Garden Groom is The Best Hedge Trimmer on the market [Posted on 2006-02-08]
I got my Garden Groom last July and have been thoroughly pleased with it. It is heads and shoulders above any other trimmer out there. It will save you from hours of back ache too as you don't need to bend down to constantly pick up debris. I can't wait for other products from Garden Groom.

GREAT IDEA...POOR DESIGN IMPLIMENTATION [Posted on 2006-06-06]
A common hedge trimmer is far easier and less tiring to use...the problem is the clean up....all of the raking and bending!

However, the Garden Groom, in theroy, should make clean up a snap. However, it is not that easy.

Unlike a hedge trimmer, where all the weight is directly under your hands and the machine is designed so that you hold it close into your body, with your elbows beant.

this unit, makes you extend your arms fully putting all of th wweight at the very ends of your arms. The further something is from your body, the more it needs to be balanced in order not to be tiring to use.

It also works well ONLY with small leafed, small thin stemed shrubs and hedges such as Privit.

The stems have to be relatively short as you use a back and forth movement agaisnt the shurb to cut. If the growth is over a few inches, you have to place the unit over a few branched and push downward. Which takes for ever.

It works slowly and cannot handle large leaf shrubs at all.

Here in the south, (Florida0, things grow very quickly and it is nto always easy to get to pruning as fast as possible.

In the time it took to use the Garden Groom on two anise shrubs, (which have large leaves and stems about 1/6 inch on dia., I was able to use a conventional electric hedge priner to trim 30 ft of assorted shrubs, including Anise, Podocarpus, bamboo and hawthorn. The Grden groom did not work on the Podocarpus and Bamboo at all!

Even with cleaning up the grounds afterward, it still took less time, but more effort.

The garden groom also has to be cleaned. The shoot to the large clipping bag needs to be soaked in water to get it clean and the large bag and approx 8 foot houe must be turned inside out and dried to preven them from mildewing.

Well happy gardening!
