Garden Groom review:
Product is OK. Works very well on dense shrubs but not too well on light bushes. I don't recommend using it from a ladder.

it works, but......:
Don't throw away your old hedge cutter yet: this unit leaves a lot to be desired; the concept is good, but it has a lot of design flaws; #1 it should have been cordless(battery operated), dragging a 100 ft. of electric cord around can be a pain, #2 it only operates well across the top of hedges; difficult cutting the sides plus the cuttings fall out, #3 th cuttings container fills up too fast, sometimes you can't even finish 1 schrub before you have to empty it, #4 it can't be used if hedges need to be cut at ground level

Will this Producr Last:
The product does everything it was represented to do in the TV commercial. I believe the unit is underpowered and that care needs to be taken to keep from overheating the motor. The unit is well balanced for ease of operation. Because of its design it makes triming hedges, such as box wood, particularly easy to create long flat surfaces. It does not work very well on plantings such as yews or arvervita type plants, the main sticks in these are simply to much for the underpowered motor. I will use my unit until it fails and fail it will. I cannot recommend this product because it is not built to last. The design is excellant but the quality is just not there. Emil DeLuca

It works...:
But not recommended if your shrubs and bushes are over grown. I had to get out my other "messy" trimmer to get the job done. To take the height down on several shrubs would have taken forever without my old trimmer. However,I think the shrubs will be easy to maintain now with the Garden Groom. It does keep the majority of the clippings in the bag but there is still clean-up required around each shrub. I'd recommend it.

review Garden Groom:
I am a senior with arthritis and spinal problems and thought the Garden Groom would enable me to work in the garden. However, as I walk with a walker or canes, it was too heavy for me to use. I still think it would be a good help in the garden but not for me.
