I am a brand loyal customer when it comes to Bosch products. I have a Bosch washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, drill etc etc, and I have the Bosch Rotak 43 Ergoflex Lawnmower, which is by far the best lawnmower I have ever owned, and I've owned a few, electric and petrol.I have also owned a couple of Bosch grass trimmers. What the heck were they thinking? The Easytrim 23 was probably the worst excuse of a grass trimmer ever available! Fair dooze to Amazon though, they accepted it back and refunded my hard earned without question. So it was with trepidation that I ordered the new Bosch offering, the ART 35 Heavy Duty.My previous Easytrim wouldn't have even knocked the clocks off a dandelion.

It's a great strimmer in every respect except for one big problem, which was why I originally gave this ONE star. .Why? Well, after two decent but not outrageously arduous strims the cord ran out. Trying to put new cord into the strimmer spool with NO guidance from the manual (or the internet) was a nightmare. I tried twice with 1.5mm nylon line and, cut a long story short, both times the gubbins eviscerated itself within 5 seconds and I ended up picking up little strips of line varying in length from 1mm to 20mm all over that patch of the garden!BUT, here's how you do it: Remove red cap to access spool. Pull out spool. There are two layers, one for each line. Take a 70cm length of 1.5mm nylon line.

I've never had an electric hedge trimmer before but it's a hell of an upgrade from a pair of pruning shears! It took minutes to accomplish a job I was painstakingly completing in hours and the result was more even and tidier. I wish I'd bought one years ago. For something so heavy duty it's capable of quite refined cutting as long as you skim it over the surface rather than trying to take off too much in one go. I found it best to use it across the whole surface of the plant in sweeping arcs, the constant movement also meant I was changing position regularly and it was less tiring as it's quite heavy to wield although the weight is well balanced. However, I found it much less tiring than using shears.

We recently moved into our new house, and the previous owner had neglected the garden somewhat, and there were some fairly hefty weeds and brambles that needed a good seeing to.My old strimmer was just not up to the job, and my overgrown garden simple laughed at its fairly pathetic attempts to tame it.I didn't really want to go down the petrol route, as a number of my friends have ... and spend a great deal of time swearing, but wanted something that would cope with the worst of my requirement, but did not feel like I am having a gym session every time I used it.The ART 35 was very easy to assemble, looks to be robust enough to provide years of service, works well, is comfortable to use,

Great for the price, easy to set up and use, however still has the problem with the cable release system, as commonly found on all these automated release cable bush cutters. A better brand that doesn't melt (the cable that comes with it fuses together and causes problems separating). A shorter cable also reduces this problem.The over body strap balances the unit well, and this is important when using the trimmer for more than 40 minutes as the unit becomes heavier in use and causes fatigue.The power cable is shockingly short. I wonder if this was deliberate so that you would buy the wireless version (selling at almost 3 times the price). A simple reel power extension cable remedies this,

I bought this in desperation having tried and failed to get our petrol strimmer going and the weeds and brambles were out of control. I selected this model even though it was very new to the market and there was only one review at the time as it was claimed to be heavy duty. I was very pleased with the power of it which overcame the obvious inconvenience of an extension cable to haul around a large garden.My one single disappointment was the "bump & feed" business end. The line itself has a maximum diameter of 1.6 cm - not very thick and wears down quickly but the main problem is getting it wound evenly which is fiddly, time consuming and not successful 9 times out of 10.

After lots of research I decided to purchase the Bosch hedge trimmer with 45cm blade and I am pleased I did. It is a great trimmer - 45cm cuts a really large area in one go. I did debate the 60cm blade but having used the 45 cm one, I do wonder if the extra length would have made it slightly unweildy. One of the main things is that this unit is light enough to be able to handle. The blades are sharp, really sharp, and make light work of the hedges. Being electric, it is a little bit quieter than a petrol version and you don't have to worry about running out of fuel half way through the job.I found the cable to be long enough for my needs as I plugged the trimmer into an extension lead.

i had reserved a hedge trimmer at bishopbriggs retail park store, when i went to get it i had forgotten to take the reservation number.... the store was busy when i called and a queue had formed at the order and pay part..... once it was brought to the attention of staff that there was no one acknowledge-ing the waiting clients someone did finally come over, when i explained my situation although the member of staff was under pressure , and had apologised for the delay he went out his way to try and find the order and he even went to a manager to seek his assistance after a bit we finally got everything resolved and i came away with my product...... The service when i received it could not have been faulted...

Bought this on Black Friday so super happy with the price i paid.I used to have a small flymo strimmer which was great for borders but not up to hacking down the 125 sq meter jungle that had grown in the house i just moved into.Ordered this ready for next spring/summer and I've used it for the past 6 months. At first was a bit difficult to get to grips with. the strap makes it a lot easier to carry and makes for lighter work.After about the 3rd/4th time of using its now a lot easier to use. plus everythung is manageable menaing i've reduced the cutting time down to around 25 minutes to cut 150 square meter area (including incline) I've had to change the strimming wire and I've got the stronger option available,

Bought this to tackle a garden that had been neglected for some time. I have what I would see as a medium sized garden and the area strimmed featured waist high grass and various brambles and weed. This thing did the job, but at times, especially when used to a low level in the brambles you could hear the motor struggling, the solution is just to make sure you move the strimmer slower through the brambles.Only issue I had was the strimmer line broke on the first day of use, I would probably put this down to me basically cutting my entire garden of brambles in one go and somewhat abusing it by trying to strim through thick brambles 1/4 inch wide.

OK so "A cut above the rest" is a bit of a corny title. It has to be said its true. This Bosch Hedge cutter is just great and I find it hard to criticize its design or capability to do the job it was intended for. I have never owned a electric cutter before, thought I could make a much nicer job of trimming the few bushes I have in my garden. Its fairly light to handle, cuts with ease and used with care very safe. I nearly purchased a much inferior make and even looked at 2nd hand, but with Amazons amazing deals buying new was only a few pounds more. I Would recommend this cutter as I would be surprised if you could get any better results by paying more.

I chose this hedgecutter for 2 reasons. Firstly, I have a fondness for Bosch products as I feel they are good quality and, in my experience, long-lasting. Secondly, having read the reviews, it seemed perfect for my requirements. It's everything I expected. I was confident that I would be able to use it easily, but asked a friend to try it for me in the first instance, as I felt a little tutorial wouldn't hurt. After trimming a few shrubs, my friend said the hedgecutter was a delight to use, and not at all heavy. I too, from a female perspective, am happy that it's not a heavy machine. I also bought the Bosch lubricant on the recommendation of others, and once the trimming was done,

Bought this to make my gardening easier as we have a number of bushes that had started to get a bit out of control.Works well, and has no problem cutting through small bush branches (maybe 5mm or slightly more). Have had it cut through 1cm but had to persist and it probably isn't good for the blade.This loses a star because it isn't particularly comfortable to hold for extended periods. It isn't a natural position I don't think. You have to hold down two buttons to operate it (safety feature) - I am right-handed, and hold the rear handle with my left, and the front handle with my right so I can steer/apply pressure etc. It would be nice it the front switch locked "on" as that would make it so much easier,

Got this to use on hedge and another assorted plants in the garden.Very pleased with it. First impression is that it's nice and lightweight - which is obviously very important for long sections of hedge, especially anything that is quite high up, as you can be holding it above your hedge for a long period of time. So it scores well on that front.The trimming blade seems a good size - I feel if it was longer it would be unwieldy, but shorter would be too short, so happy with the size.The mechanism seems powerful enough too - made very short work of a leylandii in our back garden, but also of some heavier duty bushes that were growing against a wall - so it's capable of more than just basic hedges.In summary,

I chose this size hedge cutter because i did not see the point in ordering one that was too heavy or large for me to use, i am thrilled that my first experience using one has been so sucessful!, my privet and fir hedge looked great...if i do say so myself..and my neighbours and husbund have commented at how good it looks.Very easy to use....no instructions included as to how to start! but... i worked it out.. yeah ! maybe i was being abit "blonde".. but having never owned one before, or EVER used one, i was delighted that i started it, and used it to tremendous effect.I am very, very happy with my purchase.Who needs a husband when you can have one of these !!
