Looking for hedge trimmer
Looking on Amazon for a hedge trimmer. On the UK site I see the type I'm looking for, but on the Spanish site when searching for motosierra it just seems to show the chainsaw type which is what I don't want.
Anyone know please the Spanish description of the type I'm looking for?
Here ¡s a picture of the type I'm searching for.
Thanks.

Re: Looking for hedge trimmer
Thanks very much for the responses. Much appreciated. Little wonder I couldn't find one using the wrong title for the item. And thanks also Rosemary for the link.

Re: Looking for hedge trimmer
A friend has recently purchased a GTech cordless trimmer / cutter.
He had it delivered to Spain and is very pleased with it. Battery life he says is excellent.

Re: Looking for hedge trimmer
Thanks for that. Think I've found one on Amazon Spain, but hadn't thought of the GTech models although I've seen them advertised. Will take a look. Thanks again.

Re: Looking for hedge trimmer
Can you tell me please who was the supplier who shipped to Spain?
Thanks.

You realise that if you get one sent to Spain it will effectively have no warranty as getting it sent for repair, or even replacement, is likely more trouble than the machine is worth.

Thanks for the advice though.

Best to ask around for numerous comments/reviews on this newcomer brand before parting with your cash.

Re: Looking for hedge trimmer
I have the one that Rosemary linked to. Excellent, like most Bosch products.
I also use a number of Bosch cordless devices which are great, but battery life is, inevitably limited, especially on high powered devices such as a hedge trimmer which would normally use 500w or so. For very light cutting it might be OK but for any heavy cutting a mains unit would be better.
Amazon Spain have loads to choose from. Incidentally, if you have stuff shipped from the UK to Europe from a major manufacturer they will be covered by warranty anywhere in Europe. That said, I find I can usually source anything in Spain, often much cheaper than buying from the UK.

Re: Looking for hedge trimmer
Thanks for the very helpful responses. More thought needed I think! I favour a cordless, because of its convenience and not requiring to have a mains lead around me when cutting, but as has been mentioned, inevitably these won't have either the cutting time or power. The cutting time is less of an issue for me as anything that means I have to stop working to wait for a re-charge can only be a plus!
Forgot to mention I absolutely hate anything gardening connected, so even the thought of buying something like a cutter is not a purchase of choice but better than the alternative of cutting manually I think!
Thanks again to all.
