    Simple to use, light weight yet powerful and with very good safety design. However it is louder than previous models and at 100db you will be wanting to wear ear defenders when using it.

    … there were bits broken off both ends of the blade cover. The box was slightly damaged too. After I registered (with difficulty) the guarantee, Bosch refused to send me a new cover, telling me to contact Amazon, who, of course wanted me to send the whole machine back. I declined.

    Apart from that, the trimmer does its job well. It is slightly heavier than I expected, though.

    As expected, does the job & can handle 15mm branch stems. Not light weight, when cutting 10 feet hedges can be tiring & not very manoverable. Next time would consider battery option, and most light weight option. Overall for limited usage, a good solid machine.

  7. Gene Park says:

    The switch tends to be rather intermittent in operation – the cutter just stops from time to time for no very evident reason. Teeth do well on small branches and twigs, but often appear to find even moderately thick branches too much for themselves. But in general terms it does a satisfactory job.

    Bosch AHS 50-16 Electric Hedge Cutter

    Bought this to replace a similar, but battery-powered, model (AHS 3 Accu) that had served me well for around 20 years. This corded model is so powerful and easy to use, that I didn’t want to stop! A hedge that used to take weeks to trim now takes a day.

    My only very minor criticism would be: the cord could do with some sort of catch or guard, to ensure it doesn’t slip onto the blade.

    This hedge trimmer is a reasonable weight while having a long enough blade to make quick work of trimming hedges and shrubs. It is also much quieter than the one it replaces.

    Golden Review Award: 8 From Our UsersThese Bosch Hedge Trimmers were bought to replace 40+yr Black & Decker that had expired last autumn. The new ones arrived within 24 hours, in good packaging, undamaged. They are light and uber sharp. …not too heavy for my arthritic hands/thumbs, as a 70+ female I can handle them easily, would recommend. The 10mtr cable is quite flexible, but will need an extension for a larger garden. They won’t quite cut the thickness of stems that the old B&D did, but – heavier/stronger trimmers would have been harder to handle, I conceded to this. I registered them on-line for extended – to 3yrs, guarantee. It was very difficult on-line to do this, Bosch don’t do themselves any favours, jumping through ‘all the hoops’ took quite a while; if you do this be sure to get the serial and product codes off the trimmers before you start. However, as I am so pleased with the trimmers I have still given them 5 stars

  25. LaurenMalone says:

    Blade is quite long so it means you cover more hedge with each cut which minimises time spent stretching out your arms. That’s logical but I hadn’t considered blade length when I bought it. The other plus is how sharp new blades are like cutting through butter and the machine is more than powerful enough for a suburban garden and importantly light enough for a relative oldie like me (70).
    My cutting is used on a variety of shrubs, pitsom porum, climbing hydrangea, ceonathis, and various hedges – but no beech.

For personal use is doing the job. After you finish your job make sure you apply some oil on the blade. Read the manual I would highly recommend

    Golden Review Award: 136 From Our UsersThis choice was as replacement for my heavy duty Bosch AHS480-24T, weighing in at 4.1kg, which had failed after 12 years heavy use. I was tempted to. go for the AHS60-26 at 129-99 & weighing in at 3.6kg, but chose the lightweight above at 2.7kg. The reasoning is that we have some 200m of large hedging – hawthorn, beech & privet; but at age 83, I find in increasingly hard to handle the heavier cutters. The decision was influenced by another correspondent who sagely pointed out that the cutter cost equals a single visit from a professional gardener. We have such a proven service, better than I can cut, but my reasoning was that if I can continue for 2 or 3 more years before I give up it is a healthier option! So how is the AHS50-16 ? A slightly longer blade, much lighter @ 2.7kg; a wickedly sharp set of cutters; an integral cable -i.e. not detachable. (I still need a long extension lead to access the remotest corners of the hedging). The ‘test run’ was on a 2m spherical holly bush, covered in soft new growth. Very easy. The next test will be whether I can maintain sufficient finger pressure to use the cutter as a milling machine when cutting the long straight hedge tops. Hence 4 stars for a start.
    Addendum: Have now (end September) cut all hedging ready for the Winter. Partly due to the extraordinary dry Summer, the hedge growth was not as rampant as in previous years. The cutter has done the job well, although unlike it’s powerful heavy predecessor, it struggles somewhat with thicker stems. Nevertheless, it has proved the point, so I think it deserves the fifth star.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersRobust but lightweight hedge cutter. Ideal for tall hedges although some may find the safety measure of two-handed operation a bit restrictive(you need one hand on the safety release and one on the start trigger to operate). I find the cutter excellent in use and the 500mm blade just about right for quite a thick hedge. Well made and plenty of cutting power.

    Golden Review Award: 58 From Our UsersLight, sharp, reliable. If you prefer a mains electric hedgetrimmer this is an easy recommendation. It replaces a similar Bosch model which I used for 4 years (I cut quite a few hedges). Granted a cable can be a drawback but with use you get used to it. The big advantage over petrol hedgetrimmers is lightness which is important to me as I’m not beefy.The advantage over cordless is it keeps going all day if necessary.
    This is better than any other electric hedgetrimmer that I’ve used for lightness, sharpness, versatility, and durability.
