Had acquired the Einhell hedge trimmer in Oct. 2010, and am very satisfied. For less than 60 EUR the gap provides a very good value for money. The average power horizontally and vertically are very good. The scissors will stop only with very thick branches (> 20 mm). The handling of the rotatable handle is easy, sometimes it stuck a little. I could no elevated temperatures (as read in other reports) notice. The volume is alright. There will certainly be quieter, but in my opinion to keep the volume under. The rotatable handle has not been solved with me "by itself", as was partially read in other reports. With the cable guide, I was not entirely happy, because this is not shifted far enough to the rear and thus could pose a danger. These things I have changed but with cable ties itself and therefore did not have a "cable cutting". Overall I would recommend the hedge trimmer for amateur gardeners with occasional use!
