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.
Good bye cords and gas. Don't have to worry about chopping my extension cord which I've done twice with my old hedge trimmer. I really like the twist handle on my new Greenworks trimmer. Makes the trimmer safer to use especially on rounded plants like low lying boxwoods. The power is great but I absolutely love going all in with the 80v battery.
I’m a 59 year old woman. This was lightweight and easy to use. It is now part of my green works yard tools collection. I highly recommend this hedge trimmer.
