Garden Groom

Prior to purchasing this "NOT SO INEXPENSIVE" ($130.00 US) garden hedge trimmer, I decided to do a little investigative sleuthing and found there are a whole lot of bad reviews floating around the web. This product had been reviewed on a TV show here in the states called "I Want That" and just based on the all the poor people that were "duped" into buying this, I "DON'T WANT THAT"! Apparently this piece of garbage was marketed over in Great Britain prior to being released in the US, the majority of people who bought these units were told various things like "lifetime warranty" (and told to call a dead phone number) then after filing disputes with companies like Amazon had to paid high return shipping costs (those people were the lucky one's) some just shipped the item back thinking since the item was in the 30 day "no questions asked" return period, never got their money back because the return "wasn't authorized". So, in a nutshell, just because a item is featured on a TV show doesn't mean that the product is endorsed (or really tested), it means that the manufacturer PAID A HEFTY PRICE TO A TV SHOW TO HAVE THEIR PRODUCT FEATURED! This review should also include a negative review for the "DIY" (do it yourself) television network, can you say "Profit before Trust"?
