Do not buy the Black & Decker GT524 520w Electric Hedge Trimmer, I used it twice third time burning smell and then dead BandQ wont replace as its a year old having purchased it last summer. BandD customer service non existant.

My Black & Decker GT524 520w Electric Hedge Trimmer has a good reach, which in my case was the reason for purchase. However, it is poor overall. Blade sharpness means it's almost useless now (about 18months after buying), to puny for my hawthorn hedge really, once blunted a bit.

I agree with Andrew Price! The Black & Decker GT524 520w Electric Hedge Trimmer is the worst trimmer I've ever used.

I tried the Black & Decker GT524 hedge trimmer on all sorts of hedges. It was the most frustrating gardening tool I have bought. It jambs on almost all types of growth. The worst hedge trimmer I have ever bought and I have been gardening for over forty years. A complete waste of money.
