Cumple bien. Le doy descansos para no forzarlo porque hay quien se le ha roto muy pronto, no lo fuerzo en ramas gruesas, pero tallos verdes de unos 1’5 cm los corta bien. Por mucho que se quiera, este tipo de herramientas nunca son cmodas, pero al no tener el motor arriba est ms equilibrada. Estoy satisfecho, Buena compra.
Recorta perfectamente las ramas de seto o similar. Es capaz de cortar las ramas con el mismo grueso que puedes cortar con las tijeras de podar (de una mano), hasta 1,5 centmetros aprox. Es muy cmoda, al llevar el motor en la mano la punta no pesa tanto y se puede manejar con el alargador de la prtiga sin problemas
Avevo gi un tagliasiepi telescopico elettrico da 900W. Questo, per, molto pi leggero. La lama taglia la siepe di rododendro come fosse burro. Anche i rami pi grossi. Prodotto consigliato. Falice dell’acquisto.
Al momento l’o solamente assemblato e fatto funzionare senza taglio di siep. Devo dire a mio avviso che il fatto che il motore (molto potante 900 W.) posto all’inizio della barra, dove sono situati gli interruttori di comando, unito alla tracolla, porta il peso maggiore sulla spalla, (a differenza di quelli che il motore il termine barra,e prima delle lame) quindi il peso risulta ben bilanciato. sembra molto robusto e benfatto, con spiegazioni in italiano. Mi riservo per di effettuare nulteriore recensione dopo che l’avr usato sul campo, per due motivi A) non ho ancora tagliato siepi. B) durante il funzionamento e sopratutto allo spegnimento si sente un forte odore di brucio( nelle istruzione riportato che tale fenomeno unito scintille visibili nelle griglie di areazione , risulta essere del tutto normale, in quanto il motore provvisto di un freno elettrico che arresta la corsa delle lame immediatamente al rilascio dell’interruttore di comando, e chre cio non compromette il buon funzionamento. speriamo sia cos.
Attrezzo abbastanza utile per l’impiego nel taglio della siepe, abbastanza manegevole
Delivery was prompt and it was relatively easy to assemble. It is a heavy item to use and you need reasonably good upper-body strength to use it, however with practice it performs really well, doing the job I wanted. Hopefully, it will continue to do so.

A very well made and useable piece of equipment but like others have said because it well built it can feel quite heavy when using is certain situations, that said I’d buy it again.
I do not lot of edge but it works well for me and I can alter the length to suit to meet my needs and cuts well
Had a previous one which did not last as long as I hoped but needed urgently, so thought I could use old one for parts.
I chose this hedge cutter having used one previously. It is very powerful and cuts my boundary hedges
containing all sorts of plants including Holly & Leylandii with ease. It is quite heavy but quite well balanced
and comes with a strap which helps to spread the load. In my opinion it is good value for money.
A pole trimmer is by nature an unwieldy beast. It doesnt help that this one is also quite heavy. However, it does the job well. If you only have a few bits of tall cutting, it’s fine. If you have a lot, you might want to find one with less weight.

Erfllt seinen Zweck.
Ansonsten bei lngerem Gebrauch etwas zu schwer.
I was looking for a long handles hedge trimmer for a series of large elevated jobs in the garden. This product is ideal for the job. No complaints. It’s also good value for money. I didn’t want the hassle of a petrol driven device. They are too heavy, too noisy, unreliable after the first couple of uses and too expensive. OK – I have to be careful not to cut through the mains cable but that’s not difficult. With a little care and common sense it was as ‘safe as houses.’. If you need a long armed trimmer – buy one!
Operated ok just tried conifers seems OK
Obviously will not be used in winter we will see next yea
The trimmer is very well engineered but quite heavy when used with the extension. I was very impressed when it cut easily through some quite thick shoots on a Griselinia, a very hard shrub.
Cercavo qualcosa che mi facesse risparmiare i soldi del giardiniere e anche fare meno fatica!!!! di sicuro molto pi valido di una semplice sega in quanto con le varie angolazioni riesce a tagliare la siepe in ogni sua parte ma con un po di fatica in quanto dopo un utilizzo un po prolungato inizia pesare .. per sono soddisfatto dell’acquisto !!!!
The trimmer is easy to assemble, well packaged and versatile. It is a little heavy to use but far easier than one with it’s motor at the cutting end of the pole!
Coped with a difficult job well and at a good price.
This arrived this morning and I decided to try it out immediately. I have one hedge that is 8 feet high and 120 feet long. “Lets see how it copes with this” I thought. Well it wasn’t good, it was fabulous!!!! It did the whole thing in about an hour compared to two or three times that previously. It is well balanced, powerful, easy to extend or shorten, and the cutting head can be altered to suit the area being cut with ease. I cannot recommend this machine highly enough.
Taille large haie de laurier et petite branche + feuille palmier murie
Trs bon taille-haie dport, facilit d’utilisation grce au moteur lectrique positionn en bas, au niveau poigne, et non au niveau lame
It can be difficult to assemble the various shafts, as the drive for the motor has to be aligned with the socket to enable the motor [mounted in the handle] to operate. However, once assembled it works well. A small supply of M6 nuts would be my suggestion as they are used to clamp the various shafts together. From experience, they are easily lost. Yes, it is rather heavy for those not in the first flush of youth, but the shoulder harness is useful.

Taille de mes haies de cyprs ( environ 2m de hauteur et 1 m de large) Taille haie qui fait parfaitement son travail, si on ne demande pas de couper des branches de 2 cm.Je suis trs satisfait de cet achat et montage des rallonges est trs facile
Macht was sie sie soll. alles bestens. Interessant jedoch, dass sie wirklich zu 100% (ok, die Gehusefarbe ist anders) baugleich mit der Stabheckenschere von Aldi-Sd von 2016 (glaub ich) ist. Diese hat dieses Frhjahr den Geist aufgegeben. Daher habe ich den Vergleich. Praktisch, dass wirklich alles an Zubehr/Erweiterungen nun auch auf die Einhell passt. 😉
My first time having to deal with hedges. For a newbie that likes building it was relatively easy to assemble. Without the extension rod I found the weight easy to handle. With the extension it was more challenging to balance the weight. I only got to use it for 5 min. My helpers got frustrated watching the newbie learn and removed it from me. I swear they just wanted to play with it. They did rave about how good it was. I got to clean up.

produit un peu compliqu monter. les crous ne tiennent pas dans les emplacements, j’en dj perdu un.
Sinon bon produit la premire utilisation.
Paid for itself in one afternoon! Robust and powerful with good reach. However, it was heavy and tiring but I achieved what I wanted to do. I would have had to pay an arborist otherwise. Recommended but you need to be fit and strong.
Fcil montaje y utilizacin. Hasta la fecha la he utilizado poco y no he encontrado nada en contra.
The hedge trimmer was easy to put together, it is a little on the heavy side but if you take your time it is a good tool.
Tailler des arbustes
Trs pratique pour garder les pieds par terre et bannir le danger de l,escabeau
I have not had a chance to use it yet, box damaged on arrival, but item seems fine. This item is just what I was looking for.
Schneidet sehr gut reit nicht knnte etwas leichter sein, jedoch gut zu Handhaben, ist eine super erleichterung man braucht keine Leiter mehr um die Arbeiten zu machen.
Ottimo tagliasiepi telescopico robusto non leggerissimo ma d’altronde con le varie estensioni normale consiglio per che ha siepi alte
This is well engineered with a powerful rated motor. Compare power rating against others. The blades/cutters are sharp, and being able to rotate the blades at several angles is useful. It is relatively easy to assemble with good instructions. Comes with 10m power lead but you are likely to need an extension cable protected by a r. c. d trip suitable for external use.
The motor is near the user end not the cutter end. Therefore the weight of the unit is better distributed. Having said that the unit is heavy and you need to be reasonably fit and strong to be able to support and balance this assembly.
Makes easy work of tall hedges etc.
Well pleased with purchase and recommended if you have several tall hedges and unreachable areas.
Great value for money.
My only gripe is that is a little bit slow.
Would have given this 5/5 except for the weight, it certainly does the job well but does get heavy after a a-short time
The motor is in the handle which means it’s lighter to use than other pole hedge trimmers. It’s bloody noisy though, mainly because the motor is at ear height in use.
I’ve noticed that the shaft and motor get warm quickly, probably because of trying to deliver the torque over a long distance so have been using in short bursts rather continuously.
For the money it’s a bargain, does a good job and overall I’m very pleased.
Funciona de maravilla.
Aunque es algo pesada y el sistema de colgrsela nunca ha funcionado
buon prodotto per giardinaggio occasionale. Sembra bello robusto ma alla massima lunghezza a piuttosto pesante da maneggiare. Nel complesso risponde alle aspettative. Buon rapporto qualit/prezzo
I am impressed with Einhell tools before and use their sander, rotatory saw etc. This hedge trimmer is brilliant. Much lighter weight than the petrtol one I had that failed. Also with a small adjustment the Hilti attachments also fit so I could reuse the attachments I had. It is power full, the motor sounds and feels powerful. Impressed. Great value for money.
Ho utilizzato il tagliasiepi per diverse ore e ha tagliato bene, anche rami abbastanza grossi – bisogna avere occhio ed “entrare” nella direzione giusta, ma un paio di centimetri di diametro li taglia. Verso la fine si rotto il meccanismo vicino al motore che fa ruotare di 90 la maniglia per tagliare angolato. L’ho reso ed arrivato quello nuovo dopo qualche giorno. Consigliato.
Molto soddisfatto in considerazione del costo contenuto per un attrezzo del genere.
Adatto per siepi con piccoli arbusti.leggero ma la posizione dell’anello dove si fissa la tracolla non ottimale risulta squilibrato e quindi faticoso.sarebbe da riposizionare l’anello.un consiglio controllare tutti i dadi autobloccanti sulla lama.dopo un’ora di utilizzo ne ho perso uno con tanto di rondelle e boccola che tra l’altro introvabile ho dovuto adattare un dado asportando la filettatura interna.consiglio di mettere liquido frenafiletti per essere pi sicuri.
Probabilmente bastava che ci fosse una specie di “frizione” tra motore e trasmissione, ma non si pu avere tutto..
Se notate dei rami grossi per quelli meglio segare o andare di cesoia.. o al limite accostarsi al taglio gradualmente e con cautela.
Very quick delivery over Easter weekend during lockdown! This is a great piece of kit which today saved me many hours of manual bush trimming. It’s easy to put together and very easy to use. The head adjusts angle and the pole has two lengths. It’s very powerful and cuts really easily. Great value for money.
Well made and sturdy feeling product. I am a relatedly fit 72 year old and can use it in the confined space of my garden but its weight does make it awkward had to do it a bit at a time. Younger fitter people would have no problem. Would recommend.
Robust/heavy. Long reach/unwieldy. Easier than setting up scaffolding/can reach everything. Powerful/power cord – awkward to use. You pays your money, you takes your choice. I love it.
Just the trick for my 8ft hedge, originally I thought I could do it without a ladder, hedge was too thick so this trimmer WITHOUT the middle section worked great, much easier to handle without the middle section – pretty heavy when fully extended.
When fully extended not recommended for anyone who is not pretty strong and fit, even with mid section removed you will need to be fit to use it.
I am reasonably strong but this is very heavy and difficult to use for long if fully extended. Cuts well.
One of the best buy, I stand by it even after a long time
Great value for money, great cutting and reach. Only drawback is it’s heavy, so your arms get tired pretty quickly. Also the instructions for assembly are minimal so there’s a bit of figuring it out, but there are only 4/5 parts so it’s easy enough. Would definitely recommend for the price.
Die Qualitt ist dem Preis angemessen.
Ich komme mit dieser Heckenschere berall dran.
Absolut kein Grund zur Klage.
Great product – a bit unwieldy so take care! But once the balance is mastered very efficient and excellent reach!
I think this is a big girl’s toy. I found it difficult to maneuver but I will persevere as I have many tall shrubs. A taller person shouldn’t have any problems with it. The angled head is easy to adjust and it cuts well.
Like the balance of this pole trimmer, motor at base of pole. Goes together easily. Cuts my tall leylandi hedge, use it from step ladder to get at back of hedge with relative ease, compared to my previous pole trimmer. Also handles my other random assortment of bushes ‘hedge’ which the other trimmer realy struggled with. Not keen on quick release kneck suports belt, the quick release is unreliable, coming free without warning if touched by hedge or anything else. All in all having used it three times this Autumn I am very happy with it.
It is good and cuts well, but it is still quite heavy – The motor is at the end you hold, but the metal bar from there to propel it is obviously quite substantial and heavy.
Facile d utilisation , pratique pour tailler le haut de ma haie trs large et le haut d un trs grand trone
Sa puissance est apprciable , bonne coupe ,ce taille haie est une bonne surprise
Voir s il sera durable dans le temps
Does exactly what it says on the tin. Cuts well and you really can get to the awkward areas to cut. Please note, this item is fairly heavy and is not for the physically weak.
Works well, power is adequate and not too top heavy when at full horizontal stretch.
Sowohl der Schnitt knapp ber dem Boden als auch auf der Hecke klappt super. Die Schnittleistung ist schon herausragend! Selbst wenn das Gehlz fingerdick ist, qult sich das Gert nicht. Wenn man fr diese Schneidleistung mit so einem Arbeitsradius in diesem Preis ein federleichtes Gert mit 1000 PS erwartet, sollte man zurck ins Reich der Fe’en und Elfen gehen.
Help! I can usually figure things out but have no clue how to attach the shoulder strap. Otherwise seems to be doing ok first time using. Need to get used to the tilts and weights. Can smell a bit of over heating, hoping that’s just its first use!!
The hedge trimmer was well balanced when in use and performed very well even on thicker dense growth.
It is also easily adjustable for direction of cut and which side of a hedge you wish to cut if getting to either side of the hedge is difficult.
Very easy assembly. 10 mins then you’re going.
Used for 30 mins earlier on an old laurel and bramble hedge to test – pretty impressed. Made light work of thicker stems, and mains power meant no drop in cutting effectiveness – a real plus versus our battery trimmers.
Small gripe – it is quite heavy, but then it seems solidly made (pleasant surprise at the price), so I guess this is the compromise. But the weight won’t suit my 70something mother (whose hedge it is), so it’ll be my job when I visit. Much, much cheaper than paying for an annual cut, and seems like a good piece of kit so far.

Il tagliasiepe mi sembra ottimo per l’uso non professionale. Abbastanza silenzioso, un po’ pesante ma manovrabile, le lame fanno bene il loro lavoro sul lauro ceraseo. La regolazione della inclinazione della lama molto rapida, altrettanto la possibilit di allungare/accorciare l’asta
The hedge trimmer arrived a day late via Hermes. Not sure who was responsible for the late delivery.
When delivered, the box was broken in half but had been tapped together. For delivery by courier, the packaging is obviously inadequate! See photo
Also, unlike the instruction book, there is NO point in using the stress relief clip (Fig 7) as there is no means of seperating the supplied cable from the trimmer (Fig 7 shows a plug/socket for sperating cable from trimmer)
Positives: Strong, stable, good cut, very long, value for money
Negative: Not we’ll balanced making it heavy at the cutting end. Repositioning of handle or extra weight at motor end would resolve.
Very short cable (about 30cm). I replaced with 2-pin connector for light weight, easy use.
I spent a long time researching which long reach hedge trimmer to buy and am happy with this one.
effettivamente risulta un p pesante e ci fa s che sia difficile essere precisi…di sicuro non adatto come unico attrezzo x la siepe ma permette di raggiungere i pezzi altrimenti inaccessibili, sicuramente meglio di quelli che montano il motore in testa che saranno molto sbilanciati, la Potenza pi che sufficiente e l’impugnatura molto buona , spero che duri nel tempo…
I use this item for hedge trimming ,only thing i didn’t like is the trigger safety button but i will get used to tha
Taille de haie. Trs bien ,plus facile utiliser sans ralonge car plus maniable.
Only used once so far but seems fine for my long,7ft high privet hedge. Better balance than my previous long hedge trimmer which had the motor at the far end of the pole.
I haven’t had the chance to use this yet but it appears to be well made and should give years of service with a small garden.
The weight of this hedge cutter is at the bottom which helps, it not light but this setup is better than other cutters having the motor at the cutter head. The neck sling certainly helps to support some of the weight.
It had drastically cut down the time to cut the top of our back hedge compared to a standard electric clippers and a ladder from both sides doing the top. I found the conventional electric clippers better to do the sides as the weight becomes an issue with this pole cutter.
Aprs utilisation de l appareil,convient a ma demande pour la taille de haie et fonctionne correcteme
Works well but quite heavy and you feel you’ve had a workout at the gym after using it.
Very good tool abit heavy but happy and easy to use
A quick update on the case. After we posted here, Einhell contacted us and we have been sent a replacement trimmer. Great service from Einhell in Denmark and Amazon.
I bought this to trim a high hedge, and it worked well for a while. However, like others have written, the housing on the trimmer head blew out, despite only having been used four times.
A noter que je trouve l’appareil beaucoup plus lger que mon prcdent (un Florabest). Nanmoins, la puissance indique est une puissance absorbe et non pas la puissance utile (celle que l’on retrouve au niveau de la coupe). Ainsi, n’esprer pas couper des branches de grosses sections. J’ai quand mme pu couper quelques branches de 1 cm de diamtre, je l’ai utilis pour des haies de sapin qui mesurent une hauteur de 4 m et une largeur de 1,5 m avec en majorit des branches de 5 mm de diamtre.
Au passage, n’oublier pas de pulvriser du spray anti rsine sur la lame avant vos travaux.
Effectivement le moteur fait des tincelles (contenues dans le carter de protection) et une odeur de chaud se dgage. Mais ce phnomne est provoqu l’arrt du moteur, cause du frein de lame et c’est d’ailleurs crit dans le mode d’emploi. Pour cette raison, il est dconseill d’utiliser l’appareil par coups trop frquents.
Pour finir, il y a bien deux gchettes enclencher pour la mise en route, mais une fois dmarr, on peut rester appuy uniquement sur la gchette du dessous.
En conclusion, je suis assez satisfait de mon achat au niveau qualit prix. Pour info, j’ai dans mon entourage quelqu’un qui avait achet une clbre marque sudoise 5 fois plus chre et son taille haies n’a pas dur plus de 3 ans…
ONLY GOOD FOR VERY LIGHT WORK DO
ES THIS WELL
Brilliant product. Topped my 30 m x 1 m beech hedge in under half an hour (with a little help from me of course!). No faults, no problems and no heavier than expected. Now if I can just train it to pick up the leaves…….
I like the machine but I must have been supplied with a second hand item. The box had been opened and sealed again with sellotape and the two caps that protect the center section were loose in the box and are of the wrong size to fit the ends. I would like your comments.
Well engineered hedge trimmer unfortunately the grab handle moves around the pole as you cannot tighten it up enough
Very good product, I’d tried a battery hedge trimmer (gtech) and a petrol mountfied hedge trimmer both had broken down so I thought I’d opt for a electric one this time. This hedge trimmer is well made and cuts through my large hawthorn hedge with ease. Pros: Powerful Motor, well balanced and cuts through with ease, long electric cable, Price.
Cons: A little heavy, Electric cable.
Great tool you need to use the shoulder strap to balance the weight.
This brilliant, good quality, well balanced & cuts through decent thicknesses. Have got a petrol riobi & its very back heavy, so when I am cutting the tall hedge in back garden that is also about 5ft deep it was killing my arms & back. This is great & gets job done a lot quicker. wood defo recommend it.
Livr en 24 H. C’est gnial. Appareil trs maniable. Trs satisfait car le manche tlescopique vite de monter sur un escabeau, voire un chafaudage. La possibilit d’orienter la lame est aussi un atout.
Easy to use and well balanced, making the hedge cutting much less of a strain. Very pleased with it compared to the previous long handled hedge trimmer that was top heavy.
Concernant l’utilisation, l’appareil est un peu lourd mais la sangle aide bien supporter l’ensemble quand on travaille avec.
Mon valuation est de 4 toiles/ 5 pour deux points ngatifs qui me paraissent importants:
1- La taille de branchages de plus de 1,5cm n’est pas possible, et s’adresse donc des tailles de haies en entretiens frquents.
2- Le systme de ressort de mollette de rglage de l’inclinaison de la tte est un peu lger. Il s’est dtendu trs rapidement lors de la taille de ma haie. J’ai du donc le dmonter et le retendre comme j’ai pu.
Je suis globalement satisfait de mon achat et de son prix trs correct.
Je recommande cet article
Il tagliasiepi arrivato in tempi rapidissimi ed il costo pi che accettabile. Di costruzione robusta il motore ha 900 watt e quindi piuttosto potente. nel complesso L’unico difetto che ho riscontrato che la parte anteriore quella delle Lame un po’ troppo pesante da utilizzare con la massima estensione, per il resto assolutamente consigliato
We have a lovely garden here in Spain. There are several trees and hedges though which need to be trimmed in order to keep them looking nice. I have an normal size hedge trimmer (Bosch) but this Einhell trimmer, although a little heavy, gives extra reach and means that I can now access the tops and sides of the taller trees. This means that I do not have to pay a gardener to come and do the work so the trimmer has paid for itself in a short while. Excellent product, easy to use.
Its still a bit heavy / unbalanced, but if you are big and strong, you manage it.
Easy to assemble and very powerful, much better for cutting my very extensive hedge than a battery model.
