So far so good, however the weight is slightly higher than I would have liked it to be.
Pros: Quiet, Powerful
I would recommend this to a friend!
Response from greenworkstools.comBy Greenworks, August 11, 2026
We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear the pole hedge trimmer has been performing well for you so far. Powerful tools require robust components, and our 80V Pro line is specifically engineered with high-capacity power, larger motors, and heavy-duty gearboxes to tackle demanding jobs, such as cutting thick 1.2-inch branches at up to 3,200 strokes per minute. As a result, these features can add weight compared to lower-voltage tools.
If minimizing weight and fatigue is your top priority, our 24V and 40V platforms offer lighter-weight alternatives designed for standard residential trimming while still delivering excellent performance.
To help improve comfort during extended use, we recommend using a supportive harness such as the Greenworks Shoulder Strap for select pole saws, string trimmers, and blowers. The adjustable strap and padded shoulder cushion are designed to help distribute the tool's weight more evenly and reduce strain on your arms. Proper harness adjustment allows your upper body to support more of the tool's weight while maintaining a balanced and comfortable working position.
For additional guidance on tool ergonomics, harness setup, and maintenance tips, please visit the Greenworks YouTube channel. If you have any questions or need assistance selecting the right tool platform or accessories for your property, our Customer Success team is always happy to help. They can be reached either using the online chat function, on Greenworks Tools website, or by calling 1-888-909-6757.

Great Extended Hedge Trimmer Meets the Mark

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Greenworks has available their newly designed 80W 20" Cordless Pole Hedge Trimmer with 2.0Ah battery and 4A charger. The box includes the pole trimmer, detachable handle, 4A charger, 2.0Ah battery, plastic blade protector, and paperwork. The pole trimmer/battery comes with a 4-year warranty.
PROS:
-----------
* It's ready to use out of the box once the battery is fully charged.
* The brushless motor on this trimmer will typically last longer than a normal brushed motor and provide more power.
* It's not light at nearly 15 lbs; however, it's much lighter than a gas pole hedge trimmer, even when using carbon fiber extension rods that some manufacturers offer.
* The 2.0Ah battery is good enough to trim the top of 10 big bushes I have in my yard and plenty of life left when done.
* The blades are razor sharp, made of high-quality steel, and make very precise cuts.
* The motor is strong enough to slice through thick branches like butter. I don't have exact measurements of branch diameters, but basic branches were no problem at all—the trimmer sliced through them effortlessly and left everything looking clean and tidy.
* I like the way this "safety trigger" is designed. There's a small piece that has to be moved forward under the trigger before it's depressed. This is much better than having a trigger that has to be pressed by the opposite hand on the handle closest to the blades.
* With the provided 4A charger, I was able to charge the provided 2.0Ah battery from 0% to 100% in about 45 mins
* The charger can be free-standing on 4 rubber feet or mounted with 2 screws. The battery has a very snug fit, so I found it beneficial to mount it so it would be easier to remove the battery.
* The flexibility of the trimmer head being able to bend down to 90-degrees OR up at 45-degrees allows the user to cut the tops of bushes or the underside easily. The head can be clicked in place in 7 different positions.
* The pole allows for 7.5-ft extension
* The battery can be used with other 80V Greenworks tools.

CONS:
-----------
* I wish the blade protection sleeve was a thicker and tighter plastic. This sleeve falls off if the trimmer is angled downward, and it's quite flimsy as well.
* The pole length is set - it's not telescoping.

OTHER OBSERVATIONS:
-----------
* Due to the brushless motor, it doesn't have an "instant-on" feel. After you trigger it ON, it takes about a half-second to actually start which is a bit different, but something I have gotten used to.
* When the battery is charging, the charger does have a low-to-medium humming sound as the charging motor is operating.
* This blade is shorter; however the pole still makes it nearly impossible to trim smaller round bushes that are 1 to 2-ft in diameter. This pole hedge trimmer is great for cutting bushes to be flat but can cut some rounded edges depending on the angle the user is taking.

CONCLUSION:
=====================
This pole hedge trimmer makes the trimming of taller or bigger depth bushes much easier than having a regular hedge trimmer. A ladder isn't needed as often especially to trim the top of bushes flat with the adjustable head. That is a great feature that I use each time I trim my bushes. The pole trimmer isn't so heavy that I need to use a strap, but I have that option if needed. I wouldn't change a thing on this pole trimmer. It's a well though-out design but could use a better blade sleeve. Great job, Greenworks! I would buy again and highly recommend.
