Customer Review: Superb machine
This is everything I would expect from Bosch. Firstly it is so straightforward to assemble from the box. Secondly it is a dream to use, – much quieter than any other we’ve used or seen in action and soooo effective in producing compostable or mulching material from wet or dry prunings, right up to 40mm in diameter. On the odd occasion it may clog up, the reverse motor facility clears it in a trice. Alternatively, if too much ‘wet’ material accumulates around the blade, just push through some dry, harder stalks / branches to quickly clear. Thirdly, the build quality is excellent and it is very stable in action without being so heavy and therefore difficult to move before & after use. Indeed it is easily moved by my slightly built wife. If you buy this machine, you could like us enjoy using it so much you may even be disappointed at how fast the vegetation you’ve pruned is gobbled up and then go hunting for more!
Customer Review: A doddle to use!
Even the instructions for getting the thing out off the box are well thought out.Assembly is straight forward.It seems to be well built,it is built in Germany(it says so on the box).Strange that their labour costs don`t stop them from manufacturing in their home country!The stop/start buttons could be bigger.Mine came with the bag.This does not fit very well on the two “hooks” on the machine,so certainly don`t buy one.Much better to use/buy a plastic storage box.Noise.Well the figures stated on Amazon are different to that stated on the box.However,its quieter than my cement mixer which is rated at 85db!Even when chomping its way through 3-4cm “branches”.So noise ,don`t worry about it.How good does it do the job? Well it eats it way through anything that goes through the slot. However,I`m pleasantly surprised at how well it chops up leafy,thin twiggy material.Every now and then it needs a woody branch to clean the cutting drum.Is it worth the money? Well it doesn`t require a huge leap of imagination to realise that something spinning at 1000`s RPM is noisey. This turns a leisurely 40 RPM, does a very good job, you can carry on a conversation at the same time and once you get the branch started ,it feeds itself.What more do want? Robert Bosch,I want a discount on a hedge trimmer I will probably buy from you!
