Ozito PXCHTK-218

unbelievable – I think I must have had this hedger for well over 5 years and have used it constantly. I'm shocking at looking after tools and yet this budget product keeps just going and going. The batteries have survived too. I'm a 71 year old woman and its just so light and easy. Wish the pole hedger was as light...but this is beyond value for money. Show details

Impressed by its performance – Used the battery hedge trimmer PXCHTK-218 today and delighted with its performance. The battery life surprised me only stopping it to clean up all the branches I’d cut down. Lightweight and easy to handle as I have a petrol unit which is heavy and reluctant to use it. I’d recommend this unit to anyone looking to purchase a hedge trimmer Show details

Excellent tool for the job – I have a small garden with a short hedge, a couple a bushes and 3 small trees, all of which need the occasional trim, nothing extreme or strenuous. This tool does that job perfectly. It's light, safe and strong enough for that occasional trim. The rechargeable battery has an LED indicator to tell you how much charge is left, I have to charge it… Read more

approximately every 2 months and I've had it around a 18 months, and it charges very quickly, I haven't timed it. For what I want, it's perfect.

Just as a footnote, until 2 years ago I worked as a professional gardener in the UK. Lots of hedges and big shrubs with lots of growth. I used heavy duty STIHL petrol machines, it's what was needed but you paid the money. There's no need to be butch about it, buy the tool you need at the price you need to pay.

Perfect for our hedges – We have pittosporum hedges 2 metres high on both sides of the property, one along the drive of about 25 metres and the other along the other side fence of 20 metres. With each of these using the hand clippers and secateurs would take 3 to 4 hours to prune and another hour to clean up. With the Ozito hedge trimmer pruning takes a couple of hours… Read more

each including raking up. It's neater the way it sweeps off the top and the sides are a breeze. The battery is long lasting and interchangeable with the lawn trimmer (whipper snipper) and the two make a good gardening pair. If Ozito would make a cordless vacuum cleaner I would be one of the first to buy.

Very happy with the trimmer – I've attacked/trimmed a number of different hedge types with this trimmer. Photinia, honeysuckle and privet it has performed really well on all. It has struggled a bit on the dense Photinia wood over 6mm diameter, but it is dense, hard wood. For the rest it's great, a light, easy to use tool.  Show details

I want more . . ! – This is an early post-purchase review. I don't know about longevity and reliability yet. The warranty is good. You know you've found a good tool when you've finished the task you got it for and and then go around looking for something else to use it on. Suddenly, it looked like every plant in the garden could use a bit of trimming, but I… Read more

cleaned it up and put it away before I levelled the whole garden to stubble. 'Later, aggies. This trimmer is super light and easy to use (I'm neither young nor strong), and it's also very quiet, so you won't get gimlet eyes from the neighbours for trimming your stuff at unsociable hours. Not enormous so easier to store, this is ideal for unit owners.
