I bought this for my husband and it’s like his new Xmas toy. It makes things do much easier for him when he does the yard. I swear if he could do all the neighbors yards he would. He keeps telling me it’s the best thing I’ve bought him !!!
We italians are known for fine cultured bushes. To get perfect cuts you need a fine hand on the cutting blade. This unit is so top heavy, you have to be pretty strong to make fine cuts. It is perfect for long tall flat featureless hedges or for keeping those runaway growth bushes from getting out of control. But you wont be cutting hedges into rabbit shapes. I may have to get the smaller unit for that..or (gasp) keep my corded unit. No need for ear protection+
Not too heavy but it's not super light weight, so be prepared for that. Trims very well! I love that the batteries go with my other Greenworks products.
This is a light weight easy to maneuver tool. I received it, opened the box, and plugged in the battery. The next morning I began using it. “Look out gangly hedges, you are about to be re-shaped!” The 22 inch reach made it very easy to get the hedging done in minimal time. The fact this is cordless, there are no worries about inadvertently cutting the power cord. The battery lasted through hedging what needed to be done. I also like the built in safety features which makes this tool easy to use. I use this product as a consumer, not as a business. My yard is fairly small with mostly desert scape, yet have at least 11 hedge type plants that require maintenance.
I used to use a gas powered weedeater with a hedge trimmer attachment to trim the bushes around our house. It was heavy, unbalanced and a chore to use. I'm so happy with my 60v cordless Greenworks hedgetrimmer. The bar is long, and the hedgetrimmer is light and easily manageable! It makes trimming a breeze!
Very light and well-balanced compared to corded units I have used. Also much quieter but without a loss of cutting ability. highly recommend for the average home gardener.
Light weight. Easy to use. Cuts very good. Battery recharges in about 20 minutes. The last one I bought is still going strong after 3 years. This one was for my son
