I wish I had got one of these earlier. It is great for getting to the top of the higher hedges and shrubs in my garden and is very versatile. The motor unit is a little heavy but since I do not intend in using it extended for any great length of time, it s fine. I have the fixed version of this trimmer and find VonHaus pretty decent trimmers. The blades are excellent and the power is fine for getting through conifers and shrubs. Like any of these trimmers, I would be careful about trying them on heavy branches but then that goes without saying. All in all, I am very happy with it.

I like the 20mm diameter branch cutting capacity. Mains connection provide steady power supply. Without the extension pole it is still heavy and will give you a good work out. I managed to cut through the cable on my first use. It will cost me £24 for a cable connector and wire stripper to fix it. My previous cordless hedge trimmer did not have this issue! The provided harness provides support for the heavy extended version. Exension pole is easy to put on and take off. Good planning is needed. Do all hedges without the extension pole first then attach extension pole to get to the parts you couldn't reach. You need to be relatively fit and strong to use this equipment.

A bit on the heavy side when using the pole and could benefit from a better harness, but it really does the job. The neighbours have used it more then I have. Need to use an extension cable, but half the price of a battery operated one [they look the same price but you have to pay almost as much for the battery and they lack the power]. Never runs out of fuel and no starting problems.

The tool is easy to assemble. It's not for the feint-hearted once it is extended and in use. It takes a little while to get used to the weight as well as to balance it properly. However, it cuts efficiently and is easily a match for my 2.5m leylandii hedges and so far I am very pleased with the trimmer. It is good value for money though it will take some time to see if the mainly plastic construction is durable.

I have a few small stretches of hedge to trim and some are quite high and awkward to get to. In the past I have used hand shears and struggled a bit so I thought I would give this a try. I don't actually think this saves any time by the time you have assembled it to the required length, found an extension lead, plugged it in etc. However having said that, it makes getting to the high and awkward hedges easier. The 600W motor makes it more powerful than some other electric hedge trimmers but despite this it will struggle to cut through anything other than this year's growth. The blades are sharp enough and make a clean cut. The adjustable extending pole makes cutting the high bits and tops easier. The down side is that it is heavy and prolonged use will make your arms ache. The motor is at the top of the extension pole so you are supporting that weight while cutting. Even without using the extension it becomes quite heavy after a short while. For small amounts of hedge or clipping a few bushes it's fine. Read full review
