Many thanks for all the replies.
You're welcome. Ladders can be dangerous so use the time until spring to see what's available and what suits you and the hedge won't grow much more now until spring. A good garden centre will offer that advice and you'll should be able to handle the goods to get a feel for how bulky or heavy they are. The likes of QVC have some very good offers at times so maybe you could see what they come up with in spring and benefit from having 30 days to actually use the machine before deciding whether to keep it. In a situation like yours that's quite a valuable concession. Ideal World offer a similar 'use it and see' guarantee albeit for just 14 days.

You could also ask a local independent garden equipment supplier for their advice as to the pros and cons of what's available. They're often very helpful even if they can match the cheapest price you might find online.

Best of luck and keep away from those ladders...
