VonHausPole Hedge Trimmer & Chainsaw 2 in 1 750W – Electric Extendable Reach 2.4m Cutter for Hedges, Bushes, Branches, Shrubs, Twigs – Comes with Blade Cover, 10m Cable, Harness & More

Just bought one of these. Arrived a day early.Easy to assemble with a bit of common sense. Never had a chainsaw before and you need to assemble the chain mechanism, but simple enough.Very sturdy, well made and has a really robust feel to it.Yes, it is a little bit heavy when fully extended but all of these things are because the motor for the tools is at the far end of the extension. If you wear the harness properly it is more than bearable.I have tried the saw and it comfortably went through a 3 inch diameter branch, like a knife through butter.Mainly used the hedge trimmer this afternoon and it did everything I asked of it. I have done a job today that took me 1 hour. Last year it took me 6 hours up and down ladders. I have also been able to reach parts of a riverbank in my garden that have never been touched.If this is the type of tool you are researching, then dont waste any more time. BUY THIS ONE.

robustly built ... value for money ...2 issues though1) cant operate without extension pole so cant reach hedges close to your body.. have to drop back.2) top heavy as motors are at the top .. so cant extend your hands for reaching extra height (dropped my chainsaw twice as couldn't hold on after extending my arms)but overall a nice buy

Got at least 30 Leylandi in back garden which had grown to at least 25ft...Used a hand saw and sheers for years to trim them which took a lifetime ☹️ Now I can chop them down to a reasonable height and chop up the waste in no time 😁 ... FANTASTIC BIT OF KIT 👍🏻

Love this tool. Yes it's heavy but it does a great job. Very impressed.

I really wanted to like this product as I thought having corded version would allow bit of extra power to slice through the branches quicker. I had cordless before and the weight was all in the battery, nearest the body, so you could manoeuvre the trimmer precisely. Ive just found the corded version to be unwieldy for my body to cope with. It's made things more time consuming as I have to rest between stints.I'm fairly fit and strong and am very used to trimming and lopping branches (used on conifer and hawthorn). But I do struggle with all the weight of the motor being further forward. I feel like i'm blindly moving the trimmer just hoping it will make contact with something. I can't focus on where to cut because I'm concentrating so much on just balancing the thing upright. I've given an overall 3 star, could even say 4 because it certainly does do the job its intended for and is a decent cut on the trimmer (haven't tried the chainsaw element). It seems to cope with 12 mm branches very easily. It's well made. Bit fiddly to initially put together as it's nuts and bolts. Hence the low stars on this review as i'm comparing it with what ive been used to previously. It doesn't make it a bad device, I just think I would revert back to cordless which I find much lighter, easier to move about, and still managed to cut same thickness this does, so power wise i see no advantage for me to have corded.

Bought this as borrowed my neighbours when my old hedge trimmer packed up and went online and ordered straight away as was very impressed with it. Easy to assemble and comes with harness for doing long range cutting. Well made and good quality would highly recommend and good price

This tool is really good. My mum needed a tool that she would be able to use to cut things too high up and to be able to cut branches off stuff however, she really struggles holding and lifting and tools due age and a bad back, so it's been me using this, I quite enjoy using it saves me from having to stand on things to gain height to do a job I can just stand on the floor and extend pole.. I find the weight of the tool pretty reasonable, as a small women I use it fine without difficulty so a larger man should have no problems using there tools. There is some slight assembly when swappingnheads over but nothing too taxing, The chainsaw for its size is pretty good, sturdy and does a good quick cut.. the headge trimmer is brilliant power's through bushes without problem.. I've been mainly cutting conifers but I'm sure it'd do privet just fine. All round really happy.. so is my mum makes like work of the garden and didn't cost the earth.

a very very good machine that works very well -- HOWEVER -- be aware that after the warrantee period they do not supply spares, my pole locking mech has broken, and they do not offer any service of any type except to sell you a new one. They state that if this had happened within the warrantee they would have replaced it, but after 5 years, its just hard luck. So you are buying equipment for a guaranteed working life of 12 months, unless of course its just a replacement blade you need.
