My husband had C.O.P.D and does local community council gardens for the elderly and disabled people in the community and the local community hall and cutting the hedges when he unstable on laders lately lost easier using this
Cut two massive leylandi hedges, with some thick branches, with no problem. It took ages, but the battery showed no signs of fading, and the blades cut through everything. Really impressed.
Seems to do the job but heavier than I had hopped although this may be due to the fact that it seems a little unbalanced. Not easy to put together had to ask my neighbour for help
It is a handy piece of kit to have in your hedge trimming arsenal. But one thing to note,it is heavy. Unless your like the man in the vid with arms bigger than my legs,you will find it heavy to use for long periods especially when extended to reach height. Saying that though,it is marvellous. No wires to worry about cutting through or tripping over. A very usefull tool for the garden. More pros than cons. Only four stars because of weight,and Im feeling bad for that.
Nice bit of kit but really designed for high hedges only. I’m a 72 year old man of average strength. My hedges are between 5 and 7 foot high but up to 5 foot wide. This means that I have to use this trimmer fully expended at shoulder height most of the time. My arm, wrist and shoulder muscles were complaining loudly yesterday after about 30 minutes of work because the leverage effect makes it very heavy and today my back has kicked in as well. It is also quite cumbersome and unwieldy if you have to work in confined spaces. Wish I’d bought a smaller and lighter model. Having said that, and to be fair, the machine itself is well constructed and cuts very well, but it will be at its most effective when used on very large hedges with plenty of space to work in.
I forgot to add that the battery life, on first use and compared to my previous model, is spectacularly good. 75% remaining after 30+ minutes use!
This is a well made product my only criticism is a little bit heavy but otherwise good value
Bit on the heavy side but aren’t they all. Just the job for reaching those hard to reach Bits of hedging, folds up nicely for storage .
I normally use a petrol hedge trimmer and step ladder. Although this is fairly heavy, nowhere near as heavy as a petrol cutter. Telescopic feature is brilliant. Easily cuts what were normally hard to reach spots.
Battery life is good, only used 20% to cut the hedge, which took 45 minutes.
Great tool for the price.
On a high hedge about 7 foot tall and about 60 ft long this really gets very heavy with arms stretching out.
That apart it is a nice purchase.
One of the best garden tools I have ever bought. It makes hedge cutting a pleasure instead of a chore.
Does the job and a decent battery life. Was able to chop through the top of my hedge and not overly heavy.
As far as the battery. I spent 60 minutes cutting on and off and it lasted no problem.
Power of cutting? I would low-medium. If you are familiar with plugged in electrical trimmers – or petrol versions, you will notice the step down in power here. It gets through bigger branches..eventually ( a bit like a baby knawing a biscuit).
I am happy with the purchase. I have two 12 foot high bushes and I can now (safely) reach the top. Job Done.
Bit on the heavy side but does the job. Pleased.
Firstly, what I got. Well it was what I ordered with a tiny addition. When I got it was patently not the original customer as the box and its content had plainly been opened before (broken and resealed packaging, wires on the charger coiled and re-stuffed in the box). Pre owned? Returned and repaired? Either way I have been charged the full price on the day with no indication that what I was buying was, essentially pre-owned(?). Not advertised as such.
In use, this is pretty good. It says best for moderate sized hedges. I have no idea what a moderate sized hedge is, but I am guessing that its not the two hedges that run the length of my property, so it will get a good run and a couple of recharges by the time I have finished (this written after the second day in use). Thus far the battery claimed life of 1 hour doesn’t seem unrealistic as that would be the approximate adjusted run time I ran it down to 10%, but that is on a “new” battery and from 100%.
Ergonomically it fits me fine. It isn’t light but I have certainly seen heavier and it lacks the trailing cables that can be a bit of a nuisance. The front handle is close to the head which gives a more braced posture but I can see that it might be a bit of a bind for those with a shorter reach (mine is roughly average for a male). Might be improved by including a strap, but that would be a personal preference.
The battery is not compatible with my Yard Force lawn mower I purchased earlier in the year, which is understandable given the weight implications (small amounts on the end add up the longer that you are wafting something like this around). More of a bind, the chargers are not even interchangeable, which is not necessary as far as I can see, even if the batteries are sourced from different manufacturers, they sit in a case which surely can be homogenised. It would also be a good marketing move as some other manufacturers do use a whole system approach.
And the tiny addition included in my repackaged item?
A rusty nail.
No, I don’t know either.
Because the plastic collar that joins both parts together is made of crap plasric and not aluminium. And strips very easily, please strengthen this Terra Tek, it’s so powerful l had to buy another one as nd live with the fact that I will never separate the two parts, that’s the only way it will last.
It could do to have a shoulder strap to take some of the weight.
a bit heavy and clumsy at first but you get used to it after a time
Excellent quality Would buy again Outstanding service 5 Stars Thank you
Only used three times so far, but very practical, and seems as safe as hedge cutters can be made. I mainly bought it to use on my leylandii hedge for which it is very good.
Quite heavy as mentioned by others but very effective for what I need and multiple angles for the blade are a blessing.
Very easy to use. Saves a lot of bending. Cuts tall hedges without the need for a ladder.
Great battery life, and does a great job.
A little heavey after prolonged use.
Have used over the last month, and seems very robust.
Used to cut the top of a leylandii hedge, worked very well on a well kept hedge.
Good product that cuts well with a long battery life (for my purposes anyway). Great reach. Not a lightweight.
This budget battery powered hedgecutter was surprised me. First off, the weight is so light, even when it’s extended to it’s maximum length. Second, the power in it is better than expected but can struggle once in a while. Finally, the blades are pretty resilient and sharp too.
I’d recommend this to anyone that’s looking to trim and maintain things like conifers or box hedges.
Needed something with a long reach for two beech hedges. This is certainly long reach and adjustable but the shortest length is still about a meter- you can’t use it as an ordinary hedge trimmer. It is heavy on the arms after a short while but what do you expect all the weight is at the top. Battery life good though.

Need a few muscles or I’m weak but ideal for high jobs no need for ladders
Bought it to trim my hedge around my van adjusted the handle on it to relieve the weight as the handle was set to low now balanced so it is now possible to cut the hedge
Best garden tool I own. Can do jobs I used to pay Gardener. Bought one for my brother !
his is a great piece of kit no more ladders needed it is not really light but saying that it is not to heavy neither i would recommend
items is good value for its price range. it is a little heavier than ideal, but is this way because of the telescopic tube and battery. battery lasts a decent amount of time and item is good quality
Loved it but got a good upper body workout as it is heavy.
Like it’s lightness,ease of use and the fact it’s made in Great Brittai
Certainly does the job as a trimmer of new growth – can struggle a bit with thicker branches, but then it’s not a “cutter”. Still have my plug-in hedge cutter for the thick stuff though.
Used it 3 times now and am impressed by its long reach and ease of use.
The handle-grip moves up and down the shaft allowing you to change the centre of gravity as you extend the reach.
Handy that it folds back on itself for easy storage.
Super easy to use and works really, really well. Ordered a non-perfect one at 30 discount and the only issue was that the packaging on the outside was taped up, everything else was perfec

Used for the 1st time and am happy. This is a domestic hedge trimming device and for the price is great value for money. I have used a petrol Stihl long reach hedge cutter which probably cost 10x the price and weighed 5x as much. The Stihl is the better cutting device but so it should be! Horses for courses…..
Very easy to use.
Not the lightest available but perfectly okay. I’m a 5′ 0″ female and have used it to cut our 60′ x 7′ hedging.
Great value for money.
It was easy to use it was well balanced nice and light and also being able to angle the clipper blade for whatever you are trimming very good quality product in my opinion all in all i am pleased with my purchase
After a bit of a look through I found this extendable hedge trimmer and though I would give it ago and to my amazement I’m very happy with it it doe’s a good job of cutting the blackthorn hedge in-between me and a field behind me ( Farmer can’t be bothered to cut it so I have to to keep it tidy )
It’s nice and light and I can do the hedge in 1/4 of the time I did with the electric one the battery seems to last quite a while I could probably do the back and front hedges and still have some battery power left, So I would highly recommend one of these easy to work , Light and doe’s a nice cut what more do you need ?
Very pleased with this purchase, good quality, easy to use, quick to recharge battery.
It does the job very well but it is heavy it could have come with a strap which would take the weight just to make the job easie
I purchased one of these a year ago as the electric one I have was quit heavy and tiring on my arms ,

After reading reviews I was expecting this to be heavy, however it isn’t for me that is! The Battery lasts ages and the cut quality is really good and has good results.
Not as lightweight as you think when you start using um
Excellent value for money, good battery life, when fully extended bit awkward to handle, heavier than expected, shoulder strap would help
Exceeded expectations. The reach and adjustability is excellent. Battery life very good so far with a really useful digital display of power level. Very pleased with it.
Would have gave 5 stars but it is a bit heavy.
Excellent product, long battery life, easy to use and very effective, would definitely recommend.
I’m so glad I made this purchase! I’ve just done all the garden, would’ve taken me all day, but only took 20 minutes! It’s so simle to use, charge is still half full, even with battery attached it’s still not too difficult to lift & I’m very small!! Great product, breezed through jasmine Bush, forsythia tree, huge curry plant, rosemary & a stubborn lilac Bush with no issues!!
its a bit heavy for older people i would say
very pleased with yardforce hedgetrimmer,nice and light and easy to use.good lenght of time to use battery life.thank you.
Works very well cutting the hedges and shrubs also cutting long grass.
Easy to adjust the cutting head for different angles.
A bit top heavy cutting the top of the hedge but with practice I’m sure it will get easier.
Battery charge is good as I only used about 20% for over 30 minutes use.
Would have given it 5 had it not been for the slight top heaviness.
I read a range of reviews of different trimmers before buying this one on the basis of a balance of price and product specs as supported by reviews. Over a couple of weeks it has proved very effective in my mother’s garden, dealing with her holly and privet hedging which is up to ten feet tall and for the shaping to individual bushes. Some reviews criticised its weight. If it was lighter it would not be sturdy enough to do the job or to last. I can happily use it for 15-20 minutes. If it is used with the pole fully extended then, with the weight of the cutting mechanism and motor at the end, it will feel a bit unwieldy at fist but I got used to in in a very few minutes. An occasional criticism in some reviews was that it wouldn’t cut thick branches – it is a trimmer, not a lopping device! It has a 14mm blade opening which I have found very satisfactory for normal trimming but it also dealt effectively with slightly larger stems as I also wanted to do some cutting back. I cannot comment on battery life because I haven’t drained the battery yet – the helpful charge indicator was still saying 73% after fifteen minutes of use and I haven’t bothered checking it again! I think this trimmer is great value. Cutting angle of blades to pole is easily changed and the blade cover is easily put over the blades for storage.

hrilled with my new hedge trimmer, it usually takes about 6 hours with shears, i did it in less than an hour.
Cuts really well and flexible angle of cutting blades really helpful. Really easy to use – plug in the battery and pull the trigger(s).
As per some of the other comments – when you are holding at full length it can feel heavy after 30 / 45 seconds.
Spot on for not needing ladders and disappearing in to my conifers. Gets bit heavy after a while but all would be same
Arrived promptly and well packaged. Very little ‘build’ needed and I found it easy. I charged the battery and off it went. Worked well on my tall yew hedge and saved me precariously balancing on a ladder! Only challenge I found is that I found it very heavy (and I like to think I am not that weak) with no supporting strap that may have helped. It meant I had to pause every few minutes to rest!!

Item heavier than you think ? Very easy to use, good extension length and good angle
Adjustment for blade.
Cuts thru thick hedge growth.
Worth buying for regular use.
Good value for money. Found battery life good, and quick to charge. Very versatile head and length options. Cuts 95% branches with ease.
Got warranty extended for a further year, by registering direct.
I like how battery charge was much quicker than others i tried,also how blade folds down,easy to carry,and put away,it helps to be able to move the side handle to help to hold it when extension pole gets used
for balance .It will do the job, trimming the smaller shrubs for this price its a reasonable machine.not used it for any length of time to see how battery holds its charge.
Great product. Easy to set up and use. Battery charges very quickly.
Its light, its very easy to use with no complicated attachments or assembly! you literally charge the battery for 90mins attach, remove guard extend and off you go! Ok the extender isn’t the longest but it certainly gets up high. Also cuts through stubborn branches easily as well as the usual bushes … all in all very pleased. On first use I did the whole front on one charge easily and it needed a lot of work doing. Highly Recommend.
I was really pleased with this. The angled head is very advantageous. Easy to use too.
It’s easy to use but soon feels heavy when using up high
Spent 20 minutes trimming the back hedge. Good reach
and if you need to go higher then a pair of step ladders will
give you that extra few feet. Cut the hedge with ease.
People complain it’s top heavy? Well of course it is.. just take your time and
and plenty of rest in between.
When I finished still had 72% charge left in battery!
Thoroughly recommend.
The handle was hard to put on, but all in all cuts nice
I was a little concerned at the sound of the trimmer when starting the job was not sure that it would be powerful enough. This was found not to be the case good for medium to small garden work. I think it would struggle on larger garden or larger shrubs
This is much heavier than I expected so it takes some getting used to it, but it’s powerful and has a very long reach. This means that I can cut the hedge more quickly as I’m not moving my ladder as often. It’s heavy so I’ll soon have arms like a bodybuilder!!
I used this pole hedge trimmer to cut tall shrubs in my garden. It has a rechargeable battery so there are no trailing wires, which makes life a lot easier. The cutting head can be adjusted to different angles which is helpful. The downside of this tool is that it only cuts soft branches/stems. Unfortunately, it will not cut woody stalks.
I liked the fact that it was much lighter than my previous mains operated hedge trimmer. It’s easy to handle and cuts well.
The packaging was in bad shape when it arrived: torn and badly dented cardboard box, taped back together to keep it from falling completely apart. The interior packaging was also badly bent out of shape.
Even worse, the battery charger had 1 bent pin (see foto). I could bend it back straight, but I shouldn’t have had to. The bent pin can’t be the fault of bad packaging.
Despite that, everything seems to work OK.
Lots of reviews saying product is heavy, well I’m a 5′, 9stone woman in my 50’s and thought it was fine, really happy with i
BUY IT – A tad flimsy but for around the home-garden (overgrown or for pruning) it’s just fine. If you are a casual user you will get tired before the ‘little battery’ runs out ! – I cut back 3ft of height of 25 yards of privet with no issues amongst other things – Samsung battery pack too ! ‘Could have bought better obviously but this is a comfortable keeper 🙂 .
This has done the job I bought it for. I have a 15 metre long hawthorn hedge which is 2-3 metres high and this cutter does the job well. It comes with minimal assembly needed (just the handle needs fitting), folds down well for storage, the instructions are clear and concise and the battery charges quickly (90 minutes). However – to use a tool of this type safely and effectively requires a degree of strength and stamina. Especially if it is extended to its full length. This is just basic physics, any tool of this kind would require the same effort by the user.

So easy to use, good value for money. Satisfies my OCD with a perfectly groomed hedge.
I’ve got two 8-10′ high privet hedges on both sides of my garden and I normally use ladders when cutting them. This hedge trimmer halved the time it normally takes. Quick to charge, easy to adjust I loved using them. They are heavy when extended fully. I imagine they all are. If you’re fit with good arm strength you’ll get along fine. If you’re not then beware, you might struggle.
I needed an extendable hedge trimmer to reach the top of my high hedge. This trimmer, at less than 100, is excellent value. I was concerned that at the price, it might be flimsy. Not so; it’s very robust and also extremely well designed. The extension and adjustable head are easy and convenient to use. Battery power – so far – also better than expected. All this said, it is slightly top heavy but I guess this goes with the territory (and I am 75!). I’m pleased with the purchase and based on the value for money I score it give stars.
Geoff, Lincol
WOW I could not believe how easy it was to use and how quick I cut my hedge and then still lots of battery power left too
I order the machine and it arrived really quickly in 2days
My hedges are looking so good now , I wished i bought this machine earlier.
This machine is relatively light ,good cutting power and machine folds up really quick and stores easily in my shed
There is no assembly on this product other than adding the charged battery pack
The telescopic feature is really quick to adjust and lock
No more using my ladders and cutting cables
Is an efficient tool, well constructed and sturdy, battery charges quickly, however, the machine is heavy and takes a strong person to hold it in workable position for more than a minute or so. I used it to trim a long six foot high leylandii and also a laurel hedge of same height and was extremely tired after half a day.
good ramp easy to use recommend one its good in fact am going to Buy another!
it is a bit heavy when extended but its good to use on high hedge just hope batterie lasts
I would definitely recommend this trimmer, no question.
Firstly the product was very easy to assemble, not a lot to do, just battery in and off you go. The trimmer is quite light and easy to manoeuvre, which is very helpful if you want to reach high hedges like mine. The extension is impressive, I have to say that for the first time ever, I did not need to use a ladder, which is great as it’s much safer.
Another good feature is the pivoting head, you can adjust it to suit your type of hedges, very impressive.
I have to say that this machine is worth recommending, packed with lots of good features, powerful and also good for storage, it does not take much space at all as it folds down.
