Brilliant product! Powerful cutting and very light weight. Quick charging time and easy use without the trouble of cables. Not the cheapest cost but worth every penny I would say. Definitely would recommend if your unsure. 👍

This is a lightweight tool which is easy to use. It cut through thick branches of my hedge with ease. I was glad not to have to buy a battery as I already have one for my strimmer. The battery power lasted well for one task but I shall see with more use how long it goes on for.

This is a good machine. Pricier than I was looking to pay but having read many reviews of many hedge trimmers opted for this one as I thought, ‘I only want to buy once!’ It is well built; safety on/off switch involves 3x buttons which is needed given that the handle for carrying necessarily involves pressing the lever for trimmer action. The guard is strong and additionally serves as protection when the trimmer is in use. Battery life (2.5amp hours) is more than adequate for my purposes. The trimmer made light work of cutting back a jasmine, 5 metres length and privet hedge, 3.5 metres length. Starting fully charged, the battery charge indicator on the attached battery (a small button needs to be depressed to display status of charge) showed 3 lights remaining out of four to fully cut back overgrown front garden hedge; same for jasmine in back garden. And the battery incidentally is the easiest to slide on/off both the trimmer and the charger. The body of the handle can be swivelled to a horizontal position which is handy for tackling hedges from different angles .Needless to say, great not to have to worry about trailing and cutting cables! My only slight detraction, and it seems hardly fair to mention it as such, is that I found it is a bit on the heavy side for prolonged use. I am small and just 45kg. It is about 4kg with battery attached. There are lighter alternatives on the market. I have, as I say perhaps unfairly, given an overall 4 stars rather than 5 for this reason.

Was trimming hedges easy? – Yes. A lot easier than my old corded model. This trimmer cuts through the stuff my old trimmer wouldn’t. Is it lightweight? – Not for me, but I want durability rather than flimsiness and I can take a rest when I want to. I find that keeping the hedge straight at about 6 foot/1 meter a bit of a challenge. The hedge sides were easy though! Battery life? – Ah! plenty of battery left when I finished remodelling my hedge, but, according to the manual, I’m not supposed to recharge the battery unless nearly flat! That said, I bought another battery so I always have a fully charged spare. Would I buy another? – No. Why would I when I’ve got a perfectly good one already? I did buy more cordless garden tools though because of the sheer convenience of not trailing a mains cable around

Great product. Battery works with my blower, which is also impressive. Perhaps slightly more expensive than some makes but well with it.
