The low weight of the hedge trimmer AHS 35-15 LI (according to instructions 1.9 Kg) is a surprise and a huge relief: The manual tools that we have used so far, are more severe, and because the work thus takes so much longer, feel to the weight of a lot more. Lame arms with the AHS 35-15 story!
The AHS 35-15 LI provides first look dangerous, with her long cutting sword (called that?), But it consists only in operation when not only the on / off button is pressed, but at the same time the center grip. So you work with both hands, and that feels exactly right and balanced on. Can turn on accidentally as they actually do not.
I can not stand when working cables, the garden again less, so came just a battery tool in question. Only I was curious: How long do 10.8 volt battery?
Even with the start charging to let our about 1.60 high, 1.20 wide boxwood get in shape. And not, as previously, in some, but just as boxwood-spherical, as we had imagined it in the best case. Quick, easy and totally enjoyable.
According to the manual, you can work with the batteries are fully charged for 50 minutes.
Young branches are no problem for the AHS 35-15 LI, in older, thicker, it may happen that the gap a moment long can feel some resistance, but this is minimal and ultimately ineffective: Chopped they are also impeccable.
Trimming the big Buchsbaumkugel lasted approximately 25 minutes, and as beautiful as now it has never been.
Tentatively we have a beech hedge, cut a rhododendron and various other shrubs, and it worked every time without any problems. The complete works are still pending when the growth is slightly more advanced. Should then be to supplement a little, I would add an additional comment.
I am definitely very excited about the AHS 35-15 LI, although I have to admit, of course, that I'm not spoiled by our heavy, rusty hand hedge trimmer: The we are now into retirement.
Another plus of the AHS 35-15 LI is the fact that your battery with the same tools Bosch 10.8 volt battery family is compatible. This includes the time an even larger hedge trimmer, then a multi-sanders, one or two battery (drilling) screwdriver, a hammer drill soon, a kind Multisaw and much more. This saves the one or the other tools or garden equipment purchase either battery and charging station, or you have then the same spare batteries and has to wait rare until a battery is charged.
According to the manual, the charging time is 180 minutes, but if you just have to cut a little bit, you can also charge the battery can be loaded only half an hour. Lithium-ion batteries This dates. How long he can recharge after work, then yes really matter.
I move now anyway more often for gardening on. :-)
