Owners’ opinions of the Bosch AHS 60-16
The Bosch AHS 60-16 Hedgecutter has 320 customer reviews
The main criticisms mentioned by purchasers of this hedge trimmer are that i) the blade cover is a bit flimsy and awkward to fit, and ii), several mentioned the poor quality of the packaging when their purchase was delivered.
The most substantive criticism concerned the design of the safety grip handle which some customers found awkward to use when cutting above shoulder level.
On the positive side, buyers of this model thought that it was a good compromise between price and performance, and that it was ideal for the average home gardener. Many commented on the usefulness of the longer blade, enabling taller hedges to be cut with ease, and faster than with a shorter blade. The handling, balance and manoeuvrability of the machine also drew favourable comments.
