I bought one a couple of years ago and used it about 3 or 4 times... I found it far too heavy and difficult to handle. I only had the box on the unit to collect the clippings and it was very quickly full. I understand that there is a bag option.

My husband thought it was fine, however.

I ended up going back to a straightforward flymo hedge trimmer. It's still a pain sweeping up but at least my muscles aren't aching when I've finished.
