Shopper reviews: praise and criticism
In a review on Yimbly, one shopper said: “Love the cordless trimmer, very easy to use.” Another added: “Amazing for so many jobs in the garden.” On Amazon, the Terratek trimmer has earned a rating of 4.4 from 1,776 ratings.
One shopper wrote: “Brilliant piece of kit for the price, trimmed my box hedge plants in no time, ideal for this type of work. Easy to use and change heads.” Another said: “Good quality machine and a clear set of instructions are included. It is easy to hold due to the diameter of the body and is a reasonable weight. After charging it, we were able to trim and shape 14 box bushes to our satisfaction, and there appears to be plenty of power left in the battery.”
However, not all feedback was positive. One less satisfied shopper said: “The grass trimmer is perfect, but the hedge trimmer aspect is not fit for purpose. It’s not powerful enough to cut the small branches that you find in hedges. I will now need to get a hedge trimmer as a separate purchase.”
Another reviewer, however, raved: “I would highly recommend this product. I have 14 box plants in my front garden, and what usually takes me a few days to prune them all and shape took me less than 1 hour. The battery lasted all this time, and I am absolutely delighted with the results.”
