The weight is perfectly clear and can be difficult in any case! The Bosch AHS 70-34 is in spite of the 70cm long blade very handy and in comparison to its predecessor with me, a Metabo HS 55 (400Watt at 55cm length and 3.7 kg) - in Warentest number 2 behind this Bosch AHS 70, imperceptibly (100g) heavier.
The Bosch AHS 70-34 draws for electric scissors and cuts through even saaaaaaaaagenhaft 3-4 cm thick branches easily by. Yeah ... Is not this fun !!!!
What makes them for me, unlike my Metabo HS 55 outstanding, is the switch-off when jamming or stoppage of the sheet!
My Matabo HS55 was getting hotter and went out through the damage to the engine, lack of automatic, after 20-30 minutes of operation and stuttered ... never again ... Metabo, never again without shutdown, and the 700 Watts!
The criticized by some readers' bad cut image "or the" Volume "I can not confirm when compared to Metabo. No comparison. The "Startup weakness" does not precipitating role for me! I WANT TO ELECTRICAL HEDGE CUTTING AND ALTHOUGH WITHOUT jagged and strength training, ear protection and gasoline STINK!
Yep, the price is steep, but I am thrilled and have finally a strong hedge trimmer with long and light sheet and with automatic shutoff ... what do you (s) more -?!)))
So makes hedge trimming mood and a whopping buy recommendation with fun !!!
SUPPLEMENT 28/06/2014:
My 75m yew hedge with 2m height was finished incredibly fast. Where else had 2x cut thicker branches or disabled the cutting process and the hedge trimmer stopped, walked over it in a single operation. Wutsch!
Yeah, an extra bonus to get the 700 Watt with switch-off and especially the 70cm laaaaaaaaaaaange sheet. Unfortunately Supergeil !!!
