Cheaply built and not the ONLY trimmer of its type. No patent in the US and in fact is in viplation of a acutual US patent for a better machine of its type. Not worth the money when compared to the competion!!!

And the better US product is a mystery. Would you care to tell us the name?

It's unfortunate when comments like this appear (particularly when they are anonymous and with no qualification).Garden Groom IS patented in the U.S. and IS the ONLY collecting hedge trimmer available on the market ! The product has won numerous innovation and design awards and continues to grow in sales and popularity.

A cheap shot from the competition...whoever they are.

Mr. Rolfe,

I am very intrigued by your product. How do you respond to comlaints by previous owners regarding the robustness of your product? I found several negative comments on http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews98240.html.

Thank You,

Richard H.

I\'m curious why a Garden Groom managing director responded to the claim that Garden Groom didn\'t have a U.S. patent, but is not responding to questions about concerns that the product is flimsy.

That link to the U.K. reviews doesn\'t work any more, but if you go to the link and plug in \"Garden Groom\", you can get to the reviews.

I have no opinion of the product one way or the other ... I\'ve never purchased or used one. I was contemplating purchasing one, but the reviews on the web leave me concerned.

If you're unsure, order from a place like QVC.com. If you don't like it, they have a 30-day no questions asked return policy.

This is THE WORST HEDGE TRIMMER I have ever used! It is a total waste of hard earned dollars and does not work as advertised!

I ordered the Garden Groom Pro from Charlies Greenhouse and had read that this unit would not only cut and trim hedges and shrubs but that it would also collect the trimmings to save time cleaning up the clipping mess. This sounded like a good product.

Unfortunately, I did not receive it on the date of expected delivery. When I called Charlies Greenhouse I was told that it was on backorder and should arrive in two more weeks.

It finally arrived and I went to use the new unit on a property that I help to maintain. I was sadly disappointed in the performance of this hedge trimmer that DID NOT TRIM the pittosporum hedge. The unit turned on fine and made a whirring sound from the engine but DID NOT TRIM THE SHRUBS! This was extremely frustrating as there was a tight timeline to get this property\'s landscape into tip top shape to get it ready for viewing.

I ended up using a weed eater to trim the shrubs since the Garden Groom Pro did not function properly as advertised.

I have ordered many gardening supplies from Charlies Greenhouse that I have been pleased with in the past but I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS UNIT TO ANYONE --- SAVE YOUR MONEY AND TIME AND PURCHASE ANOTHER TYPE OF HEDGE TRIMMER!!!!

This is a very expensive unit to purchase ($199.95 US Dollars) to get such POOR PERFORMANCE - a pair of hand pruners and tarp would work faster than this unit!

I have a Garden Groom Pro and I'm mad about it, not at it. It is a sensational unit and beats a regular trimmer without a struggle. This unit is just a quick fix for trimming and it does pick up everything unless you hold it with the cutter head hanging down. I've used it extenxively and would only buy another.

Wow! What a product. We loved it. I know that it does not work in really rough hedges. We use it round the house and it does the job and quickly. I'm not getting any younger and it is light and easy to hold. get one.
Thanks.

Hello. Garden Groom PRO?? Wow! Nice product it seems like it will really help us to garden. It can make our work more easier, and time consuming.
