What the reviews of the Bosch Electric Hedge Cutter tell us

Best Garden Tool for amateur gardeners. If you are upgrading from shears or secateurs, most reviewers asked themselves why they waited so long.  Compared to other types of trimmers, this Electric Hedge Cutter is much easier to use and maintain than petrol garden tools.

Not for branches: Bear in mind the 420 Watt motor and 16mm teeth will not easily cut branches. This is a trimmer, not a chainsaw.

German design. German cost. While this is an entry-level Bosch product and some people complained about the high price, most reviewers praised the German design and reliability, They however noted how hard and expensive it is to get replacement cutters, which become necessary after about 18 months.

It's easy to cut the cable. The design and blade length means that users need to take extra care not to cut the power cable. Take care of the Blade Guard which can be awkward to remove.

“Excellent hedge trimmer”

★★★★★

written by 1980Welch on 09/07/2021

I have had one of these for more years than I can remember. It has cut huge hedges, remaining sharp and extremely effective. One of the best garden purchases I have ever made.

“Low end Bosch”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 08/06/2013

Failed after 2 years - switch failed. Have had multiple sets fail. Finally spoke to a Bosch distributor who told me that these are a sub-Bosch price point product. If you want real Bosch quality avoid the -16 model range; its all rubbish. Buy the -24, the -26 or the Pro models.

“Not recommended”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 04/06/2013

Got one of these about 6 years ago and it stopped working last year. 5 years use sounds a lot, but translates to being used just ten times! The motor brushes were worn out. When I looked for replacements, they were no longer available. Very poor after sales, for a poor enough product.

“The usual, overated German rubbish...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 19/09/2011

Bought by my mum to do her hedges, I used it only 3 times from new until I accidently caught a piece of metal fence wire in the blades with it, it cut out and wouldn't restart. Upon closer examination the force of the motor stopping caused the plastic casing of the whole unit to split and the internals to fall out of place, destroying the motor in the process!! Atrocious product design which is typical of modern German engineering... AVOID ALL BOSCH PRODUCTS!!!

“The Bosch AHS 48-16 Electric Hedgecutter has very...”

★★☆☆☆

written by amoore1 on 08/08/2006

The Bosch AHS 48-16 Electric Hedgecutter has very sharp blades and is easy to use when new but the blades wore out after 18 months of hard work on large hedges. I can't buy a set of replacement blades from anywhere.
