Hi Fellow URGlers

Yes I know this stuff can be googled but am after real world opinion!

I have a mixed row of hedging comprising cotoneaster, escallonia,
eleagnus, photinia and ceanothus.
The height is around 2.5m and length about 20m, more of a run of
shrubs being treated as a hedge.

Our old mains Black and Decker corded trimmer is small and old and
we are considering treating ourselves to a new machine.

What I think we need is:
A longer blade
Adjustable length
Angleable head
Probably a bit thicker branch capacity


The concerns:
Machine weight - neither myself or the Mrs are body building types.
Machine "balance" in use.
Cost - not so concerned but want vfm

I am thinking that the weight concern means we should be looking
at corded models still.

Constructive comments and recommendations appreciated.

Phil

Thanks to all for the detailed replies and time taken.
Probably start by looking at the Bosch corded model and comparing
to our current black and decker jobbie for weight.
Being of a certain age and driving a desk for a living, both the
weight of anything and also the requirement to keep two go
buttons pressed will have to be a focus.
