It's that time of year again. We have hedges all the way around our
garden, a couple of them fairly high, some leylandii, mostly beech, a
few other species.

After about 20 years of looking after these hedges with a succession of
"economical" hedge trimmers I think it's time to treat myself:

What is the BEST make of hedge trimmer available?

snipped

I've had a Viking (Stihl) for a few years :-

Can't fault it - well worth the extra cost over the "economical" trimmers.
Only possible problem - it's a little on the heavy side.

HTH.

I agree with this - Stihl for petrol and Viking for electrically
powered, both are available as standard trimmers or long reach kit.
