They are ok, OH bought one but was not very impressed, its motor went after a few months and we hadn't used it much! If you buy one, pay extra for the big 'hoover' like attatchment tube to catch the waste, they fill up very quickly otherwise and you'll spend a long time emptying the thing! Fine if you are good and cut your hedges regularly, if you are bad like us it will not cope with heavy regrowth as well.
