Great Trimmer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After fully charging the 24V battery I started trimming our 15 foot high cedar hedge for the first time this season. Fully extending the trimmer allowed me to trim up to 12 feet high while standing safely on the ground. The trimmer breezed through the cedar hedge and it was able to cut branches up to 1/2" diameter with ease. After 25 minutes of run time the battery was ready for another charge. It was quickly at 100 % of charge within 45 minutes. The Greenworks pole trimmer made it easy to trim an unruly hedge.

Great hedge trimmer with surprising power.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At first I was worried about the power of this 24 volt hedge trimmer, as I am used to using the 40V tools from Greenworks, however I was pleasantly surprised. The overall power of this trimmer doesn't feel like a battery tool. This hedge trimmer cut through some of the thicker hedge branches I was trimming, up to about 1/2" thick. I noticed that trimming went easier if I swept across large branches quickly, as opposed to just pressing hard on the side of a branch to cut. I used the hedge trimmer to trim several podocarpus hedges I have. The extension pole made reaching the tops of them easy. Cuts are pretty clean, with very little "chewed" marks on leaves.
The motor that drives the trimmer is housed in the head of the unit, not the base near the battery. This actually makes the head of the tool a bit heaver, but gets balanced out when the battery is connected in the back. This made reaching with the tool easier.
My only drawback after using this awhile, is that the quick clamps that tighten the length adjustment seem to loosen over continued use. I find myself having to tighten these clamps with a screwdriver before opening and closing them to make them tight. Not a big issue, but an small annoyance, nonetheless.
I the tool has 3 'buttons' that trigger the unit. There is a long button on the pole, a button on the top, and a trigger. All 3 have to be engaged for the trimmer to operate. I assume this is for safety, since if you let go of the pole, the trimmer doesn't come in contact with you while running.

So much better than others

The hedge trimmer is easy to use and works great. The battery charges quick and stays charged long enough to get the job done and more. It works quickly and quietly. Has a great reach. I’m pretty short and was able to trim a rather tall and over grown bush back to a manageable size in less than 5 minutes. It was actually fun to use. I’m going to have to find more hedges to trim.

Awesome combination of power, comfort and features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my review of the Greenworks 24V Lithium-Ion Pole Hedge Trimmer #22242. This is a cordless trimmer that comes with the tool, 2Ah 24V battery and charger. The battery pack is compatible with other Greenworks 24V Lithium-Ion based tools.
Having cut through many extension cords using my corded hedge trimmer, and dealt with the continuous maintenance associated with 2-cycle gasoline engines, a powerful battery-based hedge trimmer was very appealing. Unpacking the Greenworks trimmer revealed a well-made product, thoughtfully designed for safety, comfort and performance.
Assembly entails attaching the main handle assembly to the trimmer head assembly. There are clearly marked arrows to ensure easy assembly. Once the two halves are together, simply fasten the trimmer head cam lock. While no tools are required for the assembly, I would like to note that the cam locks are adjustable for tighter fit, if desired, using a standard #2 Phillips screwdriver. No oil or any other additive is required. I charged the 24V battery pack for an hour before going back and seeing that it was fully charged by the charger’s LED indicators. The battery pack slides into the tool and securely clicks into position. Fully assembled, the hedge trimmer weighs about 10 pounds, but it is well-balanced and easy to handle.
The task of the day was an overgrown bridal wreath bush, with some parts about 7 feet tall and nearly the same width. The trimmer’s lock-out button and dual-trigger system combine safety with functionality. After a quick review of the manual, I found myself comfortable with activating the tool, while still assured that it could not be easily activated by an unwitting child or a careless grasp. The Greenworks pole hedge trimmer is super sharp, and sliced through the bridal wreath with ease. A few of the thickest branches, ½” in diameter, gave the tool momentary resistance, but the blade quickly won the battle and kept on going.
This tool was designed with the user in mind. The pole can be extended up to an additional 8-½” in length for comfort, or to help reach greater heights or depth in the task you are working on. To accomplish this, loosen the handle cam lock, adjust the handle shaft to the desired length, and then re-fasten the cam lock. Additionally, the head and blade can be pivoted into 7 offset positions, allowing for greater flexibility. To change the pivot, simply squeeze the large button and adjust the head, allowing it to click into the position you desire.
I ran the tool continuously for 38 minutes on the bridal wreath, and the power stayed strong and consistent on the single charge of the 24V battery. With the bridal wreath job complete, I turned my attention to a patch of overgrown privet, and kept on cutting for about another 7 minutes before detecting the battery beginning to wane. The battery required an equal 45 minutes on the charger to return to a full state of charge, well within a reasonable time period.
With a respectable 45 minutes of continuous runtime on a single charge, the Greenworks 24V Lithium-Ion Pole Hedge Trimmer will allow me to keep my hedges and shrubs trimmed and neat, without the hassle of fuel/oil mixtures or extension cords.

Worked like a champ and good battery time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I spent some quality time with my 20 inch pole hedge trimmer. I just finished trimming 7 tall evergreen trees. In the past I have had to get the ladder out and move it around a lot to trim trees. My trees are between 8 and 10 foot tall. This trimmer handled this task in stride.
I had read that the battery would last around 40 minutes. I used the trimmer for at least 45 minutes and it still showed some charge left.
I great unit I would recommend for anyone with those tall bushes.

Trimmer is a beast

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Right out of the box this trimmer seemed solid and very capable of doing it's job. It was easy to go through the start up and assembly instructions to get the trimmer into operation. Once the battery had a full charge I took the trimmer out to handle some of my taller shrubs that had been difficult to trim in the past.
With this tool there were no issues in reaching areas that were a problem in the past.
Adjusting the trimmer head made the job very straight forward, with much time was saved to complete those higher trim jobs. Overall feel was solid and handling was very intuitive with the safety of the two triggers to operate the blade on the shrubs. I'm very impressed by the ease of use and overall functionality of the trimmer.
The charging time did not take very long and the battery held up long enough to complete the bigger portion of the trimming needed to be done. While cleaning up the first round of trimming the battery had been charged back up to full capacity, ready to carry out what was lined up next for it.

Convenient Trimmer

Posted by: Old Dave

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The trimmer was easy to assemble. I was concerned that the battery would add weight, but that was not the case. The pivoting trimmer head made it easy to trim the top, front and back of a 4' X 30' X 18" hedge next to a wall. I completed my trimming of several bushes within an hour without any loss of power.
