The instruction leaflet as missing Fig 3 and spelling mistakes also, putting the 2 halves together it says about egg shape ??? what you need to know is fit the external slot into the inside slot ( not clear from instructions) I did get it together finally and it works OK and did the job but it is heavy after using for several minutes
have yet to set it in motion but I have faith! Arrived in very good packaging!When I
This is a well made product and mine works great. I have used it to cut a lot of headge row and it does the job. Its a big hedge trimmer on the end of a long pole, that makes it heavy to use. My arms were pretty wrecked by the end of a mornings work. Great value, excellent product but they are all heavy – Weight is a big consideration when buying a long pole trimmer.
It hasn’t broken yet which makes it the first hedge trimmer under 100 I’ve bought that hasn’t. But then I’ve only used it a few times… I’ll keep you posted.
So far so good… it’s a hedge trimmer that trims my hedge… go figure.
Now if it could mix a mojito…
Well worth the money. Adjustable length to reach where you need to. It will be front heavy because of the motor but having used petrol pole trimmers this is a lot easier to use and a lot lighter. For the money you can’t go wrong.
So Great Product for those 7ft high and 5ft wide hedges like mine and cut down the cutting time a lot from traditional clippers. Yes Its Heavey if used held for some time but not as heavy as others. I am in my Late 50’s and completed my full hedge cut in 1 session. Great Product with great value price and does the job well.
good buy done the job well and at a good price
Very good NETTA Pole Hedge Trimmer Long Reach Telescope – I am very please with this item Would recommend.
Happy with my purchase but becomes heavy when using for any length of time have to take a break for a few minutes
Cut two very long tall hawthorn hedges with no problems at all. The pole is one pf the lighter poles I have tried. It comes with a strap to help support it, my advice is take it off and don’t use it I find much easier to use. I have a shoulder injury and find the pole light enough to use.
Quite a good product, and relatively easy to use. Excellent long reach meant cutting foliage which hadn’t been reached for years.
Bought to cut high hedge and save me getting ladders out, easy to assembled, long mains lead, only drawback is its weigh
Easy to use and cuts well even the thicker branches. Although one of the lighter makes it still proved heavy at long reach after periods of continuous use. I improved the balance and support by fitting the top adjustable shoulder strap clip clamp higher up the telescopic shaft. To do this you can easily remove the adjustable clip clamp from its factory fitted position and fit it to a suitable higher position on the telescopic inner top pole. This pole is slightly smaller in diameter so you need to shim the clamp to ensure when tightened is secure.
Very easy to assemble, lightweight, good quality, and good price.
Bought this to replace the G tech which could barely cut a twig in the end.
This is a brilliant tool in comparison.
The only negative is that it is heavy to reach with if you use it for a decent amount of time hence the 4 stars.
Wish I’d bought one of these sooner!!! Easy to use although is quite heavy, I just took a break whilst cutting.
Cuts well but when fully extended you need to be fit a fairly strong
Like reach and change of angulation of trimmer.
Can be slightly heavy and tiring while using it’s full extended length
A bit top heavy but then again I’m only 5ft 5 and 72 years old despite that like Annie “I’ll be back” to use it again. It did the job it’s supposed to do, no complaints.
Easy to extend – gives a good smooth finish ‘I like it –
Weight wise no problem for me ‘
My wife finds it a tad Hi & heavy –
Though there is a harness –
This is an easy product to use. Maybe a tad heavy when fully extended but well within the capability of a regular human.
I bought this in expectation that it would be no lightweight, but was impressed by the extra height that it offered.
The delivery was quick, assembly easy and performance was fine. It cuts through most things with ease.
But a couple of hours cutting can take it out of you and a hot Radox bath (other soothers are available!) was a requirement.
Don’t let this put you off, but be aware of it.
In use the trigger is at one end by the handle and the weight is at the other end. It is awkward to use and becomes tiring after a time. It’s OK if you’re strong.
I understand that the weight seems greater relative to length so the tendency is to take hold further up the pole however this means the controls are out of reach. It appears well made and does the job although with regular periods of rest.
Excellent cutter would benefit having a handle halfway up the handle.
Feels a bit plasticky but that could be a blessing because it is much lighter than my old one (Eckman)
I bought the a corded model because I only need a pole trimmer a couple of times a year for some bushes and it was a cheaper option . Used it at the weekend and it did the job fine . Probably not for the bigger garden but did what I needed
Not so much lightweight as described but by some other cutters it is. Does a really good job of the hedges.
Bought this product to replace an old worn out cordless Gtech pole hedge trimmer. Never really rated the Gtech trimmer from day one. And this new replacement out performs the Gtech in the power department easily, (still not the most powerful, but good enough). It really is a whopper fully extended, and reaches all those high and awkward areas my short trimmer fails to reach. I’ve now used it several times. When I first started using it I thought it too heavy and regretted the buy, but I persevered with it and gradually it got better. You seem to work out different techniques of dealing with just how heavy it is the more you use it. Having said that, the only downside of this trimmer I can find is the weight of the thing, which I’ve sort of got used to, and I’m glad I bought it now.
Great product. Slices through hedges and bushes like a knife through butter and and it extends to a fairly decent length to reach the higher foliage. Only downside is that all the weight is at the top end. There is a thin support strap that I have yet to work out how to use which may help a little. But I have a physical job and am reasonably fit and strong and yet by the time I had finished using this I felt like I’d had a major workout!
Only used this once so far but it did the job well, for a long hedge it could get a bit heavy at full reach
A fantastic garden tool for those hard to reach places.
The strap is not the best, it could do with a padded shoulder strap.
Cuts really nice abs easy to setup. A little on the heavy side when fully extended.
Just the job strong light to handle loads of power thanks
Bought this to control 10ft hawthorn hedge at the rear of the garden. I noted a used/as new version advertised and bought that, it had minor marks on the blade protector but otherwise seems perfect. The unit assembled easily and was lighter than expected, however with a 2-3kg motor at the end of a 2.7m (8ft 10in) shaft it is still somewhat cumbersome, but with the assistance of the support strap it is still more manageable that the Ryobi 2m unit it is replacing. (I am 74yrs old with back problems). So strapped in off I went, magic, it reached all the areas I wanted and cut all suitable sized branches with ease. Added bonus I found was the length adjuster was so easy to use I could use it at all levels. Very happy with my purchase.
If you want a no fuss hedge trimmer, easy to use, not too heavy, then this is for you. If you want a monster tree trimmer then spend another 150 and get a Bosch or Ryobi. For most, this is a great trimmer and easy to use with a long cord and simple controls. For the money, it really is great.
Extended hedge trimmers are always a little on the heavy side but this one is about the best I’ve had.
Assembly took me approximately three minutes…..simple, with no tools required.
Easy extension of the Aluminium pole with nice screw locking collars to keep the pole at the required length.
If you don’t want the cutting head straight out and want it on the angle instead then this can be done in seconds by pushing in two large black buttons on the head unit which in turn allows you to adjust the head to the desired angle for cutting.
In short a nice piece of kit that I would recommend.
Love this trimmer as its agile for cutting different angles.
Strong blades allow you to cut deeper than leaves level.
Easy to put together. Value for money.
Only negative is that its heavy but does feel well built.
The trimmer did exactly what I bought it for and at a good price. I was able to trim my archways which had clematis and hedging growing on them at a height of 9ft.
The hedge cutter is fine but you couldn’t work with it for to long as the head is a bit heavy in certain aspects but if you use the strap in certain ways it’s not to bad , needs a bit of getting used to.
I bought this because my petrol powered pruner was getting way too heavy for me and I wasnt disappointed its light and very easy to use it has an impressive reach and the cutting blade is sharp and delivers a good cut. overall a very good product…the only drawback! For star wars fans you will get the storm trooper theme song as you march down the garden path with it..da da da dum da dum dum da di dum..
Would be better balanced and easier to use had the drive motor with its accompanying weight been at the other end of the machine.
An excellent product. BUT it IS very heavy and tiring, especially when extended. Be prepared to take breaks if you have a long hedge.
It allows me to do the top of a 10ft + leylandi hedge – mostly from the ground, but with the blade at an angle reach the far side by standing on a small stepladder.
As expected it takes a little bit of strength if not close to vertical, but it is fine. (I’m 65 and not athlete!).
“Does what it says on the tin”. 🙂
I bought this to replaced my old long reach pole trimmer so was not expecting any surprises. It is true that the weight of a pole trimmer can be a problem if you are of slight build. I did find however that the Netta was lighter and easier to use than my previous trimmer (surprisingly so for me, as the motor on this trimmer is at the top of the pole and the motor on my old German made trimmer was at the bottom). I also found that the Netta got to places that my previous trimmer couldn’t get to without the aid of steps. All-in-all I am very satified with this purchase.
As per other reviews the weight is at the cutting end, so your shoulders are going to suffer pretty badly.
But I’m super butch – so – you know.
Cuts well.
Pretty decent piece of kit! It works well and the locking mechanism isn’t difficult to use but it’s heavy to use when on full extension. I have Fibromyalgia so I’m possibly not the best person to be using this but I did manage and didn’t have too much of a kickback from doing it. All in all I would recommend this item to anyone who needs the extra reach, it’s a good price and reasonably well made.
It is not heavy to pick up but it is heavy to use after a while. In my experience with this type of cutter they are all heavy. Getting a good balance with the handle and the strap is important. Thankfully I read a review suggesting the wearing of gloves because of the safety catch. They were right it does ‘bite’ so be prepared. It does a reasonable job but the one I have does not cut through branches of more than 0.5cm.
Easy to assemble. Cheapest extendable hedge trimmer on Amazon. Surprising how quickly I filled my green bin with cuttings from my conifer tree. From the ground I managed to cut half way up the tree without the use of ladders. Yes, it is a little top heavy when fully extended, but I am really pleased with the product and would happily recommend it. I would suggest that any extended hedge trimmer is going to be top heavy when fully extended. Don’t let that put you off.
My husband was really pleased with this item and has already used it to trim number of trees and bushes which are hard to reach in our garden as well as an overgrown hedge. The strap assists in using the item. It arrived very quickly, well packed and was easy to assemble.
This is a nice quality piece of machinery. It has a good long reach, the different angles it can turn to is very good , it also cuts very well. My one concern is it is very top heavy, as the motor drive is at the top, and as I’m getting on in age I had to do the work in stages otherwise my arm’s ached like crazy
I bought this “Long Reach” hedge trimmer because I’ve been warned off using ladders following a couple of falls off one on a sloping garden area! The new machine was convenient in use, so I’m now quite an easy-going trimmer of high-ish hedges. My thanks to both maker and seller of my new garden helper.
Product as described. Prompt delivery. Assembly straightforward. Limited use to date but I do agree with other reviewers that the item is heavy to use due to the motor position at the cutting head. However, I purchased the item fully aware of the potential weight issues and not withstanding this, I consider the purchase to be value for money and would recommend the item to purchasers whose budget considerations override the physical and practical issues of using the item.
Got this to tackle some high hedges. It works well and reaches those hard to cut spots. As other reviewers say, it is heavy at the cutter end, so it can be strenuous cutting with the pole at an angle. But it gets the job done well and is powerful enough to trim its way though without labouring.
Provides a very good cut. It’s adjustable for various heights. Downside it’s fairly top heavy. But, good value for money
Works well easy to set up. Has a good reach. Good price. Heavier than I thought it would be and found it unbalanced. Would pay more for lighter more balanced version with hindsight.
after years on a ladder wobbling with hedge cutter…ringing any bells folks??.. got this on offer. Superb…yes it is a long top heavyish machine..use the shoulder strap to counter balance it and rest it on top of the hedge and enjoy the great cutting results. It CUTS THE WOODY BITS. not just the new soft growth. didnt jam once. did our huge hedges in a third of the time and its a fairly good weight workout as well.. caloroes burnt..beer time.
I am a 5ft 3″ female of 67 years and managed to tame a 7ft 6″ ivy fence with this. I bought a 4 point harness to help with the weight distribution. It was heavy work, but I felt safe with it. The trimmer cuts well and coped with all in its path, (including part of the chain link fence, oops!). All in all, I am glad I purchased this.
A good machine with two big faults. Firstly it is heavier than expected with the strap being of no use and secondly the trigger mechanism is difficult to operate.
I bought this to tackle some high/wide hedges, with the pole extended and the strap in position this cutter takes away the strain and risk of over stretching associated with a standard cutter. the only thing I have noticed so far is it doesn’t give a really neat cut of larger leave hedges.
Strap is, fiddly, but useful for a rest. Handled the over grown Conifer Bush thing next door have encroaching on our garden well enough! But don’t expect it to deal with anything thicker than a finger in branch thickness.
At this price, there is little to complain about, however there are some words of caution before you purchase this item.
1). The motor unit is at the cutter end which makes it quite heavy at full extension. Anyone with a modicum of upper- body strength should have little issue. It’s not much more unwieldy than a petrol trimmer though.
2). The strap is pretty useless and the trimmer is best held with the handle against your waist, as a pivot, and making arcing sweeps with the other hand.
3). You will need a decent extension lead and a Residual Current Device (RCD) to be safe.
4). There is no tip protection on the cutting blades meaning you have to be extra careful around walls etc.
Otherwise, I am impressed and completed the job in just over half the time of when I use a petrol cutter. Just allow some extra time for delivery as it comes from abroad.
Highly recommended.
