I’ve been wanting to tackle a rather substantial holly for a while but struggled to reach the top branches even with ladders ,
So onto the gizmo, instructions are beyond useless but easy enough to assemble and work out what does what, a little cumbersome until you get the balance right ,the strap does help , cuts well managed some quite hefty branches ,not sure how long it will last but I’ll only be using it a couple of times a year so didn’t want to be spending a fortune, decent value for the price
Yes it is a little heavy, but nevertheless it is a fine hedge trimmer.
Good to have the motor at the bottom, far better than trimmers with the motor at the top just before the blades.
The extension pole, which is not necessary for most cuts, adds just that bit of versatility.
All in all recommended.
I used this hedge trimmer for higher pruning that I was finding more and more difficult with my normal short reach trimmer. it took longer to assemble than to do the job I wanted of it because of its reach but more so its power; it just sliced through the upper hedging. It has been a great buy at a great price on Amazon. Very pleased I bought it – should have bought it before!
Arrived on time, very well made, had a huge overgrown hedge to cut, some branches where really thick, absolutely flew through it with ease, would be 5 stars if it wasn’t so heavy, I’m pretty strong and had to stop many times, feel like I’ve been to the gym
Great piece of kit and good quality from this manufacturer and this was by far the best option when comparing other cheaper Chinese models. This machine is very sturdy but it is very heavy to use and is difficult to use over long periods. I love it for its length but it is not the easiest to use.
It is easy to use, compact for work, great at cutting fast but gets heavy over time. Remember to clean teeth and blade after each use and take breaks often to alleviate vibration tiredness in arms.
Bought as a present. From all accounts, the recipient is very happy with it.
Used it to cut the top of a conifer hedge that was well over due trimming.
Managed it without a problem where other hedge trimers have failed.
It was quite heavy but thats to be expected.
Good product, and does the job. I chose it, as it was the only one that actually stated the total height the trimmer could go to. Some quality issues (1) on one of the tightening knobs, the thread was too far into the plastic for it to be screwed on. I could have grounded it down, but just found a nut in the garage (2) the spring on the angle-setting lock was too weak, so I had to glue a couple of matchsticks at the back, to give the spring enough strength to push the lock in. Nevertheless happy with its ability. Note: like all extended trimmers, it is heavy (think 6 foot scaffolding pole), so limit cutting to the side, when on a ladder – I moved the ladder, often.
I used it twice to trim hedge and it worked well the more you use it the easier it becomes glad I bought it .
I wanted a long reach hedge cutter for a series of hard to reach hedges. I have looked at a few and all of them seem to have motor at the head which makes them top heave and hard to control when fully extended.
This one seems to have a the motor at the base which makes it kind of easy to balance.
It is heavier than I thought it would be and the arms can get tired for the occasional user when used fully extended.
The cutting blades can be tilted but the mechanism looks a bit fiddley and may break if force. Also, the way it stops seems very harsh
Overall I am happy with it and next summer it will get full use !
does wot its surpost to just a little bit heavy
I bought the mains cable version and it doesn’t get in the way at all.
Happy with performance.
The extended reach and angle settings are excellent.
Balance is decent but laws of physics means the blade feels heavy at times but nothing too bad
much better than i thought it would be. i had only used petrol cutters before which are powerful. this isn’t as good as petrol but being lighter and quieter more than make up for that. i have cut a long beech hedge with it already with no problems i have a conifer hedge to cut later so see how that goes, but i think it will cope. only time and use will tell how good it is. but pleased at this moment in time
Very sturdy and capable hedge trimmer but very heavy and unwieldy.
usato a lungo al primo utilizzo, sembrava scaldasse ma era forse alla prima accensione. meglio lubrificare spesso. Non pensavo potesse tagliare cos bene e con potenza. Lauro alto 3 mt, con rami spessi e grandi. temevo non funzionasse. Invece quasi al pari di quella a motore alpina che usavo prima con una fatica mostruosa in bilico sulla scala. taglia benissimo anche rami da pi di 2 cm! sorprendente. Ho pi di 150 mt di siepe e la finir tutta con questo.
I wanted a pole hedge trimmer that had the motor at one end and the cutting blade(gearbox) at the other. This fitted the bill nicely. My only three criticism are.
1: no real assembly instructions.
2: heavier that I expected.
3: the motor has a lot of torque.
Saying all of that a very nice build quality.
I have tried several long-handled hedge trimmers, corded and cordless. They generally cope with the thinnest branches but baulk at thick, older branches. I have several hedges that are more than 8 foot high and in need of extensive trimming (also some climbing roses that hadn’t been trimmed for a long time), and this Einhell unit was just what I needed. It seems to slice through thick branches with little effort, and without jamming. The unit is easy and quick to assemble. Inevitably there will be some branches that are too thick. For those, a long handled chainsaw such as the Bosch AMW 10 is the more useful tool.
