Gtech knocks £70 off 'lightweight' cordless hedge trimmer with 'plenty of power'
Gtech is offering a hefty discount of over 30% on its cordless hedge trimmer that users are saying makes gardening tasks 'effortless'. The Gtech LHT50 Lightweight Hedge Trimmer can now be purchased for £149.99, down from £219.99, by using the discount code BX64.
This nifty saving of £70 is available until July 31, making it perfect timing for Brits wanting to spruce up their gardens in time for summer. It allows them to maintain a well-groomed garden without it feeling like hard work, as the cordless LHT50 is touted as Gtech's 'most effortless trimmer'.
It's designed for those fed up with battling with cables, heavy equipment and step ladders. It's described as being 'super light' and 'surprisingly powerful', boasting the same motor as the original model but a third lighter at 2.14kg.
The tool can reach up to 10ft and has seven adjustable head positions, with a 140 degree rotating blade enabling easier sculpting of every part of a hedge from the top, sides and base. The trimmer features an 'ultra-sharp' 315mm carbon steel blade capable of cutting even thicker hedges up to 14mm, while a safety switch can help prevent any unfortunate accidents.
This Gtech hedge trimmer boasts a cable-free design, yet it can operate for up to 60 minutes on a single charge of its detachable battery pack. The handy LED display indicates the remaining power, ensuring you're never left stranded, as reported by the Mirror.
The LHT50 trimmer is easily portable around any outdoor space, thanks to the included safety harness. This combined with an ergonomic design provides comfort during use, even for extended periods.
For gardeners tackling more extensive hedge work, the new Bosch Advanced Electric Hedge Trimmer, priced at £190 at Argos, can cut thicker branches up to 34mm, although it is not extendable. A more affordable option is the £170.99 Ryobi 18V ONE+ HP Cordless Hedge Trimmer; however, the battery and charger are not included and must be purchased separately.
The Gtech LHT50 Lightweight Hedge Trimmer has garnered an impressive 4.6-star rating from 838 reviews, with 777 of those being four or five stars. Buyers have praised it as 'easy to use' and 'perfect for any age group'.
One satisfied customer commented: "This is truly a lightweight hedge trimmer but with a heavy weight cutting action. I needed a lightweight trimmer to keep my daughter's hedge under control and the last one I used was very good but really hurt my back and arms. We had the hedge reduced in height but I found I still required a longer reach to cut the hedge as the width was still pretty large. This certainly fits the bill."
Someone else wrote: "This lightweight hedge trimmer is perfect for any age group or those who have difficulty handling a heavier model. No awkward cables to get in the way or accidentally cut through so it is much safer than one with an electric cable. The battery charges easily and gives plenty of power to cut even a long hedge. Also, as it extends, often no ladder is required."
Another user acknowledged some limitations of the cordless hedge trimmer, but overall rated it highly, saying: "Perfect for small jobs for most people. Cannot cut thick stems but does a good job. Very light to use and good battery life."
One five-star review highlighted the user-friendliness for older gardeners: "This lightweight hedge trimmer is easy to use and handle. I'm in my 70s and had no problem using it at full stretch."
"Fantastic, highly recommend this product especially if your priority is lightness," someone else penned. "I needed a hedge trimmer to replace a very heavy pole trimmer that is light yet could tackle a long holly hedge and a separate Leylandii hedge. This product is brilliant – very light but cut both hedges excellently. It also had a good charge life with two lights showing after one hour of use."
