Frequently asked questions – Bosch EasyHedgeCut 45-16 electric hedge trimmer
Is the Bosch EasyHedgeCut 45-16 suitable for my garden?
The EasyHedgeCut 45-16 is best suited to small hedges and lighter trimming work. If your hedges are relatively low and not heavily overgrown, this compact 45 cm hedge trimmer is usually more than adequate. For larger, denser hedges, you may want to consider a longer blade or a more powerful hedge trimmer from our
hedge trimmers range.
What thickness of branch can it cut?
With a 16 mm tooth spacing, the Bosch EasyHedgeCut 45-16 is designed for young hedge growth and light branches within that size range. Thicker, woody stems are better tackled with hand loppers or a higher-capacity hedge trimmer.
How heavy is the Bosch EasyHedgeCut 45-16 to use?
The hedge trimmer weighs around 2.6 kg, which is light for a mains hedgecutter. Combined with its compact design and balanced weight, this makes it very manageable for most users, especially if you want to avoid heavier petrol machines.
How long is the cable?
The Bosch EasyHedgeCut 45-16 supplied by Masseys includes a 10 m mains cable, giving good reach in most small gardens. For longer runs, it can be used safely with an appropriate outdoor extension lead.
Is a corded hedge trimmer better than cordless?
Corded and cordless both have advantages. A corded hedge trimmer like the EasyHedgeCut 45-16 offers unlimited runtime as long as you are within reach of a socket and generally costs less upfront. A cordless hedge trimmer gives total freedom from cables, which is helpful for longer hedges or awkward garden layouts. Our team can help you compare options in our
cordless hedge trimmers section.
What maintenance does the EasyHedgeCut 45-16 require?
Maintenance is straightforward: disconnect from the mains, brush or wipe off debris, lightly oil the blades from time to time, check the cable for damage and store the tool with the blade cover fitted. Our staff can recommend suitable blade care products if you need them.
Can Masseys help me choose the right hedge trimmer?
Yes. Our staff can help you compare the Bosch EasyHedgeCut 45-16 with other
Bosch hedge trimmers
and with alternative cordless and petrol models in our
hedge trimmers range, so that you choose the most suitable machine for your hedges, garden size and budget.
