I own several Greenworks products and overall like them. However, my old green works trimer broke and I needed to purchase a new one. I am a bit disappointed with the design and handling of the new cordless pole Hedge trimer, as it is difficult to hold and changing the angle of the cutting head is awkward compared to the old hedge trimmer.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for being a continued Greenworks customer. We understand that handling and adjustability can feel different compared to previous models, especially with pole hedge trimmers that are designed to provide extended reach. For improved control, we recommend ensuring the shoulder strap (if included) is properly adjusted to help distribute weight more evenly, and making angle adjustments while the unit is powered off and supported to reduce strain. Taking a moment to find a balanced grip position along the shaft can also help improve overall handling during use. If the adjustment mechanism feels difficult to operate or you have concerns about the design, we encourage you to contact Greenworks success, either using the online chat function, on Greenworks Tools page, or by calling 1-888-909-6757 so they can review your unit and provide additional guidance or assistance. We look forward to assisting you better.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great tool. I used this on a 10' ladder to trim a large 15' shrub. No problem. Cuts through everything, like butter. Well balanced for it's length. Battery was at 75% after an hour.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this item about 6 weeks ago. The tool works well and the battery has an excellent duration of function. Would buy again.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this for 1hr. Really like the long length. Cuts very well, although a bit noisey when cutting heavier branches, wished they had the long one in the 82v with metal head, I'm concerned how well it will hold up long term. Only time will tell. Otherwise it really works great.
ordered it, but-but-but > shocked to learn that never came as your stock was empty. Would consider again when the boat comes ..better model more powerful would be preferred .. hard to rate anything if I don't have your product.. Please tell the boat captain to put it in 5th gear so that the boat arrives sooner than later:::: before I will be forced to buy a competitive brand/product. as my trimming needs are just around the corner...have to do it very soon. Product must have 10' reach!
