According to our hedge trimmer expert
With the wireless Bosch AHS 55-20 Li, you'll make short work of branches and twigs. This cordless hedge trimmer has a 55-centimeter bar and is primarily suitable for small to medium-sized hedges. The anti-blockage system helps you to keep on working, even if it's a bit harder to cut through the branches. The optimized balance and its light weight of only 2.6 kilograms ensure that the hedge trimmer is easy to handle. The rear handle with Softgrip, the front handle with multiple positions, and a transparent hand shield all ensure that you can work comfortably in every position.

Let me start by saying that I did not pay close attention to this purchase. For the slightly more expensive price, I thought it would come with an extra battery. Turns out that Bosch now sells its devices with battery (1) and without battery because you can exchange the 18V battery of the same type between different devices that you have already purchased. That's not how I understood it, partly because there was a review that an extra battery was included (which was probably a temporary promo). This makes for me that the device underperforms.
The device itself is brilliant in ease of use; battery charges quickly (less than an hour), click and off you go.
But... after having done a small piece of my yew hedge, the disadvantages suddenly surfaced. The device regularly fell silent on not too thick branches of 0.5 cm and this worsened as the battery reached its end, which also happened much too quickly. I have now had to remove my yew hedge in 5 times and after 5 charges the battery has not improved. This is a big contrast to my previous (inherited hedge trimmer) corded. This one went through the yew hedge like butter and never ran out of power.
This hedge trimmer is good for small shrubs and box hedges, but that was not the main purpose of my purchase.
In other words. Make sure you have two batteries so that you can continue working quickly and do not buy these scissors if you want to use them for something other than lighter work such as boxwood.

Fits comfortably in the hand and can be easily used in all positions thanks to the 3 release buttons in the bracket. Battery life is good, more than 45 minutes or longer. Thicker branches can easily be sawn through with the small blades at the front. However, this will shorten the normal working length of the hedge trimmer. Not directly negative, but you have to get used to this. Stop system in the event of an impending jam takes some getting used to, but this way you extend the life of the hedge trimmer. The battery is quickly charged to about 80%, so you can continue working. An extra battery is of course very handy.
