Bosch Cordless Hedge Cutter UniversalHedgeCut 18V-50 (Without Battery, 18 Volt System, Brushless Motor, Blade Length: 50 cm, with XL Gardening Gloves Included, in Carton Packaging) – Amazon Edition

The Hedge-cutter is light, easy to use, and has very good teeth. I have used it to cut around 20 yards of hedge, one side only, and clear paths with thick weeds (such as cow parsley and teasles) growing through. I have also used it as a rough grass and weeds cutter taking swathes out of what should be a wildflower meadow, but is full of hogweed and dock... I charged the battery pack the day it arrived, and I have not yet re-charged it since... and I have used it to do all that work, over two days!!! Thanks to Mr. Foxi's review, I too got "can of STIHL Superclean which is expensive but specifically made for hedge trimmers. It's a resin solvent with lubricant". It came from Northumbrian Garden Machinery, Hedgeley Services Powburn near Alnwick. I treated it before and after use, and it is excellent stuff, very well worth it. I am convinced that using Superclean facilitates and perhaps improves the cutter. I am so pleased that I can use the cutter so easily.

I received the order 2 days after purchase so that was a good start. On first handling it feels fairly light even with the battery attached. There is a safety switch at the back of the trimmer which needs to be depressed first and then you press one of the three buttons on the main circular handle to activate the cutting blades. Generally I found it reasonably quiet and easy to use considering this was my first time using an electric trimmer. Cutting through thick branches was not a problem, some of them were 2cm wide and the trimmer cut through them effortlessly. On a safety note I would strongly advise wearing eye protection glasses especially when cutting through thick thorny branches and wearing thick gloves too. Prolonged use of the trimmer may cause temporary shaking in your arms as the trimmer vibrates a lot when in use. The shaking does go away after a while so don't worry. Anyway would I recommend it, of course it's a big Yes from me. It's a bit more expensive than the other ones out there but worth it due to the high quality of the product. Hope this helps :)

It's great, the battery lasts a really long time, really convenient not having a cable. It's lighter than I expected and I don't have any trouble using it for a long time but some people might find it a bit heavy. Successfully trimmed several years growth of the neighbours massive conifer. It doesn't easily cut branches more than about 1cm diameter - however you can get through thicker stuff if you back off and have several goes and don't push too hard. The auto reverse & retry action works quite well - it sort of gives you a warning that it's going to stick and gives you a chance to back off. Also the blades near the tip work better for tough stuff. Great that I can use the existing batteries and charger I already had for my drill. I'm thinking of getting the strimmer and jigsaw to match now.

We have 40 feet of 7 foot conifer bush to cut each year and I hated the effort needed get my old trimmers to cut it. I was a bit dubious of a battery powered hedge trimmer being up to the job compared with my old electric trimmer which struggled to cut well. The Bosch trimmer is lighter than my old electric trimmer. The batter charged up in about an hour, and once clipped in I set off to tackle the hedge. In 10 (yes 10!) minutes I had finished trimming the sides of the hedge. Normally this would take 30-40 minutes plus breaks for aching arms! The Bosch trimmer cut and hedge sides with ease, and where the branch was a little think it occasionally stopped - you just release and click button again to continue. Little tip - the top of the trimmer blades has 10 cm of heavy duty cutting blades that sort out any thicker branches - so just sweep the tip near the thicker branch and it slices through no problem. I didn't have to go over any patches as the cut is clean and flat first time. Mighty impressed...

If you already have batteries that work with Bosch appliances this is a very good option for a hedge cutter. It has so far taken care of our hedges, worked on small tree branches and did a good job of clearing invading brambles. Overall very happy with it and the gloves are an added bonus.

Cuts hedges as well as corded model I had previously. Lightweight and well balanced.

September, 2024 I bought this from Amazon back in September 2021. I have used it once a year since to trim the box and yew hedges that I have in my garden. In total, it has had less than 10 hours of use. I was very happy with the way it performed, and looked after it well, always cleaning and oiling the blades, and recharging the batteries before I put it away. Apart from a few scuffs, it looks almost new, and I hoped it would outlast me. I was using it two days ago to do my annual hedge trim, but when I come to use it again today to finish the job, it's dead as a dodo. It's just one week over its three year warranty. The batteries are fully charged and work fine in my other Bosch 18 V tool. The hedge trimmer isn't even attempting to run, so diagnosing the problem is impossible without stripping it down. I can take the time to parcel it up and have it collected by a courier arranged by Bosch, and then repaired by them for (a maximum repair price of) £66 while I sit on my hands, or I can buy a new one with next-day-delivery. Bit disappointing for a brand like Bosch. Update/2024.09.18 I sent the failed hedge trimmer to Bosch at no cost to myself and was surprised when Bosch informed me that they wouldn't be repairing it, but sending me a new replacement instead. This arrived a few days after I'd sent in the failed one and is an updated model of the same. I hope this lasts longer than the original, but I can't fault Bosch's customer service in this case.

Ho acquistato questo tagliasiepi Bosch circa un anno fa per gestire le mia siepi tasso. Dopo una stagione intera di utilizzo, posso farvi una recensione più che positiva basata sull'esperienza concreta. PRO: Potenza e Autonomia Eccellenti: Utilizzo le batterie da 4.0Ah e 5.0Ah del sistema Bosch 18V (che già avevo per l'avvitatore) e sono più che sufficienti. Con una batteria da 5.0Ah riesco a tagliare tranquillamente tutti i miei 25 metri lineari di siepe, con ancora del "succo" avanzato. La potenza è costante dall'inizio alla fine, non perde colpi nemmeno con i rami più duri e spessi (entro il limite di ciò che può tagliare, ovviamente). Mano Libera e Praticità: La libertà di non avere un cavo è impagabile. Non devo più preoccuparmi di dove pesterò il cavo o di avere una prolunga sufficientemente lunga. Posso muovermi liberamente intorno alle siepi e anche spostarmi in giardino senza dover staccare e riattaccare nulla. Taglio Netto e Preciso: La lama da 50 cm è la misura perfetta per le siepi medie. I denti sono affilatissimi e lasciano un taglio pulito, senza sfilacciare i rami. Questo è importante per la salute della pianta. La dopla lama lavora in modo eccellente e non si inceppa mai. Bilanciamento e Comfort: È ben bilanciato e non affatica le braccia, nemmeno dopo un uso prolungato. L'impugnatura ergonomica e soft è comoda e garantisce una buona presa, anche senza i guanti (ma usateli sempre!). Robustezza e Affidabilità: Dopo un anno, funziona come il primo giorno. Non ha mai avuto un problema, un intoppo o un calo di prestazioni. La costruzione è solida e ispira fiducia. I guanti inclusi (taglia XL) sono robusti e li uso sempre, sono un ottimo valore aggiunto. CONSIGLI/COSE DA SAPERE: Attenzione: Nella confezione NON è inclusa la batteria e il caricabatterie. Questo va bene se siete già dentro il sistema a batterie Bosch 18V (Professional o Home & Garden). Se è il vostro primo attrezzo Bosch, dovete acquistarli a parte. Per siepi molto alte, avrete comunque bisogno di una scala, ma il peso ridotto rispetto a un modello a scoppio o cablato rende il lavoro molto più sicuro e meno faticoso. È perfetto per la manutenzione ordinaria. Se avete siepi trascurate da anni con rami legnosi e molto spessi, dovrete prima fare un lavoro di sfoltimento con attrezzi più potenti (seghetti o tagliasiepi a scoppio). CONCLUSIONE: Dopo 12 mesi di onesto lavoro, posso dire che è un acquisto più che soddisfacente. È potente, affidabile e incredibilmente pratico. La batteria dura tantissimo e la qualità di taglio è professionale. Se avete già le batterie del sistema Bosch 18V, non esitate: è un ottimo investimento per mantenere il vostro giardino in perfetto ordine senza fatica. Lo ricomprerei altre mille volte.

J'ai achété ce taille haie pour mon épouse qui s'amusaient à raccourcir mon allonge électrique à chaque utilisation... La coupe est très bonne et avec une batterie de 2,5Ah l'autonomie permet de couper beaucoup de mètres de haies. Maintenant je l'utilise plus que l'autre filaire, c'est tout dire....

Well balanced, lightweight trimmer with great cutting blade.

Para cortar setos con ramas no muy gordas perfecto. La batería se queda un poco corta, yo compraría otra para estar cubierto
