Verified Purchase:Yes
I have used it for about a month on some heavy invasives and it has cut well without jamming. The battery seems to last as advertised. I like the rotating handle/blade feature. So far so good.

This product is great. I was skeptical about the idea or a cordless electric unit but this unit great capacity.
I also like the idea of the detachable battery. That way I can use it on a future GREENWORKS string trimmer that I plan to buy at some point.

Quality is heading south!

Corners were cut on this model. Cheap plastic partial blade protector for storage (my wired model completely wraps around and is hard plastic. Also, no rounded metal protector for end of blade. This is a big deal because it protects blade when working near the ground. Greenworks is selling out to cheap materials and trimming cost. 😞
Pros: Easy to Use, Quiet, Effective
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This trimmer allows me to clean up what the” mow, trim& edge” crew leaves me with on their paid visits. One charge allows me to circle whole house and retrieve!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The greenworks 40v trimmer I just purchased works fine but starts slow is noisy and the double safety feature is ridiculous.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello WHEINECKE.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are glad your Greenworks 40V trimmer is working well. The Greenworks 40V 24" Hedge Trimmer (MODEL# HT40B212) is designed for instant startup, so there is no intentional delay built into the tool. Some noise underload is normal for battery-powered trimmers, and the double safety feature is designed to help prevent accidental starts and keep you safe while operating the tool.
If you notice any excessive or inconsistent startup delay, here are some tips that may help:
Ensure proper battery seating: Make sure the battery clicks securely into place. A loosely connected battery can cause intermittent power or startup issues.
Check the handle position: The rear handle rotates for versatility, but it must be locked in a valid operating position for the trimmer to start.
Inspect for obstructions: Debris, sap, or thick branches can jam the blades. If the motor senses an obstruction, it may temporarily prevent startup to protect the tool.
Reset the tool: If the trimmer has been idle, removing and reinserting the battery can “power cycle” the system and clear temporary safety modes.
These brief delays are typically part of the built-in safety features and are not a concern unless the unit fails to start altogether. For detailed operating instructions, please refer to the product manual or Greenworks support page.
If you need further assistance or guidance, our team is happy to help call 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS) or start a Live Chat on the Greenworks Tools website.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a big fan of GreenWorks tools and have purchased quite a few over the years. This is my third hedge trimmer. Does a great job and super easy to use. Running time on the battery works well for me (but I have a few batteries given my purchases over the years). Highly recommend.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Durable, Effective, Powerful
I would recommend this to a friend!
