Cheapest hedge trimmer thats recommended - good time of year to buy

 Looking for a cheap hedge trimmer that works reasonably well.

Not looking to invest heavily in something I will only use twice a year.

Any recommendations?  Any vouchers currently available?  Any recommended
buying times of the year?

Thanx.

is really an adapted drill ) and it works. Not too heavy, no fuel to mix,
cheap to buy ( not sure of price as it was a present), chops through Privet
up to half inch and only needs a drop of oil on the blades once a year.

If you have real hedges then you may need something else!

 I use a chapoe B&Q own brand one. I have been more than happy with it in
the 3 years I have been using it.

 
Thanks for that.  How much was it?

I am looking at a few items from Argos which are on offer at the moment:

270/0030 - Challenge Xtreme Cordless Hedge Trimmer - £39.99 (save £10)
720/0047 - Challenge Xtreme Hedge Trimmer - £24.99 (save £5)

1. Are Challenge Xtreme Hedge Trimmers any good?
2. Are these hedge trimmers cheaper than the B&Q one you have?
3. Are cordless ones any good or do they lack power?

Thanx.
