Gtech LHT50 Lightweight Hedge Trimmer | Cordless | 60 mins Runtime | 7 Head Positions | 14 mm Cutting Width | 10 ft Reach

This purchase wasn't without hassle as the first one arrived and promptly died. Returning it via Evry was a complete pain, firstly I hadn't used my printer for ages and it wouldn't print the bar codes. I rang up Amazon for help to see if I could return it without the codes, yes she said just write the address on and all will be ok! So I did and headed off to shop number one... not taking any Evry parcels that day! Next day shop number two, we got there to find the shop surrounded by police cars, back home again! Shop number three, we managed to park right outside and it was open... huge parcel shoved in their direction until they told me that it really did need those printed bar codes, I was going to have to find someone to print them for me, so back home we go still with the damn trimmer in the car. Finally I did what I should have done to start with and reinstalled my almost new ecotank printer. Labels finally printed off we returned to shop number two and waved goodbye to the dead trimmer.I'd already received my replacement trimmer and it worked beautifully, hedge cutting has never been so easy and I would recommend this machine as it is much lighter than others in its price range.A word on returns, you only have a limited time to return the faulty goods or you end up paying for both of them, which is why we were in such a hurry to send the broken one back.

Impressive battery power and super-easy to use. Great features and flexible holding positions, very ergonomic. No fuel consumption, eco-friendly and safe. Cutting blades really only good for single use but cheap and easy to buy more as needed. The blades are so much less hassle than traditional coil-strimmers. Not suitable for very heavy cutting/use in rough ground, but perfect for the garden and basic grass strimming/edging. Highly recommend.

This is a decent hedge/tree trimmer. It is relatively light in weight, but with a long reach, so is less tiring to use when reaching up to high branches. It seems durable (though I have used it only a couple of times).Please be aware that the handle comes in three sections, and can only be assembled with all three sections in place. That means that if you are at the top of a tree, trying to trim branches close to you, it is difficult because the trimmer is so long. I can't see why the design forces this - it would be better to allow the middle section to be removed to convert it to a short-reach trimmer when required.

I have had this hedge cutter for a year. It is so much lighter and easier to use than my old long reach petrol one and cuts well although doesn’t have the power to cut larger branches. I am in my 70’s and it’s used mainly for this year’s growth on hedges and topiary. This week it started making an unusual clattering noise intermittently and wouldn’t cut. I phoned GTech and was amazed by the support I received. Daniel told me it was probably the blades and as I was comfortably within the 2 year warranty period he would send me a new set. He added that if that didn’t work, I should phone him again and he would send a new motor. The blades arrived the next day, were clipped on in seconds and it is working beautifully again. Great service!

Had problems with it at first (just stopped turning on after a month), but the Gtech support was exquisite! Well designed, easy to maneuver, can cut brambles of you go slow enough. Battery lasts about 45 min for every 4h charging cycle.

This is the worst garden product I have bought in 50 years. The battery is a struggle to remove from the strimmer in order to charge, the battery lasts about 20mins and the blades 5 mins. The build quality is poor.

Not a bad tool, battery lasts well and reasonable cutting. As Mentioned by others, fixed length, so only good for cutting tops of hedges NOT for cutting close to you sides etc. Lightweight when using straight up but becomes a bit heavy when tilting away from the centre of gravity as all the weight is at the top. Trigger button becomes difficult to operate when you hand gets tired. Personally, i use this for the top of hedges and my conventional electric one for everthing else.

Easy to. assemble battery holds plenty of power very sturdy strimmer
