Bosch 0600849F70 Cordless Hedge Trimmer AHS 50-20 LI (1 Battery, 18 V System, Stroke Length: 20 mm, In Cardboard Box), Gree
-
Effortless cutting
The cordless system and lightweight design, at just 2.5 kg, means hedges can be trimmed comfortably and without the annoyance of tangled cables.
-
Ergonomic design
Convenient hedge cutting in nearly every position thanks to the multi-position front handle with its transparent hand guard.
-
Safe and efficient
The tool’s blade-tip protector helps cut effortlessly along walls and the ground.
-
Ideal for medium-sized hedges
The laser cut blades allow the hedge trimmer to cut through branches up to 25 mm in diameter.
ANTI-BLOCKING SYSTEM FOR CONTINUOUS CUTTING
If a branch is not cut through on the first attempt, the tool changes the running direction of the blades. This Anti-Blocking System thereby facilitates uninterrupted cutting when other hedge trimmers are ready to give up. This makes cutting quicker and more efficient than with comparable products.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great hedge cutte
I have the mains version of this cutter which is superb. I was a little sceptical about the cordless version but I needn’t have been. This is excellent for cutting thick hedge, maybe not just as powerful as the corded version, but great for trimming. The battery power has lasted long enough for me to cut my hedges and I have a lot of hedge. I like the 16V battery is interchangeable with other tools as I have the Bosch trimmer and the battery is interchangeable, so I always have one on charge. If your looking for a quality hedge cutter look no further.
5.0 out of 5 stars I bought this trimmer in 2017 and 6 years later it is still going strong
Bought in 2017 and can honestly say I have been so impressed with what this hedge cutter can cut through and the fact I have had no issues with it in 6 years of use. The battery lasts a very long time. Trimmed a 20 metre beech tree hedge standing at 10ft tall and still had juice in the battery. 100% recommend and would buy again if it ever did break.
5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to handle
we had a cordless trimmer before and it was always an issue to handle it. In the end we did accidentally cut the cord. This won’t happen with this trimmer, it all definitely worth the money and also handles small tree branches quite well
5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use
This cutter has helped me get my garden into shape. It is easy to manipulate and effective at trimming my bushes and hedges. The battery lasts quite a long time. Not having a cable to cut through is such a bonus. It is quite sturdy and well made too.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good weigh
This battery operated machine is more powerful than others I have tried but is not as heavy as my mains version so is easier to use on ladders or in tight spaces.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good
I found it to be a good hedge trimmer with plenty of battery life and the free additional battery offer that was running when I ordered it made it even better value.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good hedge trimme
Surprised that a cheap B and Q hedge cutter (battery died and no replacement found) seemed to cut thicker stems more readily than the Bosch. The blade guard slides in place OK but seems to catch on something inside on removal. Sliding the battery onto the charger is fiddly getting it to line up. Sent off the invoice for the free extra battery (a promotional offer) and nearly three weeks later am still waiting on confirmation that the claim is OK / receiving the battery. Neat point is the guard at the tip of the blades. Despite the niggles, overall the hedge trimmers do their job fine.
Battery life is great, the batteries down have a charge led on them so cannot say how long i could get before it dies, an annoying omission and why i’ve docked one start for this review.
Cuts my hedges far faster than my corded (Bosch) trimmer mainly because i’m not constantly try to avoid slicing the cable (many time on my corded one!)
Its light and does a fine job though I’d prefer a longer blade reach. Also it struggles with thick branches that my corded one eats for breakfast.
I’ll keep my corded one for the first cut of the year where there may be stronger growth, for the trimmings rest of the year i’ll use this battery one.
I have this minute finished clearing a dog walk track behind our house.It is overgrown with brambles brush and trees,I must say I am impressed with the ease it cut through anything I put it to work on.
The anti jamb mechanism worked billiantly. The thing I noticed, you have to grip both handles with even pressure or it stops immediately,I liked that as it means you are less likely to have accidents.
I am very impressed with my purchase,I would recomend them to anyone.
5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use
I’m getting on a bit and found them easy to use and not too heavy. They did the job well and made short work of my front hedge – I had plenty of energy left to sweep up the clippings! 🙂 Good to know that the battery can be used on other items – if I choose to buy something else in the range.
The trimmer has good cutting power and the battery lasts for a long enough time to trim 5 large bushes.
The blade is showing some premature wear on some of the teeth (only used it twice). The lower blade seems to be catching on the upper in some places. No excessive noise so maybe it’s just bedding in.
I have a very mature garden and I’m not a natural gardener which means things can get a little out of control, especially with hedges and bushes. I wanted something that meant I could quickly trim an area without changing clothes, checking I have sufficient fuel, priming the motor, finding my ear defenders, starting the engine and, after all is done, showering and changing clothes again because everything reeked of two stroke smoke. And my arm ached from the weight.
In other words, I have a spare five minutes, I’ll do something practical.
As I already had several Bosch cordless power tools, this seemed to make sense as it had the same battery type.
Anyway, it’s just arrived, I slotted in one of my already charged batteries, went outside, quickly trimmed a box bush by a window and came back in to finish my cuppa before it cooled too much. Perfect and exactly what I was looking for! Plus, of course, much lighter than my petrol hedge-trimmer.
Next up will be reviewing the little Bosch cordless chainsaw I bought for exactly the same reasons!
Easy hedge cutting
This hedgecutter makes light work of my hedges. It’s easy to use at different angles, light weight and the battery charge is enough to cut a decent amount of hedging. It also charges quickly.
A very usefool garden tool
I have used this trimmer many times now and found it a very useful item. great for my shrubs etc
Doing a better job than I thought it would.
I have plenty of hedge to keep tidy and for years have used petrol cutters. These aren’t miracle workers but if you have a well kept hedge these will be adequate to maintain it. Lighweight and easy to handle they encourage me to maintain the hedge regularly, as it’s a lot easier work than letting it grow and getting the heavier petrol ones out.
Excellent machine
Just what I needed, lightweight and easy to use. Lovely job
LIGHTWEIGHT CORDLESS HEDGE TRIMMER
Easy to use. No cables. One charge did small front garden shrubs and all the rear garden shrubs. The light weight is a major plus.
Best cordless trimmers I've owned.
Over the years I have had cause to buy several hedge trimmers, I’ve tried cordless and normal power cord one’s.
The power from mains have always proved to be better. That was until I bought these, they are excellent. The battery has a good life and one charge can cut my garden hedges several times, the battery seems to do well holding a charge when stored away. They have good cutting power and rarely jam, like the previous battery hedge trimmers I’ve owned. The position of the 2 switches, that both need to be held down for the cutters to work, are in a good position so it’s easy to move the trimmers around without straining your wrists.
Much bettervthan I anticipated.
I’ve always had a hedgecutter with lead. Trailing it up and around the garden. Tbis cordless one is powerful and takes half the time. No leads to manouvre or back to the house to unplug and wind the lead up.
Great item.
Great tool
It’s been great, makes quick work of all types hedges, including pyracanther, hawthorn and boxus. Would highly recommend by comparison to more expensive units.
Poor back up when trying to get quarantee extended
I spent all morning trying to get regestilered for extended garantee.Their system did not recognise the number.Hzd to send photo still not heard anything so much for German efficency!Hopeless.
Good Quality
A good lightweight trimmer, not prone to jamming like many do when the twigs/branches start to gain any noticeable thickness
does what it is supposed to with easy
superb bit of kit, has made trimming hedges around the edge of the property a breeze. Took longer to clean up than cut the hedge. It’s lightweight and the battery lasts for ages, wish I had bought sooner.
Great produc
I expected a cordless trimmer to have less power, but how wrong I was. This is a very efficient hedge trimmer and much better than the corded model it replaced. It is light, cuts better than I expected — and never again will I be repairing the accidentally cut mains cord 🙂 I recommend it.
Excelle
Don’t worry about buying this..does exactly what you expect. Can cope with some tough shrubs and small trees. Pretty light, pretty good battery. Would recommend .
Great hedge trimme
I did a bit of research before deciding on this model and I could not be happier with the performance so far. I have a long hedge along one boundary of my property and this trimmer tackled it without any effort at all. The battery has always lasted long enough to complete any job I have thrown at it. Highly recommended product.
The Hedge-cutter is light, easy to use, and has very good teeth. I have used it to cut around 20 yards of hedge, one side only, and clear paths with thick weeds (such as cow parsley and teasles) growing through. I have also used it as a rough grass and weeds cutter taking swathes out of what should be a wildflower meadow, but is full of hogweed and dock… I charged the battery pack the day it arrived, and I have not yet re-charged it since… and I have used it to do all that work, over two days!!!
Thanks to Mr. Foxi’s review, I too got “can of STIHL Superclean which is expensive but specifically made for hedge trimmers. It’s a resin solvent with lubricant”. It came from Northumbrian Garden Machinery, Hedgeley Services Powburn near Alnwick. I treated it before and after use, and it is excellent stuff, very well worth it. I am convinced that using Superclean facilitates and perhaps improves the cutter. I am so pleased that I can use the cutter so easily.
I loathed cutting the hedges & bushes! The blades of my plug-in couldn’t cope with thicker branches which meant starting & stopping, using secateurs, then restarting, whilst always watching out for the cable. It would get tangled in branches which made the likelihood of accidentally cutting it, even greater. So, I searched for something better, battery powered, and able to cope with slightly thicker branches.
This is the one I chose and what a brilliant machine! The dreaded chore has become a genuine pleasure, so much so, my son bought one and agrees wholeheartedly. The problem now is, judging when to stop! I can fill my bin in less than 20 minutes of fun – so I haven’t had a battery die on me yet.
It’s s so lightweight and manoeuvrable and no cable to cut! I can stand on ladders and not worry about being dragged off when the cable gets fouled (and I fell off), or over balancing. The thicker branches are no longer a problem as the top 10cm of the blade have a different set of teeth and just cut through everything with a bit of patience and ingenuity. Really thick branches 2+cm have to be cut with secateurs, naturally, but the start-stop of previous years has ended. So have stoppages caused by jamming. The blades have not jammed – so far.
I thoroughly recommend this machine.
Good, very good: but limitations.
I’m writing this review after a job that had taken an hour took 20+ minutes. not having to move the cable around planters, tables etc just speeded the job up no end. Absolutely changed the game.
My only observation is, that I certainly don’t think the claims of the size of branch / twig they can go through match the realities.
Fortunately the hedges had a lot of time spent on them over the last two years, so most the growth is winter / spring growth and it did that with no issues.
I would say, on balance however, if I have to go back and do a few manual cuts, V’s the speed gain, then these are worth every penny, and I would recommend on that basis alone.
A good choice
This Bosch cordless hedge trimmer is easy to use and performs its job with ease. I was a little concerned that the length of the blade might be too much to handle but it is in fact just the opposite. You can operate it in all sorts of ways and all you have to do is keeping your fingers out of the works. Nice one Bosch.
Great Hedge Cutters
I love my new cordless hedge cutters. I bought them 8 months ago and, because of a shoulder injury, have not been able to use until now. I was expecting to have to charge up the power pack but no need. Im very impressed with the way the hedgecutters munched their way through my hedge and 4 bushes, all of which had become extremely overgrown as they hadn’t been cut last year. As a single lady I have to cut my own hedges and, whilst these shears are not the lightest in the world, they are so manoeuvrable that the job is done quickly. They are powerful and not flimsy. I’m so impressed by them. I have put the battery pack on charge ready for next time! 10/10 Bosch.
Unable to register produc
2 minute use only out the box because it is late. Very pleased but unable to register. The serial number is on the product but when entered I am told it is only a part number. I have shared personal details for no purpose.
Great cordless hedge trimmer, recommended
This hedge trimmer was a compromise between one with a larger more powerful battery and one that was light enough for me to actually lift. I would say it’s a really good compromise.
The trimmer has dealt with a really tough hedge – all sorts of small trees are in it and, with a bit of effort, it’s cut through branches approx 2cm wide.
The battery has also lasted very well, my arms have got tired before the battery has run out of charge – and it charges again quickly. So far it’s probably been used for 1/2 hour at a time through thick hedge and not run out.
The plastic cover over the blade is really hard to get on an off, seems to stick on something. But overall I would definitely recommend.
Great lightweight hedge trimmer with 50cm blade length
A great purchase at the sale price, and the usual reliable Bosch quality, but I almost didn’t buy this product because of the confusion over the advertised length of the blade.
The product details state that the blade length is 5 inches!!!!! and in another place states 100mm!!!!
As I wanted a proper hedge trimmer I decided to take a risk and order it anyway based on the photos which made the blade length look about normal for a hedge trimmer. When the item was delivered I am pleased to report that the hedge trimmer does indeed have a normal sized blade of 50cm. This discrepancy needs rectifying in the product description and specification, but don’t let it put you off placing an order.
Nicely Balanced
Relatively light and nicely balanced hedge cutter, cuts cleanly. Anti-jam feature useful. Battery life quite good but an advantage is that it uses same interchangeable 18volt batteries as my other Bosch cordless tools so battery life relatively unimportant for me
Excellent machine
Light weight fantastic battery life and the excellent unjamming feature makes this the best hedge trimmer I’ve ever used
Good quality
Seems like a good gadget Not perhaps terribly robust but should be fine for medium hard branches etc I really want something that is just between this and a chainsaw [hence four stars] but am sure this will perform perfectly adequately for most none heavy garden cutting chores!
Happy Customers
My first battery hedge trimmer added bonus I can’t cut through wire again!! very light easy to use and works really well! Even with thicker branches the end works well rounded end means I can cut to ground level!!
Brilliant piece of ki
Fantastic product wish I’d have bought years ago, no more worrying about cutting the cable (which I’ve done a few times ) !! Fantastic battery life and recharged quickly . Really lightweight and feels good in your hands
Life change
I used to do all my hedge cutting my hand and recently bought this hedge trimmer I don’t know why I didn’t do it sooner. Best decision – massive time saver and much easier to use. I am not a very strong woman and I do find this pretty easy to use for about 45 minutes before my arms turn to jelly
Larger hedge trimme
Good longer trimmer just used it so
I don’t know about battery life ye
So good to be cordless.
So much better than my previous corded hedge trimmer. Freedom from cables is so good to use without having to watch where the mains cable is all the time. I like the way that the handle is shaped around in a semicircle so you can hold it in various ways.
It works really well cutting through everything thing in our 75 foot hedge, Holly, oak, hazel and brambles! First time use was for about 20 minutes with no signs of the battery running down. Very pleased. I’d recommend this.
Amazing
Cordless hedge trimmer just arrived didn’t even have to charge it, took it out the box an did the job ignore any negative reviews is amazing I was impressed how easily it but first cordless trimmer I’ve ever used an won’t be the last gets a 5 without a doubt I also bought the bosh lubricant for it I’ve sprayed it up an put it away for next use.
Lightweight useful hedge trimme
This tool is lightweight and easy to use. However it will not cut very thick pieces of a hornbeam hedge. If there is a lightweight model which will cut slightly thicker stems it would be “a perfect machine” especially for people who cannot lift easily. It was a pleasure to use this
Fan of battery
Cut through the wire on my previous corded electric hedge trimmer so decided to move over to battery to negate the risk element.
Now have 3 Bosch battery garden pieces of equipment (Lawn mower, hedge trimmer and strimmer) and can throughly recommend the whole battery thing.
Not cheap but ease of use with no trailing power cables and not having to cert out the extension cable every time you do something in the garden is well worth the money.
It cuts extremely well
It’s very portable, easy to use, and gives a good cut. The charge lasts a good hour.
Light easy to use does the job without stress
Good machine well made easy to handle and light cuts well up to Cira 15 mm branches.
Reasonable price would recommend for trimming but not heavy large branches ideal for fir tree shaping or trimming and general tidying up foliage.
James
Nice bit of kit.
Does what it’s designed to. Bit of a challenge getting my head around the fact there’s no cable, but cuts the hedge in double quick time without the faff of cables/extension sockets.
Happy days!
Perfect for me.
This trimmer has replaced a cheaper make who only lasted a couple of years before it ceased to work.This feel much sturdier and is ideal for trimming work which is what I need it for.I would say it is medium weight. It trimmed my conifer hedge with one sweep so will do the job in half the time that my cheaper model took.I am pleased I bought it.
Easy to use
Got quite a lot of hedge’s to cut , bought this as my petrol trimmer getting to heavy to use for a long period. This is lightweight and easy to use ,it is only a trimmer though. Trimmed a 80 foot long hedge both sides and top on one charge and still not fla
Light weigh
Just what the wife wanted to trim her bush. Come on dirty minds. She can manage it easily now better than the old electric one that she couldn’t lift up.
Wonderful
This is an amazing hedge cutter, I read all the reviews before buying and can say they were all so right.
I have inherited a wretched Laurel hedge which is so difficult to keep in orderthis cutter sliced straight through without any trouble and the job was done in 30 mins!!
Light weight.I have arthritic shoulders but no problem, easy to charge and fit the battery, also the controls are easy to usein fact I enjoyed doing the hedge for the first time.
Brilliantdon’t hesitate if you need an efficient hedge cutter, you won’t be disappointed.

Battery lasts longer than I hoped
I thought I would get a break while cutting the hedge so that the battery could be recharged, but it kept on going. That’s 20m of 1.5m tall privet hedge cut on one charge. I’m really impressed.
Moving to battery power also means I no longer have to stay around an extension lead, nor move the value out of the way. It’s so much easier, and so much safer, I’m glad I’ve moved to battery power.
second time purchase
Bought the same model so I could use the old battery. The old one was a bit temperamental but now both work fine.
Powerful, lightweight and good battery life.
Very easy to use. Lightweight but powerful. Battery lasted for a few hours without having to stop halfway through the job.
Excellent bit of kit!
Really light and easy to use; I’m finishing the garden work in half the time I used to. Excellent battery life as well.
Hedge your bets
Portable, not to heavy, easy to manoeuvre good battery life great cut will not be going back to electric this is so quick and convenient does the job just as well charges quick also very impressed
GREAT HEDGE CUTTER
Excellent tool to have. cuts the hedges in no time. Easy to use and not too heavy. Battery lasts well enough to cut our hedges. So nice not to have trailing wires so much safer. Would recommend.
Lightweight, maneuverable and excellent value for money.
This is my 4th hedge trimmer but my first cordless one. I have to say it’s pretty damn good. I hand a 10ft by 40ft hedge at the end of my garden and it did all of it without running out of charge and because there’s no lead, I did it in record time. I’m a 50 year old with disabilities who is extremely happy with my purchase.
Perfect -no cable!!
My hedges are out of control
This hedge trimmer is perfect I can stop and start with ease and because it is lightweight I find I am able to reach more of hedge – great purchase
Excelle
Very good hedge cutter. Battery life is good for at least an hour. Light to use and a joy to not have to worry about cutting through the cable.
Very effective and easy too use with long battery life
Thought I’d never move away from petrol driven. I was converted in minutes owing too ease of use and light weight. Also did over an hour with no sign of battery fading. As a result two days later bought the long reach version to replace my petrol one even though that is still working perfectly.
Strong and resilient. Great trimme
Very powerful and sturdy trimmer. Cuts through smaller branches. My Laurel hedge is a tough job and this little workhorse tidied it right up. Bit pricey but worth the money

Light and easy to use
We have an electric hedge cutter which I find very heavy to use and such a nuisance managing extension leads in every direction as needed, due to a very big garden.
So this was for me and I am thrilled with it! Went around the garden trimming overgrown shrubs and borders. Charge lasts for ages. Cutters go through thick branches without a problem and it is light to use.
Looking forward to autumn when I can really set to cutting shrubs back.
Life Made Easy
First impression you would think these cutters would not perform so well. Wow, was I surprised. Lightweight and robust. Got them because I have ill health. No cables, no fuss, no worries. Big bang for your buck.

does what it says on the box
With a large garden( 1 acre) and a number of hedges a good hedge trimmer is vital.My petrol trimmer failed after 10 years so I needed another Having read the reviews I bought this as I thought it would do the job but not as well. I am well surprised – it cuts all the hedges I need cut without any problem, is half the weight of the petrol one and the battery lasts very well. Can really recommend
Perfect for most gardens.
I have a very large garden, one hedge is a farm hedge thick blackthorn and holly. This is great for Privet, Holly, Buddleja and anything you will come across in a garden, I like it and you have no danger of cutting through a cable. However for some of the thicker Blackthorn and Sycamore hedging I have it gets stuck. For that I use the Bosch Hedge trimmer AdvancedHedgeCut, that beast will go through anything, but it heavier and you have to use a cable. Over the three years I have had it I have cut it twice, thankfully I have a safety thermal cut-out, on my extension lead.
I would recommend this, it will last for about 45 minutes of cutting on one charge, you can get a lot done in that time.
Very light weight easy to use hedge trimmer.
Very light weight easy to use hedge trimmer, managed to cut a medium length hedge without noticing a drop in power. Bought as a replacement for a 20 year old mains powered hedge trimmer.

Performs as well as my corded hedge trimme
Cut my red Robin’s with no problem at all I was also impressed it made the cut through pyracantha and did a good job on trim my conifer hedge which I wasn’t sure it would manage to. best cordless tool from Bosch bought so fa
Amazingly Powerful and Effective
I don’t write many reviews but my experience using the Bosch cordless hedge trimmer has moved me to do so. After two days of use I can reveal that it is quite simply – superb!!!
I have three sad corded hedge trimmers hanging in my shed and have a history of cutting through cables – my record is about 90 seconds. I ventured once into using a G-Tech cordless (having been very impressed with their vacuum cleaners) but found it jammed and cut poorly.
The Bosch cordless is, however, brilliant. I used it to cut an entire large privet hedge and its long blade and free cordless movement meant it was far quicker and far neater than all my previous efforts. Even my wife was impressed – words I don’t often write in that order!
On top of that, the battery technology seems to have come on in leaps and bounds as I completed all my work without the battery fading at all.
This hedge trimmer will go down as one of my best ever investments and I would recommend it highly to any prospective purchaser.
Arrived quickly.
Arrived quickly. Tried it out on one of my garden bushes as was part charged and ready to go after opening. This Hedge trimmer is medium weight for me but easy to use even with my weak arms. Cuts very well and just what i needed after cutting through the cable on my old Bosch trimmer(that’ll now be a spare). Battery charged to full strength very quickly and well worth paying the extra expense to not have a trailing cable. No more cutting through cables for me now! Sorted!
Does the job impressively well
Easy to use and with impressive performance. I like the shorter teeth at the end that can cut through thicker branches. Then it’s easy to sweep through the rest of the hedge with the full length of the blade. I got about forty minutes trimming on one battery charge and it only took fifteen minutes to be back up to 80% charged and ready to go again. Just time for a nice cup of tea in between trimming sessions. Since I did a full trim of all my hedges, there has been a bit of further growth, but I have been able to re-trim very quickly leaving a well-manicured look. I am so glad I bought this.
Good optio
Really powerful for a battery trimmer. So much easier than a cord model and cleaner than petrol.
Grea
Love this, it is fairly lightweight and has a good battery life. I am an 80 year old female who has recently had to take over hedge cutting from my husband and was finding the corded trimmer too heavy, this is brillian, does a great job.
Brilliant tool
This is brilliant tool that I have used to trim edges of lawn, and great for trimming grass on a grave. Easy to transport too
ergonomics
It was not what was expected maybe I should have done more research I had expected the blade to be about 100mm shorter, never mind it works well just a bit unwielded for my aged hands
Overall a very good cordless hedge trimmer.
Easy to use once you get the blade cover off! The cover is difficult to remove, it keeps catching on the blade. Apart from this the hedge trimmer is great. The battery lasts well too.
Love this.
This trimmer works great! It has the same battery as other bosh products I own so is really easy to mix and match charging. That said I’ve not managed to run the battery down despite having a pretty large hedge. So I have no idea how much hedge you’d really need.
It’s powerful enough to get through some of the tougher branches. The odd one that it didn’t go through I had to take long arm cutters to anyway, they were beyond secateurs as well.
Quality product at reasonable price
A typical Bosch product. Robust, well put together, good cutting blades, and better than my previous Bosch because of the length of the blades which will cope with more than privets. The shears are well balanced, easy to manoeuvre, but does require stout pressure on the trigger before blades operate. Good value from a brand which is trustworthy.
Very light and well designed
So glad I spent a few extra bob, the quality is palpable when you pick up this Bosch and so far it’s very reliable, ergonomic and very light.
Brillia
Amazing power from a battery. I feel much safer using this than a mains-powered machine. Never used a trimmer before. Found it easy to use although I am an old codger.
Give the bush a trim!
Brilliant tool, which is ideal for our countless meters of hedges at the front and back. Cuts well and neatly. Battery holds its charge plus it feels safe and easy to use.
Great produc
Having used a petrol clipper for years with the strain on my arms, this lightweight clipper is a great relief. I did have a cordless one many years ago, but the older generation batteries ran out in about ten minutes if you were lucky! The new lithium batteries are very light and last considerably longer.
I love this!
I have had this for over a year now and remain extremely happy with it. It’s been put to good use trimming tons of hedges. It’s lightweight enough for a good, long hedge-cutting session. I am delighted by how long the battery lasts and the fact that I can just slot it in and get going even if it’s not been used (or recharged) for a while! I did buy a spare battery too but I rarely cut enough in one go to have needed the second one.
I love the extra tough bit at the end of the cutting blades that allows you to cut through slightly thicker branches. Because there are always slightly thicker bits, aren’t there?
The three-way hand grips make it easy to use in all positions and mean that I feel really safe – unless both hands are engaged it doesn’t start.
It also has a function whereby it stops working immediately if you get something stuck in it, so you can’t damage it. I always remove the battery before I start pulling the stuck bit of wood out (just because I’m very cautious) and I’ve never had a problem getting it working again immediately the jam is sorted.
Overall, a really excellent well-designed product.
I love this!
I have had this for over a year now and remain extremely happy with it. It’s been put to good use trimming tons of hedges. It’s lightweight enough for a good, long hedge-cutting session. I am delighted by how long the battery lasts and the fact that I can just slot it in and get going even if it’s not been used (or recharged) for a while! I did buy a spare battery too but I rarely cut enough in one go to have needed the second one.
I love the extra tough bit at the end of the cutting blades that allows you to cut through slightly thicker branches. Because there are always slightly thicker bits, aren’t there?

A really good lightweight streame
Good battery life and ok for most hedges and the Bosh battery is interchangeable with all other Bosh products.
Not really any good for hard or thicker branches where I need to use my 2, stroke Stihl one
If you want a cordless hedge trimmer for thicker or less well kept hedges, then this is the only one to own. It’s a superbly well balanced & lightweight device which cuts through stems up to 20mm thick with ease. The latter is due in part to Bosch’s unique anti-stall technology which reverses the blades in a nano second if the circuitry detects jamming. This feature not only saves time but can also save your fingers as trying to un-jam a sharp bladed hedge trimmer can be quite a dangerous process! This is the longer (50cm) blade model which at a mere 2.6Kgs is definitely worth the extra money and reach and with the equally lightweight and tiny universal battery included, you’ll be able to cut a lot of hedge before the power runs out.
Combine the above with the Bosch X2 year warranty and the fact that this occasionally features as an Amazon deal of the day, then quite simply, even at full price nothing beats this in the 18v category for weight and power. The quality of the blades and the electronics that prevent it from jamming are the best on the market, period. Highly recommended.

Great to use
I’m disabled and a lady with little strength and didn’t like my previous corded ones. These are so easy to use- wish I had bought them months ago. Did my firs at front of house and side of house too so battery life good.Longer than usual corded ones so took less time. I can highly recommend these.
Very quick clean cu
Cut a large hedge in no time ! Very easy to use (just a little bit hard on my arms )Very neat finish .Battery lasts a long time . Only had to cut a couple of thick branches by hand
