Actually, I've been looking for a robust brand hedge trimmer, because I had no desire for any cheap part that I will break after the second use. I bought this hedge trimmer due to good reviews and can only agree with this. Comparing the product with a corresponding Husqvarna engine hedge trimmer quickly notice that both models are identical quasi ... they actually differ only in the color of plastic parts ... and of course the price. Operation is simple ... even for me as a woman. However, one needs a little strength and endurance in the arms. The cuts are clean. Even thicker branches can be cut easily with a bit of momentum. In short, the price-performance ratio is more than convincing!
