I agree with the previous reviewers to fully and clearly give a buy recommendation. Having already worn some scissors and with the performance of the Bosch - Isio (3.6V) were not really satisfied, the Gardena (7.2 V) fully meets its purpose: It comes without a motor - speed loss by anywhere and has a very good battery - power. I am so far in one step (about 1.5 h) is not nearly the end of the battery - come power. This it creates quite loose without any noticeable reduction in performance. Although it is slightly more cumbersome than the comparable Bosch - devices that significantly higher performance, the simple blade exchange and better battery is for me - performance far more important. The little klobigere design in the grip area is because the Gardena has an adjustable tilt angle in the handle, which you can adjust the most comfortable working position for themselves. Of course, they can also be operated with a telescopic handle. Addendum after 10 months usage: Light blades wear - require regrinding. In the little considerate handling by "hill and dale" but totally OK Keep my reviews always up to date - this refers to a frequent use of the device over a period of 10 months in partly very herbaceous, wet and coarse terrain.
