Die Heckenschere ist nicht laut und es strt kein Kabel. Das war fr mich eine .Kaufentscheidung .
Habe den ersten Heckenschnitt vollbracht und zu frieden.
Prix trs intressant pour un remplacement quand on possde dj la batterie et le chargeur. Trs maniable et relativement lger, efficace pour les haies fines branches. Autonomie trs correcte ( deux batteries 2Ah recommandes pour tre trs l’aise)
enfin un taille ai adapt aux petites mains des femmes, lger parfait pour les petites haies
Sehr Handlich, Akku hlt lange durch. Kaufempfehlung fr alle die keinen Kabelsalat wollen.
Ligero y fcil de usar, y la batera dur ms de lo que esperaba.
Hecken und Gehlze zuschneiden, war fr mich immer etwas, das ich als letztes in Angriff genommen habe. Bis immer die Kabel verlegt waren und dann bei sommerlichen Temperaturen dieses schwere Gert umstndlich um die Gehlze bewegt wurde. Sehr oft eine schweitreibende Angelegenheit.
Mit der angeschafften Bosch Akku-Heckenschere nun gar kein Problem mehr. Vorausgesetzt der Akku ist geladen, wenn Man(n) sich mal wieder austoben mchte. Problemlos einsetzbar, handlich, leicht und mit sehr gutem Schnittergebnis. Vorteil ist, dass wir sehr viele Gehlze haben, die zu schneiden sind, denn dann bleibt den anderen Zeit um nachzuwachsen.
Betreibe die Heckenschere mit einem 2,0 Ah Akku. Reicht mir fr ca. 45 Minuten Schnittleistung aus. Und dann kann mal auch eine kurze Getrnkepause nicht schaden, denn nach 30 – 40 Minuten Ladeleistung geht’s weiter.
Bought this product as I have arthritis and needed an easy to use hedge cutter for four foot privet hedge. Light and gives a nice finish to hedge. No more miles of awkward cables. Grea
Drains the battery pretty quickly, but enough power to trim the hedges I have. Very lightweight, but the two-step activation is fiddly at times.
Ist leicht und handlich, fr guten schnitt bei dnnen gestrpp, einfach mal die hecke stutzen nachschneiden ok, junge hecke ok.
Excellent tool didn’t order the battery as already had two for my Bosch drill.
Absolutely fantastic battery life is good and very sturdy highly recommended
Much easier to use than these trimmers with cord.
Very light.
we have a bush in the garden with decent sized branches so i was suspicious , i placed the blades on to the branch gently pressed and ,gawd.a.blimey, it cut through. i do recomend i
Very quick to set up, Charge time 2 hour’s & click-an-go battery. I did my hedge in a fraction of the time, this why writing a review. The product is light and well balanced, plus with no trip hazards with corded. Not forgetting how low the noise. I enjoyed doing my hedge which is 10 meters long nearly 2 meters high. Worth the buy.
Really easy to use, very effective and battery life excellent. As always Bosch quality stands out above all others
I bought this item as I could use my drill’s batteries on it. It’s easy to use. You have to hold down two buttons when operating, which is a good safety feature.
…this is the second Bosch hedge trimmer I’ve had, my last one lasted 10 years! Replaced it with this product and I find it really easy to use. It’s lightweight, cuts well and battery time is excellent. I trimmed three 5ft round conifers that hadn’t been cut for a year and this trimmer was still working 40 minutes later!
As long as you don’t expect it to cut thick branches I would recommend this product for general hedge trimming.
Brilliant piece of equipment, easy to use and the battery life is more than enough for my garde
After cutting through many hedge trimmer cables I have bought this and it is absolutely brilliant. No cables and the battery allows me to do all my hedges on one charge. Excelle
Very good battery life. It was extremely easy to use and lightweight
I’m very pleased with this hedge cutte
I am very happy with this product long battery life and light weigh
We recently moved house to a house with a hedge. We’ve never owned or used electric hedge cutters before. I was a bit wary of corded versions so opted for this cordless model. I was influenced by the fact that I already have other Bosch devices and the batteries are interchangeable, which to me is a significant benefit.
The hedge was out of control. It’s maybe 15 feet across and had grown to about 12 feet high, so I needed to work with a ladder. The cutter is really easy to use and felt very safe. It is light, and not as noisy as my neighbour’s corded machine. We completed the job on just one charge of the 2.5 battery. It dealt with quite thick stems very successfully although the really thick stuff at the core of the hedge needed loppers. Very happy to recommend this item.
Bought the tool only as I use other 18v Bosch tools and share batteries. Great trimmer, very light and surprisingly powerful. Very happy.
Meine Frau wollte diese Heckenschere, weil sie das “Kabelgedns” leid war und ab diesem Jahr unbedingt selber die Hecken schneiden wollte. Und siehe da, es hat ihr Spa gemacht und sie will es weiterhin tun.
Die Heckenschere ist leicht, deshalb kann man diese auch gut mit dem greren Akku nutzen.
Like how easy it is to use and very light. Does the job
Not as powerful as a corded but so handy for a small hedge. Love this little machine. Light and easy to use very happy.
Safety features include two-handed control for stability. Lightweight and manoeuverable, easy to use. Battery lasts well when fully charged.
Used this instead of hand shears to trim a small box hedge. Pleased with the battery life, it did all the hedge, easy to use.
Nice and light, easy to handle and comfortable to use. Lovely cu
It is a little slow,
Hey who needs to rush
It’s a great buy
I’m 62 and I found this hedge strimmer just great no more wires dangling in the way go for i
My neighbour complemented me on how tidy my bushes looked, so I offer to prune hers as well!
This was a good purchase as I have a lot of bushes and a very large hedge to cut back.
Lightweight and so easy to use and no worry as to wether you might cut the cable.
This does not come with a battery or a charger so they have to be purchased separately.
Really good hedge trimmer. I was sceptical at first but soon realised the trimmers potential when i had to remove a significant bamboo plantation in the yard. The trimmer has performed really well and is comparable to the larger more expensive battery systems. Makes easy work of normal hedges and is pretty good when it comes to power consumption.
Only purchased recently and used one. So far, so good! Easy to handle for this 5 ft 3 in, 8 stone lady of 69! Did a small box hedge and a tallish shrub without running out of charge. Very pleased.
Not used as yet but seems to be comfortable to handle.
Habe diese Heckenschere fr wenige Meter Hecke erworben und bin nach dem ersten Schnitt sehr zufrieden! Akkus vom bestehenden Boschgerten passen perfekt. Nach dem ersten Schnitt war mein strkerer Akku nicht einmal annhernd geleert, das finde ich super!
Speziell fr Besitzer von anderen Boschgerten mit 18 V auch ohne Akku eine echte Kaufempfehlung.
Se maneja muy bien y pesa poco,el tema bateras va perfecto imagino que tambin influir como t las cuides ,las mas son nuevas de una taladradora y va genial.
Really better then I expected battery life from new was great I cut 80ft hedge and still had plenty of life left.Vrry sharp would recommend
Light weight and easy to use hedge trimmer. I use it with the 4Ah battery and it goes really well for my weekend / around the garden efforts
I love, love, love the hedge trimmer.
Previously I had to use sheers to trim some plants and it could take days but I did everything and more in just a few hours.
The trimmer was light so easy to keep holding up high and it cut everything it was supposed to cut really well.
This deal was the best price I could find with the closest being $150.
Fortunately I already had a cordless Bosch edge trimmer so I have three batteries that I can interchange and consequently finish a job without waiting to recharge.
Macht was sie soll.
Akku passt zu meinen anderen Gerte
Product is great, however I wanted the battery charger in the photos, it arrived with a different smaller battery charger, we have advised Amazon so hopefully they will update the photos.
I had existing lithium 18V batteries from owning a Bosch cordless drill and cordless jigsaw. These were able to click into this hedge trimmer and fit without a problem. I’ve used the hedger on soft leaf plants without a problem, but haven’t tried on any woody plant hedges.
Really strong for the size and excellent battery life / powe
Make sure battery fully charged before use. Not as powerful and hard wired cutter but the absence of a cable makes life a lot easier. Effective for small hedges and shrubs.
My gardener used it and he said was lightweight and easy to use, cuts well.
Nice light weight but with excellent performance. Worked fine for trimming new growth on my 20 metres of ivy hedge. Older growth needed occasional help from hand shears but overall the convenience and manoeuvrability won out. Recommended for small hedges trimmed 3 or 4 times year and easy storage is a bonus.
Really pleased with this purchase. Nice and light and easy to use. Battery lasted ages and so much safer than having a cable in the way.
An ideal hedge cutter for those who want a lightweight effective hedge trimmer that is easy to use and has good battery life. Not great for those thicker branches but apart from that a great purchase
It is great for the job, Wireless save you a lot of hassle. It can cut through quite thick hedge as well. I had batteries from the drill before, so good price as well. Very good buy.
Did the job of hedge trimming – light and powerful
Good replacement for previous one. Like the fact that battery can be used with other products.
This is an excellent buy. I’ve a laurel hedge with branches well over a cm thick in places. This trimmer managed everything with ease and only took a little bit of focus to trim the thicker, more resilient branches. However, when singling out the larger branches, the blade cut very easily and without ever sticking. 5* product.
Great product. Quick to charge, and the battery can be used in other bosch goods. Although its more expensive than some others on the market, the quality is fantastic and will buy more bosch in future.
Fr nicht zu groe Hecken super. Auf Grund des geringen gewichtes auch fr Frauen geeignet.
Very pleased with my first-ever hedge cutter. Very quiet, really easy to use and does exactly what I needed. Glad I bought it and wish I’d done it sooner.
Well it is German and they still know how to make things – Purchased for neighbour to replace his worn out existing as I already have one and recommended it – He is happy
Great machine, after cutting the cable on my previous one I thought a battery would be better. It is can’t tell difference. Easy to use and not heavy. I have arthritic hands but no problem using this. Would recommend.
I’m so cross with myself that I did not buy one of these years ago. Brilliant. So light and so effective. Took me 40 minutes to trim all my hedges – usually a two hour job at leas
Does what it says. Strong, well made, lightweight but tough. Good hedge cutting tool
Light weight and easy to use, so my wife says.
Light, easy to use. Ideal for short hedges. Stops me putting off the need for regular trims. Battery life more than adequate
The hedge trimmer works well and cuts the hedges in one charge of the battery. Great to be without a cable.
Used for cutting hedges of different varieties including sturdy holly bush and azaleas. It’s great not having to worry about the cable and the charge let me do all hedges and bushes in our front and back garden, so very happy with this purchase.
Marre de mon taille-haie thermique de + de 5kg, je me suis lanc dans la recherche d’un taille-haie fonctionnant sur batterie et disposant dj de plusieurs batteries 18 volts pour mes outils Bosch, ce model rencontrer toutes mes attentes. Il fait le travail comme un grand et ne faibli pas mme aprs 30 min d’intense utilisation. Allez-y….
J’utilise ce taille-haies pour une haie de lierre, sur peu prs 12m de long et entre 1 et 2m de hauteur. Je suis assez grand pour accder facilement aux branches les plus hautes, et la simplicit de manipulation de l’appareil me permet facilement d’accder partout. Il me permet de tout tailler en moins d’une heure ce qui me prenait avant plusieurs heures : un gain de temps considrable. Si comme moi vous avez peu de surface et que vous avez d’autres quipements compatibles avec la batterie, c’est un outil idal.
Excellent choice. Replaced my corded one and makes the job so much easier. Spent 1.5 hours on the first charge and was still going strong. Light and so easy to use. Great value. Perfect!
Brilliant, light, easy to use, long charge time on the battery, 5 stars
Very easy to use. Much lighter and more powerful than the previous pair. Very happy
The trimmer arrived very quickly and fit my existing 18v 1.5ahm battery where it was used with the blower.
Exactly what you would expect from a Bosch product.

Do I love this hedge trimmer or what? Best ever hedge trimmer, literally took less than an hour to trim either side of my conifer hedges both sides of the garden. Very easy to use, cuts through relatively thick stem branches and some dead wood, but not super thick, and will revese action if in contact with them so won’t damage motor. No loss of power during the full use of trimming, even adhoc stuff in the garden such as roses, ornimental grasses and bramble were a breeze to cut down. Very easy to clean using an old tooth brush, and I brush the trimmer blade with chain saw lubricant before and after use which reduces friction during use, and enhances blade life. This has to be the best power tool I’ve bought in a long time, and being battery powered there are no cables to cut through. Even when climbing to the top of my ladder to trim top of conifers I felt really safe using this trimmer, especially as it had been raining the day before and conifers were still wet, but I definitely do not endorse use in wet weather for safety reasons. This bosch hedge trimmer is definitely a 5* purchase and life time investment if looked after! Thank you Amazon and Bosch. Always read the instructions booklet despite reviews.
It just can’t cut soft, pliable leaves or very thick branches. If you know its limitations, it’s like using a butter knife on hedgesl
sorry my mistake the description I saw didn’t say no battery but bare tool, I didn’t know what bare tool was, so was disappointed when I was unable to use it. I didn’t want to cause offence.
I liked everything about. You also asked what did I use it for? Well cutting hedges , strangely enough!
This Bosch hedge cutter replaces an older one that I bought almost 4 years ago. Although that was still working well this one is an upgrade in terms of capability and performance, with a longer cutting blade and a bigger capacity for cutting. The design is very similar in terms of shape which I am very pleased about — it is ideal for cutting from either the left or the right, and the shape makes it easy to hold whilst working. This model is slightly heavier and longer but that hasn’t been an issue as it is still light enough, with a reasonable balance between the blade and the handle. The battery charges easily with the supplied charger and lasts long enough to cut my own hedges, without draining flat. It is also excellent at retaining charge in-between uses so I know that I can pick it up from the shed and use it straight away. I like that the final cutting edges of the blade have a slightly larger cutting capacity than the rest (25mm as opposed to 20mm) so I can tackle some bigger branches and it does a decent job of cutting cleanly. It is supplied with a plastic blade guard which simply slides into place when not in use, and I haven’t found anything that I dislike about this excellent tool.
Very pleased with the product. Cuts easily and gently. Shapes hedges/shrubs easily.
Vorab – keine Powermaschine, was bei Akku ohnehin nicht mglich ist. Ansonsten einwandfrei. Speziell zum Nachstutzen. Funktioniert mit 4 AH Akku ber eine Stunde (Hecke war erledigt und hat immer noch geschnitten). Bin super happy, weil ich das Kabel los bin. 4Ah Akku und Ladegert hab ich bei Bauhaus (in AT) gekauft, weil dort am Billigsten.
I have an older version of this Bosch hedge trimmer and I can confirm that this newer version is great. It is much lighter, the battery is a third of the size and weigh, the battery is quicker to recharge, and the shorter blade length makes it easier to handle.
Like before the safety mechanism means that you have to apply pressure with both your hands in two different places so children are less likely to pick up the hedge trimmer and get it to work.
The battery recharges from the mains. The battery slips easily under the back handle and is so light.
Being a cordless hedge trimmer gives you a great freedom of movement without having to worry about any cable, which was always dangerous for people like me who are not natural gardeners. I try and avoid trimming thicker branches because it is a hedge trimmer and over time this might damage the blades and make the trimming less effective.
Obviously you should read the manual and follow the safety instructions.
A great buy for under 100.
I have an old set of corded hedge trimmers that I inherited from my Dad when he moved house. They work well, but the cord makes them annoying, as I’m constantly having to move it out of the way (something my Dad also had issues with, as the cord has been cut near the trimmers and rejoined with a separate plug).
So here we have a set of cordless trimmers. The battery takes only a short while to charge fully, and the trimmers made short work of the large bush in my garden that needed trimming – slicing through even the thicker branches with ease.
I only wish I’d got this sooner – my old house had loads of hedges and bushes.
Easy to charge, this trimmer cut through branches like a hot knife through butter, making it easy to trim even, tidy surfaces. I particularly appreciated its light weight, as it can be a strain to hold a cutter above shoulder height. The charge lasts for a long time and retains its power, so I would recommend this without reservation.
The description for this model suggests small and young hedges — and the pictures are of a lady trimming an already trimmed hedge with not so much as a twig for the cutter bar to tackle.
It is not that this hedge-cutter will suffice where a petrol-engined professional machine is called for, but — short of that — it will do a lot more than is suggested by the advertising.
Besides the length (and therefore reach) of the cutter bar, the chief limiting factor is the 15mm gap between the teeth. That means you can’t seriously ask it to cut through anything of more than about 12mm (half an inch) diameter.
But the important thing is that it will cut through those. Perhaps not if they are of the hardest and toughest types of wood, but it unhesitatingly cut through anything and everything I asked of it in my hawthorn hedge — which is neither small nor young and had thrown up some moderately ambitious spikes since I last cut it.
My beech hedge — of similar age (38 years) and even bigger — isn’t fully in leaf yet, but I have taken off some of the new growth so the postman doesn’t get drenched on wet days, and those soft, new young leaves were an absolute doddle for it.
I was hoping the battery and charger would be interchangeable with my two Bosch power drills. Unfortunately, the batteries on the drills are 1.5 Ah, whilst this hedge-cutter is 2.0Ah (both are 18 volt), and the shapes of both batteries and chargers are completely different. Never mind; I am sure I will enjoy the even longer working time between re-charges bestowed by the 2Ah.
The warranty is for two years, extendable to three on the Bosch website. Some of the instructions in the handbook will be a bit of a mystery unless you happen to find the relevant diagrams, which are at the back of the book (and actually rather good).
I’ve been wondering about getting a hedge trimmer for some time. The corded ones seem hazardous to me, and I already own a petrol lawn mower, which is good but the petrol is a hastle.
So decided to go cordless, and this is the result. It isn’t anything like as heavy as a petrol specimen I tried, which is a good start. Makes it easier to manipulate, especially overhead.
And most importantly, it cuts well.
My hedge looks much neater. It won’t do the thicker stems (approaching a centimetre in diameter), but that’s OK, I have a set of loppers.
So my garden looks much neater, and my wife is happy.
Result!
I was perplexed how light this was even with the battery fitted when it arrived. In order to operate you need to held down both triggers and it’ll cut through some fairly thick branches and twigs. The first task I gave it was to remove the ivy off my side of the fence which my neighbour has in their garden and it gets over and though my fence blocking access down the side of my greenhouse. What usually takes a couple of hours with a pair of secateurs, took literally 5 minutes!
Cuts through twigs over 1/2 cm thick with ease, only struggled with green brambles that were over a 1cm thick. Battery that was fully charged cutting through all sorts of garden matter lasted over half an hour. I didn’t think it would be this good so thoroughly pleased so far.
Due to having an awkward border hedge that is made up of several species and has a drop on the other side which requires use of a stepladder to tend to, hedge cutting is never a very easy activity in our household but it’s one we enjoy. Part of that is because it’s never a job for just one person — one to cut the hedge and the other to hold the ladder when needed and manage the complicated manoeuvring of the extension cord so that the electrically powered cutter can reach everywhere it needs to. It a fun father and son activity for a sunny weekend afternoon, and having a cordless cutter doesn’t make it less so.
I had decided against getting a cordless cutter a while back because I decided I didn’t want a petrol one, but as battery power and capacity have improved, the misgivings I might have had about battery were proved groundless when I used this. Removing a power cord from the situation really liberates you to move about and work as you see fit — not just stay in one place, reposition the lead and continue, then have to go back if you decide you missed some bits. But the real test was that mix of different plants that make up the hedge — I was worried it wouldn’t cope as well, or have that oomph to power through the tough bits, but it copes really well.
I just have one issue I need to caution against, and it’s one that not everyone will have because not everyone has a hedge that towers above their heads in places and is hard to get to in others. (But I would guess that enough people will). To activate the cutter you need to hold both switches at once. This isn’t unusual and is a pretty standard safety feature. However one of the switches — the one at the front — tends to rock a bit in its housing, so that if you squeeze it in the middle it’s fine, but if you squeeze more to the left or right it doesn’t activate. That’s not a problem if you use the tool as you’re supposed to. The thing is that I — rightly or wrongly — have to stretch my arms as I hold the cutter to get to some hard to reach places. This is a stop-start activity — I get into position and then I press the switches — but when you are holding it at an odd angle it can be hard to activate it on first go, and that’s a bit frustrating and something I didn’t have with my other cutter. Of course, I can’t really fault the manufacturer for that when I’m not holding the cutter in the recommended position, even if I do make sure I’m safely positioned — it’s just that difference between textbook use and real life use. Overall summary though? It’s a very decent piece of kit.
First up, this is a hedge trimmer, not a chainsaw.
In short, that means this is for trimming or shaping a hedge rather than cutting one down. General rule of thumb, if you can’t cut through something with shears, don’t expect to cut through it with this.
The cutter itself is well made, with a decent battery that doesn’t take too long to charge and it’s certainly a big improvement over my previous similar cutter.
Yes, the price is a little high given that my last one was almost half the price but my previous one also had the battery fail quite quickly and thanks to the universal Bosch battery in this I know that won’t be a problem.
A decent investment for me given that I usually trim my hedges half a dozen times a year so the cost definitely justifies the time saving compared to manually doing it with shears.
This Bosch cordless hedge cutter arrived well packed with good easy to understand instructions. Battery arrived part charged. After 12 hours charging I clipped battery into the cutter, removed the blades safety cover and started to cut by hedge. My normal cutter is a mains version (Bosch too) with a really long power cable. This cordless cutter is so very easy to use. There isn’t a noticeable difference in the strength of the cutting action from battery to cable. Pleased with that.
Cut my medium sized hedge quickly and with comfortable. Cutter isn’t too heavy, nor noisy.
Overall this is an impressive cordless hedge cutter. I am very pleased to recommend.
This is my husband’s review as he is head gardener in our family:
The Bosch EasyHedgeCut 18-45 Cordless Hedge Cutter arrived in specifically designed packaging which was recyclable. The blade area has a protective plastic sleeve which, together with the appliance being cordless makes for easy storage.
The battery was partly charged but I followed the advice in the instructions and put it on charge until fully charged which took about an hour.
The hedge cutter came as a real surprise as I had not expected it to trim my mature Box hedge so effortlessly. I also trimmed several conifers, again with ease, despite some of the stems being around 6-8 mm in diameter. I particularly like the fact that the trimmer is cordless, being the veteran of several episodes of cutting through the cable on my existing trimmer; I would like to add that my wife is equally guilty.
An interesting point is that the 18V Lithium-ion battery also fits fit all of my 18V Bosch tools. I also remove the battery when in storage in case any young members of the family should decide to give the trimmer a try.
All praise and no complaints with this appliance – 5 stars!
I previously had a corded electric hedge trimmer – I loved it because you did not have to charge the battery before use – BUT – it was lethal when using on a large hedge up ladders!!! I cut through the cable about 4 times!!!
This is much safer – I did have recharge the battery half way through my 3 hedges – it took about an hour. It gave a really good cut without having to apply too much pressure and it did a great job!
The worse part of cutting any hedge is the clearing up the cuttings when you have finished though!!! Grrr! xx
Nicely well packaged and only using packaging that is necessary for the trimmer and not a huge unneeded package footprint….thats a star in itself. Inside the box is literally the hedge trimmer, battery and battery charging pack with instruction booklet. The trimmer itself has a lovely meaty holding handle which is excellent as allows you to take a firm control of the trimmer when in use (I felt it was safer with this big handle than other brands I have previously used). The battery came with a charge but is very fast charging on the charging pack. I used this to trim a Laurel Hedge and the edges of a conifer tree. It was quick and very responsive and the trimmers are sharp (so be careful). Trimmer is metal and when in action cuts very well. Easy storage due to having no wires to deal with. I can’t find anything to be negative about! Thats a first for me! Recommend to all needing a simple easy to use hedge trimmer for light garden usage.
