It reached the heights
This hedge trimmer was just what I needed to cut an oversized hedge. It reached the top of more than 12′ and the hedge was much more under control than before. The battery behaved well and lasted a good while. I would recommend Bosch as it makes a difficult job much more manageable.
Does a reasonable job
I brought this in May 2024 and when it was delivered the small hook on the chest harness was broken and would not stay connected to the machine. Bosch were very good at sending me a replacement. Yesterday while using it for the 1st time since getting it, it broke again! I’m waiting to hear what Bosch have to say. It is quite heavy but I am only small. Overall it’s a good machine and reaches where I need it to
Does the job
Decent price, arrived on time not lightweight as said in the instructions does not shorten in anyway so my wife can’t use it (or that’s what she says). But it really cuts well and battery life is good.
No instructions.
This looks great, except I want to trim the hedge now but have no instructions
Now I have to wait until Bosch get back to me. By then it’ll be raining
Purchased without battery as good value
Good extended length for doing 6-7 ft high small garden trees.
But when extended, & if branches are a little thicker it does struggle to cut them, maybe it needs a more powerful battery that can be supplied?
Only negative for me is the weight when fully extended even when using the shoulder strap it is too heavy after 10 min use.
but a shorter length then it is fine as the cutting head is fully adjustable
But for short time cuts then the weight is ok
IF I was thinking of purchasing again then I wouldn’t only because of weight
It’s well built & comes apart for storage
Would highly recommend!
This is become part of my essential gardening tools. It’s a reliable piece of kit. The added strap helps to make the job much easier since I was never blessed with much balance. I was impressed that it managed to cut back a few years growth off a neglected hedge. It can feel heavy while cutting vertically but it is a hedge trimmer after all. Battery life is excellent.
Having bought various items of Bosch garden equipment over the years, that make was my first choice when looking for something that could tackle higher hedges and bushes. Unfortunately, on this occasion my in intial experience has made me think that it would be best to take a look at the opposition before purchasing anything else.
Using it for the first time I found that the blade cover was almost impossible to remove and when I did so I discovered that this was because it was one of the most cheaply and badly made pieces of plastic that I had ever encountered and so unlike that on my Bosch hedge trimmer. This resulted in copious amounts of plastic being removed by the blade each time that it was forced on or off, although this process has ultimately made it an easier -if still horrible- fit.
The second time that I used the tool the front carabina clip on the strap malfunctioned and allowed the blade to fall to the ground, something that it did again subsequently until it broke completely the third time. Bosch have supplied a replacement strap with what appears to be a better clip, but time will tell if it is actually better.
Bosch dispute my contention that any of this relates to production now being in China rather than Europe, but I do not think that companies move production overseas because they cannot get things made in Europe to the same high standard, but rather because they can have them made cheaper. However, if they cannot produce these elementary components properly it may not bode well for the life of the working parts.
Problems such as these at the beginning of ownership are not confidence-inspiring for long term use. Incidentally, less muscular potential buyers should also be aware that due to its weight distribution -especially when extended- the tool can be rather heavy and unwieldy to operate (which is why a reliable strap is essential!) and appears heavier than its nominal weight. Try before you buy if possible, but also compare with other makes.
Lightweight, ergonomic and easy to use. I strongly recommend this machine to anyone thinking of purchasing a pole hedge cutter.
Battery life is very good but I still purchased an extra battery to ensure there were no delays in finishing my task.
I’m a fan of Bosch products and have other garden tools which can share batteries. Whilst the item is well made and was easy to assemble, the tool is extremely heavy, especially compared to another brand that this has replaced. As a “mature” gardener, I will struggle to use the item other than for short periods and certainly couldn’t without the strap which does not give great balance when used.
The UniversalHedgePole Cordless Telescopic Hedge Trimmer is an absolute game-changer for anyone looking to maintain their hedges with ease and precision. Here’s why I’m giving it five stars:
Effortless Precision: Trimming hedges has never been easier. With the Cordless Telescopic Hedge Trimmer, I can effortlessly reach even the tallest hedges and shape them precisely to my liking. The telescopic pole extends to just the right length, ensuring that no hedge is out of reach.
Convenience of Cordless Design: Say goodbye to tangled cords and limited mobility. The cordless design of this trimmer allows me to move freely around my yard without worrying about finding a power source or tripping over cables. It’s powered by a long-lasting battery that provides ample runtime for all my trimming needs.
Versatile Cutting Options: Whether I’m trimming delicate shrubs or tackling thick branches, this hedge trimmer handles it all with ease. The adjustable cutting head allows me to switch between precision trimming and more aggressive cutting, making it a versatile tool for any landscaping task.
Comfortable Handling: The ergonomic design of the UniversalHedgePole ensures that trimming hedges is not only efficient but also comfortable. The soft-grip handle reduces fatigue during extended use, allowing me to tackle large trimming jobs without strain.
Durable Construction: I appreciate the durability and build quality of this hedge trimmer. It’s clear that UniversalHedgePole has put thought into crafting a tool that will withstand the rigors of regular use. From the sturdy telescopic pole to the sharp cutting blades, every component feels solid and reliable.
In summary, the UniversalHedgePole Cordless Telescopic Hedge Trimmer has exceeded my expectations in every way. It’s a must-have for anyone who takes pride in maintaining their outdoor space. I highly recommend it to homeowners and professional landscapers alike.
Just used this for the 1st time today so can’t give an opinion on its durability, although it does seem well built, previous to this I used to cut the hedge using a Bosch cordless hedge trimmer (none telescopic) and I would say theres pros and cons using either method, firstly the original (none telescopic) cutter is a good deal lighter and easier to use but is obviously limited by reach and ladders were totally neccessary, also when at full stretch vertically the cuttings used to drop in your hair, eyes etc. this is avoided using a telescopic cutter as you are able to stand to the side with the extra length available.
The quality of the cut I would say was pretty good as you can see on supplied pics, all in all I would say it did make life a little easier although I still had to use ladders as my hedge probably like so many others is way to wide to cut by angling the head as they would have you believe.
I managed to get about 3/4 of the hedge cut which is around 30 metres by 4 metres before the battery give in, fortunately I had a spare so not a problem,however this brings me on to another minus point the kit is advertised by amazon as coming with the AL 1830cv charger, this is not the case (at least not for me) as mine came with the AL 18 v 20 charger) which is not as fast been only 2 amp as opposed to the 1830 been 3 amp. Hence the 4 stars as I have deducted 1 for not been as advertised (hopefully Amazon will read this and correct the description).
The usual Bosch quality. Easy to assemble. I bought mine as a bare unit, I think it was a customer return. Disappointing that the carry strap was not present as the unit is long and heavy and probably not practical to use without a strap. Fortunately I had a similar strap on my Bosch garden vacuum which just about fits this cutter. I have not yet used the trimmer in anger, but I have no reason to suspect it will any less effect than my ordinary Bosch trimmer which I think is very good.
Most of my previous hedge trimmers have been Bosch and have been very effective and reliable so when a friend recommended getting a long pole version it was inevitable that I chose Bosch. Although not quite as strong as the Stihl used by my friend, it is a more flexible tool and a bit lighter. The flexibility is due to the telescopic pole. Most of my hedges can be reached on the shortest length, but a couple of places where the ground falls away, the extending pole is a godsend. I must mention the battery life which is impressive – advertised to last for an hour, I have used the hedge trimmer for a bit longer. On the downside this hedge trimmer does struggle with thicker stemmed deciduous plants, but seems very effective on my leylandii hedges.
Battery is interchangeable with other Bosch Home tools, but not with Professional range tools
Battery is interchangeable with other Bosch Home tools, so if you already have a Home tool (eg hedge trimmer) you do not need to buy an expensive second battery. However battery is different to that supplied with Professional range tools. Someone does sell an adapter to enable use of Professional tool batteries however (about 14).
Good for the price
Already had an 18v batter and charger
Have tried electric and battery. They are ALL top heavy but balance the angle of the cutting head and the strap and most of the weight can be taken up. This isn’t a professional unit but it does the job week. With care you can cut though 5-10mm branches with care but again it requires some thought about angle of attack.
Unless you are going to spend five times the amount this is the best you’ll do.
5.0 out of 5 stars Flexible piece of ki
This has replaced a petrol hedge trimmer and long reach battery battery trimmer which always ran out of charge before I finished the job. Battery life on this is much better and the trimming blade is as long as the petrol hand trimmer so one tool now does the job better.
5.0 out of 5 stars Light Easy To Use Even When Extended
After changing from a heavy corded model, this was a Revelation! Extends easily and even fully extended is light enough to be used easily. Battery life is ok, but not great, the + side is the battery is small and light. It has a good “which” rating which was the clincher.
Excellent hedge trimmer and especially easy for the high parts of the hedge, as other reviews have said yes it is a bit heavy after a while but you just have to pace your self to your own level .Very pleased with this product and easy to put together.
Work ok for a cheap hedge trimme
Like; lightweight, got extra battery free, sharp, battery compatibility with other tools. Dislikes; could do with a handle midway to help steady the device, floppy at full length due to pole made from thin aluminium. Generally a good tool for a budget price.
This is as good as stated . Extends and adjusts to all awkward angles .
Makes my life so much easier , shaping the top of a flowering cherry tree .
Copes with sensible branches and leaves a great , neat finish.
Not too heavy even at full extension . Neck support helps a great deal .
I would highly recommend it . Battery life is great . Used all afternoon on one charge .
I’ve been using the G Tech hedge trimmer for a few years and it finally wore out. I searched for a good replacement and looked at the weight of several different options. I was interested in getting a system that would use one battery for several tools. I chose this one because it was reasonably priced. So far it cuts well and recharges quickly but it is heavier than the Gtech and is probably too big for my medium sized hedge. I would recommend that anyone thinking of buying this really checks the weight and see if you need something this size.
Connecting the two poles was fiddly and not obvious and the instructions are useless – print too small and buried in welter of health and safety text. A large self -explanatory “Quick Start” diagram would be welcome. Useful length (adjustable) but quite heavy to handle even with the shoulder strap.
Very easy to use and not the heavy. Very sharp blades made light work of my conifers. Ten feet up a ladder with the tool at full length and one handed i was still able to prune and the weight was not excessive. I did take plenty of breaks because it does have some weight but manageable. The telescopic handle allows you to cover more ground when working and it is use able at all lengths. I tried another brand that claimed it was telescopic but, it was a split shaft and extension piece. I am very pleased with my purchase and I would buy it again and recommend to others
This articulated hedge trimmer is a serious piece of machinery, it is also quite heavy. I am presently trying to work out the best way to tackle a high overgrown boundary hedge. There is no doubt that it can handle the task, the only problem is whether I can handle the machine. At the moment I am at the planning stage.
This is a nice lightweight piece of kit but be aware that it is only really suited to light duties and struggles with anything more than that. It has tooth spacing of 16mm but will not be happy cutting anywhere near that. I had to send it back.
Well-made piece of kit, however it is quite heavy and when fully extended the weight of the cutter head makes it difficult and tiring to use. Not having used any other makes this might be the same with all long handled cutters that have most of the weight at a distance. The machine does cut well and the battery lasted longer than my arms.
Arrived already opened, with the security seal taped to hide the intrusion.
All parts were intact, so no idea what went on, the battery was flat, so maybe someone swapped them.
Works fine despite my initial concern, but is rather heavier than I thought it would be, and not a well balanced tool.
This Black Shoulder Strap was absolutely Smashing Delicious and amazing because my Black Shoulder Strap holds my Lightwriter SL50 very well this morning at our house because we got to swap from my Green Shoulder Strap and throughout the swapping my Shoulder Strap progress we got to take our Green Shoulder Strap from my Lightwriter SL50’s rings and then after that we put our Green Shoulder Strap on the Blue Keyring holder next to me and then afterwards we got to put my Black Shoulder Strap onto my Lightwriter SL50’s rings and guess what my Black Shoulder Strap works a treat now with my Lightwriter SL50 and I am so happy that my Black Shoulder Strap can hold my talker very well this morning which is a brucie bonus for me and it is my fully fledged Black Shoulder Strap and I giving my Black Shoulder Strap 10 out of 10 because my Black Shoulder Strap haven’t got any complaints and problems what’s so ever so that’s good news.
Great Product But Not Lightweight.
Whilst I am very impressed with the overall product I have to warn that it is a heavy I struggled to lift it using both hands and feel would prove problematic to most ladies or the elderly.
That being said the actual cutter is very well made as you would expect from this maker & goes together easily providing useful high with variable angles for cutting hedges without having to use steps.
Okay for light duties
It’s a bit unwieldy but I guess that’s the nature of the beast. It is front heavy which is to be expected when the motor is mounted by the head, so it is tiring to use. It is OK for light use. I successfully trimmed a conifer hedge and a few light bushes but it struggled with the laurel hedge, for which I had to resort to the bigger mains powered hedge trimmer I have.
A very good produc
The machine cut my large hedge (circa 60 feet long and about 4 feet high) with no problem, the battery lasted around 1.5 hours from fully charged, it must be noted this is not a light machine, which was fine for me, although some may find it on the heavy side.
Functional & Practical
Bought for managing small trees and hedges to one side of garden. Cuts twigs and small branches as described in the manufacturer’s promotional material. I have trimmed two oak sapplings 5m tall or so (NB operating partially off a working platform) plus a 6m length of substantial holly & elderberry hedge , and the trimmer has not jammed to date. This work was carried out on three separate sessions and there was no problem with battery life on any of them. Generally adequately powerful, but noticeably less so that a large mains saw – an issue of speed only really.
As a strong six foot male I generally found it manageable, although quite tiring to hold above head height for that extra bit of reach. I would not wish to use this from steps or a ladder, but it felt OK from a working platform. For the use I put it to it provides a viable alternative to employing a professional for annual management of the encroachment of small trees and hedges.
Heavy when extended but decent enough
These trimmers work well on small to medium thickness stems (privet and hawthorn hedges, few millimetre thicknesses), and definitely give a lot of reach. The blade drive is a bit ‘tinny’ sounding but at least while sharp the cutters do a decent job and the battery seems to last well enough; they aren’t going to get through finger thick growths the way my mains powered hedge cutters do. With the motor on the far end, the weight is noticeable especially with any kind of extension. Finding a decent way to support or counterbalance the end is sometimes a bit tricky and the strap does not connect any higher than the handles. If you have grip or strength issues in the arms, these could be a challenge but I’m ok working an hour with these as a mid-50s desk-worker with moderately weedy arms if that’s any guide. A spare battery is very helpful (I have a Bosch drill with the 18V system so just interchange with those batteries).
Surprisingly adaptable
I got this for a hedge, which sounds sensible! But i have started to use it for everything, weed clearing, grass cutting around where the mower doesn’t do so well, even some pruning and straggly branch cutting.
I fear it wont take this level of abuse for long – but’s not complaining yet! (6months done)
It’s not all that well balanced, and I don’t find the strap of any use, so it can be hard work – but it’s good and hard working considering the price. The angled head is the winner for me, and gives it a versatility i didn’t expect.
Grea
Wow does this save time. A bit heavy for me 70+ woman but I can manage it. Only problem I have is stopping. Just want to cut everything down.
Lightsweight made it east to handle.
Very disappointed with the official box the product arrived in , it’s condition looked like it had been kicked around the store room for several months , it had being opened and re- sellotaped up which prompted one to question whether the contents were second hand , damaged or once bought and returned to the store ,however on opening the box the long reach hedge trimmer and it’s associated parts appeared to be new and unused. The trimmer has yet to be field tested .
Losing a star only because...
You don’t get the battery or battery charger included in the package which was annoying- as had to order them separately the day it arrived- however- the machine itself is brilliant. Lightweight, easy to use and cut my massive hedge a treat.
No wires or extensions needed. Really impressed
Trimme
A bit heavy for the wife she can only use it every now and the
Very good
Really very good but very heave to handle especially for a older person like me.
Quite heavy.
The battery life isn’t the 2 1/2hrs they state more like an hour but good enough in my opinion. The cutting capacity is really good as is the long reach if you’re able to hold the weight over this length. They are difficult to use on hedges that are within arms reach as the handle isn’t detachable and the switch is only accessible at arms length where an added short use switch would of been a good idea.
Bosch the hedge with this cutter!
Bought summer 21 and used so far 3 or 4 times over various shrubs and hedges.
Pros.
This thing cuts like a hot knife through butter. I have had zero issues on hawthorn, fern, Laurel or Privit hedges.
The battery life is excellent and the fact that you can switch in new ones (if you have them) is great.
The fact that you can angle the cutting head by such a wide degree means you can get a good edge at most heights.
Cons
The weight is a bit on the heavier side. I’m not a weakling and can cope, but after a while it can make your arms ache. My other half struggles with its weight when working horizontally to over a boarder. Vertically it’s a bit easier. THE SHOULDER STRAP HELPS NO END THOUGH.
All in all, very much recommend the cutter – especially if you have already got things in the One4All battery range.
Trial and erro
I bought this to try and trim my 8′ yew hedge, which was getting out of control and being a lady of a certain age I don’t feel comfortable on steps anymore. I found it heavier and more unwieldy than expected and you definitely need to use the provided harness. It’s not as powerful as an corded trimmer but it does the job. Because of the angle it’s difficult to guage what’s being cut on top. I could only use it for a few minutes at a time but perseverance won out and while not perfect the hedge does look tidier. I found it easier to use on other smaller bushes, when it wasn’t extended. All in all it’s a useful addition to my garden tools and does away with cords but not as powerful as expected and has problems cutting through anything thicker than a cigarette.
You get what you pay fo
Having initially tried a Greenworks pole hedge trimmer, the motor of which fried itself on day 1 of use, I decided to order this instead of having a replacement for the other.
This is far easier to use ergonomically speaking. It isn’t light, and anyone expecting a long pole with a moving piece of metal weight at the end to be light is a fool. However, with the strap (easily fitted) it maneouvers easily. Battery life is exceptional, have used this a lot for 3 days straight and still not needed to recharge (deliberately stress tested it because I had another battery for Bosch from another garden tool of needed).
Has had no issues cutting through some fairly substantial brambles, extremely thick bind weed, as well as the normal hedge trimming you would expect to do.
Sometimes you really do need to pay more for something which works, and this definitely follows that rule.
Better than GTech
This was bought to replace a GTech cordless hedgetrimmer that was heavy and cumbersome to use. The Bosch is so much better although it too, isn’t that light. However using it was good, it’s telescopic and the blade can be angled. I already had a suitable battery and charger (for a Bosch cordless hedgetrimmer) but ended up buying another battery for 30 from Amazon, as I tend to use both trimmers togethe
Grea
It’s a bit off balance when using the extension so just be careful but an amazing piece of kit. Took a little bit of time to get use to but had the job done in half the time it would normally take due to it’s extendable reach. Managed to cut back the neighbours privit this year but won’t cut thick branches. It’s designed for trimming young or thin branches so don’t expect it to get through the really thick stuff. Ideal for keeping on top of those high bushes that seem to grow over night in the summer. Easy to assemble and use.
Just what I wanted!
Usual build quality you’d expect from Bosch and by using the common batteries it saved paying extra for yet more batteries.
Lightweight and does my 8′ hedge with ease. Don’t have to mess about with mixing fuel etc and manage the weight of a traditional petrol equivalent.
Perfect just buy i
very easy to use, cuts through the hedge with ease, long battery life, i was able to cut my 100 feet long and 8 feet high hedge in one charge and i am a newbie.
the tilt function is very useful and its very easy to get a nice clean look can’t believe i was paying 100s for this job for last few years
Good tool
I bought this because I fell off a stepladder trying to clip a high hedge. The tool enables me to do the job with both feet on the ground. It is quite heavy, but fortunately training with the traditional Taichichuan spear has assisted in manipulating it to good effect with minimum effort. The battery works well, although it is noticeably less powerful than my mains electric Bosch hedge trimmer.
It works well but isn't ligh
Usual Bosch quality and it handled our large Beech well but it is really quite heavy, especially when fully extended. One design gripe is the placement of the on/off switch right at the bottem, would be better placed on the middle section.
Ideal for no ladder hedge trimming
Some reviews say it’s a little heavy and not as powerful as a mains trimmer.. but for not having to stand on a ladder or worry about cutting trough cables not a bad trade-off…battery life is good for me as I’ve had enough before battery runs out .. trimmed conifer hedges well just needs a little practice..
Cordless telescopic hedge trimme
Bought this after reading round. Purchased due to it’s lightweight. Have now used it several times, has done an excellent job trimming hawthorn trees. Easy to use and adjust the angle of the trimmer. Battery lasted for the duration. An hour? Hour and a half? Can’t remember it was that good. Would recommend to others. The only thing I wasn’t pleased about was the shoulder strap/support clip failed on the first day. Have continued to work without is. Too flimsy. Shame.
Quite a heavy machine
I purchased this hedge trimmer as bosch is a trusted German make. I’ve got other bosch tools and have had no problem.
If you’re not very strong, you will need to take lots of breaks whilst using this hedge trimmer, as I find it’s very heavy. Does the job OK, but as I’ve said before it’s heavy even with the trimmer head off?
In the box are the manual and a separate piece of paper with the instructions to go online and register with bosch to get a 3yr warranty, which I have done, it makes sense to do so.
Putting the hedge trimmer together was a snip no problems.
Great produc
I have high hedges this this machine has been just what i needed and does a great job.
Another great Bosch produc
Has plenty of reach when fully extended and the tiltable cutter makes it easy reach high objects. Is ideal for trimming thin tree branches (I use my Chain Pole for the thicker stuff). Can be a bit heavy when fully extended due to a “pendulum effect”
Broken security seal....
Bit worried when I received box from driver, the security seal on the side was broken, checked contents, all there, no plastic wrapping on product but I don’t know if it should be wrapped up in plastic bags or not… looked like someone had opened it to check contents…. tried out trimmer, works OK, no signs of being used before, I was worried incase this was a faulty return and they’d sent it to me.. over all I’m pleased with my purchase, but disappointed it arrived how it did…..
Not quite as good as I'd hoped...but on the positive side, its a Bosch
Bought this to replace a budget extendable cordless hedge trimmer that I bought from Amazon a few years back, and which gave up the ghost when I caught the blades on barbed wire.
The old machine had a longer blade, and that difference in blade length was the immediately obvious disadvantage with this Bosch, although self evidently its a shortcoming which can be mitigated by extending the pole. However, most disappointing of all is that the cutting power doesn’t seem to be as significant as that of the tool it replaced. Still, being a Bosch it feels substantial, it charges fairly rapidly and will no doubt last for years if looked after.
Edit: used it again today and I would agree with other reviewers that it’s underpowered. My previous hedge trimmer was a rather clattery affair, but it rarely failed to cut. This Bosch doesn’t so much “clatter” as “mutter gently”, and during use I constantly feel as if its struggling and on the point of jamming.
Excellent hedgetrimmer.
This hedgetrimmer really does the job. It arrived right on schedule and having charged the battery I started on the hedges round our garden. Three hours later the job was complete. In the past this has taken two working days to do, so I am well pleased with the item. The battery did not need to be recharged during the job and at the end topping it up took just over an hour.
5 stars well deserved and thoroughly recommended.
Makes life easie
This is a brilliant product that allows me to trim my neighbours trees without asking permission or even telling them. I wait till dusk and I can get trimming allowing me to have total control over the neighbourhood.
Perfectly satisfied.
Just finished using, did everything I wanted.
Quite a lot of other reviews say about it being heavy & it is when you’ve been using for a bit, but having said that, be realistic! We’re talking about a hedge trimmer at the end of a six foot pole! Put anything on the end of a pole & lift it up in the air & it’ll be heavy!
Like I say, did everything I wanted it to so in all honesty I’m quite satisfied.
