    da ich bereits einige Gerte mit dem Bosch 18V Akku System habe, passt diese gut in meine Gartenwerkzeugsammlung. Der Vorteil ist ja das Kabellose arbeiten mit einem 4Ah – Akku, brauch ich diesen fr meine Arbeiten nicht mal zu wechsel

    The product is a joy to use. So much easier than having an attached electrical cord! However, have only used less than an hour. The caveat is that I am a little wary of the quality of Bosch products these days. I also wonder about the long term life of the battery but, so far, it is delivering better than half-an-hour of hard use. However, time will tell on both these little concerns.

    I was sceptical about this as the reviews are so mixed but I’ve found it absolutely brilliant.
    It’s light , easy to use , not that noisy and surprisingly powerful. The battery charge lasts for ages . It’s become invaluable .

    I have huge hedges that hzve some thick branches. I bought this for the trimming rather than the cutting but it coped well wih thicker branches well and lasted well too. A battery tool will never be man enough to do the more overgrown hedges with ease but this one copes and is a good fine cut to do the neat trimming. I use a bigger extended reach mains Bosch for the main cutting.

    Lightweight without being flimsy, sturdy, holds is position well, does the job. Still newly acquired but seems to charge its battery well and the blades do not snag the hedge but cut cleanly. Lived up to expectations. Warmly recommend as suitable for older men/women pensioners.

    Bought these after my electric set gave up the ghost. I was anxious about whether these would be up to the job but needn’t have worried. Used them to trim a 120 foot x 8 foot beech hedge and they made a great job of it. Pleasantly surprised at the thickness of stem they went through fairly easily. Worth saying that I only did 1 side and all of the top as I’d managed to do the other side with my electric one before it packed up but the battery I bought separately was still going strong.
    The length of cut is ideal and it is lightweight enough to not make you feel that your arms are ready to drop off by the end. I found that the multiple trigger points were useful as it allowed me to hold the trimmer at different angles without it stopping on me as my I moved my hand around the handle.
    I completely missed the fact that it was a bare unit so had to buy a battery and charger separately but the trimmer itself is excellent and if you already have the battery and charger I’d fully recommend this but if not perhaps look at getting everything in a single order as it may well work out cheaper.

    I was undecided between a Bosch and another famous name that was exceptionally recommended but 75 dearer. However , having both a Bosch drill and screwdriver powered by their batteries (I seem to have 5), I went for this. I wanted lightweight, powerful and clever. This fulfils it’s promise.
    I made light of a 12ft x 12ft high hedge and it looks professionally done. The clever bit is that it cuts thick twigs/branches, and if it can’t, it reverse ferrets so it doesn’t jam. Amazing. Then it has another snip, a bit harder, usually succeeding!and I was shocked at its capabilities. Keep fingers well clear.
    I do not regret buying this at all, and it arrived mid day Amazon prime on a Saturday.

    I have a mixed greenery hedge which is quite hard to cut, this went through it no problem. After cutting through the wire for the fourth time I knew I had to go cordless, the charge on this trimmer lasted much longer than I thought so easy to use and as I’m in my seventies weight was a big factor, although a bit heavier than my old corded one after a few minutes you get used to it .I would not go back to corded.

    If you’ve used hedgeclippers before, it’s simplicity itself, to use these ones.
    (Just remember to charge the battery before use!)
    Light weight, not too long… or short… pretty good charge length.
    Oh! And it uses a *standard* Lithium-based battery pack… so I’m not going to end up in the same situation I had with my last one (it used a proprietary NiMH battery pack), when I have to replace it.

    I’m happy. 🙂

    Lightweight and easy to handle. It cuts without any effort. Thick branches does not stop the tool and it cuts eventually if it’s between blades.
    Swappable battery is a good advantage if you have other 18v tools from Bosch like I do.

    I used to have a Black and Decker, which was excellent, but extremely heavy. When it broke, I bought a Spear and Jackson, which is light and cuts ok, but keeps cutting out.
    This is so much lighter than the first one, and it doesn’t cut out. It copes with quite tough and thick hedges and shrubs and the battery seems great. I used it to try it for about 15 minutes, and put it back on charge, but it didn’t need it!

    Used twice a year on a mature holly hedge of ~30M length and ~3M high very tough stuff to cut. Cuts nicely, the Battery just about does front, back and top of said hedge, given a little top up during tea break! So much easier than past corded versions and the ability to ‘saw’ through larger stems using the front teeth of cutter blade works well on said holly. Occasionaly stops to prevent over loading but I did not find this a nuisance or any real issue.

    Golden Review Award: 8 From Our UsersI used to use a Stihl petrol trimmer but whilst it was excellent at cutting it was a pain to get started and weighed a lot, making it a real effort to use for long periods. This have been excellent, the cut is very clean and can handle a good thickness of branch (I mainly have beech and laurel). The anti jam mechanism is good, it’s very lightweight and manoeuvrable making bigger jobs easier on my back and arms. I’m very impressed with the 18v 2.0 Ah battery, it’s very quick to charge and provides plenty of power and longevity. Highly recommended and I happily leave my petrol trimmer to gather dust in the back of the garage.

    This is my first hedge trimmer so can’t compare to any other model. What I can confirm is that it is an easy tool to use that does what it is meant to. It made trimming back various shrubs and bushes a fun experience rather than a chore. I used it on and off for two hours across a variety of shrubs, starting with the thin stemmed and gradually stepping up the thickness to test what the machine could do. You will find the limit as this is a hedge cutter, not a chainsaw, but I was surprised at what it could cope with. The anti-blocking function works well.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersI bought this recently on a Prime Deal and I’m so glad that I did. I have to pay quite for a bit for someone to come in and trim back my hedges and get rid of branches and thought it was time I tried to do this myself.
    I am not the strongest woman and I am not using this for heavy tree work but there is a lot of hedge to do. I’m able to use this for 30 minutes before needing to recharge it. Also as the garden is long I needed a battery operated trimmer. It is lightweight and 30 minutes each time is good enough for me.
    It trims smoothly and I’m really pleased with the results. I need to take note of other reviewers and ensure that I take care of it with the right oil. Highly recommend this.
