Compare the top 3 hedge trimmers in Australia 2026

For most Australian homeowners with a small-to-medium suburban hedge, the Bosch EasyHedgeCut 18-45 at around $144 is the right buy. It's cordless, so there's no cord to drag around the garden bed, and crucially it ships as a complete kit, the 18V battery and charger are in the box, so it works the day it arrives. The 45cm blade and Anti-Blocking System make light, tidy work of lilly pilly, murraya and box hedges, and the battery drops into other Bosch 18V garden and DIY tools.

If you'd rather not buy a battery at all, the BLACK+DECKER 600W 60cm Corded Hedge Trimmer at about $119 is the budget pick, corded means unlimited runtime, it's always ready, and the saw-blade tip cuts branches up to 35mm; the catch is the power cord limits your reach. For big, thick or overgrown hedges, the Bosch AdvancedHedgeCut 36V-65 at roughly $297 gives a 65cm bar and brushless power that chews through 28mm branches, but be honest, it's a bare tool, so factor in a 36V battery and charger if you don't already own one.
