TerratekCorded Extendable Pole Hedge Trimmer 550W 2.5M Telescopic Hedge Trimmer Long Reach Hedge Cutter with 4 Position's, 10m Cable and Shoulder Strap Included

Excellent value for money. Cuts small branches 10p coin size. Downside rather heavy and so best to trim overhead branches no longer than 10 minute use.Definitely cheaper than going to a tool hire companyEasy to assemble.

Whenever anyone writes 'great for the money' you kind of think that it is not that good, but that is unfair.It is easy to assemble, easy to disassemble, easy to use and cuts thicker branches that a hedge.It is a little heavy when fully extended and you are in an awkward position and trying to maneuver around things .. so I would be happier if it were less than 1kg .. but you just have to stop, rest and continue.However it does do what I need it to do which is to trim trees into shape, cut off the tops and reach reach places I can not get to with a hand trimmer. The strap works well to assist in maneuverability and the angle options allow me to be standing further back (because something is in the way) and use the changing head angles to get a flat top. It is this overstretching and holding so high up that makes it feel like it weighs more than it does .. if I could stand flat against a hedge and trim the top whilst resting it on my shoulder - it would be a doddle .. but then if I could to that I would probably just get two ladders and board and a hand cutter .. so this is a brilliant piece of equipment - and I doubt I would find anything I would be happier with - petrol might be more powersful, but I do not need more power, petrol may not have a cable, but the cable does not get in my way - it is just the weight that I am not so young, but an older or more frail person might struggle with.

good cut, but slightly front heavywhen extended

Length is good, my only problem was how heavy it is and I'm 5'6 female so had to get my son in to use it excellent item and I'm not complaining as it done what it's meant to do and easy to use, now assembly was a bit confusing on putting it together but got it together in the end, the lead is very very long so perfect in length. Very sturdy but found the strap clip bent easily when you moved it the strap over your body to take off and on but sorted the clip out in the end. Worth the money I paid for the item, performance was great. Balancing was hard especially when your only a certain height.

very good and reaches without using steps which is always dodgy when trimming with these when leaning out, thought this would help with having a strap, but does the job great!...however still very heavy when lift above your head!I bought a corded version as I use it a handful of times through summer, battery versions would need new batteries every few years at half the cost again... I think corded have more power too such as this!

This product is a nightmare! I am a 6ft woman and consider myself to be strong and healthy but I found the whole contraption both heavy and awkward to use safely. I can’t imagine how anybody without a long body and arm span can use it properly. I have had to accept that this is probably why it was relatively cheap. If I could I wouldn’t give it any stars.

Purchased in 2022, it's stopped working in 2025. This is actually very creditable for the extensive length of laurel hedges.It is powerful and tackles laurel hedge as long as it's relatively new growth, i.e. you don't allow branches to get too thick. Where that happened, we lop manually and next time, this maintained it.Problem and there is one, the control is on the handle. It's difficult to explain, you're holding it and trying to direct the trimmer and as a previous review said, it requires long arms and an awkward stance. It's a full weight trimmer on a pole.Also had hoped to remove the pole and use a lighter weight trimmer head at times, but it doesn't detach. So heavy work all round.

Seems to be quite a well made product and has a usefully long power lead. Does get a bit heavy and unwieldy when extended to max length, but then so would any tool designed to do this job.
