Had it a couple of weeks now and used it a few times on a variety of hedges. Seems well constructed and solid, no real concerns on apparent quality. However, it is a handful on a tall hedge and tiring on a long one. With the motor at the top of the pole it is really hard work for more than a minute or two at full extension – I am a reasonably strong guy and struggled at times. It can be used quite simply on the vertical face of a hedge at maybe the heights they claim but forget getting a neat cut across the horizontal top on an even modestly wide hedge if it’s above about 8 feet tall. You will need a stand of some sort. And there is NO WAY it will cut a 16mm branch. The thickness of the stem/branch it can cut drops off with the distance away you are cutting (because of the sort of manual “leverage” you are adding in), at full extension you will be luck to get through about 8mm ‘ish. The strap is a thin cheap add-on that maybe helps on a short hedge but to get any extension with a tall hedge you are lifting above strap height so it effectively becomes redundant.
It also vibrates a lot, so if you are a carpal tunnel sufferer, I suggest you get someone else to do it!
Bottom line, mechanically all good, OK on a hedge up to about 8 feet, above that getting the tops neat will be hard work, and on a long hedge regardless of how you use it, this machine is really hard work!

Das Gerät ist nicht mal für den Deutschen Gebrauch ausgestattet. Der Stecker passt in keine Steckdose hier ! Habe den Stecker abgeschnitten und einen für den DEUTSCHEN Markt angeschlossen ( Mit NUR 2 Kabeln möglich ) Die Heckenschere ist sehr schwer und deutlich zu kurz ! War ein totaler Fehlkauf !

Works well , a little bit heavy to get used to but strap helps. Cuts well manoeuvres well once you get used to it

This product is a nightmare! I am a 6ft woman and consider myself to be strong and healthy but I found the whole contraption both heavy and awkward to use safely. I can’t imagine how anybody without a long body and arm span can use it properly. I have had to accept that this is probably why it was relatively cheap. If I could I wouldn’t give it any stars.

Whenever anyone writes ‘great for the money’ you kind of think that it is not that good, but that is unfair.
It is easy to assemble, easy to disassemble, easy to use and cuts thicker branches that a hedge. It is a little heavy when fully extended and you are in an awkward position and trying to maneuver around things .. so I would be happier if it were less than 1kg .. but you just have to stop, rest and continue.
However it does do what I need it to do which is to trim trees into shape, cut off the tops and reach reach places I can not get to with a hand trimmer. The strap works well to assist in maneuverability and the angle options allow me to be standing further back (because something is in the way) and use the changing head angles to get a flat top. It is this overstretching and holding so high up that makes it feel like it weighs more than it does .. if I could stand flat against a hedge and trim the top whilst resting it on my shoulder – it would be a doddle .. but then if I could to that I would probably just get two ladders and board and a hand cutter .. so this is a brilliant piece of equipment – and I doubt I would find anything I would be happier with – petrol might be more powersful, but I do not need more power, petrol may not have a cable, but the cable does not get in my way – it is just the weight that I am not so young, but an older or more frail person might struggle with.

Length is good, my only problem was how heavy it is and I’m 5’6 female so had to get my son in to use it excellent item and I’m not complaining as it done what it’s meant to do and easy to use, now assembly was a bit confusing on putting it together but got it together in the end, the lead is very very long so perfect in length. Very sturdy but found the strap clip bent easily when you moved it the strap over your body to take off and on but sorted the clip out in the end. Worth the money I paid for the item, performance was great. Balancing was hard especially when your only a certain height.

Seems to be quite a well made product and has a usefully long power lead. Does get a bit heavy and unwieldy when extended to max length, but then so would any tool designed to do this job.

Used for cutting an 8ft tall beech hedge top and it worked very well. Yes, as others have said, it IS a bit heavy, but if you use the shoulder strap correctly, it works with not too much bother. I found that by putting the base of the handle into my body and allowing the strap to take the weight, it didn’t make my arms or back ache – and I’m an unfit 74 yr old! I might add a bit more padding to it over the shoulder, to make it even more comfortable. Not sure I’d want to use it to cut much higher than that, but I have a 15ft bit of laurel hedge to have a go at soon, so we’ll see!

Great value. I read the reviews before buying. A lot of reviews said that it is cumbersome & heavy to use. Yes, it can be heavy but that’s to be expected when it has a large motor. My advice is just take more rests. I didn’t bother with the sling/harness thing, so can’t comment on that. Adjustable head is great for trimming tops of hedges and creating a box shape finish. The motor is powerful and blades cut really well. It also has a fairly long electric cord. I chose corded over cordless, as in previous experience, cordless trimmers aren’t as powerful. Overall, it’s great value for money
