Frequently asked questions – Bosch EasyHedgeCut 55-16 electric hedge trimmer
Is the Bosch EasyHedgeCut 55-16 suitable for my garden?
The EasyHedgeCut 55-16 is best suited to small and medium-sized hedges where most branches are within the 16 mm tooth spacing. It is an excellent choice for regular light trimming and shaping of domestic boundary hedges. For very large, tall or dense hedges, you may want to consider a more powerful cordless or petrol hedge trimmer from our
hedge trimmers range.
What thickness of branch can it cut?
With a 16 mm tooth spacing, the EasyHedgeCut 55-16 is designed for younger hedge growth and smaller branches up to roughly this thickness. For significantly thicker woody stems, use loppers or a higher-capacity hedge trimmer.
How heavy is the Bosch EasyHedgeCut 55-16 to use?
The hedge trimmer weighs around 2.6–2.7 kg, which is light for a 55 cm mains hedgecutter. Combined with the balanced design and ergonomic handles, most users find it comfortable for typical trimming sessions.
How long is the cable?
The Bosch EasyHedgeCut 55-16 supplied by Masseys includes a 10 m mains cable, giving good reach in most small and medium gardens. For longer hedges, it can be used with a suitable outdoor-rated extension lead.
What is the difference between the EasyHedgeCut 45-16 and EasyHedgeCut 55-16?
Both models share a similar design philosophy, but the EasyHedgeCut 55-16 has a longer 55 cm blade and a more powerful 450 W motor, making it better suited to slightly larger hedges and longer runs. The EasyHedgeCut 45-16 is more compact and is often chosen for very small hedges or tight spaces.
Is a corded hedge trimmer better than cordless?
A corded hedge trimmer like the EasyHedgeCut 55-16 offers unlimited runtime and lower initial cost, which is ideal if your hedges are within reach of a socket. A cordless hedge trimmer offers complete freedom from cables, which can be a big advantage in larger or more complex gardens. Our team can help you compare options in our
cordless hedge trimmers category.
What maintenance does the EasyHedgeCut 55-16 require?
Maintenance is simple: unplug the tool, brush or wipe off debris from the blades, apply a light protective oil periodically, check the cable for damage and store the machine with the blade cover fitted. We can advise on suitable lubricants and accessories if required.
Can Masseys help me choose the right hedge trimmer?
Yes. Our staff can help you compare the Bosch EasyHedgeCut 55-16 with other
Bosch hedge trimmers
and alternative cordless or petrol machines in our
hedge trimmers range, so you can select the most suitable tool for your hedges, garden layout and budget.
