    You may think it's light but after using it for 5 minutes, it's not.
    Using it at waist height or lower, it’s fine but on higher bushes, it is not so manoeuvrable or light.

    For myself female It is a little heavy but otherwise Brillia
    It is good value for the money. Very efficient. Cuts wells. Delivered promptly. Packed well. The only thing I am having a problem with is the guarantee. I have taken a photo of the small pack on the hedge trimmer and input the number but for some reason it does not recognise it. So will get in touch with customer services once the Christmas holiday is over. It is an excellent hedge trimmer.

    A great upgrade
    This was a replacement for a much older version which had absolutely served its time. It is so much lighter than the one it replaces and does a great job. The fact that the old one lasted so well is the reason I re-purchased Bosch and I have no regrets about the new one so far!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersReally excellent hedgecutte
    This hedge cutter has the very slightly longer 500mm blade and a very slightly more powerful motor than the basic model and I think it is definitely a superior one. Incredibly easy to use – the instructions are almost superfluous other than the safety details – because you really just plug it in and press both buttons and off you go. I used an RCD plug with an extension lead as well which meant I could reach all of my yew hedge with no difficulty and nothing overheated. Cuts superbly and with no catching or jarring – my hedge hasn’t looked so good in ages. And, in case you wonder about the weight, I am a female pensioner so I reckon anyone can use this without too much trouble. Highly recommended.

    So much better than (older) battery powered trimmer.
    Cuts beautifully but be warned: It is not light.
    It weighs about the same as our battery powered trimmer so both can be tiring when reaching up high. Nevertheless the new one is a much better trimmer.

    Save you money in the long ru
    Having been given an old flymo hedge trimmer which struggled to go through any branch thicket than a straw I decided it was best to invest in something that would last me a few years and went for a bosch as I have a lot of other bosch garden products which I’m a fan of.

    Made easy work of my hedges and has saved me paying a gardner 90 exc disposal every year to sort them out.

    Bosch 0600827B70
    The hedge trimmer looks good, is sharp for cutting smaller branches etc
    My dislike is the aukward operation when cutting. The grip at the front of the cutter is a good idea but the trigger grip at the rear of the trimmer is very uncomfortable. Holding in the grip at the front and rear is very aukward when also cutting a hedge from the side.Having to sweep the hedgecutter vertically is uncomfortable to say the least.

    Very efficient, good and robust product.
    The Bosch Product 0600847B70 AHS 50-16 I purchased form Amazon, met more than my expectations. Although I wass looking for the 18″ long blade which was out of stock at the time. the hedge cutter was very fast, sharp and easy to manage and manouevre – not to heavy. Cord was not too long and could have been long as a lawnmower lead, so i had to use an extension lead to reach the hedges further away. But overall I was happy with the product, cuts neat, faster than using shears and less effort.

    Very good
    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.

    Arrived with damage ...
    … 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.

    Does The Job
    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.

    does what was expected of it.
    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.

    Light but powerful
    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.

    You won't beat the price on Amazon in any retail outlet in Ireland.
    Great value for money.
    Bosch are a top brand and l could not get a unit in Ireland in recent weeks. I ordered mine from Amazon and it was delivered within 5 days.

    I have no problem with the product but the delivery was a shambles. The message was it was left with a neighbour. That was an outright lie. It was left on the doorstep in full view of the road and could easily have been stole

    Right for the job
    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.

    Very good value for money. Product is easy to operate and very light.
    Even cuts thicker branches to a certain extend.
    Long cord helps to tackle longer distance or branches higher up.
