Bosch AHS 70-34 Hedge Trimmer (700 W, 700 mm diameter length, 34 mm tooth spacing, 3.8 kg) (tool)

Customer Review

So far I have my hedges cut with a Florabest of LIDL, which was very easy to handle, but also pushed quickly reach their limits when stronger pruning of hedges is older (much smaller diameter distance, shorter sword, lower performance)
Today I had the first time 70-34 Bosch AHS in use - not purchased from Amazon, because at least in the short term cheaper elsewhere. I rate still here, because where else to look for reviews :-)

First of the restrictions:
The cutting side of the blade protrudes on both sides out only about 19 mm from the "backbone" of the sword. So if you have 18 till 19 mm wide cut in a trunk inside, pushes the "backbone", because it is thicker than the average, and it goes no further. In order to cut through thicker stems / branches, so you must begin again at exactly the same level of the other side, unless the trunk is only slightly thicker and bends so slightly, that the "backbone" does not really triggers. In practice, it creates no new attaching from the opposite side so as to only 2 cm thick, as well as help not supposed sawing function in the front section of the sword. Quote Bosch: "saw teeth at the front region of the knife easily cut branches up to 38 mm in diameter" - this is simply untrue.
If you then want to start from the opposite side, but that's not so easy, because the sword so strong back through the large diameter distance at so thick sections and is torn, that you can not hold exactly at the level it. I then brought the rather large lopper after three attempts, the process is much faster.
And another disadvantage: With the second hand one must press a second switch, so the scissors accidentally starts so the bracket. Here you can depending on the attitude of the gap between 3 switches choose the arrangement is OK, but you have to press too firmly! I work a lot technically and am used "to long", but to me the shears often assumed, because the pressure in my left hand on this switch was too weak / was, and tomorrow my left has probably soreness.

Now for the good points:
Of course, much larger cross-sections, the shear creates despite the limitations described as smaller hedge trimmers, but just not as much as promised. And by the great sword length I create from the top of most hedgerows from one side, which saves an entire work step from the other side.
The hedge trimmer cuts the surfaces very clean, even by my yew hedge, where I previously with cheap scissors always had a time-consuming carnage. Also hornbeam and Ivy went much faster, not only because of the long sword, but also because of the cleaner section.
From an annoying start-up delay, which has been criticized in other reviews, I could not find anything, the gap will start immediately. The weight of the scissors is not a problem when working.

Conclusion: Easy pruning super, heavy pruning in older hedges in the altitude continue when the branches have more than about 2 cm in diameter only with accessory, since the hedge trimmer does not contain what Bosch promises
