Efficient & easy to use
Easy to use and with the battery being common to my other Greenworks garden equipment, it is flexible. It is a little bit heavier than I had expected however this doesn’t detract from the overall efficiency.
Good so far!
This is a lightweight tool which is easy to use. It cut through thick branches of my hedge with ease. I was glad not to have to buy a battery as I already have one for my strimmer. The battery power lasted well for one task but I shall see with more use how long it goes on for.
Works well and is robust though a touch on the heavy side but manageble.
Battery is heavy which is the major disadvantage however I still to establish the operational time as the heavy battery may gain merit if the running time is significantly longer?
Powerful and lightweight what more could you want.
Brilliant product! Powerful cutting and very light weight. Quick charging time and easy use without the trouble of cables. Not the cheapest cost but worth every penny I would say. Definitely would recommend if your unsure.
Neat item
I already have a Greenworks blower so it made sense to buy a Greenworks hedge trimmer and share advantage of two batteries/chargers. Easy to handle, portable and cuts well.
Maybe on the expensive side but for me worth it.
Excellent piece of kit.
Really like Greenworks tools, I have the strimmer, leaf blower, lawn mower and this is my second hedge cutter, having given away my first to a friend. I am still using the same batteries that I had with the first purchase, the lawn mower, which are dated 15/03/16 and still going strong. Very Happy.
Fantastic
Used this for the first time with my 6ah battery and only used 25% of it on a stretch of very overgrown privet side and top at least 40ft long well impressed it’s powerfull and hardly used any battery, defo going to invest in strimmer and lawnmower next.
Wow. Never buying two-stroke oil again…
I hate gardening. I particularly hate hedges – time consuming, messy, spiky. For years I either avoided them, or insisted on using big petrol cutters because “battery ones are no good”.
Batteries have changed. When I tried to cut the hedge this year pull-starting my two-stroke cutter was a nightmare, when it ran it belted out fumes that give me a headache, and it vibrated my arms and deafened me slowly before dripping fuel down my arm from a split fuel hose.
Ordered this, plugged the charger in and let it fully charge, then trimmed the hedge. About 60ft of it. It got to 40ft on half charge, as well as the end and a bit of the top, the final 20ft or so it was still going but I was flagging – however this is 60ft of swinging the cutter vertically when my petrol one would gave knackered me in 20ft.
Even as 1/4 charge lit up the cutter showed no signs of struggling with a year’s growth, but after 40 minutes I was happy with progress and popped the battery on the charger.
It’s light, easy to rotate, easy to clear snags, and very quiet. Cuts thicker branches with less faff than a two stroke petrol one and is considerably nicer to work with.
Cons? Few – the only thing that I wasn’t keen on was the noise from the charger; as it reaches full charge the electronic squawk is pretty loud.
I’m a convert and will be ditching my two-stroke strimmer for the electric one from this range. Really impressed and looking forward to trimming more of the garden free of combustion-engine fumes and faff!
Very good hedge trimme
Powerful and easy to use with good battery life. It is much better and easier to use than the last corded hedge trimmer I had. Cut through overgrown hedges without any trouble.
Trims hedges!
Was trimming hedges easy? – Yes. A lot easier than my old corded model. This trimmer cuts through the stuff my old trimmer wouldn’t.
Is it lightweight? – Not for me, but I want durability rather than flimsiness and I can take a rest when I want to. I find that keeping the hedge straight at about 6 foot/1 meter a bit of a challenge. The hedge sides were easy though!
Battery life? – Ah! plenty of battery left when I finished remodelling my hedge, but, according to the manual, I’m not supposed to recharge the battery unless nearly flat! That said, I bought another battery so I always have a fully charged spare.
Would I buy another? – No. Why would I when I’ve got a perfectly good one already? I did buy more cordless garden tools though because of the sheer convenience of not trailing a mains cable around
Would recommend this hedge cutte
Used this for first time today, found it very easy, blades are sharp and cutting through stems . Battery was really good as spent about 40 min, cutting and used only half of battery power, you can check battery power by pushing a button , lights shine showing what power is left. Very good product.
good produc
battery hedge trimmer very good although the power from 40v 2ah battery needs upgraded to 4ah
to give better cutting performance
Excellent purchase
Extremely happy with purchase. Has made trimming hedges and trees so much easier.
Battery life very good, easy to operate.
It’s a little heavy but a small sacrifice for the time saving and convenience it affords.
It’s also reasonably quiet.
Would highly recommend.
Happy so far...
Really is light and easy to use. Happy so far but I haven’t had it long so can’t comment on how durable it is.
It's very light to hold
We used it on our hedge which normal takes an hour to cut and took twenty minutes it’s very light weight and n o electrics to worry about or setting up leads fantastic
Reliable-easy to use- quality hedge cutte
I have a 12 ft high, 40 m hornbeam and laurel hedge surrounding the property. And having used this hedge cutter for a couple of weeks, I must confess, that the hedge has never looked better, or sharper.
To be clear, it is important that the blades are well oiled prior to using, and that the cutting blades are kept sharp, by sharpening and honing. Of course wherever blades are involved this applies. Too, I never let the young seasonal shoots become mature or woody, this would put more stress on the blades than they are designed for. So keep your hedge trimmed weekly during the growing season, and you will make light work of it. For the price, this trimmer and I would put it into the trimmer class, is worth every penny. If you are having to restore an over and outgrown mature hedge, this, is not the tool for it. In which case you will have to invest in the next trimmer class up, and you will be looking at 500.00 plus.
Greenworks cordless hedge trimme
The trimmer was an excellent price and delivery quick. Once received it was put on charge as per the instructions. Once fully charged I immediately started to trim my hedge which at 2m + tall and 5m approx., in length has always been a challenge. It also has some quite hefty branches and brambles in it too. The trimmer coped well and there was plenty of charge left when I had finished. All in all it is fairly light and easy to use. As it is a recent buy and only used once it is difficult to provide a comprehensive review but it is looking promising and I’m happy so fa
Quality item but Chinese!
Met my expectations. Didn’t understand what is the’additional adjustable handle’
Cost of battery/charger is offset by bring able to use across the tool range. I have the strummer and the lawnmower.
Another additio
This is a bare unit addition to my greenworks tools and it is as good as the rest it cuts well has a fairly long reach and is very sharp no more cutting through cables now.
Very good battery life and rotating handle.
Works very well cuts quite sturdy branches without any problem run time is very good.
I have not yet used all thepower in a battery while cutting the hedges.
Only problem is keeping the deadmans handle on all the time when you are cutting.
Nice tool to work with.
Whoever thought of having one battery to fit all of a brands tools, had a brilliant idea. It handy for the manufactures, because you keep buying other tools from their range. I think I have 5 GreenWorks gardening tools now – they all work well. If you have the opportunity to buy 2 batteries, go for it. Now and again GreenWorks makes that offer.
Good Value and robust constructio
Cannot comment on longevity only having used it three times. Pleased with the quality and appears robust and trimmed my hedges without missing a beat. The Amazon deal price was too good to resist. In the time it takes me to unwind the power cable, attach the extension lead and fumble with the said power lead while trying to make a start on my hedge with a cordless I am more or less finished and no leads to tidy and put away.
No cable lead
Cuts well, have a good firm grip on the handles and it is safe and easy to control. If using steps make sure they are on firmly even ground to give you good balance.
The battery is powerful and recharges easily, I am pleased with it.
THE BONUS IS NO CABLE DRAGGING.
Great for small hedges or using from the ground.
This has a good blade length and great battery life. It’s difficult to use up a ladder one handed so I taped the front switch which made it much easier. My hedge is 15 feet high so I use this on the top as the long reach one is too unwieldy. You get a really good cut at ground level and it’s pretty light as well. I haven’t been disappointed with it so can easily recommend it.
well balanced and powerful for a cordless machine
I have a lot of small trees, hedges a vine wisteria etc . I found this trimmer made light work of the trimming once I had worked out how to turn it on, which I did not find easy. Probably deliberately made difficult as a safety device. A long blade and cut a decent thickness with no difficulty, The blade could be rotated to make the job easier. Battery charged up quite quickly
Good quality
Good quality thoroughly recommended. Not too heavy and good battery life. Particularly useful is the ability to rotate the handle enabling you to get close to give a good straight cut to the hedge sides and then rotate the blade to do the top.
Another good product from Greenworks
I have purchased a number of Greenworks products, Lawnmower, Hedge Trimmer, Chainsaw, Leaf Blower/Vacuum and Strimmer and have not been disappointed. Battery life is reasonable and their performance over the last 9 months has been very good.
Battery life, control, noise level, ability to cut thumb thickness pieces of wood are all great. The one problem I’ve had is when a hard bit of dead wood is encountered it occasionally jams the teeth and causes one side of the blades to slip. In order to correct this, a T25 torx key, a small spanner and a sturdy screwdriver are required to loosen and move the blade back to its correct spot. This happened twice in 2 days of demanding hedge cutting. Still much faster and more comfortable cutting than my older Macalister model, that fell apart dangerously after a few years.
This item cuts through thick twigs but is quite heavy to use
it Doesnt come with the protection strip along the centre of the blades length as portraid in the photo
Again it is quite heavy and i wouldnt really recommend it or buy it again especially if a woman would be using it even though the video shows a woman using it, however the item does the job well and will cut quite thick twigs
getting the 40 v battery and charger opens up the world of Greenworks garden tools at a far cheaper price if you buy the tool body only from leaf blowers to chain saws to lawn movers and a pressure washer all use the same 40 v battery
Very good and lighter than you`d expect!
Brought the unit with battery and charger for 60.00 in July 2020 as the reviews were so positive.
Was obviously a bit apprehensive as it seemed too cheap to be any good and half the price of comparable models?
I`m over the moon with it and it cuts fantastically and is a lot lighter than you`d expect and half the price of other comparable hedge cutters.
GRIPE. The battery does take over two hours to charge up so looked to see the price of a spare battery 50 quid!!!! The unit with a batter and charger cost me only 60! So I thought I`d play it clever and buy another cutter with the battery for another 60 which is ONLY 10 more. But now the cheapest online price of cutter with battery and charger as of Sept 2020 116.00!
Exellent easy to use hedge trimmer, well pleased
I found it so easy to use and the best hedge trimmer that I have owned. It does what it says it does and I can highly recommend it especially for ladies. Very fast delivery too
Classy hedge trimmer!
It’s quite heavy and not the easiest to use, but it’s incredibly robust and powerful and pretty much does the same job as a petrol trimmer. The battery life is excellent!
Great value
Was really unsure what hedge trimmer to buy, so spoke to friend who’s a landscape gardener. He recommend Green works. This one was about the right price, reviews looked good so went for it. Really pleased with it. Have used it several times battery life has been good. Easy to use and addictive as I keep looking for hedges and bushes to trim.
This replacement trimmer has not jammed at all, and seems much better.
The blades on this first trimmer that was sent out to me kept constantly jamming, the thickness of wood my husband was cutting, was well in the trimmers cutting specifications. After cutting 18 foot of the top of my hedge the blades permanently jammed.
Excellent product.
This is an amazing Hedge Trimmer. Very silent and does the job very well. So pleased with Greenworks Tools.
Excellent quality
Greenworks really ought to be ‘out there’ more. Second product of theirs that I’ve bought and remain very satisfied. Tackled a large hedge over a couple of days and battery went from 4 lights (fully charged) to two lights with no loss of power. I thought about a petrol clipper but so glad I didn’t. But this was only really good value because I already had the 40v battery from another product and therefore paid the ‘bare’ price.
works well
brought this as keept cutting cable on old one was not sure if they are any good but was proved wrong they are great easy to use get the edge cut quicker would recomend this produc
Cuts like butter but not the cord
Really like this device. It’s easy to handle and not too heavy. Cuts really well includes thicker growth. 4 Ah battery lasts longer than I’ve needed to cut. Absolute pleasure that I don’t have to swing the mains electric cable out of the way anymore. The battery fits easily but a little difficult to remove for charging.
Love it!
I love this hedge trimmer, it’s brilliant. I thought it might be to big and heavy but it’s ideal for me 5’4” and 9.8st. I used up one bar of the 2Ah battery trimming quite a long side of a beech head. It is easy to use and the blade can move to 3 different positions. It has a safety cut out and you can’t accidentally switch it on. Looking forward to using it agai
I got this to replace a petrol hedge cutter multi function things which was a pain to get started. Having spent 30 mins unsuccessfully trying to fire it up I decided to get a battery powered product. Last year I bought a greenworks chainsaw after my Stihl petrol one got stolen, so it made sense to buy this model of hedge cutter as it uses the same batteries. I was surpised at how light it was, lighter than my petrol one. That really helps as it was quite a workout before. So far I have not run the battery down in one session and my hedge is about 50m long. So easy to use, light, reliable – ticks all the boxes as far as I am concerned.
Best Cordless Trimmer!
This is close to professional grade Cordless Trimmer. Very well made, sturdy and efficient especially when dealing with pine/conifers family type of hedges. If you have lots of thick branches then a 36V-40V type of trimmer is more appropriate.
The option to change the angle helps a lot with precision cutting.
After many years of hedge cutting using smelly, noisy, heavier petrol trimmers I decided to look at reviews on cordless trimmers. After a lot of deliberation I plumbed for the Greenworks hedge trimmer. What a lovely user friendly machine. Although not as powerful as petrol models the long cutting blades cut through hedges with ease, battery life approx 40 mins continuous use, full charging approx 90 mins. I wish I had converted to cordless a long time ago, I can certainly recommend this machine.
Delivered much earlier than the date promised at purchase.
The hedge trimmer made easy work of a difficult thorn hedge with task completed on a single charge of the battery. I was not expecting this.
Impressive machine
I used my hedge-trimmer the first time today, I’m very impressed with how well I managed to get the job done.
I am a middle-aged woman and didn’t get any problems using this machine.
Excellent - check the cost of batteries though.
If you already have one or more Greenworks 40V batteries (because you already have a Greenworks lawnmower as I have) then this is a good purchase and an effective, lightweight trimmer. If you do not already have a battery or two, check the costs and the other alternatives. For me though, a great piece of kit.
Light and easy to use.
Brilliant product, light, easy to use, does what it says on the box
very easy to use
super lightweight and quite not like my old petrol one cut through hedge and bushes with ease have now got another battery so even better. might get the strimmer next.
This is a good machine. Pricier than I was looking to pay but having read many reviews of many hedge trimmers opted for this one as I thought, ‘I only want to buy once!’ It is well built; safety on/off switch involves 3x buttons which is needed given that the handle for carrying necessarily involves pressing the lever for trimmer action. The guard is strong and additionally serves as protection when the trimmer is in use. Battery life (2.5amp hours) is more than adequate for my purposes. The trimmer made light work of cutting back a jasmine, 5 metres length and privet hedge, 3.5 metres length. Starting fully charged, the battery charge indicator on the attached battery (a small button needs to be depressed to display status of charge) showed 3 lights remaining out of four to fully cut back overgrown front garden hedge; same for jasmine in back garden. And the battery incidentally is the easiest to slide on/off both the trimmer and the charger. The body of the handle can be swivelled to a horizontal position which is handy for tackling hedges from different angles .Needless to say, great not to have to worry about trailing and cutting cables! My only slight detraction, and it seems hardly fair to mention it as such, is that I found it is a bit on the heavy side for prolonged use. I am small and just 45kg. It is about 4kg with battery attached. There are lighter alternatives on the market. I have, as I say perhaps unfairly, given an overall 4 stars rather than 5 for this reason.
Amazing hedge trimme
Brilliant machine. Battery life best ever, I have tall hedges, it glides through easily, not very heavy. Battery quick to recharge. Wish I’d replaced my old heavy petrol machine ages ago.
good hedgetrimme
Very light, easy to use, good cutting blades. Battery is good, but early days so cannot say if it holds power long term.
Fantastic
Fantastic – best garden kit I have ever bought – very well balanced and easy to use ( not heavy in comparison to others I have owned in the past). Battery life great and quick to recharge
Great item
Great item, battery life seems to be great.
Very solid piece of kit!
Lightweight and safe
Found this hedge trimmer to be really light and comfortable to use, the head also rotates which makes things easier when trying to access other areas. It has a good safety combination of a 2 buttons then the trigger which is great for me as i dont have to worry about the kids picking it up. The 2 Ah batteries last along time and the trimmer never slows, very tidy job and happy with the purchase.
Excellent --Highly satisfied.
I have the Superb 40v Lawnmower and 40v blower from Greenworks so I bought this unit so I could use my existing batteries!
Really top quality and very powerful but well balanced and comfortably light ( I am 73 years old )
More than happy with the Trimmer –Makes cutting my hedges 4 times quicker than my old G-Tech!
Very easy to handle
Cut about 10m x 1.5m conifer hedge used up only half of battery power. Very pleased much easier to handle than petrol trimmer, no fumes and quieter.
A serious machine
Heavy duty cutter for serious work. Not the lightest but it does the job well.
Just brilliant, well balanced, light weight, great produc
I was not expecting the product to be this good. It’s done a brilliant job of my over grown hedges. It light weight and balanced well. It made cutting my hedges effortlessly. The battery pack I used is the same for my green works lawn mower. It lasted till I got the job done easily. Front and back garden.
Effortless gardening
Easy to use once a week nipping the hedge growth and hardly any clean up afterwards. What took me nearly hours once a month now takes me minutes. Clean, quiet, powerfull machine.
Works really well. Not too heavy and good battery life. Particularly useful is the ability to rotate the handle enabling you to get close to give a good straight cut to the hedge sides and then rotate the blade to do the top.
I wanted to have neither the fuss and difficulty of an mains electric hedge trimmer because distances and length of flex are an issue for me nor the horrible noise and faff of a 2 stroke petrol trimmer. This trimmer works as well as either but leaves me able to walk between trimming jobs with no setup to change or accompanying noise.
I already had batteries and chargers so it extends my use of these meaning I have a solution to trimming and pruning that works for me. I am very pleased.
Had already purchased other Greenworks item and have been very happy with them, glad to say that this one hasn’t disappointed either. I have got the extendable hedge cutter but needed a standard one for a slightly less accessible hedge. This one does the job admirably. Like the fact that you can twist the body of the unit to make it easier to use when cutting the side of the hedge. As is the case with all of their items, the battery life is excellent and managed to do 2 20 metre hedges both sides and top, and still have enough life left in the battery to cut the grass with the mower.
I would thoroughly recommend this item.
Excellent products. I began buying Greenworks garden tools last year following a total shoulder replacement. Prior to this I used to cut my 50m of 9 foot high leylandia hedge with a heavy duty 28″ blade Stihl petrol hedge trimmer. To reach the top I had to use a 3 foot high platform and drag/lift it through shrub borders to reach the hedge. First, I bought the combined pole trimmer/hedge cutter – which is brilliant around the top and removes the stress of the platform. However, at its shortest it was still a bit cumbersome to wield around the lower part of the hedge. Investing in this shorter trimmer has completed the set. My hedges can be cut at ease from the ground and with much lighter tools. This trimmer, with its rotating handle produces as good a cut as the Stihl ever did and the battery lasts for ages. I only had to recharge it once to complete the hedge (using both tools)and anyway, doesn’t everyone need an excuse to take a tea break and admire their work in progress?? After three years of relying on others to tackle the hedge I can now reclaim ownership and my OH is relegated to clearing up the clippings!! PS. I bought the 35cm 40v lawn mower – which my OH is allowed to use- which included a battery and charger. I see no need to buy extra batteries above the one I received with the mower – as after the hedge is finished the mower is the only tool that will be used regularly throughout the year.
