AHS 60-16

Hedgecutter exactly as advertised - and my hedge is now nice and back under some form of manageable control! :) - 9/10. Description on the website, as is the case with all Bosch equipment, stunningly accurate - 8/10 Works well for trimming hedges, is nice and light and easy to operate, even on higher hedges (above head height) - 9/10. Even cuts through (with some patience and careful manoeuvring), tough branches which are a little thicker than the advertised cutting capacity - 8/10 Easy to set up, easy to use - no complaints about the hedge cutter at all - 9/10 Value for money - 9/10 (One minor gripe did exist on the side of fulfilment and delivery, but that is a problem that was strictly down to the courier in question, and has been dealt with directly with Amazon and a visit by me to the courier company. Rating of the courier company - 0/10, but as I have stated, this was dealt with separately. This review is purely about the hedge cutter itself).

Product arrived within specified time period. Other reviewers have commented on the packaging. I found it well packaged and the packaging was undamaged. There was no damage to the blade. In spite of having a longer than usual blade it is reasonably light. For safety reasons it requires a two handed operation which I think is common to all hedge trimmers. It is noticeably quieter than my previous trimmer (not a Bosch) and cuts well. It does not cut thick stems - for that you would need its big brother but for the size of stems for which it is designed, it works very well and is not too heavy to handle. Length of cable is quite adequate. If it were significantly shorter, it would be too short but if it were much longer then it it be too long to coil round the handle when not in use. Hence overall no hesitation in giving five stars.

The ideal trimmer for medium sized gardens when you are bored of the battery life running out too fast on your rechargable version! As you'd expect Bosch make a sturdy and excellent trimmer and it gets through pretty much everything. My only criticism is that the cable does flap around and I'm terrified of cutting through it (inevitable!) and I wish they could design the system so it was less easy to do so - maybe some kind of light body harness that keeps it out of the way?

I researched this trimmer widely on the internet and in Which? through my local library and it does very well. I have also used Bosch products extensively in my household. So it came as no surprise that it looks and works well out of the box. The trimming season has not really started yet, so I cannot comment on longer term use, but expect it to do very well. For its length it is light and easy to handle. My one complaint concerns the box used for postage. This is simply the display box as used in stores, with no added protection either inside or outside. The hedgecutter had come adrift inside the box and had obviously been thrashing about. The box was torn over a good length of its side. Although no damage was detectable to the hedgecutter, I really think that suppliers should improve the packing of this fine garden implement for despatch.

I bought this mainly to speed up my hedge triming ritual. I've been using good old manual hedge shears which I do like however the process can be a bit slow. These Bosch hedge trimmers have saved my life. My hedges have never looked as good and were completed in a quarter of the time. The trimmer isnt the lightest but it seems very capable of doing what I need of it. My hedges are mainly Berberis so it copes very well with these and also I found that my hands weren't as scratched with the spines of the hedge. I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Brilliant. Two years ago I bought an extendable hedge cutter made by Eckman. It was tiring to use as the motor was right at the end of the extended arm. After two years, and about eight usages (not overdone) the motor conked out. I complained to Eckman who sid that they could do nothing it. I asked if they had a service place nearby me, but no.... just offered a new one at full price. In contrast this Bosch machine is easy to use, fairly light and cuts like a knife through butter. It has quite a long blade too. I think the powerful motor is party the key to its success. This machine has a two year warranty. Terry Smith.

Our previous hedge trimmer kept jamming up & eventually the motor burnt out. We have a lot of privet hedge to trim, so we researched all the available trimmers in the price range we wanted. We settled on this Bosch one & are very pleased with it. It has never jammed up and gives a longer cutting range with the 60cm blades. It is slightly heavier than our previous one but the ergonomic design of the handle, makes it easier to handle. After ordering it, we received it very promptly and were able to track the package very precisely. We would recommend this model.

Bought this as a lightweight stopgap alternative to a petrol trimmer I have which I am unable to use at the moment due to a back injury, very pleased with it so far, well balanced, lightweight machine with a good length blade at a very good price, obviously not as powerful as the petrol unit which I knew it would be but makes a good neat job and just need to have secateurs in back pocket to deal with the odd thicker branch, so on the whole very pleased with my purchase. I've always found bosch tools to be good quality and with a two year guarantee don't think you can go wrong,

Buen Cortasetos de la marca Bosch. Se le ve buenos acabados, no es que sea muy ligero pero cumple su cometido. Tiene dos botones para arrancar en el cual sino pulsas los dos a la vez no funciona. Esto se debe a la mayor seguridad que trae consigo el tener que pulsar los dos botones a la vez , para evitar así que demos a uno sin querer y suframos un percance. Le doy 4 estrellas sobre 5 porque en mi caso venia con enchufe UK. Aparece en la descripción de abajo pero debería aparecer en la de arriba ya que siendo Amazon ES en caso de que no fuera compatible con España lo debería indicar en el titulo del producto para evitar así tener que mirar abajo en la descripción.

Die Heckenschere war günstig, aber was wir nicht gesehen hatte, war, dass der Stecker nicht in deutsch Dosen passt. Haben neuen Stecker montiert und das Problem gelöst.

Bosch AHS 60-16, Tagliasiepi elettrico . . . . ottimo acquisto a un buon prezzo . . . . . .

Das Gerät hat einen US-Stecker, kann also in EU nicht unmittelbar verwendet werden. Eine von Amazon zugesagte Gutschrift erfolgte NICHT. Den benötigten Adapter kann man allerdings im Internet günstig kaufen, zum Beispiel bei Reichelt. Das Gerät an sich ist BOSCH-Qualität, an der ich noch nie was auszusetzen hatte.
