An excellent trimmer, well balanced with a good 'reach' and ...
An excellent trimmer, well balanced with a good ‘reach’ and not too heavy in use. Just wish that the cable unfurled more smoothly and didn’t ‘kink’ when in use. Maybe this will smooth out over time. Otherwise a good piece of equipment.
it, a bosch
It,s a bosch enough said really, but with hedge trimmers i always buy bosch, i find them reliable and strong enough to cope with my needs (conifer hedges ) easy to handle easy to manouver stays sharp, just the job.
The old one worked brilliantly so I assume this will be the same
Having had a Bosch trimmer previously I was keen to replace it with another. This one has a slightly shorter blade but a more powerful motor. The old one worked brilliantly so I assume this will be the same.
It's nice and long to reach the top of his large ...
Bought this for my dad’s birthday to replace an old thing he had. He absolutely loves the cut it gives on his hedge. It’s nice and long to reach the top of his large hedge and is controlled easily. Once my own hedge has got to a suitable size I will be purchasing one.
Bosch Hedge Trimme
Hedge trimmer came on time and I have used it once so far – no problems
The first impression is of a serious well made piece of equipment! It is not lightweight, which helps when trimming bushes, and is very easy to use. Before you can operate it, both your hands must be in place to activate the two switches that must be pressed. In other words, if you slipped go with one hand accidentally then the blades would stop – an essential safety feature.
My one small gripe was that the plastic sheath which covers the blades in storage was damaged at the inner end (see diagram). Amazon offered to replace the entire machine, but as the box had been badly bashed about in transit it wouldn’t have been suitable for returning it, and I told them I thought it wasn’t cost effective – they gave me a small refund and I can organise a replacement myself – top marks to Amazon too!
his hedge cutter is light weight and easy to use
his hedge cutter is light weight and easy to use. does the job.
cut well but not on medium size branches
A good versatile hedge cutter.
Slightly different grip to what I have been using for a long time. Good powerful and much lighter than model it replaces

good buy, easy to handle and as an old woman this is important to me
Excellent value for money
Excellent value for money. The two handle positions feel very comfortable and there is very little vibration. Cuts my privet with no problems, even the old woody bits. The cord is a little shorter than my previous Black & Decker, but I always use an extension cable anyway, so that’s not a problem.
hey have the long blade and are lighter than our old pair and are great to use
bought these with our neighbour when our old pair died on us we both have a big gardens with a lots of hedge,we had our old pair about 6 years and they did ours and the next door garden so they did well.We replaced them with the up dated version…they have the long blade and are lighter than our old pair and are great to use .
I'm not disappointed, powerful and ligh
Bought these on special offer as I have a medium sized hedge round my house and wanted a quality item at the right money. I’m not disappointed, powerful and light, easy to use and fast. Well recommended.
Five Stars
Really impressed with this and at very reasonable price through Amazo
Very pleased with this
ook longer for delivery than normal for amazon, however once here it works very well and is lighter than my old flymo trimmer. Very pleased with this produc

Very pleased with this product which has cut easily through all hedging that I have asked it to tackle. Iit does everything that it is expected to do with no strain on its motor and gives a clean cut.
Excellent eletric tool
Excellent eletric tool, ligheter than the previous one I had but performance is much better. I didn’t put full mark because the delivery time promised was not, by far, respected. As for the product I recommend it as excellent.
Five Stars
very good hedge cutter. light weight an not to noisy.
This is very quiet, sure and strong. It’s a little awkward with the handle angle and caused small wrist fatigue after half hour constant use, but having a break at short intervals is sensible practice. Vibration is minimal and with a file i can see light sharpening is easy. Recently i have veered away from Bosch products as i have negative experience with other tools. This item restores my faith somewhat in Bosch, at least for the hedge trimmer it does. i would recommend this product over others as i have broken seven opther brands in the last six years. This is not very old yet, but already i can see it will last longer than them and it is around the same cost. I will post a review update in a year to confirm this
GOOD VALUE
My husband found this to be good value and worked very well. Cut the hedge with little effort so a big bonus.

only had it working for a very short time,so cannot comment on longevity, but it is light to use and well balanced, and will cope with all I want it fo
Good
This item works well and tackled some of the thicker growths in the hedge with great ease. It is lightweight (easy to use) but has the power to tackle the toughest job without much effort. The double safety switches are a nuisance, but their inclusion can be appreciated for the safety factor.
Jayem
First Class hedge Trimmer for my Purpose, Cutting mixed Holly/ Cotonaster/ Roses.
This is my personal opinion for what is worth, I have no gripes
good hedge clippers, work fine
Had the same model for a few years till they conked out. A bit of research showed these to still be good value so bought 50cm blade model, seems best length even for quite large hedges as not too long to be unwieldy but also not too short.
Cuts the hedge fine and is reasonably light.
Triggers
As with other reviews I found holding the triggers down for continual use a bit hard on the wrists. One trigger would be a lot easier.
Hedgecutte
If you want a hedgecutter at the right price and that does the job, then this is the hedgecutter for you. Cut the hedges and they look very good. Would recommend it.
Good long blade
After years of using good manual clippers, age persuaded me to automate the jobs. The longer reach of this model is great, saves climbing higher on the step ladder and leaning at a dangerous angle! Copes with both privet and a mature Leylandii hedge, except for the thickest branches. Love Bosch gardening tools, well made and do the job.
In my list of favourite things to do, trimming the hedges is not one of them, especially when I had a clunky old trimmer that kept cutting out. I replaced it with the reasonably priced ‘Bosch AHS 50-16 Electric Hedgecutter’, a device that gets the job done very well. As a trimmer it not quite as powerful as my old machine, there if no chance that the ‘Bosch’ will cut through thicker branches, it is a leaf only device. For most situations this is fine, but it did mean getting out my pruners when I wanted to cut back the hedges a lot this spring.
Criticising a hedge cutter because it merely trims and not cuts is fair, but a little harsh. As a trimmer it is excellent. It is lightweight and easy to handle with a decent length power cable allowing me to work around my entire front garden. The blade protector that comes with the ‘Bosch’ is also a very good touch as it means the blades should last a little longer before furring up and needing to be oiled. At the price point the ‘Bosch’ hedge cutters are available for, they represent very good value. However, on occasion I would have liked a little more grunt from them.
Good quality produc
Really pleased with the performance of this hedgecutter although my partner thought it a little heavier than anticipated but great results. I have already submitted a review of the packaging as requested……..which was poor, with a hole in the box & no more protection than the box itself
Hedge
Seems OK. Not given much use due to bad weather. But it was replacement for a Bosch item which lasted 3 years of hard use.
So hears hoping.
Fantastic Hedge Cutter - right size for cuting Medium sized hedges
I purchsed this Hedge cutter after mulling over and over the blade size and finally settled for Bosch AHS 50-16 – which is not only good quality tool but good value too.
It is perfect size and weight to cut Medium sized hedges.
Conifer trimming and cutting
Fantastic price and I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to use and the worry I had about safety was unfounded ! Cuts through quite thick stems
Light-weight and enough powe
This is the first powered hedge-trimmer I have bought, on moving into a new house we now have 60m of 1.5m high box hedge to cut. I can complete this without too much strain on my arms because the weight is fine. The blade length allows me to get an even cut and the tooth spacing copes with the slightly thicker stems OK (box is quite a hard wood).
Does the job well.
Sturdy construction and it feels like it is up to the job. The hand control electric safety switches are a bit heavy to keep pressed in and tire your hands after continuous use. The balance of the cutter could be a bit better but otherwise it is man enough for the job and the quality seems good.
ow that i have reached 87 i find my petrol driven hedge cutter hard to start and manage
after handleing other makes i chose this one because it felt right and i did not suspect its reliability .After my daughter and her husband came to give a helping hand they also liked it and dumped their old cutter and bought one the next day we have a large amount of hedging and i am still very pleased with it so full marks all round
Does The Job
Cut off thick branches and still in working order. Nice and smaller than my last one which was a monstrosity but still powerful enough.
Lightweight Hedge Cutte
Excellent lightweight hedge cutter. It is well balanced and is ideal for my purposes. Service was prompt and efficient. Well done!
Hedgecutte
Arrived in good condition. Item as described but the balance is slightly off as the blade is long. But cuts the hedges well and will be well used.
very efficie
Extremely fast. You will never doze off using this machine, you’ll have the neighbours looking out. A bit awkward with the cable attached at times but not impossible to manoeuvre. It was good buying it from Amazon and it came very quickly.
General review
The blade cover is awkward to fit and fiddly.
Otherwise the blade length is good, its not too heavy generally very pleased.
The delivery service was excellent.
A Good Produc
Not your typical Bosch product but good nevertheless. Does the job it is supposed to do, and is nice and lightweight. There are probably better cutters available, but at a weight penalty. Recommended if you have a bit of arthritis in the wrists, like me.
Bosch AHS 50-16
This hedge cutter arrived as stated within two days,
Its easy and light to use and does not vibrate as much as I would have expected its very smooth to use.
Its cuts through all of the 12 months growth with no problems, and the blades look as if they will last me out.
Good Purchase
Had to purchase new hedge cutter due to older one literally ‘blowing up’ (a cheap item). I am really happy with this new item, it is lighter to hold and works like a dream. Really pleased with purchase and would recommend it to everyone.
Hedgecutte
My husband was very pleased with this Hedgecutter, having a lot of foliage and hedges , it has made his job much easier.
speedy repalcement for hedge cutter that died
seems to do the job OK – like the longer blade and ability to cut thicker stems than previous hedge trimmer
good price and speedy delivery
Bosch AHS 60-16
Bought this for my son as a present, he is delighted with it and does the job of cutting his hedge, I have Bosch lawnmowers and lawn rakers so hopefully he has plenty of use from it.
I found the cutter 50-16 is fine does what it says and is light to use (I’m getting on a bit).
However the former heavier and robust model AHS 480 I had developed a motor fault (commutator lost segments) bear in mind, purchased in 2004 and has had considerable use by myself and family members so not so bad although annoying it broke down half way through the job.
The difference in use is the 480 well balanced, although heavier, was easier and more comfortable to use on vertical plane from low cut up to and above shoulder level as not only the forward switch but had interlinked side switches whereas the 50-16 only has the forward switch and makes for un-comfortable vertical plane cutting. I suppose I will get used to it.
A useful machine, the blade guard easy to get off less than easy to get back on so found the old machine guard fits it, So the down sides are minor, lack of side switches and naff guard.
Hopefully I can recover the blades from the old machine for the new one if they fit I’ve yet to find out. The old guard fits the new machine so that’s a bonus.
Congratulations on a very good produc
Good product which is well designed. I’ve been using Bosch Hedge Trimmers for years. They only last one season, but as they’re good value for money, I keep with the company. They appear to have a built-in fault but I’m happy with that as they are cheap to replace, although I am not happy that the Earths resources are being wasted for commercial gain. I needed a longer cutting blade to reach higher hedges.
Grea
I have a large hedge in height, about eight foot, and with this cutter it means I can reach the top without having to climb ladders.
I only need them for the top
Hedge Cutte
An excellent product which I have found ideal for the task it was required for. It arrived safely although the packaging was damaged but the item was complete. It has been used to cut a beech hedge of some height an has succeeded in doing the job satisfactorily.
Lightweigh
Light in weight and does the job but I miss the extra triggers that I had on a previous hedgecutter as this restricts you to holding it from the top only.
Bosch Hedge trimme
Works well – replacing a Flymo sabre cordless hedgetrimmer whose power supply failed after 2 summers. Seems to be more powerful than the Flymo despite costing half as much. A bit heavy for an unfit 50+ lady to use for more than 30 mins at once, but that isn’t the hedge trimmer’s fault.
I needed to replace my old ‘workhorse’ hedgecutter of over thirty years. I did intend to get a rechargeable one but decided on this as I thought it would be lighter and, after all I was use to avoiding the lead all these years. I have only used it once but found it much easier to use than my old one as it was lighter and run more smoothly. Very pleased with my purchase.
Hedgecutter.
A perfect replacement eor the one i ruined.The price beat all the other sites i visited.It arrived on time and well packaged.The downside was,that there was no longer an excuse to not cut the hedge.Thank you.
hedge cutte
excellent cutter for the price payed,easy to handle but found switch a bit tiring as it needs a tight grip to keep switched on.
Hedge cutte
Within 20 minutes of its first use I cut through the power cord and it took a while to get the right screwdriver to break into the machine body and replace the cord. Seems ok though.
Bosch AHS 60-16 Electric Hedgecutte
I chose this hedge cutter mainly because of the Bosch name and reputation. I find that it is lighter than other models I have used. It has a comfortable grip, is easy to start and hold in the on position.
Very effective product.
Pleased with this, seems a reasonable compromise between price and outright performance and I would rate it as a very effective hedgetrimmer. It’s also lighter but with a longer blade than our previous model.
A cut above the res
Excellent performance, ideal size for domestic hedges. Light weight and a decent length of cord to negate always having to use an extension cable. Good value
Hedgecutte
This is really a very good machine, I already used it a few days after it arrived. Does what it says, clean cut, very silent, light in the hands and very easy to work with in all angles. Got this delivered only a few days after I placed the order and came completely undamaged. I must say that there is a very long cable attached to the machine so you have plenty of space to work and nearly need another cable. Very pleased with the quick delivery!

im very happy with my purchase, and the very fast delivery. my neighbour had a mishap with his hedgecutters as I think most people do by cutting the electric cable. so I lent him mine, he was so impressed with them that he is going to purchase the same.
An excellent produc
This an excellent product, as one would expect from a Bosch product. I have no hesitation in recommending this hedgecutte
Works nicely!
Maybe the 55 would have been better but this works very nicely and cuts through branches that you might think would be too thick.
Not too noisy either.
Light and Effective
I bought this to replace a cordless hedgecutter which was adequate but too heavy and needed recharging too frequently (45 minute use) for my liking.
I use this for trimming a privet and beech hedge and it is very effective.
bosch electric hedge cutte
excellent producvery light weight easy to use and handle would recommend to family and friendnever bought bosch before and am impressed
Replacement item
Was a direct replacement for previous model. Appears to work well time will tell. Reputable make so expectation is standard
Just what I was looking fo
I would recommend this to all it was just what I was looking for easy to use and I like the safety features
hedge cutte
Very good . Metal blades and cuts hedges well. Ideal weight for both sexes in order to do a good job. It is strong and has been well tried by us for fir tree and hebe hedges which are denser than privot.I never give 5 stars as nothing is perfect but Everything is very good .
Hedgecutter.
Competitive price with Bosch reliability. No problems works very well on small to medium hedges etc. Good guarantee with local outlets if things go wrong..
Good product.
I wasnt keen on this at first as it didnt seem to cut as good as my old one but my neighbour had more success with it then I did. He managed to cut quite a few inches off easily and quickly and it was quite a thick hedge. Didnt think it was very powerful but it did the job and did it well!
It was selected for its extra length of cut compared to the others on offer. It fairly light to use and the noise it makes will not disturb the neighbours too much on a Sunday morning. Yes, I would recommend it for men, and ladies who are far from infirm.
Excellent to use and not too heavy
This was an extremely good price after quite a lot of research and my mum has found it very light to use.
Great for the price!
I have not used this very much yet but on the occasions that I have it has worked beautifully and speeded up my tidying in the garden. It will get a real test in the Spring but I am very pleased with the initial results.
Excellent hedgecutter for smallish garde
Use this for all our shrubs about twice a year plus a couple of small hedges. My husband mainly uses it and I do sometimes as it is not too heavy. Does a good job.
a good Produc
Very Comfortable over the shoulder and easy to use, not too heavy for a woman too, Very efficient and cuts a neat row.
This will handle most domestic hedges with no bother If you are just tidying or trimming.If like me you are trying to tame an out of control triffid, the occasional thicker shaft around the base of the hedge of around 15-20mm presented problems however as it just knawed away and did not cut cleanly, no real hardship though as I just sawed these.
Good cable length and sturdy feel and the end result was fast to achieve and what I was looking for.The longest part of the job was clearing the offcuts!

I purchased this item to replace my B&D product bought several years ago and which has served me well. What I liked about my B&D was that although it also had a safety mechanism, I was able to operate this at arms length and one handed. If used as it should be, then the Bosch product requires two handed operation but with care, a rubber band can overcome this problem. I am very pleased with the Bosch product and would comment that it does give a superior cut.

Bought this as a replacement for our previous hedgecutter which had broken down. I decided to try a Bosch product this time as we own several other appliances from this company and have found them to be very reliable. What a great buy, the difference it’s made is amazing. It’s so much lighter and easier to use than our previous trimmer and now the hedge is finished in half the time. We’ve also used it to trim small branches from trees, which it manages to do easily. An excellent hedgetrimmer and I would heartily recommend it to anyone looking for a quality product at a reasonable price.

having had a rechargeable hedge cutter, and the charger gone west, and no replacement, decided to purchase the electric Bosch AHS 60-16 cutter. What an animal! cuts like a dream, goes through anything, even thick stuff. Keep the trimmer aginst the offending item, and it will go through it. light enough to reach up and trim higher stuff as well. first impressions, a very good piece of equipment.
After putting up with an old and blunt trimmer for years using this is great.
It does its job perfectly, it cuts through a very overgrown hedge no trouble at all.
Plus the fact that when you release either switch the blades stop in about one second.
This is a good safety feature, my old one took at least four seconds which was a bit dicey to say the least.
Its not too nosiey either, all said and done a good product.
Bosch Hedgecutter 60/16
Good product. Weight and balance quite reasonable. I am glad that I went for the 60cm blade, rather than one with a short blade. It cuts well, though sometimes struggles a little with branches that approach the 16mm tooth gap.

Bosch AH60
The product arrived promptly and it does axcactly what it sez on the box, plus it is easy to use and very light. It may have been a good idea to supply a little cleaning oil with it to keep it in good condition. Otherwise very satisfied.
This does exactly what you expect from it. Solid, sharp and easy to operate. i based my choice on internet reviews of this product as i am new to this and i am glad that i have trusted everyone who wrote good things about this machine. My hedges now are neatly trimmed and i am over the moon with my choice and recommend it to anyone; ladies and gentlemen.

ELECTRIC HEDGE TRIMMER
Very pleased with this hedge trimmer, it was excellent value for money and does the job perfectly. What more can you ask for? Also delivery was amazing. I live in Spain and it only took 5 days to get to us.
I had read various reviews on hedgecutters being sold through Amazon. The product is quiet light, easy to use and I have been able to save a lot of time in the garden. It easily slices through soft hedges and conifer growth. This product will soon pay for itself. A well known brand which comes with a blade cover. The delivery took much longer than I expected. Over a year later this product is still going strong.
Hedge cutte
he hedge cutter was brillant being German product its was quick in cutting the hedge but one complaint the packaging it come in the manufactor box no added protection lucky no damage to produc
This is an efficient, easy to use and relatively quiet hedgecutter. The blade is long enough (but not too long) to give nice straight lines when needed. It is well balanced so tired arms are not a problem…yet!
The cutters were put straight in to use. My husband thought they were great, made light work of all our hedges. We have a 60ft garden with hedges both sides and more hedges at front and they are well established. Easy to use and handle, quite powerful and a clean job
This hedge cutter is well balanced and not heavy to use. It cut my privet hedge and conifer neatly. It does seem to run slower than my old one so takes a little longer to cut a hedge. But it does the job for a reasonable price.
First time I have used a hedge trimmer. Glad this one came ready assembled and with blade cover.
Seems very simple and easy to use.
Just remember to keep the wire out of the blade.
Pretty powerful machine for the price – efficiently cuts through branches up to 2cm in thickness. It’s reasonably quiet and light, though after using it for any extended period of time it does begin to feel somewhat heavy. Comfortable to grip as well.
Superb, lightweight and very easy to use. Delighted with it compared to my old very heave one! Would definately recommend it.
Like all Bosch garden tool, this hedge cutter is well designed and does it’s job without fuss or hassles. It feels well balanced, is easy to use and commendably quiet. Some people find the cord a hindrance, but if you put it over your shoulder as the instructions suggest, it doesn’t get in the way.
