5.0 out of 5 stars Most useful piece of machinery I've bought in a long time!
I didn’t actually summon up the courage to use this for almost a year (the safety warnings are daunting!) but when I did I was ashamed of myself. Easy to use, doesn’t take long to charge up the batteries/energy packs and lighter weight than I expected. I’ve trimmed a hedge that had taken over from about 9ft high down to just over 5ft high, and its also down from about 3ft wide to 1ft 6/2ft wide. It didn’t take forever to do the hedge although I did it over a couple of days to give my legs and arms a break. Super machine.
Lightweight but effective with good battery length of use.
Delighted with this purchase. Although relatively light in weight the blade is surprisingly effective for its size. Certainly easy to use and the battery lasted over an hour as far as I could tell on my first uses
Best Buy
Another amazing purchase. High quality, lightweight but not too light. Easy for me to manage on my own. Easy to assemble and charge, which lasts for a long time. Extremely happy and great value for money.
Excellent hedge trimmer for the money
Was pleasantly how well this cut and lasted on its first use, obviously time will tell but first impressions are that it’s excellent value for money. Easy to use and very effective.
Great Battery life.
Really impressed. This is my 4th cordless hedge trimmer in around 12 years and by far the best. Robust and powerful.
I have a 40 metre 2 metre high privet hedge and previous trimmers would need 4-6 charges to do while hedge. This only needed 2-3 charges!
5.0 out of 5 stars Great machine.
This is an excellent machine perfect for cutting privet hedges. Bought the machine without the charger and battery then purchased a 4amp hour battery and charger separately this way it worked out much cheaper.
Cuts the hedge well
My husband was tired of dragging long cables around and over the hedge so bought this as it was reasonable price and had good reviews. Quite impressed with the machine as a hedge cutter, but it gets a bit heavy after the first 15 minutes cutting. My husband does the hedge cutting and he is in his 70’s so the weight is a bit of an issue for him. The battery lasted for about 45 minutes and cut half the hedge, it charged fairly quickly for the other half.
The weight probably wouldn’t be an issue for someone younger and stronger.
5.0 out of 5 stars Trims quite well
Bought this trimmer for a few hedges we have of some low maintenance growth. Charges fairly quick and has enough juice for your basic cuts. Perfect for light work we’ve done not tested if it were to be put to its paces.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good size and Balance
I had tried a longer bladed one but found the balance wasn’t very good. This shorter one has a much better balance for me, being an older lady. More confident in using this up a small ladder.
Light and easy to use
This trimmer is a good standby when I have a small amount of hedge to trim and don’t want the hassle of getting the extension lead out. Nowhere near as powerful as my mains trimmer but then I didn’t expect it to be. Very handy for those parts of the garden which are a long way from a power socket. Very lightweight and easy to use.
Best buy!
I love this, honestly, how refreshing to buy something that actually exceeds your expectations! Very powerful, my hedging is very high, dense, and the branches are rather thick in places. This got through no problem, went non stop and still didn’t need charging at the end. Excellent item
5.0 out of 5 stars Super hedge trimme
Picked this up on Prime day and very happy with it. Manages all the work I need it to handle, not designed for particularly heavy duty work but I’d expect capable of dealing with most garden chores. Battery life also very good.
I was so happy with my Einhell battery lawn mower, that I immeditely orderd their strimmer and this hedge trimmer. They are all excellent – particularly for a quick 10-minute tidy-up. The hedge trimmer is so much better than the one I bought 6 years ago: light weight (easier for an 80-year old to trim the top of the hedge), and powerful enough to cut through half-inch branches.
After reading other reviews I thought this is the one for me and it is perfect. I’ve always used hedge clippers but the time was now right to change. It is light and very well balanced for a female gardener in her seventies. It has clipped my bereris hedge beautifully with no problems and of course it is cordless. The battery is just enough to do a steady job and complete the hedge in one go. Great price arrived as promised ( don’t be put off when you pick up the parcel the packaging is heavy NOT the cutters). I love it and would 100% recommend it.
We have used Einhell Hedge Trimmers in an environmental group I’m a member of. They do sterling work and heavy work helping to clear undergrowth and over hanging thin branches – I have used Ryobi equivalent and gone through two already and others eat through the batteries. A 4Ah seems to last for the 2 or so hours we use them for – so can’t recommend them enough.
I won’t get carried away as it is of simple design and has the standard double button safety feature to prevent things like cutting an arm or leg off. However, when used with the light 1 or 2 amp hour battery it’s a doddle to manoeuvre around and cut as you need both left or right handed. The bigger batteries make it butt heavy and not so balanced but who wants to be cutting that long anyway?
The blade is of good length but doesn’t have that grunt required from a 2 stroke engine which you may need on more woody shrubbery so use it appropriately and know it’s limits and it will be fine.
Unfortunately it doesn’t make me a cup of coffee so only gets 4 stars as it’s not worth the 5 anyway.
Light and no more getting wrapped in cable
Love it, seems more powerful than the mains units I have and so much easier to handle than the Titan 4-1 petrol hedge cutter unit. You can sculpt your hedge as it is so easy to use. There is no cable so that doesn’t get caught on the ladder, hedge or you! The battery just seems to keep on going without charging or refuelling every 30-40 minutes.
Like all einhell products I’ve bought it’s functionality is impeccable, it’s powerful for it’s size, is lightweight even when a high capacity battery is connected, it’s well balanced and makes light work of bushes.
I’ve got the lawnmower, drill, vacuum cleaner and now this hedge trimmer and can’t find fault with any of them at all. I would recommend the einhell range completely. I will buy further einhell products for sure.
Much more efficient than Wired versions.
Much easier and lighter to use than my old wired hedge trimmer. Impressed with how long the battery lasted when trimming bushes and hedges. Managed to get over 1 hour on 2Ah battery before it died and only took 50mins to fully recharge. This was my first use, so don’t know if this will be maintained with further use.
Would cut through 1cm thick branches whereas my wired version managed 1.5cm, just something to bear in mind when purchasing.
Please note that I purchased the battery and charger with the hedge trimmer, which was much cheaper than purchasing them separately. To cut all my hedges in one go, will need to purchase a second back up battery.
Excellent purchase
My garden is quite steep and awkward and I have had battery hedge trimmers in the past and never really rated them so put up with corded trimmers that have more power but it was always hardwork getting out the extetion cables just to reach the top of the garden. That is until I bought the long pole version of this product and that came with a battery and charger. I was so impressed that I bought this version and the battery fits. It’s easy to use, the battery lasts well over an hour and it changes within an hour. It’s light weight and cuts through laurels and conifers with ease. Because there is no need for the entention cable, not only is the hedge now neatly trimmed but also every bush and shrub on the slope has also been shaped. My corded trimmer has now been relegated to the back of the cupboard and I am now thinking of getting the lawnmower. Would I recommend this brand definitely.
Excellent hedge cutter, makes short work of cutting overgrown hedging.
Very pleased with this product, it is lightweight, easy to handle and slices through all kinds of hedging with no problem at all. I have previously purchased the Einhell drill and reciprocating saw (fabulous for rapid cutting through thick wood) which I have been using to build raised beds on my allotment plot, so I already had the 3.0ah battery and the battery charger, so didn’t need to pay extra for these. Note: if you don’t have these products already you are looking at another 70-80ish, but in my opinion well worth it, particularly if you are going to buy other equipment in future, and I have been very impressed with Einhell products so far. This product was therefore the obvious choice when I needed a replacement hedge cutter, as already having the other accessories I thought it was really good value. The cutting blade is superb, I oiled it with some 3in1 on arrival then set about 2hrs of hedge cutting, it went through a mixed ‘bush’ type hedge (not really a hedge, just ridiculous scrub), then a beech hedge, then a massive holly hedge with ease. I used to use a Flymo extendable cutter, which was not only hard work and too heavy to handle but the cutting blade was useless so I used to end up re-doing it by hand with manual hedge trimmers to get a decent finish, not so with the Einhell which leaves a very smooth surface.
My only gripe for this is not about the product, but about the Hermes courier who delivered it. Delivery day came and went, they said they had been, but no card was left and I was in all day, so I knew they hadn’t attempted, then the next day they turned up with it and stood in my front garden for a bit looking confused, it was purely by chance that I happened to be passing the front door at the time and so went out to see who it was. The cutter was in a very large amazon box, but the ‘prime’ seal had already been cut open with a Stanley knife, then someone had messily wrapped some brown parcel tape around it again to keep the box together. Okay I thought, lets see what is in the box – I opened it to find the hedge cutter also in its original box, but this too had been cut open at the top and left with the flap lying open. Nothing was missing, but it looked to me very much like someone in the Hermes warehouse had been looking for portable items to steal – maybe they thought there would be an expensive battery in here easy to take out or other item to steal. Seriously not impressed with Hermes and Amazon should re-consider their use as a delivery agent if they are going around opening peoples parcels to check what is inside.
