I used this for trimming a box hedge. The hedge is 8 ft. tall, but it was up to the task. The weight made the job very easy to handle.

Buy it!

Used this guy for the first time today, loved it! Light weight and super easy to operate!

Great trimmer

My father had an electric hedge trimmer that he said didn't cut much of anything. I tried it once and it was totally useless. More like massaging the bushes. Consequently I inherited from him the habit of using manually operated shears. Finding one of those with straight blades that actually cut was kind of annoying. After watching a couple yard care Youtube videos decided to try an electric trimmer. Due to the experience above I suspected I needed to spend $70 on one of the big ones to get one that could really cut. The 24” (22"?) B&D’s were out of stock when I was ready to purchase so I bought this one based on the reviews wondering if it could live up to those reviews. For the low price I had severe doubts. Cue parting clouds, sunbeams, and trumpets. Hey, this thing actually cuts! In 20 minutes I cut what would have taken a couple days with the shears. The limiting factor was greens waste bin space. Stuffed a couple and had to stop. Plus shaping was much easier so the bushes look better. I used a 100’ “contractors” extension cord I bought on Amazon, actually I bought two different cords for different uses, so I test fit both and both sockets fit the trimmer. The wire fit in the hole for the retention hook and I had no problems with the cording popping off. It has trouble cutting thicker woody branches (perhaps around a half-inch) but that matches the description so no problem. It appears to be a trade-off. In exchange for being very light and easy to handle, you trade-away the cutting power of a higher amperage motor and the reach of the 22” and 24” trimmers. So if all your bushes are not much taller than you are and you don’t have to reach back too much, then this one is great. If you have giant bushes with thick branches then you might want more power and reach. Extremely happy with this purchase. Less effort, more productivity, less time, bushes look better, and for a low cost.

Cant beat it for the price

This thing is amazing. It cuts really fast and is pretty light and easy to move around. It's my first ever trimmer so maybe my review isnt too helpful, but I'm really glad I bought this.

Five Stars

our older trimmer wore out this one is a great replacement

Great hedge trimmers.

AWESOME, easy to use, nice long blade without being unmanageable. All in all this is great and made really quick work of cleaning up the hedges around our mailbox. They are those nasty evergreens that people in the west love because they are easy to get to grow, but man...they take a lot of work to maintain them. I had been using manual hedge trimmers for years, and now I really wonder why! I would not hesitate to buy these again, and I feel like I can easily control the trimmers and don't feel like I will hurt myself using these to trim the hedges, or, as our neighbor did...the pine tree!

Easy to handle!

Have hesitated for years to buy a hedge trimmer, but took the plunge on this one. I am pleasantly surprised, light weight easy to handle, cuts my shrubs back easily and trims my 10' tall cyprus cedar with ease!! I'm 76, wish I had bought one years ago!!

Perfect!

After a lot of checking, I chose this trimer and was I right! Its the perfect size and did a terrific job in rimming the bushes an some of the smaller tree branches in my yard. Easy to handle, and light in weight.

Sharp and good!

Perfect for trimming bushes and shrubs! its sharp enough to cut through just about anything!

Better Than Hoped For

If I've learned anything from buying online, it's that disappointment often follows many "high hope" purchases. That was not the case here. The hedge trimmer worked flawlessly and without fail. Easy to manipulate and make nice cuts, I was consistently able to move it around the shrubs like I "almost" knew what I was doing. My extension cord came close to being cut a couple of times, but that was more the result of my lack of skill than anything being wrong with the trimmer. I recently had open heart surgery (three months ago), so I was a little concerned about wielding anything heavy, as I didn't want to traumatize my chest any more than it already is. Not to worry: the trimmer is so lightweight that I barely felt ant strain at all. The yard looks great again! I felt fine afterwards! I highly recommend this particular hedge trimmer.
