The
Garden Groom has a unique collecting system which makes the chore of hedge
trimming far simpler. As you cut, none of the waste is left on the floor, thus
saving you time and effort. This once laborious task, now enables you to spend
more time enjoying your garden, instead of working in it!
Volume Collection Bag and Instructional CD are Included for FREE
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.
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.

History and Background
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
Testimonials from Customers
- Well I have to admit it......Your Garden Groomer was not just a lot of
hype...I am now a believer. I do all the trimming around my home. By the
time I am through trimming the bushes I don't have the will or the stamina
to clean all the stuff that is on the ground. Also, I buy garden bark....lay
it down so everything looks pristine......then trim the hedges, clean up the
stuff on the ground....and there goes the garden bark. It's a vicious
circle. I used it on my largest bush...one that the particles fly
everywhere. Not only did it do a fantastic job but all around the bottom of
the bush not a trimming to be found. And, the bush looked like I had used a
protractor to trim it. I absolutely love my Garden Groomer. It is worth
every single penny that I paid for it. I am extremely fussy about how my
yard looks. So if it could please me it has to be great.....too bad it
didn't come along years ago.

- Garden Groom is the best hedge trimmer on the market:
"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".
Malcolm Wain, Ohio, USA
- “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

The
Midi weighs 2.7Kg or about 6 pounds
Q: What is the maximum diameter of branch that the Garden Groom will cut?

Q: What is the capacity of the on board container?
The Midi container will hold up to 6 square metres (5 litres) of clippings.

Q: Can I use the clippings for the compost?

Q: What precautions should I take when operating the Garden Groom?
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 the Garden Groom collect all of the clippings?
It will collect 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 my Garden Groom without the container?
A: Do not do this under any circumstances.
Q: Can I use my hedge trimmer 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.
