Bosch Cordless Telescopic Hedge Trimmer UniversalHedgePole 18

I have a corded normal hedge trimmer and doing the hedges which are over 2m high and 1m deep in some place has been back braking and sometimes dangerous work that took up to 3hrs. Charged this new battery extended trimmer up in 30 minutes and spent two hours from front to back pulling the hedges right back after crazy growth recently. It cuts through thick branches but does need a few moments to get through. It's heavy enough on your arms after a while but the strap really helps. Recommend spending few minutes working out how to leverage the strap for each new cutting angle you will use. Also found it really handy to change the head angle plenty as I was able to cut all of the top and back side of hedges really well by changing it. I knew one of these would make life much easier and save all the bee stings I usually get whilst at the top of my ladder trying to reach tricky spots. No cable means you can walk around and check your work often without having to move cables that get tangled in the hedge. Extremely happy with what I read before buying to actual result using it. Highly recommend for those with tall or wide hedges that grow fast. It's hard work so do expect to need good upper body strength to use.

After many hours of researching different brands of pole trimmer, I finally decided on this one from Bosch, mainly due to having several Bosch power tools over the years that have served me well. Have used it several times since purchase on a tall conifer border and so far, very happy with it for light to medium trimming. Pros: Excellent build quality. Quick charging battery. (around 1 hour). Good battery life when being used (around 50 minutes or so of light triming). Multi position Tilting head. Easy to assemble and use. 2 year warranty as standard, extended to 3 years if registered on Bosch website. Cons: As some other reviews have mentioned, does feel a little bit underpowered at times. A 24v option would have been nice. Having said that, it is absolutely fine for 'light' trimming of conifers and bushes. Feels a little heavy when extended, however, I think all trimmer poles will be like this as the cutting head is heavier than the battery/handle. The support strap does help to alleviate this. Overall, I would recommend this for light to medium trimming.

I bought this to replace a cheaper pole hedge trimmer that broke on the first use. This was more expensive but I have got other Bosch tools so I felt comfortable spending the extra. It is fairly light and easy to use in the vertical position when cutting tall hedges. It can feel a bit heavy if cutting short hedges where you hold it horizontally but this can but helped by using the enclosed shoulder strap. I have used it on a large privet hedge and it coped very well both on the sides and on the top. I have used it on a fir tree to cut overhanging branches upto the max thickness, it never jammed once. The battery was still working after 40 minutes. It comes with a 2.5ah battery but it also works with my Bosch drill battery which is 1.5ah so it is versatile. It comes with a 3yr warranty as well. Highly recommend this tool.

Was easy to assemble. Used it twice now on my conifers and it cuts really well. The small battery lasts a long time. It is quite heavy to use but the strap that comes with it helps when reaching to cut the tops of my trees. The head angles so no need to use a ladder. It takes a bit of strength to use. From my use so far I would recommend it.

Hedge trimmer is fine but the battery does not last long enough to complete a small-ish hedge despite having a full charge and maximising its capacity. Hedge trimmer quite heavy and mine did not come with a supporting strap to go over shoulder to take weight. Extended length is a lottery as to whether it works effectively given there is no support to hold it. It's done the job but I feel there are better options available. Certainly not something that a professional gardener should buy.

Bought this because I have a couple of large hedges just like the marketing imagery. One is even a laurel like in the image. It is heavy and having the connector for the strap breaking in half an hour may be minor, but then again might not be. It’s no good for trimming a hedge like in the marketing imagery. It can’t cut anything other than some of the leaves and very thin branches. Everything else get moved out of the way. If your hedge is more than a couple of feet thick then you still have to get up a ladder to cut the centre strip of the hedge. That’s defeating the point really. I ended up back up the ladder with shears! Also cutting the sides of the hedge is very difficult I found, much easier with a pair of shears. I am very disappointed with the product and would not recommend it unless alll you have is a very light hedge e.g. privet and its not very wide.

The UniversalHedgePole Cordless Telescopic Hedge Trimmer is an absolute game-changer for anyone looking to maintain their hedges with ease and precision. Here's why I'm giving it five stars: Effortless Precision: Trimming hedges has never been easier.

The adjustable cutting head allows me to switch between precision trimming and more aggressive cutting, making it a versatile tool for any landscaping task. Comfortable Handling: The ergonomic design of the UniversalHedgePole ensures that trimming hedges is not only efficient but also comfortable. The soft-grip handle reduces fatigue during extended use, allowing me to tackle large trimming jobs without strain.

It's clear that UniversalHedgePole has put thought into crafting a tool that will withstand the rigors of regular use. From the sturdy telescopic pole to the sharp cutting blades, every component feels solid and reliable. In summary, the UniversalHedgePole Cordless Telescopic Hedge Trimmer has exceeded my expectations in every way. It's a must-have for anyone who takes pride in maintaining their outdoor space. I highly recommend it to homeowners and professional landscapers alike.

The product seems well built, the cordless works well, the battery power lasts and does everything the manufacturer's claim so I have given it 4 stars. However the product is of limited use. Some of my comments 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..

Parfait

Good all round tool, lightweight and easy to use.

Bonjour, le chargeur de batterie ne correspond pas pour le raccordement sur des prises électriques Françaises....? Ce chargeur livré, est fait pour les prises électriques Anglaises ...? C'est inadmissible donc que vous livriez ça en France....! il faut donc me faire le changement en urgence Merci M.M.

Acheté taille haie télescopique de marque Bosch et de fabrication anglaise. Sachez que le chargeur de batterie est aux normes anglaise donc il faut se procurer un adaptateur anglais francais afin de pourvoir recharger la batterie. Il serait bien que cela soit précisé a l'achat afin d'éviter cette déconvenue ou alors qu'il soit fourni.
