Those eBay polesaw / strimmer / pruners / hedge trimmers

[MajorProblem]

Hi, after buying a house which needs a lot of garden work I have been looking at those extended hedge trimmer/pruner/strimmer, after buying a house which needs a lot of garden work I have been looking at those extended hedge trimmer/pruner/strimmer things from eBay. I have a wall of conifers to attack which are around 4 m tall I have had quotes in the hundreds of pounds for maintenance, I think it will be better if I had the tools to do it myself.

I would be looking at the petrol models which eBay between £150 and £200.

Has anybody got one and what are your experiences, I would probably use this maximum of once a month. I would like to know how reliable they are and what is the spares situation should it go wrong?

Lidl one looks good - thinking of the warranty.

Been to Lidl, no machines on the shop floor but a load in the storage area, when I asked, they are for the staff and all reserved.
