Bit of a beast!
Yeah, it’s quite heavy and awkward to use, especially for someone like me with a slight build.
But it sure beats using a ladder and a pair of shears!
I don’t think they could make it any lighter without affecting it’s power, and I wouldn’t want to lose that.
It’s a nice bit of kit, shame I’ll only get to use it a couple of times a year, but great for when I do need it. At least it stores relatively easily.
No battery limitatio
This certainly performs as advertised, is lightweight, flexible and powerful enough for all hedge trimming done so far.
Brilliant hedge trimme
Brilliant trimmer,easy too use and does a brilliant job just a bit heavy when fully extended,would highly recommend
Good Bit of Ki
My neighbour has a large hedge that was overhanging my property and my car. Normally, he would cut it back himself but, unfortunately he is not well enough to do it anymore. I have trimmed it using shears but it is large and quite high (8ft plus). I bought this trimmer for the long reach and after checking the reviews. Firstly, it is quite heavy as some of the reviews state, so my 5’1″ wife probably struggle with it. Some reviewers said the harness does not help but I found if you loop yourself into it and pull it tight, it did take a lot of the weight. It has a strong cutter and went through some thick branches easily. I actually enjoyed using it and it was a great deal easier than using shears. The instructions could have been a little clearer, particular on the harness but I went on-line and checked some images. Apart from that very happy.
Did the job
Bought to trim a couple of olive trees in my small front garden that had gone a bit feral. Did the job but it is heavy and it struggled with some of the thickest branches. Overall though pretty good.
A bit heavy for an 86 year old! @
OK but heavier than anticipated, does a good job but have to use it for short periods at a time. My fault for growing old
A good purchase
The head could do with more angles, but otherwise a good produc
Works well but a bit cumbersome.
Works well but it is not lightweight! Can be difficult to reach the trigger in some situations while trying to get cutter weight balanced.
Great item
Good item for hedges/trees with height. Although it’s a little bit heavy but manageable
It has got good power and cutting speed.
Cutting my high hawthorn tree and laurel hedge.Its brilliant much more powerful than my previous cordless model makes short work of everything.
A Good Hegde trime
My husband found it was a
Light weighted Hegde trimer
And easy to handle very pleased with the Hegde trime
Versatility
Very versatile. Used for cutting hedges and fir tree. Good all round product.
Extends so easy.
All the extendable headgetrimmers I have had or borrowed before have set lengths to extend the cutters. With this headgetrimmer it can be done in extremely tiny amounts, this reducing the “weight” impact of the device. One of my better buys.

Paid for itself in a day!
Arrived very quickly , well packaged , very easy to set up , and although a little heavier than I thought it would be , it made the job so much easier , was able to do Conifers at speed , and paid for itself on first run !

Very heavy when extended
I ordered this because it was described as lightweight. I put it together without the strap and extended it. It is very difficult to control. I will try with the shoulder strap and see how it feels. I am an ex rugby union front row player at 64 years of age just. If it’s difficult for me BEWARE.
I will update when I have tried the shoulder strap.

easy to use
I had a large overgrowned ivy from the park coming into our passage. The council did not do anything so I got this hedge cutter. It was all done in less than an hour. It was a lot better item than expected. Well worth the money. ( Read the manual, the extention is in the handle.) Thanks very pleased.
This a quality, well-priced product that is well worth the money
For prolonged use, especially when at or nearing full pole extension, it can feel heavy, but this will be the case for any trimmers or cutters. It cuts well, although I would always only cut branches up to 10mm in diameter just to save on wear and tear. Loppers are better for anything thicker. One important thing to be aware of is that the trimmer cannot be used without the pole extension in place so you must be standing at least a pole’s length from the branches that need cutting. The external electrical cable is not detachable and is connected all the way through the pole housing to a socket at the end of the pole where it slots into the trimmer section. I found the harness of very limited use. The electric motor is fairly powerful compared to other electrical trimmers I looked at. I preferred buying this over a fuel powered model (too smelly) or a rechargeable model (limited power). All in all I would certainly recommend this item to anyone who has tall hedges, including privet, beech and leylandii.
Easy to assemble and use.
Easily adjustable head makes cutting a tall hedge easy without having to use a ladder or keep moving it.
An excellent purchase.
When extended weight balance is not very good
Overall does the job intended well but when extended the weight balance is not as good as it could be. After a while the person doing the extended trimming needs to rest. —- too heavy when extended.
Not bad
This is a tidy for the price and does a decent job. Used it twice now and I’m happy enough. A little heavy when at full length but still manageable
Might take up tree surgery
Found easy to use and great length once extended. I enjoyed it that much I thought I was Edward scissor hands and I turned my bush into a T-Rex which was good as my house mate loves Jurassic park

Works well. Trimmed the bush beautifully
Liked how easily it cut through the bush.
It’s not too heavy and belt is a good support.
Reaches the top of the bush
Effective but needs strength
I bought this to deal with a cypress leylandii that has reached eves height. It is more powerful than the equivalent battery-operated version and cuts more deeply. That said it is no more easy to wield and at full extension requires really powerful shoulders! However the safety switch operates efficiently and the device is well made and sturdy. I won’t use it often as the battery powered version is more versatile but if you have really dense hedging to trim this would make a good addition to your toolkit.
It is a good buy
Reaches where I wanted, slightly on the heavy side but manageable
The weight when used at height and 90° is a muscle builder.
The kit does its job no problems.
Just be aware of the weight when extended and at 45 or 90 – but that’s the laws of physics. It has done the job I bought it for.
Good
Very easy to use compared with the mechanical hedge trimmers .Very pleased with my purchase
It cuts hedges
Other than being a lot heavier than I expected it’s fine and cuts very well
Really good piece of kit.
Great and easy to use in garden. Makes bush trimming a dawdle.
Good value
Good value for the price. A bit cumbersome to use as the weight is all at the top of the pole. But I think that would be the same with all products of this type

Excellent for the price.
Easy to assemble and use. Bit heavy when you have to stretch.
Hedge trimme
Easy to use piece of kit, light enough to use for 45 mins or so. Struggles with thicker hedging but v pleased with it. Achieved pretty much what I wanted it to.

Heavy but does the job very well.
This is a very good product. It is heavier than I expected but I assume all of these would be. I was having to stretch to reach difficult branches so you need to have strong arms (which I don’t!).
Easy to use
Great item I thought it was going to be hard to use as I’m small,but it was easy once I figured it out how to change the length of the pole.great item
Easy to use
Heavy to use but that might be down to me having weak and painful shoulders does the job fantastically. So easy to use
Functions well, but very heavy to hold for me, I can’t use for more than half an hour.
Happy with function, but is very heavy to hold and use for older people.
Bought as a gift no feedback yet !
Bought as a gift have not had feedback from recipient ye
Great piece of ki
Honestly wish I had bought this years ago, made trimming the large hedges a piece of cake! Its light weight for what it is, but when fully extended it is still quite the weight.

Great Size
Now I Would Like To Let People Know This Is A Great Hegde Trimmer Great Size Not Lightweight It Is A Bit Heavy But Still Good Now If You Have Seen The Pictures It Is In Two-Part’s But Really Easy To Put Together But Should Only Buy It If You Have A Big Hegde And Not A Small Hedge I Got It Cause I Have Some Older Neighbour Who Have Let There Hedge’s Grow Up To Six To Seven Foot Which This Is Good For Not For A Small Hegde Like Four To Fix Foot Now Unlike Some Reviews Out There This A Real Review Not What You Have Seen About People Posting Fake Reviews On This Site With A Programm Coming Out On Tuesday Talking About The Company And Fake Reviews
_
A good product. My only criticism is that the shoulder strap hooks are flimsy and do not inspire confidence
Hedge trimme
Only used this trimmer once for my last cut of the season. It cuts well and reaches the tops of my privets, which i had to use a pair of stepladders to do before. However its quite heavy in the extended mod; and once i have done the tops i have to revert back to my old small trimmer to cut the reachable sections.
This appeared to represent the best value of the Trimmers I looked at with a suitable extension length and electric cord. Delivery was quicker than expected due to confusing messages. The User Manual refers to a supplied “Hex Key” and see Figure 2. (Key not found). Manual is comprehensive and helpful. I chose “lightweight” and would struggle with heavier ones. Harness helps. Cutting action good and angle options excellent. When fully extended I was comfortable in use, but mindful of the care needed. I found taking regular breaks for a few minutes to review what I had done and rest helpful.
Easy to use hedge cutte
Bought this for my Dad for his birthday. He is very happy with it,and has been able to cut his bushes in his garden much easier.
Reasonably priced, easy to use.
It does exactly what you would expect it to do. It’s easy to set up, easy to change the angle and easy to use too. Yes it does get a bit heavy, but then again, anything that you are having to hold like this will feel heavy after a while. I cut my hedge, a 3 meter high 30 meter long and 2 meters deep copper birch over a day, with regular breaks to clean up and rest my arms. Last year I paid someone 100 to do it for me. I think buying this was worth the money. Plus I got a great feeling of accomplishment doing it myself

good strong machine
excellent value for money- does what it says on the tin. would recommend
Reaches the parts that others cant... lol 😉
Great product. Exactly what i required to cut my hedging and bushes. Its not as lightweight as you might think though. At full extension its pretty heavy on the arms and wrist to keep level. Otherwise, great tool.
good
its good I cut tops of trees to stop them getting to high
Does the job
Does the job, easy to assemble. Only problem it gets heavy after a few mins use. Handy with the strap.
Useful Addition to Garden Tools
Very useful for trimming high hedges without having to use ladders. The customer service was outstanding. For a person with full use of their hands there would be no problem but my personal condition meant it was not so easy but this was not the fault of the product. Very pleased with the product and the service.
Easier to use than expected.
I had to trim a large shrub which it did with ease.
Excellent value for money
Lightweight very quiet motor and efficient blades ideal for tall hedges with multi positions for cutting head
These hedge trimmers are always hard to use and you have to use the strap and wedge the pole against your thigh to get it balanced. It’s heavy but no heavier than others I’ve used and once you find the right position it works well. It cuts better than my old one (probably sharper) and the angle adjusts more easily so, so far, pretty good. however, I really wouldn’t buy one of these if your back is weak and you’re a bit of a couch potato!
It's ok for the money
I tried this on my high and wide hedges.
It was a bit more fiddly than the last hedge trimmer but after a few adjustments to cut the hedges, it’s ok.

Useful and does the job
Good product. Easy to use & extendable pole and angle makes it versatile. Heavier than I realised it would be but still able to use easily. Pleased with purchase.
Nice trimmer!
Lighter than my previous trimmer when extended horizontally, longer reach and longer cable. Not actually used yet! Cable enters handle in sensible position and not on bottom when stood upright on handle. Looking forward to using but my previous trimmer broke down having trimmed all my hedges! Arrived 5 days early!
I was nearly put off by other reviews saying it was way too heavy but to be honest I found it about right for the size of trimmer, if you expect an electric motor and drive and all to be light weight then you will be looking for a long time.
Easy to assemble, easy to extend and lock in the extended length and the cutters turn by the push of a button, does what it says on the tin as they say.
Quality is good and quite robust, I would recommend it.
Futura Hedge Cutte
It is very good at cutting but very unwieldy when fully extended wearing the shoulder strap, as quite heavy.
However, does the job!
Got this for the high hedges and bushes around our garden, seems to cut through everything but some of the thickest branches with ease. Adjusting the reach is pretty quick and easy, however mind your fingers, if you hold it wrongly when you do adjust it I could see a potential for trapped fingers if the head of the device slams down. Assembly out of the box was quite straight forwards too. One complaint about this is the strap which while it does help support the weight and help with control can be awkward to adjust and does tend to get in the way a bit- nice thought but poorly executed. If you do get one of these you will also need some long handle loppers for tackling thicker branches. Also recommend getting a decent extension cable, the cable supplied isn’t really long enough for most gardens.
wieght should be in bolder print on web site
ihe unite is rather heavy and can become tireing for the older person ie pensione
extra long
its extra long just what we needed, however it is rather heavy, could not use for too long a time due to weigh
Good value for money
Great bit of kit, ideal for our needs arrived on time easy to use sturdy and good value for money
Contortionist.
The only way I found I could use this was to tape up the switch. Its not good to have a black cord. Cut it within half an hour!
Ok But!!!
Bought this as I have a tall hedge and am fed up of all the clippings landing in every crevice, it’s easy to assemble and an added bonus is it extends even longer.
My only gripes are it gets heavy on the cutting end.
I know that as a safety feature they have to have a cut off, but this model could do with a switch on stay on mode as it does hinder the user having to keep the trigger depressed.

Good piece of kit if a bit heavy.
This is a good piece of kit. Pretty heavy and arms and back suffering now, but no pain without gain and this did the job. Shame it can only be used as a long piece, it would be good to be able to use it without the extension pole. Overall, very pleased.
Well made
Only tried it out on a small area,as the weather stopped me from continuing…but feels a well balanced tool, impressive in it’s look,not sure if it’s robust enough to get through the toughest tasks but is perfect for the occasional cutting of my neighbors hedge???
The trimmers are great to reach our tall hedge the only problems is that I thought it could be reduced to a hand held size so it would be easy to dismantle it to cut the lower part of the hedge. It’s awkward using the long handle to cut the lower half so thinking of buying an smaller trimmer which defeated the object of getting this one.

Extending hedge trimme
Works well considering its cost, not overly heavy, will probably be easier once I’m used to it.
I found this trimmer easy to assemble, with a nice long mains lead. I’ve used it on hedges and small trees, and its worked fine. Yes it is heavy to hold, but then all makes and types of this style of extending trimmer are heavy, after all they have a big motor at the end of a long pole! I tried putting the support strap around my body to take the weight, but found it more of a hindrance than help, restricting my movement. Just holding the strap and pole in one hand, whilst operating the trigger in the other, worked best for me. Its quick and simple to adjust the angle of the cutting blade making it a versatile machine. I find giving my arms a bit of a rest every ten minutes is the best way to work. The whole machine seems well made and cuts small branches if you don’t exceed the recommended thickness. The long reach when the pole is fully extended is a huge help, but obviously at its full extent is when the most effort and strength in your arms is required. Not for the weak or fragile gardener, but I’ve found it a big help and great value.
Good tool
Look a very useful cutter although heavier than I expected.
TRIM THAT HEDGE
WAS GETTING FRUSTATED WITH SO CALLED “TREE SURGEONS” SO PURCHASED THIS TRIMMER, EXCELLENT, HAVE 15 OR SO CONIFERS , SO GONNA SAVE MONEY IN THE LONG RUN AND ACTUALLY GET THE TREES CUT “ON Time”

Good value for money
Used the product to cut 3.5m+ hedge in the rear garden, have not had a chance to use for the tops yet.
Flexibility
It has been a revelation and is well worth having.
Great value for money
Great product for the price. The motor being at the end can sometimes cause serious arm ache but the product itself is great. So far I have cut back both laurel and conifers and the hedge trimmer has not faltered.

Would Highly Recommend.
My Husband loves this product, he said it is great for trimming our Conifer Trees, he said it is a bit Heavy to hold, but it as got a strap youattach to the cutter then put over your shoulder, it really helps carry the weight. Very good value for the money.
Would Highly Recommend.
Does the job well
Really sharp but quite heavy to hold above head for long
design faul
he trimmer is solidly built and easy to adjust ,however , I was surprised that it was fitted with a black power cable, for safety reason the vast majority of garden tools are fitted with a “hi viz” cable . You include with the tool a comprehensive booklet on safety practices but have overlooked the cause of probably the most common accident of damaging the cable . Your response would be appreciated
Take rests on big jobs
If you’re dealing with a large hedge/ bush as I had to then your arms will ache after a while.

The cutting head is heavy when fully extended
It’s true that the motor head is certainy not light and when fully extended is difficult to maneuovre. However as an ex-flag bearer I found the best way was to fasten the shoulder strap into the same hole near the pistol grip and not as directed, put it over your shoulder/head and then lift the cutter head in the air and place the pistol grip firmly in the groin (as you do when raising/lowering a flag) then you are relieved of the weight and can concentrate on controlling the cutting head.
It does make the job of cutting a twelve foot high dense Leylandii hedge a whole lot easier but you need to be quite strong to use it.

Easy gardening from now o
Heavier than what I expected but still manageable. Does an awesome job.
I looked at many of these extending hedgecutters, picked this as it was the lightest. It is still heavy to use, obviously a pole with a hedgecutter on top is quite difficult to hold up in the air, even with the shoulder strap. It cuts well so I’m happy with it and my arm muscles are getting bigger. Amazon had a price 25 less than other sites I looked at so that is a bonus!
Tricky to break down once used
Hedge trimming cuts well a tad heavy if your old
We have a long, driveway with a high hedge, too steep for any type of ladder.
Three options……….
Pay tree fellers two hundred pounds to trim it,
Have an unruly, wild hedge,
Or….
Purchase a tall hedge trimmer,
I went for the third option
It works great, is very versatile regards height and cutting angle.
The only downside is after using it for a while, it gets very heavy
Not really for the elderly or petite, that of course is my own, personal opinion!
But I am very pleased with it’s performance,
and it was a lot cheaper than paying other people to trim it for me, which I have done in the past…..never again
Should have bought one years ago
Amazing
Absolutely amazing the only problem is that it is quite heavy but for the what it does I can’t complain especially the length it gets to.
Terratek hedge trimmer.
Very good hedgecutter used it today and was very pleased with it thanks .
This item does the job well as I have hedges and small trees in my garden ,I am very pleased with my purchase and recommend this item.
After a hiccup with amazon distribution process which was sort quickly and efficiently after i escalated, hedge cutter has been extremely useful, allowing cutting without standing on ladder. For price its a great product to the extent friend also purchased one
