Power is good, able to cut through branches up to 3/4 inch with no problem. Battery run time is good. You have to be at least a couple feet away from a small hedge to trim it though since there is no way to use without telescoping to 6 feet minimum. Weight on this is also pretty ridiculous. Would recommend regular hedge trimmer unless you have 10 foot tall hedges
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Both of my older corded extendable hedge trimmers of different brands were hard to reposition and stopped working. I already had a Greenworks extendable battery operated pole saw and that tool is so awesome that I purchased the adjustable battery operated Greenworks hedge trimmer and it is so much easier to adjust than the previous hedge trimmers. I can trim the top of 8' bushes easily. It looks like the tool would be heavy, but it isn't even holding it above my head. What used to take me 45 minutes dragging around the cord trimming the bushes in the front of my house now takes only 20 minutes with the Greenworks battery operated hedge trimmer. Since I already had the battery for the pole saw I didn't have to buy another battery for the hedge trimmer and the battery lasts easily through all my residential hedge trimming without having to recharge the battery. I was also very impressed with how long the battery charge lasted to cut tree limbs with the GWs pole saw. Tall weeds were growing up in my garden around my blueberry bush and the hedge trimmer made it look like the weeds were cut with a lawnmower. I never want to go back to corded yard tools. Good job Greenworks in helping us get yard work done quicker and getting on with our lives.
This is a powerful trimmer. It has large openings, so be careful of your fingers! It zips through the finer branches of hedges very efficiently. Easy to handle once you get the knack of it being on the pole.
New to the Greenworks tools. Decided to try out the cordless hedge clippers and it was awesome!! So light and easy to handle even with the battery installed. Made me want to get out and trim things! This shall be the first of many tools from Greenworks.
My bamboo hedge can grow a foot a week and I needed a trimmer that kept me on the ground with no ladder to climb . This trimmer keeps me safe and makes the chore quicker !
I bought this a month ago and used it to trim several long hedges that were taller than me. The unit had good power to cut and the battery lasted until the job was done. One challenge was the weight balance as the electric motor is on the end with the blades, not in the handle. After a couple hours of trimming, my arms felt fatigued. The battery is not heavier enough to offset the imbalance.
