Bosch AHS 7000 Pro T Electric Hedge Cutter

My old hedge trimmer (Black and Decker) has a hatch in the handle which allowed you to repair or replace the cable as easily as fitting a plug. This Bosch has to be taken apart by a service engineer to do the same job. Cutting through the cable on a corded garden tool is pretty much inevitable at some point in the tool's life so to have to pay for an engineer and wait for it to be fixed is unacceptable. I am very disappointed by Bosch and won't be buying from them again.

Just bought a new AHS 7000 PRO-T,Had my last 7000 for 6 years clutch seems to have gone, overal it is a beast of a machine,cuts through my 170 foot hedge like a knife through butter,if I get 6 years out of this as I did with my last one I will be a very happy bunny.70cm long blade cuts the work load down imensly if using on a tall or wide hedge.Makes mincemeat out of thick branches when trimming trees and bushes.I would strongly recomend it to anybody thinking about buying an electric hedge trimmer.

Hi everyone - once again i am looking for another one cos it grabbed a thicker branch and done the gears in again - this is the second one that has done this - it states it can cut branches up to 35mm -

yes it will do one but if you accidently cut 2 say good bye to the gears you have been WARNED

I have had a Bosch AHS 7000 Pro T for four to five years. We have two gardens 10m x 5m and 10m x 30 with mainly Berberis, Leylandi, Lonicera and Holly hedges. The Bosch has been used to cut these twice a year, for the Leylandi to keep them down to 2m I have used normal branch cutters on the thicker branches. It did seem pretty heavy especially cutting the Leylandi hedge which is 10m long. This spring it stopped working, why I don't know but on its last cutting mission it just got slower and slower till I had to stop using it. Now it works for a few seconds and then makes a deep droning noise perhaps this is the motors bushes? So four to five years, 2 cuts a year thats a maximum of 10 cuts for £80, - I'm disappointed.

I have had two of these hedge trimmers in the last four years and they have both failed me i think its the clutch inside that burns out.The two year warranty is a joke no one wants to no Bosch give me details of service centres but they are just not interested.

I have AHS 6000 Pro-T model. Same machine as the AHS 7000 but 600 mm blade instead of 700 mm. This tool is powerful and makes hedge cutting easy.

Long blade means less time cutting so the extra weight not a problem. Will cut though some pretty large stuff. Brought at a reduced price at local hardware shop. Excellent value for money. Hope it will last! I needed a hedge trimmer man enough to cut through over grown hedges and leylandi. The 7000 pro T is the tool for the job

Had two previous hedge trimmers before getting this Bosch AHS 7000 Pro T Electric Hedge Cutter one electric which constantly jammed on thicker leylandi branches and one battery which ran down in 15 mins and also couldn't cope with any branch thickness. This Bosch is a revelation in comparison, cut large hedge both sides which was 7 metres long, 2.5 metres high and one metre deep in less than 2 hours. No problems with jamming and gave excellent finish. Bought for £90 in Homebase 10% discount sale. Great purchase.

I read these Bosch AHS 7000 Pro T reviews just after I had bought one of these off Ebay, and I'm glad that I didn't read them first, otherwise I probably wouldn't have bought this Bosch hedge trimmer.

I have just used it for a couple of hours, and I think that a lot of the negative comments are perhaps unfair.

The only thing that could be made a little better, is if the trimmer was maybe a bit lighter in weight.

Bosch don't make poor stuff in my experience, and this trimmer seems to be worth the doe to me.

Don't let the negative comments put you off buying one, I like my decent gear, and I'm happy paying £105 for this, it's definitely worth that.

This is an excellent machine, I have used it extensively and have found no faults with it. Big benifit is that it has a wide tooth spacing and now I often use more than the Makita petrol hedgetrimmer I have as it will cut a thicker hedge. Long cutting blade gives a good clean finish and reach to taller and wider hedges. Used on fir and beech hedges.
