, not a one-handed trimmer.
Pros
- 2,350 W corded motor with soft start for 230 mm cuts
- Tool-free wheel guard adjustment and a face spanner
- About £82.59 on amazon.co.uk, below the maker's £103.95 shop price
- 4.3 from 73 ratings
Cons
- Highlight says with a disc; components list the tool and a spanner, and UK reviews say no disc arrived
- 6.4 kg on amazon.co.uk; the maker's page says 5.5 kg
- A UK review reports a failed spindle lock, and no case is listed
Best for: Heavy domestic patio and masonry cuts, if you will buy 230 mm discs and you want soft start.
Less suitable: Overhead or one-handed work, a first grinder, or anyone expecting a cutting wheel in the carton.

The highlight says with a disc. Included components name the angle grinder and a face spanner only. UK reviews say no disc arrived. Budget for a 230 mm wheel and keep the guard on. Do not treat the highlight as the components line.
Does it have soft start?
Yes. A bullet says 2,350 W with soft start. It is corded at 6,500 rpm. The amazon.co.uk weight is 6.4 kg. The maker's page says 5.5 kg and 62 mm of depth. This table uses 6.4 kg. The review sample is 4.3 from 73 ratings.
Is a case included?
No case is in the included-components line. That line names the tool and a face spanner. The tool is for slab cuts, at about 6.4 kg on amazon.co.uk, so it is not a carry-case kit. Read the smaller review sample before you rely on the spindle lock.
Our view
The Einhell TC-AG 115/750 (model 4430960), listed at about £32.50, is a corded 230 V 115 mm tool at 11,000 rpm and 1.87 kg. The wattage row says 720 W. The title and the horsepower row say 750 W. This table uses the wattage row. A stray bullet about a rotating lamp head is from another product. Ignore it. The bullets name a wheel guard, a restart safeguard and a spindle lock. The components row lists the angle grinder only, so discs are not confirmed. amazon.co.uk shows 4.2 from 1,490 ratings. A stiff slide switch is a recurring UK complaint. It is a budget mains option next to a socket, not a refined daily grinder, and it has no soft-start bullet.
Pros
- About £32.50, the lowest shelf price in this set
- Restart safeguard, wheel guard and spindle lock named in the bullets
- 1,490 ratings on a budget corded 115 mm grinder
Cons
- Wattage row prints 720 W; the title and horsepower row say 750 W
- UK reviews often mention a stiff slide switch
- Components line names the angle grinder only, and a lamp bullet is a stray listing error
Best for: You want a corded 115 mm grinder with restart protection near £32.50 and you can live with a firm slide switch.
Less suitable: You want one clean wattage figure, an easy switch, or deep masonry capacity.

Common questions
Is the motor 720 W or 750 W?
The wattage line says 720 W. The title and the horsepower line say 750 W. Both figures are on the listing. This table uses 720 W from the wattage row and does not treat 750 W as a separate measured test. Ignore the stray lamp bullet.
Does it have a spindle lock?
Yes. A bullet says the spindle lock is for changing the tool, and that 115 mm cutting wheels fit. The components line names the angle grinder only, so confirm the guard and the wrench in the carton. It is corded at 230 V and 11,000 rpm.
Is it cordless?
No. The power source is corded at 230 V. It weighs 1.87 kg and the shelf price is about £32.50. It is not an 18 V body and it does not include a battery. UK reviews often mention a stiff slide switch. Restart protection is named; soft start is not.
Our view
The Einhell TE-AG 230/2000 (model 4430840), listed at about £68.99, is a corded 230 V tool with a 2,000 W motor and a 230 mm disc. A bullet gives 6,500 rpm. The specification table has no speed row, and the included-components field is blank. It weighs 5.63 kg and is about 54 cm long, with a spindle lock and tool-free guard adjustment. The highlight says no cutting disc. The listing does not confirm a BS 1363 plug. amazon.co.uk shows 4.0 from 2,536 ratings, the lowest star line in this set. Buyers report cuts through patio flags, and a thread of UK reviews describes units failing on first use. Test it inside your return window if you buy it for a one-off slab. The 2,350 W TE-AG 230 is the sibling with a soft-start bullet and a much smaller review sample.
Pros
- 230 mm disc and a 2,000 W mains motor for slabs and masonry
- About £68.99, the lower-priced of the two corded 230 mm tools here
- Tool-free guard adjustment and a spindle lock
- 2,536 ratings on amazon.co.uk
Cons
- 4.0 from 2,536 ratings, with UK reviews reporting first-use motor failures
- 5.63 kg, and no soft-start bullet on this listing
- No cutting disc, and the included-components row is blank
Best for: A one-off patio or kerb cut at about £68.99, if you need 230 mm and you will test the tool promptly.
Less suitable: A first grinder, light sheet metal, or a 230 mm machine with soft start.

Common questions
Is a cutting disc included?
The highlight says without a cutting disc. There is no included-components line. You supply a 230 mm wheel and you fit the guard. The tool is corded at 2,000 W and about 5.63 kg. Do not read a blank components row as a disc in the box.
What disc size does the title state?
230 mm, at 6,500 rpm in the title and in a bullet. The specification table has no speed row. This table uses the bullet speed. It is a two-handed masonry tool, not a 115 mm trimmer. UK reviews include both slab cuts and first-use failures.
Is it cordless?
No. The power source is corded at 230 V. There is no soft-start bullet on this listing. The star line is 4.0 from 2,536 ratings, the lowest in this set, and UK reviews include motors that failed on first use. The 2,350 W sibling is the one with a soft-start bullet.
How we compared
Eleven amazon.co.uk listings were scored from the stored pages. Shelf date 19 October 2026, checked against the maker's UK shop and public UK sources on 21 October 2026. There is no laboratory cut, stall, noise or vibration test. The score on each card is the amazon.co.uk star rating times 20, rounded. A 4.7 average is 94. Review sample size, the share of UK reviews in the stored sample, box-content conflicts, and conflicting wattage or weight lines are written on the card. They are not a hidden penalty. The highest score is the top pick. The lowest-priced 18 V bare body with the deepest review sample is the best value. One of each. The weights below sum to 100 and describe those checks. They are not a second score.
1
Amazon star rating
40%The published score is the amazon.co.uk star rating times 20. It is the listing line, not a workshop trial. The highest score in this set is the top pick.
2
Review sample and UK share
20%The count sits next to the stars. A thin UK share in the stored sample is noted on the card. It does not lower the star score, and non-UK texts are not treated as UK opinion.
3
Battery and power source
15%Corded rows are 230 V. Cordless rows are 18 V bare bodies unless the components line names a battery and a charger. A title that says battery is not treated as a kit.
4
Disc, guard and box
15%Disc diameter, a named guard, and the components line decide the fit. A highlight that says a disc is included does not override a components line that omits it.
5
Specification conflicts
10%A 12 W row is not motor power. A 700 W or 900 W cordless bullet is an equivalence claim, not a measured cut. Conflicting wattage or weight lines are flagged, not averaged into the score.

Einhell angle grinder buying guide
Buy the disc and the box before you buy a star line. A bare 18 V body is not a kit, and a title that says battery is not a components line. UK mains are nominally 230 V. None of these scores is a laboratory cut.
What to check on an Einhell angle grinder
An angle grinder spins an abrasive disc to cut and grind. In this set each tool is either corded at 230 V or an 18 V body. Solo means the battery and charger are not in the box. The maker states that packs from that 18 V family fit across the range, and that two 18 V packs can make 36 V. The twin-pack 36 V model is not in this set. TC, TE and Professional are line names, not a test grade. Disc diameter decides the cut. A 115 mm wheel is the light metal and bolt size.
Best for
- An existing 18 V pack and light metal on a bare 115 mm body
- A first cordless kit whose components line names a 4.0 Ah battery and a charger
- A corded 230 mm tool for a paving slab, with your own disc
Not ideal for
- A buyer who reads 12 W as motor power
- A bare body when you own no 18 V pack
- Wood, or a toothed blade on any of these tools
Mistakes to avoid
- 1
Reading 12 W as motor power
The TE-AG 18/115 Li Solo wattage line says 12 W. The same file lists 18 V and 8,500 rpm. Wickes lists that model with no 12 W figure. A 700 W or 900 W cordless bullet is an equivalence claim, not a measured cut.
- 2
Merging the two solo 115 mm models
Model 4431110 is the TE-AG 18/115 Li Solo. Model 4431130 is the TC-AG 18/115 Li Solo. The titles can look the same. They are different listings, and the captured prices are not the same.
- 3
Trusting a disc or a battery in the title
The TE-AG 230 highlight says with a disc. The components line names a face spanner. One 18 V title says battery and charger, and a bullet calls that tool a solo body. Buy bare only when you already own a pack.
What to weigh up
Disc size and power source
HighUK mains are nominally 230 V. The corded tools in this set are stated at 230 V. None of them prints a BS 1363 plug, so isolate at the socket before a wheel change and do not assume the plug from the voltage row. The cordless tools are 18 V bodies. The maker says packs from that family work across the range. Two 18 V packs can make 36 V, but the twin-pack 36 V grinder is not in this set. Match the disc to the job. Screwfix class depths are about 30 mm, 38 mm and 70 mm.
Box contents and bad rows
HighRead the components line before the title. Solo means no battery and no charger. The 115 mm pages recommend at least 2.5 Ah. The TC-AG 18/115 kit is the components line that names a 4.0 Ah battery and a charger, at about £69.50, and its motor bullet says brush. The AXXIO 18/115 and both TP-AG 125 mm bodies are the brushless bare tools. Do not say every 18 V listing is brushless, and do not say every title includes a battery or a disc. A 12 W row is not motor power.
Which option suits you?
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You have no battery yet
The TC-AG 18/115 kit at about £69.50 is the listing whose components row names a 4.0 Ah battery and a charger, with 4.5 from 393 ratings. The motor bullet says brush. A corded 115 mm tool near £33 is the socket alternative if you do not want a pack.
You are cutting paving slabs
Thick paving is a corded 230 mm tool. The TE-AG 230 is about £82.59, 2,350 W, 6,500 rpm, soft start, and 4.3 from 73 ratings. The amazon.co.uk weight is 6.4 kg. The highlight says with a disc; the components line does not. Read the first-use failures on the 2,000 W sibling before you rely on either.
Common questions about Einhell angle grinders
Which Einhell angle grinder is the top pick in 2026?
The top pick is the TP-AG 18/125 CE Q at about £104.00. It is a bare 18 V 125 mm brushless body with speed electronics from 3,000 to 10,500 rpm and a quick-fix nut. amazon.co.uk shows 4.7 from 979 ratings, the highest star line in this set. Three of the first 40 review texts are from the United Kingdom. No battery, charger, disc or case is included. The 900 W bullet is a corded-equivalent claim. Skip it if you have no 18 V pack.
Which Einhell angle grinder is the best value?
The best value is the TE-AG 18/115 Li Solo at about £39.98. It is a bare 115 mm 18 V body at 8,500 rpm and 1.65 kg, with soft start and restart protection, and 4.5 from 6,182 ratings, the largest sample here. Ignore the 12 W line. That figure is not motor power. No battery, charger or disc is in the box, and the listing recommends at least 2.5 Ah. It suits an existing pack. It does not suit a first kit or a paving slab.
Should you buy a corded or a cordless Einhell angle grinder?
Buy corded when the cut is near a 230 V socket or the disc is 230 mm. The two corded 115 mm tools sit near £33. The two corded 230 mm tools are for slabs, at about £68.99 and about £82.59. Buy cordless when you already own an 18 V pack, or when the components line names a battery. Solo means no battery. The confirmed kit is the TC-AG 18/115 at about £69.50, with a 4.0 Ah pack and a charger in the components row. How the two supplies differ is set out in corded or cordless angle grinders.
Does the box include a battery?
Most cordless listings here are bare bodies. The TE-AG 18/115 Li Solo, the TC-AG 18/115 Li Solo, the AXXIO 18/115, the TP-AG 18/125 CE Q and the TP-AG 18/125 F do not include a battery or a charger. The TC-AG 18/115 kit at about £69.50 is the listing whose components row names a 4.0 Ah battery and a charger. Another title says battery and charger, but that page has no components row and one bullet calls the tool a solo body. Do not treat that title as a confirmed kit.
Does the box include a cutting disc?
Do not assume a cutting disc is in the box. The corded highlights and the bare 18 V bullets say the disc is not included. The TE-AG 230 highlight says with a disc, but the components line names the tool and a face spanner, and UK reviews say no disc arrived. The flat-head TP-AG 18/125 F lists a curved fan grinding wheel plus two guards. You still match the disc to the guard. Disc class and the bad attribute rows are set out in the angle grinder buying guide.
Should you choose 115 mm, 125 mm or 230 mm?
Choose 115 mm for light metal and bolts. The maker prints about 28 mm of depth on those pages. Choose 125 mm when you want a little more depth. Those bullets print 33 mm, and the TP-AG 18/125 CE Q is the listing with variable speed. Choose 230 mm for paving and brick. That is a heavy corded tool, 5.63 kg or 6.4 kg here. Screwfix class depths are about 30 mm, 38 mm and 70 mm. Other makes on the same job are in the angle grinder comparison.
Can you cut wood with these angle grinders?
No. Do not cut wood, and do not fit a toothed saw blade. The maker and Screwfix both reject wood on these tools. The Office for Product Safety and Standards has warned against toothed angle-grinder attachments. A missing guard is a failure at home as well as at work. Isolate the tool before you change a wheel. UK mains are nominally 230 V, and none of these listings prints a BS 1363 plug. If you are not trained to mount a wheel, stop and get a competent person.
Why do some specification rows disagree?
Read the components line and the specification table, not a single highlight. One 18 V page prints 12 W. Do not use that as motor power. The same file lists 18 V and 8,500 rpm, and Wickes lists that model with no 12 W figure. One corded 115 mm page prints 720 W on the wattage row and 750 W in the title. One 230 mm page prints 6.4 kg on amazon.co.uk and 5.5 kg on the maker's shop page. This table uses the amazon.co.uk weight. A 700 W or 900 W cordless bullet is an equivalence claim, not a measured cut.
Our verdict
The top pick is the Einhell TP-AG 18/125 CE Q at about £104.00. It is the highest score in this set, 4.7 from 979 ratings, on a bare 125 mm brushless body with variable speed from 3,000 to 10,500 rpm and a quick-fix nut. No battery is in the box, the 900 W line is an equivalence claim, and only three of the first 40 reviews are from the United Kingdom. The best value is the TE-AG 18/115 Li Solo at about £39.98, 4.5 from 6,182 ratings, if you already own a 2.5 Ah or larger 18 V pack. With no pack, the TC-AG 18/115 kit at about £69.50 is the components line that names a 4.0 Ah battery and a charger. Thick paving is a corded 230 mm tool, not a bare 115 mm body. None of these scores is a laboratory test.
