The Hedge Trimmer is powerful and cuts very well. Has long blades coupled with a long reach makes it easy to cut my tall 8 foot plus cedar hedge. It's a little top heavy so I suggest the unit be refitted with a strap close to the blade rather than the handle. This in my opinion would make it easier to handle. You certainly get a better view and perspective on your cuts because your not up as close to the hedge as a standard size trimmer. Overall I am very satisfied with the product and would not be without it. I cut a 170 ft. long hedge continuously and the Trimmer handled it with ease.
I just finished cutting my hedges, which run along 2 sides of my home. One hedge is 75’ long and 16’ high, the other is 65’ long and 12’ high, this trimmer saves so much time over my 24” trimmer it was unbelievable!! I was able to face the sides without having to use a ladder very much and when trimming the top was able to trim a much larger area when I was at the top of the ladder. It is a little heavier when fully extended but I was able to use it but took a few breaks for water and rest ( I’m 60 years old). Bottom line, excellent product and wished I bought one years ago!!!
Good trimmer with good powerwhen not extended. When extended it does become top heavy and tends to flex. Cutting at a 90 degree angle is good for tops of shrubs, a little unwieldy when extended.

Cuts well, heavy!

Being wired, it has good amount of power to cut efficiently. Bit heavy to hold extended but i dont use it very often so it's fine. One negative - the ring that the shoulder strap clips to broke on the first day. i'll have to try to get a replacement from the company under warranty. The ring looks like it is designed to come off the pole using a screw driver.
Glad I came across Snow Joe while looking for a Long Reach Electric Bush Trimmer on line. Good price, quick shipping and a great trimmer.
Pros: Great Value, Easy To Use, Unique Features, Easy to assemble, Powerful
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not bad cuts good handles horrible

This unit cuts great the the balance is horrible, and without a switch lock it is actually unmanageable. I tape the switch on, wife stands there with the cord ready to plug and unplug to turn on and off, its just aweful, balance is non existent. Would I buy again, maybe, but you are going to have to modify the switch arangement to use it

I have been trimming my hedge for 30 years. We have been renting a scaffold every year. My neighbor was injured this year and it got me thinking there must be a better way. I never buy over the internet, but I saw this and gave it a shot. Works extremely well. Great design. Top heavy, so take it easy. Hedge looks great.
