Bosch GHE 18V-50 TP Professional

Got it in May 2026,tested for 10min and left it on shelf.Today 5 months later trying to do my hedges and it started making loud noises,over heating and locking the blades . Doing very light hedges and couldnt keep up. Send it for warrant since I have 6 years . I have a feeling I will be returning this one many more times.I wouldnt buy it again .

My trusty Stihl HLA56 battery pole pruner finally give up in the middle of cutting some very high hedges. Repairing it was not an option as it literally melted. I wanted a Pole hedger with Brushless motor and a metal motor housing as the bottom of my Stihl was very worn due to the heavy use on prickly hedge material. The Bosch GHE-50TP was the answer and I can honestly say that going 36V for the Stihl made sense at the time, but times have changed the 18v brushless motor has many advantages and I am impressed as it really is that good as well as the telescoping pole extension, built in.The HLA56 has pole extension options .Negatives while I have many 5ah batteries they did not perform as well for heavy and prolonged use. I purchased an 8ah Bosch Procore battery giving more power and incredible run time. Depending on the job I can recommend the pole pruner and if needed the Procore battery is the icing on the cake.
