Is The Garden Groom Trimmer As Good As A Conventional Hedge Trimmer?

The Garden Groom Trimmer, has attracted huge amounts of media attention, and won quite a number of awards, but is it really as good as the hype?

With its innovative design and light weight, the Garden Groom trimmer is it seems, ideal for the older gardener and women. It certainly seems to be a superb labour saving device for gardeners.

However, it is made of plastic and is limited in the size of branches it will cut.The Garden Groom trimmer, does shred the cuttings and has a bag for collecting them, making it a great time saver, in fact the Pro model, can hold up to 70 square yards of them.

There have been some complaints however, about its robustness and reliability from purchasers. It has been suggested by some who have found the Garden Groom, less than satisfactory, that a long reach hedge trimmer of the traditional type, would be much better. In fact, they claim that the latter method of cutting hedges and clearing up is much faster.

The Review Centre, an online site, which publishes reviews on many products, has only nine commments on the Garden Groom. Five of them extol the virtues of this new and innovative piece of equipment, and four which seem to have virtually demolished the tool after only a ew hours.

However, whether this is a representative collection is open to debate. Since it went into production in 2004, the trimmer has received more than its fair share of accolades, including both the media and the gardening press.

At the National Hardware Show in Orlando, it was awarded the Retailers Choice Award. A mere twenty two winners are selected from the thousands of products on display, so this really was something of an accomplishment.

Garden Groom was also featured on a USA programme called "I want that", as well as Paul Jones the "US Gardener Guy", who presents the hottest gardening gizmos of the season.

In the "Garden Answers" magazine voted the midi version of the trimmer, the "best buy", and on "Gardeners World Live", in June 2006 in the UK,it was centre stage.

With all this hype and positive reaction to this product, it would naturally have some negative publicity. Its true value and robustness can only be evaluated after a period of time, when the buying public have tried and tested it to its limits. However the manufacturer's of the Garden Groom trimmer, must surely have put it through its paces, before launching it.

Whatever anyone thinks about the product, its popularity seems assured, as it is now available in more than twenty countries around the world.
