I’d prefer not to have to trim other people’s foliage but I have no choice, so I am so looking forward to doing it with this cordless tool - without the added inconvenience and dangers of using extension cables. I haven't yet had to charge it as it comes precharged and ready to go. I bought this 20v Cordless VonHaus Hedge Trimmer at a discounted price in return for giving an honest, unbiased opinion of it. Soundwise, it is much quieter than my old electric trimmer, but it comes with five pairs of colour co-ordinated earplugs for those who need them.

The balance of the tool is perfect so that all of the weight isn't in one place so that neither arm grows tired while holding up at shoulder height. It took me no time at all to cut our bush down to size. The triple-safety mechanisms for turning it on mean that you're less likely to accidentally turn it on and injure yourself. However it comes with a comprehensive A5 sized Instruction Manual, with 12 pages of information (all in English), which says discharge time is 45 minutes and charge time is 1 hour - time enough to charge your own battery whilst partaking of elevenses or lunch; then back to work!

If I don’t like something, or feel there is a problem with it, I will always say so! I tried this out yesterday on a front bush of ours that was edging over onto our neighbour's walkway, and I'm very impressed. The fact that it was discounted has not influenced my opinion of the product in any way.

Disclaimer: I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest review. Obviously I can’t comment on this trimmers long term use, but it comes with a 12 months warranty and, for now, it certainly seems to be all I want and need in a hedge trimmer. In fact, there was even 5 pairs of earplugs included in the box. I enjoy providing potential purchasers with my thoughts and experiences to (hopefully) help them to make an informed decision about a product they are considering buying.

The blade cover completely surrounds the blade. Due to the time of year it has not been possible to give this trimmer a good enough go to see how long the battery lasts, and I didn’t use it long enough to discharge the battery - to see how long it takes to charge.

When not in use, the cutting blades are protected by a plastic, one way fitting, sheath. I don’t actually have any hedges, but neighbours’ bushes and trees hang annoyingly over my boundaries, dropping their leaves and blossom in my tiny garden, so I have been trimming them for over 20 years with an ancient corded trimmer that has a broken handle and a join in the electric cable.

The ease of use was fantastic, just like a hot knife through butter. For the past 9 years I've had to nag my husband to borrow his father's hedge trimmer when I wanted ours cut. The manual covers the usual warnings, battery charging and installation/removal, operation, advice on working position and methods of use, aftercare, cleaning and blade maintenance, troubleshooting, and ‘end of life’ disposal information instructions.
