Hedge trimmers for home gardens and grounds maintenance, from compact cordless hedge cutters to long-reach telescopic and pole models. The collection is mostly battery powered, with one corded electric hedge trimmer for smaller gardens, and it suits anyone keeping hedges, shrubs and topiary in shape without petrol. Brands stocked are Einhell, Makita and DeWalt.
Choosing a hedge trimmer
- Blade length. Einhell models run from 40cm on the GC-CH 18/40 up to 65cm on the GE-CH 36/65, with the Makita DUH523Z at 52cm. Longer blades cover a hedge faster but are heavier to hold level.
- Voltage. Einhell 18V Power X-Change trimmers handle normal garden hedges. Step up to 36V on the Einhell GE-CH 36/61 and 36/65 or Makita DUH651Z for thicker growth, and the DeWalt DCMHT573N runs on 54V FlexVolt for the heaviest work.
- Reach. The Einhell GC-HH 18/45 and GP-HH 18/50 telescopic trimmers and the DeWalt DCMPH566N pole hedge trimmer reach tall hedges from the ground.
- Small jobs. Einhell cordless grass and bush shears handle edging and shrub shaping where a full trimmer is overkill.
Cordless hedge trimmer or electric hedge trimmer?
A corded electric hedge trimmer like the Einhell GC-EH 4550 costs less and never needs charging, but you are tied to an extension lead. Cordless models are sold as bare tools, so one battery can run your hedge trimmer, blower and trimmer together. Browse the rest of the Einhell garden tools range, add power from Einhell batteries, and see string trimmers for the edges.
