LIMITED OFFER Free Volume Collection Bag and Instruction CD with every Garden Groom Midi order.
The shredding action reduces the waste by 10:1, making disposal of the clippings far easier. The shredded clippings are also ideal for mulch or composting.
The Garden Groom is the world¦s only collecting hedge trimmer, that has a completely concealed blade. This feature virtually eliminates the risk of cutting the mains cable and significantly reduces the danger of personal injury. Consequently, this eliminates the fear factor that many gardeners face, when using a conventional hedge trimmer.
The Garden Groom is environmentally friendly in a number of ways:
- The shredding action reduces the clippings by 10:1, therefore reducing the number of refuse bags required to dispose of the waste.
- The clippings are ideal as mulch or for composting. Clippings from conventional hedge trimmers usually cannot be used, due to the length of time it takes for them to decompose.
- The Garden Groom promotes an overall healthier hedge, as the dead waste is not left in the hedge.

"I got my Garden Groom last July and have been thoroughly pleased with it. It is heads and shoulders above any other trimmer out there. It will save you from hours of back ache too as you don't need to bend down to constantly pick up debris. I can't wait for other products from Garden Groom".

- (This is our second purchase of a Groom. While I was using the Maxi Groom (on our long run of conifers) my wife was always wanting to assist me. Today we have taken delivery of the Midi Groom, now the long/tall and the short of our garden has been shared, thank you from two well satisfied customers.÷
Mr and Mrs Bagnall, Huddersfield, UK.
- "The Garden Groom was delivered at lunchtime and by four pm I had trimmed two very large hedges, which would normally take me two days to cut and remove the clippings. With your machine it was a fraction of the normal effort.
This is an unsolicited testimonial for an excellent device, which was delivered as promised and has produced a performance at least equal to your advertisement. I am certainly a satisfied customer".
Thank you.
Mr Gordon Dennison, UK
Q: How does it work?
It has a rotary cutting blade which cuts and shreds the clippings using a scissor-like action. The shredded material is then deposited into the onboard container or alternatively into the volume collection bag.
Q: What does the it weigh?
2.7Kg (6lbs)
Q: What is the maximum diameter of branch that the Garden Groom will cut?
The trimmer is designed to cut 12 - 18 months worth of growth, therefore we recommend that the maximum diameter of branch should be no more than:
10mm (0.4") for the Midi
Q: What is the capacity of the on board container?
The Midi container will hold up to 6 square meters (5 liters) of clippings.
Q: What is the capacity of the volume bags?
The volume bag will hold at least 10 times more than the on board container.
Q: What types of hedges will it cut?
The trimmer will cut all types of hedge including:
Privet, Leylandi, Yew, Ash, Holly, Beech, Hawthorn
Q: What is the size of the motor?
Midi - 300W motor
Q: What is the length of the cable?
10 meters (13.7 inches)
Q: What is the length of the volume bag hose?
Midi - 2.5 meters (8.2ft)
Q: Can I use the clippings for the compost?
Yes, the shredded clippings are perfect for composting.
Q: What precautions should I take?
We recommend that safety goggles be worn at all times. Do not overreach, keep proper footing and balance at all times and always ensure you are stood on a secure platform.
Q: Will it collect all of the clippings?
The Garden Groom collects the vast majority of the clippings (the denser the growth, the better the collection rate).
If you find that the shredded clippings are starting to spill out of the container, this indicates that it needs emptying, we recommend that you do not over fill the onboard container.
Q: Can I operate it without the container?
A: Do not do this under any circumstances.
Q: Can I use it for anything other than cutting hedges and bushes?
No, we strongly recommend that you only use the Garden Groom for cutting hedges and bushes.
Q: My trimmer is making a strange noise and not collecting very well?
Check the container is not full and the volume bag hose and exhaust are not blocked.
Q: Do I need to sharpen the blades?
No, because the cutting action is achieved by a rotary blade. It is the speed of the cut that is critical. The Garden Groom has been designed to require no maintenance, however should you damage the blades they are replaceable.
Q: Can I obtain spare parts/repairs?
Yes, depending upon what the parts are, you can purchase them from your Garden Groom Distributor stated at the back of your instruction manual.
History
Several years ago, Graham Wilson a retired engineer was cutting hedges in his garden. After a long hard day he said to himself, there must be an easier and safer way to do this job!!! So he set about trying to solve the problems that all gardeners face when they venture out to cut their hedges.
At first it started out as a hobby, but the more Graham got closer to solving the problems, the more determined he was to see the job through. In 2000, he received a number of UK government grants for safety and innovation, which helped him fund the initial stages of the project. he then approached a number of leading garden tool manufacturers, with a view to them taking on his invention. Without exception they all rejected his concept.
Graham however was determined to see his vision through. He was convinced he had a concept that would dramatically benefit gardeners around the world, that concept would change a potentially dangerous and time consuming chore, into a far more pleasant and safe gardening function.
To achieve his goal, Graham needed to raise substantial funds and in 1999, at the age of 53, he re-mortgaged his home and ploughed all of his savings into the development of his invention. Years on and after spending a small fortune on development, manufacturing and patent costs and with many disappointments and rejections along the way, Graham has succeeded in introducing the GARDEN GROOM to gardeners around the world. He has truly solved the problems associated with hedge trimming and with the GARDEN GROOM has presented a unique product that cuts, shreds and captures the majority of waste material and with its concealed blade, makes it virtually impossible to cut the main cable.
Great ideas are always worth fighting for!
Thanks Graham
