BOSCH 0600847D70, AHS 60-16 Electric Hedge Cutter, 600 mm Blade Length, 16 mm Tooth Opening, Green

This is a great time saving tool for any one with hedges and bushes. It cuts through ours like butter. When you do hit a thicker branch that its not too keen to cut in one go, I tend to just keep going at it in waves and it eventually cuts it. I'm actually very impressed at how strong this is for the price we paid for it. We tried the battery version of this and it ran out far too quickly for what was needed. I'd rather be sitting in my garden, rather than waiting around for batteries to charge and having to do it by hand whilst I wait. With this you don't need to worry about charging times, just make sure you've got an extension lead (the attached lead is not very long) and you're all set! The benefit, is that if it does struggle it has all the power it needs on tap, to tackle any hurdles.The blade includes a fiddly cover that I guess protects it or rather you from it. I'll be honest, I'm probably going to throw it away, its a bit of a hassle trying to put it back on and mine will be staying in the shed when not in use and there a far sharper objects in there than this, so it's a bit silly in my view. The blade it self is a perfect length, just long enough to be able to cut horizontally and vertically in just a few strides. For me, theres no need for a step ladder or squeezing myself onto the other side of the hedge, as this is the perfect length.I have found that holding it up after a while, it does tend to feel quite heavy but I would think most things would, if you held it above shoulder height for long. For under £40 this is a true bargain and I would not hesitate to recommend it to friends and family (although, they'll likely just borrow mine now). Even at the full RRP this is still a good purchase.Edit: Having cut through the cable, it would be nice if the cable were replaceable. I have fixed and all is well, but on reflection it would be nice to be able to replace the cable should I cut it more often. What I may do, is just replace the cable myself, but it would have been a nice feature to have. Still a 5 Star and excellent value cutter.

Hedgecutter exactly as advertised - and my hedge is now nice and back under some form of manageable control! :) - 9/10.Description on the website, as is the case with all Bosch equipment, stunningly accurate - 8/10Works well for trimming hedges, is nice and light and easy to operate, even on higher hedges (above head height) - 9/10.Even cuts through (with some patience and careful manoeuvring), tough branches which are a little thicker than the advertised cutting capacity - 8/10Easy to set up, easy to use - no complaints about the hedge cutter at all - 9/10Value for money - 9/10(One minor gripe did exist on the side of fulfilment and delivery, but that is a problem that was strictly down to the courier in question, and has been dealt with directly with Amazon and a visit by me to the courier company. Rating of the courier company - 0/10, but as I have stated, this was dealt with separately. This review is purely about the hedge cutter itself).

The Bosch Product 0600847B70 AHS 50-16 I purchased form Amazon, met more than my expectations. Although I wass looking for the 18" long blade which was out of stock at the time. the hedge cutter was very fast, sharp and easy to manage and manouevre - not to heavy. Cord was not too long and could have been long as a lawnmower lead, so i had to use an extension lead to reach the hedges further away. But overall I was happy with the product, cuts neat, faster than using shears and less effort.

A superb machine and very simple to use. Delivery was prompt too. Also, it's a refreshing change to encounter something made in Europe (in this case Hungary and quality-checked in Germany) instead of being knocked-out '19-to-the-dozen' in a far-flung part of Asia or Indonesia. As a consequence it is built like a tank and feels reassuringly solid and well-constructed.This is the first electric hedge trimmer I have used since I "cut my teeth" gardening-wise on my Dad's long-gone cordless trimmer when I was a teenager (I'm now 46) and, now that I have rediscovered the knack/technique of using this, I find it to be a doddle and it gives superb results. In fact, the results were all too superb as I was slightly disorientated (due to tiredness) at the end of proceedings and managed to cut through the cord when I went slightly off-balance, but this is my own stupid fault and no reflection whatsoever on the machine. I had a spare mains connector in the shed, so I was quickly able to repair the severed cord and I am now back in business and will be much more careful from now on!There's a lesson here for all of us - when you start to feel tired, STOP WORK. I didn't. Fortunately the RCD cut-out safety device I always use prevented any accident but be careful, people.Prior to this machine arriving, I was having to use an old, worn-out pair of hand shears to prune my tiny hedge and medium-sized shrubs but now I can do the job much more efficiently and effectively in a tiny fraction of the time.If you're umm-ing and arr-ing over whether or not to invest in one of these machines, do not hestitate. Follow the instructions, use your common-sense, be careful and you will be fine with this.Highly recommended.

These Bosch Hedge Trimmers were bought to replace 40+yr Black & Decker that had expired last autumn. The new ones arrived within 24 hours, in good packaging, undamaged. They are light and uber sharp. ...not too heavy for my arthritic hands/thumbs, as a 70+ female I can handle them easily, would recommend. The 10mtr cable is quite flexible, but will need an extension for a larger garden. They won't quite cut the thickness of stems that the old B&D did, but - heavier/stronger trimmers would have been harder to handle, I conceded to this. I registered them on-line for extended - to 3yrs, guarantee. It was very difficult on-line to do this, Bosch don't do themselves any favours, jumping through 'all the hoops' took quite a while; if you do this be sure to get the serial and product codes off the trimmers before you start. However, as I am so pleased with the trimmers I have still given them 5 stars

Buen Cortasetos de la marca Bosch. Se le ve buenos acabados, no es que sea muy ligero pero cumple su cometido. Tiene dos botones para arrancar en el cual sino pulsas los dos a la vez no funciona. Esto se debe a la mayor seguridad que trae consigo el tener que pulsar los dos botones a la vez , para evitar así que demos a uno sin querer y suframos un percance. Le doy 4 estrellas sobre 5 porque en mi caso venia con enchufe UK. Aparece en la descripción de abajo pero debería aparecer en la de arriba ya que siendo Amazon ES en caso de que no fuera compatible con España lo debería indicar en el titulo del producto para evitar así tener que mirar abajo en la descripción.

j ai fait le retour de l article, l étui de protection de la lame était cassé et la prise est une prise anglaise et ce n est pas signalé dans le descriptif..

Article non conforme pour le marché Français, car la prise électrique n’est pas standardisée.Prise électrique pour le marché Anglais et Américain.De plus L’emballage d’origine était déchiré, certainement ouvert pour être refermé avec un ruban adhésif « fragile » manquait un accessoire pour l’accroche du fil électrique.Très déçu par Amazon.J’ai demandé le retour. Que de temps perdu.

Die Heckenschere war günstig, aber was wir nicht gesehen hatte, war, dass der Stecker nicht in deutsch Dosen passt. Haben neuen Stecker montiert und das Problem gelöst.
