 Garden Groom - Waste of time. Sep 18, 2006
By M. Easter
"Lawn Man"
I purchased a Garden Groom MIDI and after two uses it has broken. The item is constructed mainly of plastic parts and just won't stand up to any sort of use. In additon, there is no warranty on the item -- so if it breaks -- you are just stuck with it. I would not recommend buying this item.

 Nice design - cheap construction. Sep 23, 2006
By G. Lee
"No black & white opinions - just nuanced greys."
The idea of a rotary, safe, mulching hedge-trimmer is great. The letdown is the durability and performance. After two weeks of use the plastic central spindle broke. In addition, it is obviously designed for the less robust hedges of the U.K. and not the woody, thick-leaved ficus, ixora, carissa etc. of the Gulf States. It reminds me of Renault cars, fine for Europe but when equipped with power windows, power steering, air-conditioner (i.e. standard for U.S. cars) the electrical systems proved unreliable.

Will not work well on firmer hedges Sep 09, 2006
By Seinor Gardener
I just purchased the Garden Groom Hedge Clipper. I found it very heavy and awkward to use once it filled up with clippings. On most hedges, other than the softer ones, it will not cut well. One has to make too many passes back and forth to get it to cut properly. Great idea and safe to operate, but not worth the effort. Cutting after awhile is extremely tiring, especially when you have to reach across the hedge and extend your arms for any length of time. I do not recommend it for seniors.

I wouldn't give a nickle for a car-load of these!!!! Jul 11, 2010
By Gregory Cremer
"Nogrey"
I live on a small property and only have 3 small hedge bushes. It usually only takes me an hour to clip and clean up with a pair of manual hedge clippers. I decided to try an electric trimmer because the manual ones are so hard on my joints and I suffer for a day or two after using them (OK, I'm getting old). I read the manufacturers reviews, watched the videos and even read a fair amount of users reviews. There were negatives but I figured it was because they were trying to do too large of a hedge or something. This is not touted as being a commercial grade product. I liked the idea of it catching the clippings as well so I ordered one. It arrived all shiny new. I read the instructions (simple to operate) and assembled the catcher and went out to trim my hedges. Here's where it all went wrong. Honestly, I don't know who thought this thing was a good Idea but it really was just horrible! Functionally speaking I could (and finally did) do a better job with my old manual trimmers. I got so fed up with the catcher falling off every few moments, and how difficult it was to even make this thing cut anything that I finally boxed it up and sent it back for a refund. Believe me, go get the cheapest electric hedge trimmer and you'll be far happier with the performance and way ahead money wise. Even with the catcher in place (which wasn't very often) it still made a mess that required cleanup. It clogged easily and the "safety" switches made it cumbersome and difficult to run. I don't know how else to say it, I really hate this product. It is a piece of junk if ever there was one.

 Does not collect all clippings Jun 02, 2007
By Katheryn
The worst part of trimming hedges is the clean up. I bought this item since it promised to eliminate this chore and it does, to a point. Not all the clippings are collected and since they are mulched it makes it even more difficult to remove them. The motor blows clippings all over you so be prepared. I do like the recessed blade safety feature but over all I don't think the Groomer is worth the price.
