ight tool for the right job, at the right money
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.

This is a great little hedge cutter – I use it to remove the neighbours annoying greenery which grows at a regular pace over our fence. Been using some shears as I was worried I wouldn’t be able to cut through the branches of the greenery but this thing did it like a hot knife through butter. Its a large item so you need to be confident in manouevering it – but its fairly light so suitable for all

I bought the Bosch AHS 45-16 Electric Hedge Cutter to speed up the gardening especially when it comes to trimming some of the larger bushes in our garden.
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.

Bloody good trimme
Good little trimmer although the cord can get on your gentleman’s area after a while.
Bought these to cut the neighbours ivy as it was creeping over the top of the boundary wall.
Secateurs = hours + blisters
This baby = 10 minutes of mwahahaha mayhem.
It’s a power tool
It saved my hands getting blistered using secateurs

Just as described
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.
Wife loves i
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.
I needed a new hedge trimmer to cut back invasive climbers that had grown over a high fence. It’s light enough to reach and cut through all of it quickly. I’ve had a trimmer before which needs 2 hands on the handle and the trigger so I find it gives more control. I also will be getting it back out next spring, before the birds take up residence, to cut back my pyracantha. It needs something tough and this will do the job. I chose a cabled trimmer as I find the battery ones lose power quickly and I’m really slow. Just keep control of the cable!

OK for general use
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
Good well worth i
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.
Did the job grea
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 .
Not too heavy, it appears to do a good job at a fair price. I heeded the warning to keep the blades well lubricated and sprayed them carefully before and after use. they worked very well. They are lighter and quieter than the petrol cutter that failed after many years of use.

RCD essential!
Very useful, but I’ve cut the wire twice!
Great hedge trimmers but it’s easy to get carried away and cut your own cord.
Probably why Neil Armstong didn’t take these on the Apollo missions with him.
Good cutte
works well. The trigger needs to be held tightly to keep it running. Made a nice job of my pyracantha hedge
Item looks good value fo
Have not used cutter yet.Delivery as stated and on time, Item looks good value for money
Not yet used. I will review it about April time when I use it. This is the second cutter of this model I have bought as my previous one lasted approximately ten years and was excellent.
Four Stars
Nice little kit for any DIY at home. Not really durable enough for work.
Good lightweight trimmer.
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
New for Old hedge cutte
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.
Had the same ones before and they ate absolutely fantastic! I have a hedge around the front of my house and these work perfectly well to keep it in shape. Just don’t let your younger brother have a go and let him cut the cable! Lol’s!!
Bosch AHS-16; I have used this item only the once and so far all is fine; It is a lot lighter than any hedge trimmer I have previously used, It does not feel powerful but cuts away slowly and gets the job done; I find it quieter than my older trimmers probably due to new generation of motor prohibition rules which is in all our best interest to protect the planet.
I feel for the low price if I get a couple of seasons use then it will have paid for itself.

Does the job and for a great price!
This managed to get through all my garden bushes with no bother. Easy to use and lightweight.
I’m a beginner at this kind of gardening, but in our new garden I needed to do some heavy remodeling after the previous tenant let it go wild.
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!

Love Bosch garden tools
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.
On arrival box was bit worse for wear but but product well protected inside
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.
Good choice for small hedgetrimming
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.
As the title says. Arrived swiftly, quicker than predicted.
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 great value for money. I didn’t expect much for the price and bought it to cut some small bushes so I was surprised when it arrived in a big box. It’s easy to use and I had it for two whole days before my husband got a bit carried away and cut through the cable. Ah well, at least he wasn’t electrocuted – the power tripped and he’ll live to see another day. I’m hoping I can get this fixed as it’s very useful around the house (unlike said husband). If you found this review helpful please give me a like.
Great Hedge Trimme
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.
This has tackled a very tough hedge that had some very thick branches. I have used others before that just broke or blew up. I did have to let it cool down for a bit but now the hedge is under control it will keep it nicely in check. Highly recommended.
great lightweight trimmer.
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.
This hedgecutter is amazing. I was really excited reading the reviews of people saying it will cut through the hedge like a breeze, and boy were they right. I had no problems trimming my bushes, and getting that nice clean look. I was able to cut through pretty thick branches with no force. I have a ton of hedge, bushes, and trees, so really glad I have this new toy to keep my garden looked prim and proper.
Good quality Hedgecutte
Works and cuts OK. Needs quite a but of pressure on top handle trigger which makes my hand/fingers ache after a short while
Very happy with this hedge cutter, we have used it all through the summer and our shrubs look great, best they have been for ages it is easy to keep on top of them.
Would recommend this cutte

This is a great hedge/branch trimmer. Only wish I had gone for the slightly longer blade. Otherwise a perfect solution for trimming your garden. Get the cut off plug, as you may cut through the wire. I did. Very easy to use and the brand is almost a guarantee. fast delivery too with prime.
What a bargain…top product by a top brand. I ordered this and it came a day early, very sturdy and powerful, and I had no idea that it could make such short work of virtually anything it touches. It comes with a sheath protective cover for when not in use and also has a safety grip that must be compressed before you can start the trimmer with its trigger. Surprisingly quiet for such a powerful beast and has made the garden so much easier to manage…I highly recommend this as it has so many uses apart from cutting the hedges…I use it on grass I cant get my mower around, thick weeds, and my bloody neighbours overhanging tree.
Brillia
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.
Does what it says on the 'tin'
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!
Arrived sooner than scheduled and put to use straight away. Cutting our hedge has become a pleasure. The only problem is making sure the cut is in line with the intended finished hedge edge as it is very easy to go deeper than intended.
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.
This is my first purchase of an electric hedge cutter and I love it. It is so easy to use and makes cutting my hedges a doddle. It is lightweight so doesn’t kill your arms and has cut through all my branches swiftly and easily

Easy to use for everyone due to its lightweight operation. It’s a little shorter than our previous trimmer but that hasn’t made too much of a difference. The real boon is in the comfort of handling because it’s so light. Makes life easier, and safer, for those lacking a little in strength. Cuts a treat, but it’s new so should do.
This is a great hedge trimmer, and makes me wonder why i used manual shears for so many years before purchasing this! Borrowed a similar model (same make) from the neighbour (it is a shared hedge so we take turns cutting it), and since then I knew I had to get one. Very pleased with the performance and it feels well made and should last a long time.
A good unit for the money. Makes a boring and tricky job far easier and quicke
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.
Light and Powerful
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!
Superb Hedge Cutter which you would expect from BOSCH .I only have BOSCH tools so i new what I was getting. Any faults looking at it would be perhaps females would find it a little heavy on a wide hedge( I not being sexist) that so far is all I can find
Brambles are scared stiff of this. After a few cuts I could see it shrink back in fear. Hahaha I smirked! Take that and that! Gone was its confident spikey attitude. Nowhere to go but down! It new it was done – cut and dry! Those darned brambles had sat there for years with me cowering. Well near enough. It would not tackle the very thick woody branches but all else gave in quite easily.
For the money this is great value.
For the price this hedge trimmer is good. Easy to use and nice ergonomic handle.
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.
This 500 watt trimmer is the best that I have ever used, and I have used many, trust me! Well balanced and fairly lightweight, it has a really good diamond cut blade that makes mincemeat of hedges. Not the quietist on the planet but powerful. The machine is well balanced and easy to operate and the 500 watt motor will not slow down. A great tool but wear earplugs – it is not much quieter than my JCB petrol trimmer that I am replacing it with!

absolutely fantastic, especially for 34 which is 20 cheaper than B&Q. made light work of my hedges and was very easy to use. My only niggle is the fact that it stops if you don’t press both triggers at the same time which is only a mild pain as you can’t use it one handed which is merely an inconvenience
Bought this and it is very good for doing the hedges
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
Great hedge trimme
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.
proved to be a good purchase. It's small enough and light enough for ...
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.
I got this to replace my old 45cm Black and Decker which died on me. I’d say this one is as good, if not better, for trimming. I also have a Bosch Pro with a 70 cm blade and wider teeth for the tougher cutting back. In comparison with that the smaller machine does seem less well balanced – the larger one has a better front grip which you can hold on the top, left side or right side, which allows you to ‘lift upwards’ easily when cutting up the front of a hedge. I found the 45 rather less easy to manoeuvre as you can only grab the front handle from the top. On the other hand it is much, much lighter. I would recommend this for light to medium work. I found the cable rather short.

Hedge your bets!
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.
Bosch fantastic
I have had this hedge cutter around nine months and the only bad thing I can say about it, is the power cord is too short . I have a tiny garden and I have to use a extension power lead which is very annoying, I did not have to do this with my Flymo hedge cutter. However, it is a very good product and I hope it last longer than my flymo, which lasted 8 long years until I dropped it and it stopped working! Very happy with this purchase even though it is cheaper than the price I paid last year.
It's perfectly fine for a large/medium sized urban garde
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
Can't go wrong with Bosch
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 chose this hedgecutter for 2 reasons. Firstly, I have a fondness for Bosch products as I feel they are good quality and, in my experience, long-lasting. Secondly, having read the reviews, it seemed perfect for my requirements. It’s everything I expected. I was confident that I would be able to use it easily, but asked a friend to try it for me in the first instance, as I felt a little tutorial wouldn’t hurt. After trimming a few shrubs, my friend said the hedgecutter was a delight to use, and not at all heavy. I too, from a female perspective, am happy that it’s not a heavy machine. I also bought the Bosch lubricant on the recommendation of others, and once the trimming was done, I cleaned the cutter and gave it a quick spray of lubricant before putting it away. Delighted !

A pleasure to use!
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.
Used this today for the first time and it worked wonders on a large Leylandii that was growing sideways (having been topped) and assaulting me everytime i went into the garden. It’s now nice and neat 🙂 Be warned though that these are powerful enough to cut through a metal chain link fence, as i found out accidentally, so be careful with it. Tomorrow it will be used to attack the mass of brambles i’ve spotted attempting to invade my garden. I would recommend this to anyone who knows what they’re doing with a hedgetrimmer 🙂
eplacement for older trimme
My old trimmer (same model) was OK until the hand grip kept sticking, making it very dangerous to use. So I’m hoping this one will be better and last longer. I can find no mention of guarantee – is there one? It’s not what I would call lightweight but I knew that because of the old one. But I’d suggest that people with weak arms should think twice before buying this unless they’ve got someone to do the work for them!
I only have limited experience of using these (around 20 minutes all told) but while they were working they were excellent. Made very short work of the leylandii in my garden.
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.
A cut above the res
OK so “A cut above the rest” is a bit of a corny title. It has to be said its true. This Bosch Hedge cutter is just great and I find it hard to criticize its design or capability to do the job it was intended for. I have never owned a electric cutter before, thought I could make a much nicer job of trimming the few bushes I have in my garden. Its fairly light to handle, cuts with ease and used with care very safe. I nearly purchased a much inferior make and even looked at 2nd hand, but with Amazons amazing deals buying new was only a few pounds more. I Would recommend this cutter as I would be surprised if you could get any better results by paying more. A few reviews comment the cable is to short but I found this not to be a problem when using a extension reel. Don’t wait 18 years like me to buy one, buy with Bosch confidence today.
Bosch ahs 45-16 hedgecutte
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!
Highly Recommended
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
Great Hedge trimme
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.
Very impressed but a tad heavy for a female
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.
Light and functional
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.
Cutting censatio
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 a hedgecutte
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 🙂
I subscribe to which ,this is a best buy product Still hedge trimmer being the winner but at a price of over 200 the Bosch suited my budget I have only one hedge.I am a Boschy lover Bosch freezer now 18 years old washing machine, power tools etc you paying a little bit extra for products that do not fall to pieces after short use.The product is nice size good to handle no kick back and smooth action on the blades handy tip if branches over 5mm do not be tempted to use hedge cutter will shorten life of product use cross over loppers.Bosch need I say anymore!.buy it.
Great trimme
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.
Does the job
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.
Great value
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.
I like the product…. not just trimming hedges, I have used to chop arm sized branches as well… and it does it well…… only downside is that I cannot manage to keep on working after 5 minutes as the product is slightly heavy (or I may be weak and need exercise)
Not used this yet.
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.
I purchase many things over the years and this product is 10 out of 10.
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.
I’m very pleased with this hedgecutter. It’s perfect for the small hedges I use it for. I’d avoided buying one for a long time as I wasn’t sure if it would be too heavy but it’s light and easy to manage. It’s reduced the time it took to trim by at least half. I would certainly recommend it for a small garden; I can’t comment on what it would be like for a very high and long expanse of hedging.
An excellent little hedge trimmer. I have had this model before and found that the blades stayed sharp, (important for conifer trimming) and is light enough for prolonged use on large and tall hedges. It does have a shorter blade length than many alternatives, but this not only helps with the weight, but makes it excellent for topiary trimming.
Can’t fault it, if it lasts as long as my last one, I shall be very satisfied!
I bought this item to replace my old Black and Decker cutters, the blades of my old one needed replaced and it was going to cost nearly as much as a new set of cutters so I decided to go for Bosch as I have other Bosch Products. It arrived quite quickly and such a difference, my hedges were cut in no time, so far I am not disappointed with any of my Bosch electrical tools. The price would have been about the same if I had used my over 60’s discount card in B & Q. I would recommend this hedge cutter to anyone.
Purchased to replace a Flymo with a damaged cable, I went for this because it was reviewed as being lightweight; whereas the Flymo’s were all reviewed as being heavy. Used it today up a ladder & it performed well & did not make my arms ache. My 4 star rating would have been 5, but the cable is a tad on the short side – not as long as the Flymo.
Ordered this product on Friday afternoon on fast delivery and as promised arrived ten thirty Saturday morning. I used it straight away and found it to be a very good product nice and light cut through my privet hedge with ease. Easy to use. not to noisy. A very good product would highly recommend this Hedgecutter.
I am really impressed by this hedge trimmer. It truly is light weight and it has coped well with out 8 foot tall, 30 foot long hedge along the side perimeter of our garden, let alone the hedge in our front garden. The only way it could be improved is if it came with a cheery little gardener to work it for you!
