Garden Groom Midi electric hedge trimmer

Date Published: 10/18/06

The Garden Groom Midi electric hedge trimmer provides all the functionality, innovative design and impressive features of its larger sibling the Garden Groom Max, but in a smaller, lighter-weight and easier-to-handle package. At just 6 pounds, the Garden Groom Midi lets you angle the tool in any direction for precise shaping and trimming, and like the larger version, it's ingeniously engineered to shred clippings at a ratio of 10 to one, and then hold them in the included volume collection bag.

The unit is designed with a pair of easy-to-hold handles, both of which provide plenty of grip space. The two-handed operating system adds an extra level of safety by ensuring that both of your hands are where they need to be before the motor engages. We appreciated the satisfying click the forward lever makes as you squeeze it.

The rotary blade is completely concealed, and the angle creates a gust of wind that inhales the clippings as you trim. The motor sounds like a louder version of a hair dryer. The Garden Groom Midi electric hedge trimmer's 9-inch cutting radius is only as large as a small plate, but the compact and simple-to-maneuver design lets you speed over the sides and tops of hedges with ease.



Pros: Innovative design, safety features
Cons: Small cutting radius

Warranty
1 year
