Weight takes a bit of getting used to, but that presumably shows it’s strong. Cuts branches well and extension is very useful. Seems just takes a bit of getting used to from the usual electric ones. Cuts better than electric ones. Doesn’t take too long to charge battery.
Easy to use; some upper body strength required as it is quite weighty. Good results obtained on 2 metre high beech and ivy hedges. Overall far more creative control than petrol, or electric, “normal” hedge trimmer.
Very pleased with this pole hedge trimmer. It is very well made and so very useful. It is just the job for cutting the sides of tall hedges and across the tops. It makes the job so much easier, with less stretching and climbing ladders. It is not as powerful as a standard corded Bosch hedge trimmer that I also use, but using the two together is ideal.
Easy to setup. Moderately noisy but not too bad. Quite heavy but as expected for a long pole. The strap is useful for support but sometimes have to unclip it. Battery lasted at least 45 mins.
Does the job it’s designed to do but takes a bit of practice, as others have said it can be a bit unwieldy and heavy, it’s just the nature of the device. I bought this and took up the Bosch promotion of a free battery as I already have other items with the same battery so could use it with those, the free battery took several weeks to arrive but is a 3 amp version so great offer.
Ironically, I only bought this product after being frustrated at the cost of replacing a Bosch strimmer battery that failed after 1 year. Wanted to buy a product that has the same battery!
Turns out to be one of the best purchases I ever made. Last year, I spent more than the cost of this item in professional hedge cutting, only because I couldn’t reach up my 5m hedge.
I was amazed that with a stretch, I could reach right to the top and it is so incredibly fast & powerful that I will likely never again use my mains powered cutter.
Hint: look after the battery, don’t leave it in the shed keep it under your pillow at night as I suspect it was cold/dampness that may have killed my battery previously.
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.
I found the telescopic hedge trimmer extremely easy to use and was perfect for trimming a tall hedge without having to climb a ladder. I have a number of Bosch 18v power tools and they all share the same battery, i have not had any issues with this range of tools and the 18v battery has very impressive battery life.
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.
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.
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.
probably apply to most long handled hedge trimmers. I bought it to cut a 5 meter high hedge. Standing on the lower rungs of a step ladder and with the blades pointing straight up I can just about reach the top but it becomes tiring after a short while. The hedge had a year’s growth and it cut this with no difficulty however if there was 2 years or more growth then I think it would struggle. When I adjusted the head to 90 degrees to cut the top of the hedge I lost about 2 feet in length so had to go further up the step ladder and the trimmer felt a lot heavier and difficult to use . As the hedge was wider than the trimmer blades I had to get my extension ladder out and cut the top with extending hand shears; whilst I was up the ladder I might just as well cut the hedge with my normal hedge trimmer! It becomes particularly useful where I could not use the extension ladder for example cutting the hedge immediately behind a shed. It is therefore not a complete solution to cutting a high hedge but a “useful additional tool to have in the toolbox” . It is also good for cutting stand alone trees/bushes up to about 2.5 metres such as Leylandi and Laurel; also Ivy, Honeysuckle growing up walls as I do not have to get the ladder out..
When I assembled it I was surprised at how long it was, even with the extension pole on minimum and slightly concerned that my (slightly vertically challenged) wife would find it unwieldy and slightly heavy (which is probably how she describes me :-), but far from it, with the shoulder strap on, she happily chopped away at anything that dared to grow in an asymmetrical way. In our 60’s neither of us are exactly “spring chickens”, but we managed to wield this device and terrify the shrubs and trees with the whirring blades, without too much effort. Certainly with the pole extended, it will reach pretty much anything we need to prune, so win, win. I believe that Bosch offer a 5 year guarantee, which is another reason why we gravitated toward the brand. There are certainly other similar devices cheaper, but too often I have found “buy cheap, buy twice” to be true. The cutty business end can be angled to allow you to cut flat along the top of hedges or other shapey bits and there is a safely catch to prevent you accidentally giving your dog an unexpected haircut. Being cordless is a bonus, as all too often I have mowed cables in half and I believe a charged battery will allow you to trim 200 m2.
