Bosch Corded Hedge Trimmers

Reliable, full-power performance with no batteries to charge or replace. The Bosch Green corded range spans three tiers β€” Easy, Universal, and Advanced β€” covering everything from small domestic hedges to large established growth.

The Case for a Corded Trimmer

Corded hedge trimmers have a simple appeal: plug in and go. There's no waiting for a battery to charge, no worrying about running out of power mid-hedge, and no battery to buy separately. The motor delivers consistent full power from the first cut to the last.

They also tend to be lighter than cordless equivalents since there's no battery pack adding weight β€” which makes a real difference when holding a trimmer above your head for extended periods.

The mid and upper range models feature Bosch's ProSilence technology β€” a sound-dampening design that reduces operating noise by up to 80% compared to older models, making them significantly more neighbour-friendly than you might expect from a mains-powered tool.

βœ… Advantages

  • Full, consistent power β€” no battery fade

Longest Blade

Bosch AdvancedHedgeCut 70

Top of Range Β· 500W Β· ProSilence

The most capable corded trimmer in the Bosch Green consumer range. The 70 cm blade is the longest available and covers large areas quickly β€” fewer passes means less time and effort per session. Power and tooth gap are identical to the 65; the extra blade length is the key upgrade. At 4.1 kg it's the heaviest of the range but the longest blade largely compensates. Supplied with a 10 m cable.

  • Motor Power500W
  • Blade Length70 cm
  • Tooth Opening34 mm
  • Weight4.1 kg
  • ProSilenceβœ… 93 dB
  • Slipping Clutch50–70 Nm

What to Look for When Choosing

🦷

Tooth Gap is Key

The tooth gap determines how thick a branch the trimmer can cut. The EasyHedgeCut models manage 16 mm β€” fine for regularly maintained hedges. Established hedges with woody stems need the UniversalHedgeCut (30 mm) or AdvancedHedgeCut (34 mm).

πŸ”‡

ProSilence is Worth It

The noise difference between the EasyHedgeCut and ProSilence models is very significant. If you have neighbours close by, the UniversalHedgeCut 60 or either AdvancedHedgeCut model is a much more considerate choice β€” and you'll notice it yourself after a long session.

πŸ“

Longer Blade = Fewer Passes

A longer blade covers more hedge per sweep. For a long run of established hedge, the 65 or 70 cm models save significant time. For smaller or more intricate hedging, a shorter blade gives better control in tight spots.

πŸ”Œ

Use an RCD Adapter

Always use a residual current device (RCD) adapter when using any corded outdoor power tool. This cuts power instantly if the cable is accidentally cut. They're inexpensive and widely available on Amazon.
