The wife is of the opinion we should get a Stihl HL100 petrol long reach
hedge trimmer. Does anyone use one and can give me an opinion on this
product? It's a lot of money to spend but I can see it will make cutting
the hedges quicker and easier

I would strongly recommend you to rent one first from a hire place,
especially if your wife is planning to use it herself. That way you'll
soon find out if either of you has enough upper-body muscle/back
strength and stamina, to support and manouevre it long enough to cut the
hedge.
