Bosch Electric Hedge Cutter EasyHedgeCut 45 (420 W, Blade Length 45 cm, Weight: 2.6 kg, in Carton Packaging)

* PhysicalI have used one of these before. The previous model Bosch I owned was my fathers. He got it second-hand. And it still lasted over TWO decades before it died on me. This new one has the same lightweight, quality feel. It's easy to handle as it's balanced in your hands. The cabling on this is longer than my previous model. I still recommend you get a cable extension reel to extend its range of usage. If you feel hard done by having to buy this cable reel just for this, think it will help you hoover your car and mow your lawn?* First looksIt came within 24 hours. i saved £15. I decided to set up a three-year warranty. To do so you're required to surf the Bosch website. I entered into this online warranty form, two serial codes. These two codes are on the box it came in. One has a single letter in its number code. This other has just a string of 9 numbers only. Then I printed out and scanned my Amazon bill and uploaded it in the form as part of my three-year guarantee warranty. This proof of payment is uploaded at the end of the creation of the warranty and then if it is sorted, you can download and print the tailored to your customer warranty document for safekeeping. Bosch recommends you download and print this out. I would then staple the warranty and the bill of sale together and keep it somewhere safe.* What is it like to live with?These cutters are great. I recommend the application of a lubricant - such as WD-40 - to the blades. This one is cheaper, and i.m.h.o, just as good as the own brand Bosch spray-on lubricant. I say this with confidence. As I used this same spray on this same Bosch model hedge cutter and it lasted over two decades! Please note, this Bosch hedge cutter is loud when you're using it. If the hedges are wet, I suggest you wait for a dry day. They can cut more than fresh growth. It's easy to cut verticle and horizontal level cuts on well-established hedges. Not all cutters can do this on strong growth. The way it is not too heavy helps when using it. It has a plastic scabbard to protect the blades when required to put it in storage for winter.* Any tips?My sister put me onto working with hedge cutting. Instead of putting it off and then having a single, major hacking of the hedges back, trim the hedges every few weeks or so. Why? It's easier to carry out these minor trimming operations than to do a big chop all at once of the hedges. You don't have bin loads of waste to deal with. And each time, this has more control over the overall tidiness of these hedges. And takes much less time than a major hack. So you're less likely to put it off. And you're more likely to keep on top of them.The blades on this Bosch hedge cutter are the same length as on my previous model. It feels great build quality. Please try not to cut the cable you're powering it with! My dad and I did this a few times! I have discovered that a replacement cable for this hedge cutter can be sourced from Amazon suppliers. So if you must maintain the safest usage of this tool and cut the cable, you can buy one for less than £20. If you don't want to buy a replacement cable, I suggest using a soldering iron, solder, insulation tape, a Stanley knife and Gorilla tape to repair it.* SummaryI expected this device to be around £90. This is based on checking with a nearby, well-known physical DIY store. The one spelt with three characters. It's great it's sold on Amazon at a more manageable price.

Decided to purchase this product as my small Bosch cutter was making hard work of trimming my conifer edge. Couldn’t have made a better choice, did the trimming in a fraction of the time. Easy to handle, well balanced and not too heavy. Great product as you would expect from Bosch.

Bought to replace a heavier duty model which had a faulty cable (after 12 years and being severed several times) not quite as much power but still cuts through bushes and light branches with ease, easy to operate and lightweight. Good safety features and I especially like the fact the wire plugs firmly into the machine (and stays fast) and it is not wired directly into it (this would make it easier to replace wire if it were accidentally cut) good length of wire and with an extra extension easily reaches all of the garden. Recommended.

Hreat price ,great product 5*service

Light weight (2.6kg), easy to carry and operate therefore.I like it that it has a detachable power cord.This means you don't have to carry the extra weight if you do not need to.It also mean you should easily order a replacement.Powerful enough (420W) to open corridors in dense bramble and such overgrowth.I quickly went through my way to the back of the garden.Small enough to store easily.Can't comment about durability but so far, none of my Bosch motors (washing machine, lawn mower and streamer ) has died on me.I would consider both the corded (this) model and the one with the battery.However, the battery will add to the weight of the device making it harder to hold up and operate for longer.

I've been wanting to buy a hedge trimmer for some time now. I kept putting it off, but finally bought this budget Bosch one due to the star rating in Amazon and the fact I own a Bosch lawnmower which is superb.I am so glad I did get a hedge trimmer as I've been previously using a pair of hand shears!!, and I don’t need to explain how frustrating and a chore it is to maintain a fairly big hedge with manual shears.Despite being small it is more than capable with its 420 watt motor. I was actually surprised how quiet the motor is.This little machine is capable of dealing with small and even medium size hedges and branches. A great choice for the gardener that wants to get the job done quick and precise.The trimmer is equipped with a 45 centimeter long blade, which has a tooth spacing of 16 millimeters. The blade has apparently been diamond grounded which should give the blade a bit of longevity and clean cutting.There is also a nice plastic blade cover that comes with the trimmer, so you can preserve the blade when not in use.The cable length is around 10m which may be enough for some people to not even require an extension reel.Handles are positioned very ergonomically that suits me quite well, and I don’t feel like I would drop it at any point in time. It’s very light, weighing in at 2.5kg which helps prevent fatigue in the old arms when reaching up.You could probably cut long grass with this trimmer if you don’t own a lawnmower, although that would be pretty back breaking!I can definitely recommend this to my friends and other Amazon users 👍🏻

Price and assured good working order. So accepted as seen thankyou.Hole in product box authenticated by driver .would like to think it will have no detriment to its working order.will see when its in use.
