Cheapest hedge trimmer thats recommended - good time of year to buy
Looking for a cheap hedge trimmer that works reasonably well.
Not looking to invest heavily in something I will only use twice a year. Any recommendations? Any vouchers currently available? Any recommended buying times of the year? Thanx. AMO |

AMO Hi there, We use an old electric hedge cutter made by Black & Decker ( it is really an adapted drill ) and it works. Not too heavy, no fuel to mix, cheap to buy ( not sure of price as it was a present), chops through Privet up to half inch and only needs a drop of oil on the blades once a year. If you have real hedges then you may need something else! Regards JOE |

How much was it? I am looking at a few items from Argos which are on offer at the moment: 270/0030 - Challenge Xtreme Cordless Hedge Trimmer - £39.99 (save £10) 720/0047 - Challenge Xtreme Hedge Trimmer - £24.99 (save £5) 1. Are Challenge Xtreme Hedge Trimmers any good? 2. Are these hedge trimmers cheaper than the B&Q one you have? 3. Are cordless ones any good or do they lack power? Thanx. AMO |

I've bought a cordless because the hassle of getting power down to the garden is sufficient to quell any urge to cut the hedge. It won't get through thick stuff - OK up to about a centimetre - but I've been impressed by how long the battery has lasted between charges - more than enough to do about 20 ft of 6ft high hedge, which is as much as I want to do in one go. Mine was a cheap model from Focus. -- Kay "Do not insult the crocodile until you have crossed the river" |

Mine is corded but then I am happy to use a corded with an extention lead as I imagine a cordless one would run down just before you got to the last part , leaving it untidy until you recharged and finished the job. In my case I hate the job so want to do it all in one go when I am in the mood. |
