If there were a prize for the most unusual name or brand of hedge trimmer, then surely Oleo-Mac would win it!
This is possibly one of the least well known names in this country, but don’t discount what they can provide you with for that reason. And if you are thinking it might be a foreign company, think again. They are registered in the UK so you will be buying British here if you get a hedge trimmer from them.
What types of hedge trimmer do they make?
If you go into the consumer section of their website, you will see a whole section on hedge trimmers is available to view. There is information on how to maintain those unruly hedges, and you can then look at what they sell to help you in that respect.
A Selection of the Best Selling Oleo-Mac Hedge Trimmers
They have created a small but potent range of hedge trimmers for your perusal here. There do not sell cordless hedge trimmers, but you can buy electric or petrol ones.
Why should you choose a hedge trimmer made by them?
We don’t all have topiary animals in our garden. But if you happen to have some yourself, consider an Oleo-Mac branded hedge trimmer to keep it looking good at all times. They do state that their trimmers are suitable for this purpose, so they are obviously good in terms of finer cutting as well as for the heavier duty stuff.
It is also clear from their website that they take the greatest care in providing you with a professional machine. This isn’t at the cheapest bargain basement end of the market. An Oleo-Mac hedge trimmer will do everything you ask it to for the foreseeable future. Provided you take good care of it, it should last for a long time.
What price ranges do they fall into?
You should look at spending a couple of hundred pounds at least in order to get your hands on an Oleo-Mac hedge trimmer. The petrol models come up continually around the £270 to £320 mark, while the electric ones are usually slightly cheaper at around the £250 mark.
Don’t forget that you are buying real quality here though. You do get what you pay for, and this is a classic example of that rule.
What kind of information can you find on their website?
Unusually, you will have to go through some articles before you can view the different hedge trimmers themselves. In one of these articles the individual hedge trimmers are mentioned, and if you click on these model numbers with the middle button of your mouse, you can open each one up in a separate web page.
Basically speaking, electric trimmers and petrol trimmers are listed on two individual pages. There is some very basic information included here, but you need to click on the orange model number near the top of each one to see more about it.
The petrol trimmers do have a bullet pointed range of information above the selection of models, so there is more to read there. But this is general and applies to the petrol models in general; do read the individual listings to find out more.
Click on the tiny zoom button under the photo to see another window appear with a larger picture in it. The only other information on this page is four or five items of statistics. But in addition to that you can click on the operating manual for that particular model to read it on your computer. You’ll need to click on ‘operator manual’ and then ‘choose the manual’ to get it to appear.
The brochure we saw was over forty pages long, but most of this was in other languages. You can scroll through it to find the relevant parts quite quickly and easily though. A lot of the information is quite standard and relates to safety and storage aspects, but you should certainly still read it as it is very important.
In conclusion
The Oleo-Mac brand deserves to be well thought of and more popular in this country. It probably is in some parts of the market, but it will be those who need a more robust and heavy duty hedge trimmer that will no doubt be aware of the brand.
If you are lucky enough to have a large garden that needs constant attention in this way, you may have found the ideal supplier of your next hedge trimmer. Why not consider it now?
