About Bosch Hedge Trimmers

Bosch hedge trimmers are packed with innovative features and have a reputation for quality, reliability and value for money.

Some hedge trimmers are double sided which means that there are cutting blades on both sides of the cutter bar. This allows the user to cut in up and down as well as side to side motions. Some hedge trimmers are single sided which means that there are cutting blades on only one side of the cutter bar. Single sided hedgetrimmers tend to be better balanced but restrict the cutting direction. The biggest range of hedge trimmers from homeowner use models to professional models is in the double sided category with a small range of professional hedge trimmers available in the single sided range.

There is no single "best blade length", but rather you should choose a blade length that suits the tasks you'll be undertaking.

  • For trimming shrubs and a small hedge - an 18" blade length would be suitable
  • For trimming long and tall hedges - a longer blade length of around 24" - 28" would be more suitable

1. Blade length

The first thing to look at is the blade length. Understanding the type of work you're doing will help dictate what length of blade you require. For shrubs and small hedges, a smaller length of around 18" would be fine. For larger hedges, you would be better with a longer blade.

2. Standard or long reach

Are you trimming hedges within arms reach, or do you have tall, wider hedges that would require a long reach pole?

3. Power supply

Hedge trimmers are available in petrol, cordless battery or mains electric and each has it's placed in the market. A homeowner in a small garden where power sockets are available may find using a mains electric hedge trimmer meets their requirements, whereas a professional users may prefer a petrol powered or a cordless machine.

If you're considering a cordless machine, our short guide will help you choose.

4. Weight

The weight of the trimmer should be a key consideration when choosing which to buy. If you plan to operate the trimmer for long periods, it's important to ensure you're buying a trimmer that you're comfortable holding for long periods.

There are a few different types of hedge trimmers that are designed for different applications.

  • Shrub trimmers (8" blade length)
  • Standard handheld (typically between 18" - 30" blade length)
  • Long reach (various lengths, sometimes telescopic, typically 18" - 24" blade length)
  • Hedge trimmer attachment for a combination tool (fixed or articulating, typically 20" - 24" blade length)

Some of the best hedge trimmer brands are STIHL, ECHO, Husqvarna, Honda and Mountfield. These brands provide a range of hedge trimmers and long reach hedge trimmers for homeowners through to professionals, in cordless, mains electric and petrol options.

Petrol powered hedge trimmers are popular machines with all kinds of users. To help you decide whether you should choose a petrol trimmer, here's a list of upsides and downsides.

  • By looking after your machine with regular maintenance and servicing you can ensure it will last for a long time

  • No need to worry about flat batteries and recharging
