I was given an old hedge trimmer and used it until it could not stand the usage at which point I hunted for another, just the same. It is not as heavy as some hedge trimmers that I have borrowed in the past and it does the job as needed; I will probably try and get another of these when this one dies on me, hopefully not for a few years though.
Cut my hedge in no time and was just the job.excellent more power than my battery operated one but you have to be carefull not to cut through the mains lead.
Never used one before. Relieved to see even someone as tiny as me can handle it. Won’t help with stumps and branches, but great with offshoots. Great that you need to keep both red buttons pressed for it to work. Nice, large handle. Decent size cable.

This is my second Bosch AHS 45-16 I loved the first one and used it for seven years on my two hedges. I caught the wire on something and cut it quite badly and knew it was to bad to try repairing and after seven years of excellent use I certainly couldn’t complain. When I looked for a new one I was tempted by another make that was cheaper, big mistake, and I returned to the one I know and have always been happy with. I am as impressed with this one as ever and I am really fussy about my hedge. This one, like the previous one, does an excellent job and is lightweight and easy to use and my hedges are back to looking very good indeed.
The baby of the line-up. Very small and lightweight. Underpowered though, so for those want to cut more than light bushes, go for the bigger more powerful models.
So far I have only used this once but am very pleased with it. It is quite lightweight and trims the hedge exceptionally well. Very happy with my purchase..

I was dubious when I ordered it but I didn’t need to be, it’s great. I’m 68 and I managed to use it easily. Really made cutting hedges so easy. It’s lightweight and safety features are really good
I re-ordered this as I went through the wire on the last one!!! survived to tell the tale and didn’t realise it has a safety feature that covers that issue!!! lightweight as I’m a woman and strong enough to go through fairly thick branches, happy with the purchase once again.
makes swift work of hedges and bushes. Easy to hold and shape. Size of teeth and power means that quite thick (approx 8mm) stems can easily be cut.
Great product and Super value.
As other reviewers have said, the potential for cutting the cable on this model is pretty high. Need to wrap the cord around your wrist or hand before pressing the trigger. This solves the issue but need to learn the habit.
Cuts though a pretty thick hedge with ease
Seems to be a good trimmer but not happy with the condition I received it in. If this had been a gift for someone I would not have been able to give it with the condition of the box. Also very disappointed with the flimsy cover for the blades that comes with it. As you can see from the pictures it is very inadequate and would have expected better from a brand like BORSCH. It has a slit along the entire length that both ends are open. I actually took the cover from my old flymo hedge trimmer which has a solid cover which screws the cover into place. Luckily it’s fits and screws in place on this trimmer too.
Seems well built and not too heavy, I would rather the battery one if I had more readies as the cord is in the way
These two items were never opened as they are no longer needed.
Unfortunately my wife did not know I had ordered these and went out a bought a new one for me on the same day as
these arrived.
Very powerful and quite lightweight.. brilliant to use when doing your zorro impression on the hedges and trees…very reliable and sturdy piece of kit!!.
Bought this item to replace another brand and this is much better. It is light and provides a nice clean cut . My hedges look like they have been cut by a professional!!!
Great tool. Works well but maybe a cordless would be advisable.
Good tool, only use for light shrub work and light hedges, but would not try to cut thick branches with it. Did an excellent job and easy and light to use. As recommended by other reviewers, I also spray the blades with oil to make sure that they keep well. I would recommend putting ear protectors on, although not loud, it would still damage hearing if used for a period of time. Happy with them and do all I need to do.
The AHS 45-16 is good, when used within its limitations. It is not a chainsaw, it is a trimmer, so if you try to use it to cut thick branches, guess what, it’s going to get stuck and come up short. To trim larger bushes it is great, it’s quick and relatively easy to handle, the safety switch configuration works well.
My only complaint of this type of item is that there is always a chance of nicking the power cable and manufacturers really need to give some thought to safe cable routing and around the operator. I tend to sling the cable over my shoulder, but there must be a better way of doing this and I feel that the manufacturers of such items should give this some thought and this isn’t a unique problem to the AHS 45-16, but something you become acutely aware of when using the item.
Good little trimmer although the cord can get on your gentleman’s area after a while.
Secateurs = hours + blisters
This baby = 10 minutes of mwahahaha mayhem.
It’s a power tool
It saved my hands getting blistered using secateurs
It’s a power tool
What else needs said?
Very easy to use for a female as it is lighter than some models but still the blade is long enough to get a job done fast. Saves arms from getting tired and makes the job a whole lot faster than manual tools. A life saver when the garden becomes overwhelming at times.
Good quality for the price. I bought it for the wife, haha. She did all of our 1000 feet of hedge, except about 6 feet that I did! It still works like new.
Good size and weight for small gardens but could have done with a longer power lead.
Very slightly heavy for me (75 years!) nevertheless a very good produc
Works really well. Bought for son. Unfortunately he cut through the wire on day two. Still, like father like son. Husband cut grass probably 5th time in 19 years and cut straight through brand new lawn mower wire. At least no-one was electrocuted.
Perfect cut my hedge safely and did a great job . I should perhaps have looked at the blade length for extra reach but not a big problem just had to adjust ladders more .
works well. The trigger needs to be held tightly to keep it running. Made a nice job of my pyracantha hedge
Have not used cutter yet.Delivery as stated and on time, Item looks good value for money
Nice little kit for any DIY at home. Not really durable enough for work.
The hedge trimmer is lightweight and performs well. On the negative side the action required to operate it is not as easy as my old Qualcast trimmer.
This is the best hedge cutter i have had very sharp quick and light weight. I have 60ft of Conifers at each side of my garden, and got thought them in no time. Very good
This hedge cutter is a replacement for mu bosch hedge cutter that has served me well.
This new model is doing an equally good job, I’m very pleased with performance, it’s a bit lighter and safer to operate.
I feel for the low price if I get a couple of seasons use then it will have paid for itself.
This managed to get through all my garden bushes with no bother. Easy to use and lightweight.
As soon as the hedge cutter arrived with his compact sturdy box, I’ve plugged it in and I faced the first problem.
The cord is too short (around 10m I’d say).
I was nicely surprised about the plastic cover that keeps the blade safe when the trimmer is not in use.
After retrieving a cable reel I was good to go. Some plants are cut like butter, but if they hide some thicker branches, you’ll feel it!
I’d say the 16mm thick ones are really the limit.
Lots of vibrations coming from the motor and once you’ll turn it off, you really will have a strange feeling in your hands.
Even if it’s a 420w motor, it’s still quite quiet (on the box it says 92dB), and with a 2.5kg weight it’s alright for shorts jobs.
You need 2 hands to start cutting; one holding the pad under the handle, and the other pushing the pad at the base of the blade.
I’d say it’s well balanced.
Do wear gloves when using it and some glasses for protection!
I always prefer to buy products with a good brand reputation and so when it comes to gardening equipment, especially electrical goods I seem to stick with Bosch. They are extremley reliable, do the job perfectly and the quality is always excellent.
Does the job for occasional use. Cord is bit short so requires use of extension.
On arrival box was bit worse for wear but but product well protected inside.
Well balanced but a little heavy for the average woman to use for extended periods. Cuts well although may need two or three strokes to get a regular surface.
It works great looks great does the job and saves me, not please note my husband time.
Recently purchased this hedge trimmer and found it really suitable for purpose. Good length of cutter blade and not to heavy to use at shoulder height.
I’ve used this hedge cutter on some quite seriously thick hedges and it sliced through like a hot knife through butter. It’s not too long, so is easy to handle, lightweight and powerful. I did consider a hedge trimmer with a longer cutting blade, but settled on this 450mm one, to keep it relatively easy to handle.
Seems to be constructed from decent materials, so hopefully will last too.
And at this price, it’s a bargain.
Recommended.
This is an excellent hedge trimmer, very light but with a long blade for easy trimming. It is more powerful than I thought, battery lasts a long time between charges. I can cut hedges in front garden, top and both sides, plus rear garden hedges, inll around 80 feet.
Purchased for a lightweight trimmer for my wife for small hedges and perfect size and weight for the job. First one came with a scuff on the cable and she could see the blue wire showing immediately on opening so filled the return form in within an hour and a replacement came the very next day.. extremely good system and service.. The second one also came with a rough scuff on the cable in one place similar to the original but not exposing the inner wires so accepted it. It appears a problem in manufacture.
Works and cuts OK. Needs quite a but of pressure on top handle trigger which makes my hand/fingers ache after a short while
Would recommend this cutte
Bought for my husband as it seemed to take him ages to cut the hedge with shears. He found it so easy to use and did the job miles quicker, dont think the shears will see the light of day anytime soon!! Great product highly recommended.
Based on first use, this does what itsays on the box. It tackles anything up to half an inch thick with ease and is light andeasy to use. The only CONS are:
The cord is acouple of metres too short
the cutting blade sheath is very cheap and feeble, it cracked the very first time I used it.
Otherwise, a great product!
Light, well balanced and gives confidence in operating. Of course the bigger stuff requires loppers or saw.
As it is mains electricity powered an RCD might come with it though anyone who is a disciple of Old Mother Common Sense will have at least one RCD already.
Turned an afternoons hard work into 30 minutes of “I HAVE THE POWER!” fun. This cuts through ivy, hedging and even thin branches like butter. It took me longer to clean up afterwards than it did to cut. Bosch is a quality manufacturer so hopefully it’ll last well.
Good hedge trimmer. Bought as I am having physio on an injured shoulder and my Ryobi petrol trimmer is too heavy at present. Impressed by how light the Bosch is and it is powerful – doing the job just as well as my petrol trimmer. Need to watch the cable though – not cut through it YET!
For the money this is great value.
My only gripe is the cable really is very short. So short in fact, that with an extension lead at the bottom, you can barely get to the top of a step ladder without running out of length. A couple more metres would’ve made this 5 stars.
Bought this and it is very good for doing the hedges. Mind you I did cut through the lead the first time so be careful. Make sure you use a circuit breaker. I now have a garner so I am sure he will use i
I had a G-tech cordless trimmer for years but it was expensive to buy the battery replacements and not very effective at cutting some thicker hedges. This is amazing. It made light work of my hedge and saved me at least an hour. For the money, this is a great piece of kit. Really cannot fault it.
I ordered this as the one my husband always used was too heavy for me. This has, so far, proved to be a good purchase. It’s small enough and light enough for me to use and cuts well. I would recommend this to any females who are struggling to trim hedges and shrubs.
Bought this wee hedgecutter as our other one was a bit on the heavy side and took ages to cut our hedges . Nice little hedge cutter and it cuts the hedges in no time at all . Hopefully it lasts for quite some time as it is the first Bosch hedgecutter I have ever owned but the price was quite good and not to be missed.
I’d bought a Bosch lawn mower and it was the best I’ve ever owned, so I went for the name and haven’t been disappointed so far. Light weight, safe and simple to use. The flex could have been a little longer though.
I had a very similar model to this which lasted over 10 years of infrequent use and finally gave up the ghost probably due to a bit of mistreatment by me. So I bought this off amazon. It’s perfectly fine for a large/medium sized urban garden. We have lots of quite mature shrubs/bushes as well, of course, as a hedge. Cuts them fine. The only thing I did, as soon as it came, was to attach the old power cord onto the new one to make it longer…as my garden is long. you can obviously use an extension lead. So it cuts hedges and it’s made by bosch…Bosch hedgecutter; does the job
Bought this to tackle a very overgrown (and fence panel destroying!) 20 foot run of ivy, this little beauty handled it with ease and from start to finish was around 15 min job (then a couple of days to pick the stuff up)
Not too noisy, comfortable to hold and easily munched its way through even some of the 1″ branches.
Be warned you will be looking for stuff to cut once you have used this, simple – very effective and of course being a Bosch well designed.
However, like a cock, I cut through the lead by accident (I had thought I was being ultra careful). Brillantly though, the accident did not cause my death as the safety features worked (as I would have dreamed) and spared me from a shocking, burned-dog-hair-smelling demise.
What a wonderful world we live in where manufacturers plan for the totally idiocy of their customers and spare their children the pain of having to attend their, admittedly moronic, father’s funeral.
I bought this hedgecutter after burning out the last two supposedly good cutters. Dont listen to any negative feedback, as anybody thats got a problem with this cutter needs a lobotomy, This is without a doubt the best tool iv used. its light,and easy to use, the cutting is exceptional and neat. Iv cut leilandi which is approx 70 feet in lengh, and 12 feet high,and it made mincemeat of it all, a great piece of kit, without doubt!
Cannot rate this high enough. This product is excellent quality and did what it say’s on the tin. I was actually surprised at how efficient and good the item did the job and providing you look after it, it should give years of good service. In fact the one I bought was for my son, but I am now going to place an order for one for myself. 10/10
This hedge trimmer arrived so quickly, impressive from the get go!It was easy to use, not too heavy. a great quality product for a reasonable price.
My son managed to clear the overgrown hedges within an hour, about 30ft in length!gardening can be hard work, but with this tool it made the gardening experience less of a chore and more of an enjoyable experience. I loved it! so did my family after helping clear up my over grown mammoth of a garden! I recommend this hedge trimmer to any one that has a challenge on their hands in their garden.
The hedge cutter is excellent, the cable is longer than most other makes, the blade is long so you can reach in awkward places and it cuts very well. The only downside is that if you are cutting a hedge higher than shoulder height it can feel a bit heavy, especially if being used by a female. Men probably wouldn’t find it too heavy though. Would definitely recommend.
This product was exactly as described. It is light and perfect for most domestic tasks within easy reach of an appropriate socket outlet. For more versatility or power, get a petrol cutter, but be prepared for the additional weight, cost and maintenance implications. Good product, as usual for Bosch, although last year we bought the very small Bosch rechargeable unit which was dreadful.
In the past I have bought tools from Bosch; i.e, sander, lawn mowers, eg; so buying this Hedge-cutter as met all expectations, cutting through good size branches without blinking an eye. Power-full, lightweight and easy to use.. Down side is the wire length. Not long enough hence I cut through it accidentally so I put on 20mtrs… well worth the money
It is what it is, it’s a hedgertrimmer alright.
It cuts hedges straight if your sober and it cuts it realy alright.
If you like it wonky or wavey have a beer or two
Be careful of the cable don’t cut it through
Bish BOSCH and the job is done,
Now I can see my nieghbour on the otherside of the hedge,
She says she want her bush trimmed but not with this tool I said 🙂
Although I can’t compare this hedge trimmer with any others, as it’s the only trimmer I’ve ever owned, it does exactly what it is designed to do. It does it well too.
It’s light enough for most potential users and it certainly made a good job of our hedges. There’s sufficient cable for most gardens, but we did use an extension lead (quite a big garden).
I wouldn’t hesitate recommending this product.
I live on my own and wanted to trim shrubs in my garden, but wanted an easy and inexpensive hedge trimmer I read several reviews on Amazon and the Bosch hedge cutter seemed to fit the bill…It does. Easy for a woman to use ,light weight and does the job. The only negative is that the lead is not long enough, so you will need a long extension.
Even ‘amateur gardener’ would be overstating my skills and gardening ambition, but I did have some hedges overhanging either side of my garden that needed trimming back.
I’ve always trust Bosch merchandise in the past and bought this over some cheaper unbranded models. It’s lightweight and hasn’t failed to trim anything I’ve thrown at it.
although purchased this last year the hedgecutter has not been used. i am giving it a 5 star only because i have never been let down with Bosch. it was purchased late in the year so the time for hedge cutting was over. However, i can only hope that my husband has many years of use from it. i will update this review if necessary in the summer.
Being a female, hedgecutters can be pretty heavy (for me!) and awkward to use. These are light, powerful and blew me away with their performance of 10 conifers, making light work of what would have taken me twice as long with my last hedgecutters (also a well known make).
Products improve over the years (well they should do!) and for me, this product is well worthy of five stars and more.
Can’t fault it, if it lasts as long as my last one, I shall be very satisfied!
