NETTA Cordless Pole Hedge Trimmer 20V - 510mm Diamond Cutting Blade - 16mm Tooth Opening - 2.4m Long Reach Telescopic Pole Handle - 150° Angle Changing Head

A really good hedge trimmer for it' size and weight. The battery lasts longer than I thought possible as its quite small. If you're looking for a hedge trimmer that is not too heavy, well made and performs well I highly recommend this product

For a cordless pole hedge trimmer under £100, this is actually hard to beat. Battery life is excellent compared to what some people on here have said and its cutting ability pretty good. It so nearly gets a 5 star, but it has one let down that for me drops the score. I only bought it because DeWalt that I normally use don't do a pole trimmer and the Bosch that I was going to buy at twice the price had gone from next day delivery to sometime in about a month over a space of just 36 hours, and having parted company with our gardener who used to do this for us, I needed to cut the hedge before it got completely out of hand.So first its positives. For a battery that is tiny, it took only two full charges to completely trim a 250 ft, 10 ft high mixed hedge. It gave me about 1hr 30 on the first charge which was enough to do all of the sides and then after less than an hour on charge gave me another 1 hr 15 which was enough to do the top (which is ~ 6 ft across). At the end of that the battery level indicator still read 2 bar so I reckon there was another 20-30 mins left.Its cutting power is pretty good. Technically it will cut through 14 mm as per the specifications but only if the 14 mm is something really soft. The teeth will open that far but it doesn't have enough grunt to cut through 14 mm of wood stem. I think the best I managed in a single cut was about 8 mm but by working gently from the side I got it through about 12 mm or so. It went through the upper stems of the hedge like a knife through butter; in fact the only bit that it really struggled with was some bind weed that was all entangled into about 6 ft of the hedge at one end and although it cut through, it was all interlinked and wouldn't easily fall away.At minimum length, it's easy to use and anyone with half reasonable fitness will be able to swing it around all day. At full extension however it is quite heavy and unwieldy, but then so are all pole hedge trimmers. It's got a dirty great electric motor and 0.5 m of cutting blade on the end of nearly 2 m of extension pole, so yes, it's going to be a wee bit heavy. That wouldn't in itself be an issue, if the shoulder strap worked, but it is useless. As soon as any weight comes on it it just slips down to full extension and takes none of the weight. Is it a major issue? Not once you work out how long it needs to be and then run it through a sewing machine with a gate stitch and fix it in place, but that assumes that only one person is going to use it and you shouldn't need to do it.So it's a shame that the strap that probably only cost £1 or so to make lets the overall product down, but for everything else its certainly a very worthwhile purchase.

Unfortunately, it does what is says on the box, it is a hedge cutter for high level. Well made and fits together, although a a little heavy. But it must be used with the extended handle - the cutter section cannot be used on its own. Regretfully, I had to return it.

Like all cordless hedge trimmers this one is heavy, but then all cordless trimmers are. Power from the 20 volt battery is excellent you can trim a very long hedge on one charge, and it soon charges up on it's dedicated charger, it's almost as powerful as my corded hedge trimmer it cuts well and extends and the head can be turned to cut the top of the hedge. What a bargain cheaper than any cordless trimmer I could find and almost all of them you had to buy a battery and charger for them. Everything is in the box when you get it and the instructions are very good.Out of 10 I'll give this 9 I have never given a 9 befour.

ALL GOOD

I purchased this hedge trimmer in the recent Amazon Prime sales and as such secured the product at less than £70 which I was very pleased with.I need a hedge trimmer that had a good height for some very tall bushes and this product meets the need. It has a very high reach of 2.4m, this coupled with standing on some steps was great for what I needed.The head it's self has a few angle choices which are very handy but equally easy to select with a button style mechanism.It comes with a shoulder strap to support with the weight but I've not actually been able to figure out a way to configure the strap that it actually takes some of the weight off your arms. Maybe if its user error or maybe its a poor strap anchor point.Without the strap being effective it is a very heavy unit to keep over head for long. I am of good physical health and consider myself "pretty strong" but even I struggled with any more than 15 minutes of over head use.In my opinion a D style handle further down the shaft would be very helpful to a) improve dexterity but b) offer a hand hold point to spread the weight.The battery is good, charges very quickly and takes a long time to drain. I was worried one battery wasn't enough but so far it hasn't been an issue.The listing states that it can cut upto 16mm branches but I've not found this to be the case. Anything more than 10mm i have found that the cutting tooth jam and lock the blades in place. It can be difficult to remove and at one point I just had to use brute force as the motor physical couldn't cut to free the blade.Even with the few issues mentioned, I feel I have got a good product for the very reasonable price paid.* I would highly recommend use of eye and ear protection during use.

Does the job value for money nice piece of equipment, can get heavy after a while, wish they did attachments but very happy.

La parte de corte es muy pesada y debería tener alguna agarradera superior para facilitar su uso. Ello la hace incomoda de trabajar aunque funciona correctamente. El interruptor de marcha debería estar situado en la parte superior ya que la situación actual, ya que junto a la batería, obliga a trabajar desde muy atrás lo que hace que el peso este muy adelantado y por ello realizar mucho esfuerzo para mantenerla en el aire para cortar. No la recomendaría para personas no excesivamente fuertes. Otro inconveniente es que el cargador de batería viene con enchufe ingles y hay que buscarse la vida para encontrar un adaptador , lo que es difícil en España, o cortar el cable y añadir un enchufe EU adecuado, con la posible perdida de garantía. El vendedor propuso una pequeña compensación económica por ello, pero no la ha materializado. Es lo que hay
