Read a lot of reviews for this product and others before buying. So what’s good, the head shaft and the cutter shaft separate easily so storage and transportation is easy. The weight is well balanced, many reviews state how heavy it is, well compared to others it’s not, some people have to accept they’re too weak to manage tools like this. Good reach. The start and stop buttons are okay. The run time very good, as YouTube review said you run out of energy before it does. What’s not so good, the charge time is very slow, but given how long it runs that was okay. The blades are not that robust so only manages thinner growth, if the hedge or bush is established and the stems are more than the size of a thumb then it won’t manage it, so any growth like needs sorting first and the n set cut will be manageable. I was surprised there was no sheath for the blade, which seemed a bit penny pinching. Overall my view is a well priced , well balanced and easily transportable and storable piece of kit.Read full review

I'm a pro gardener but I work in domestic gardens. All my power tools are battery operated and the majority are aimed at domestic use - (I find it more profitable to get 'decent' domestic tools rather than expensive pro tools). This tool is disappointing compared to other Black & Decker products I have (the strimmer is excellent for example). It's flimsy overall and the cutting speed is laboured. It can't cope with branches of any real thickness. However, I can't compare to other products as it's the first long-reach trimmer I've owned. All I can do is judge it according to the job it's meant to do, and this doesn't cut the mustard for me (or indeed the hedges!). Weight isn't an issue (for me), and it does adjust for angle of cut. The mechanism to do this is wobbly and unstable. I'd be surprised if it lasts for very long. The price is near the lower end, and frankly the product matches that. I now wish I'd invested a bit more cash for something of superior quality.Read full review

I have only had this machine for a few weeks, but so far it has preformed very well. Easy to use and the battery last longer than I was expecting.

This Hedge Trimmer is not very user friendly, its far too top heavy and difficult to use at extended length, it's like using an out of balanced set of lifting weights, it's unwieldley and potentially dangerous. I cannot recommend this garden tool unless your a weightlifter.

Cordless shearers, what a joy not to have to get out a mile of cable, I accept doing that isn't the ultimate hardship and the battery power is a luxury which will run low over time and all is exspencive, but as a luxury its easy of use is a total Joy
