As described in product adve
As usual this product comes up to the usual stand of Ryobi products.Ihave used it in a commercial capacity and trialed it for battery duration it lasted along time using a 5ah 18 volt battery .The trick is to only use the trigger when cutting and stop immediately after cutting in other words short bursts. The occational wd40 sprayed on the cutter helps to stop resin build up on the blade thus keeping free movement.
Good trimmer.
This is a powerful trimmer. Batteries are expensive but worth going for a 4 or 5 for that extra juice.

Lightweight, quiet hedge trimme
Easy to use, lightweight and not too noisy do don’t need to use ear defenders.
Superb does exactly what it says on the ti
Brilliant tool
Should have got one years ago
Never have to use my petrol heavy ones again
Can’t recommend highly enough
Brilliant for my hedges!
Wow! Used mainly with the 4 hour battery, it took half the time to do my hedges and with less effort due to the lightweight tool and the manoeuvrability you get with no cord there… Fantastic product!

We have a topped conifer hedge around our property. 2 years ago I had the professionals with the petrol cutters sort the hedge out. Since then I have managed to keep it as they left it by trimming in May and November with this machine. I use a pair of loppers on anything over 1 cm. I have 2 of the weakest batteries, 1 amp? They last when I do the cutting one on charge one working.
I rate this machine & it has paid for itself. Keep it lubed and clean it after each use… look after it!
Best Buy!
Best buy for a while, this is a great product, lightweight and easy to use. I thought I’d have to buy a bigger battery, but my small drill battery is fine for the size of my garden.
Battery powered Hedgetrimme
This is my third Ryobi One +Cordless tool which is the reason why I went for this brand for the hedge trimmer. I already own a Ryobi brad nailer and chain saw and have 1 X 18V – 5 Amh battery which fits all. I have a petrol Stihl hedge trimmer which is very powerful and slices through my hedges when it’s running properly. But this is rare and I’ve had enough of it. I just want to pick up the hedge trimmer and crack on. This is what I did the day I received it. It cut through my privet hedges with no problems at all taking 7 to 8 inches of length off with ease. It’s good at shaping the hedge as well. Clearly a little slower than the petrol hedge trimmer but much lighter and quieter. So I’m happier for it to take a little longer.
I also have Leylandi hedges and again there were no issues with cutting these back up to 6 inches.
Great price of 76.99 with 2-day delivery. Really impressed and considering the price is close to what I will pay for servicing the Stihl version, I am well happy. Next year I will be converting to a battery Lawnmower as I think that battery power has arrived.
My 5amh battery has 4 indicator lights and was at 75% when I started and I still had 1 light illuminated when I finished.
I haven’t timed how long the battery takes to charge as I prepare the charge the day before I intend to use it but I don’t think it is too long. Fully recommend this produc

Good purchase
Love all these battery tools not had a bad ryobi yet. Cuts through my ivy with ease and no cables in the way.
Best hedge cutter around
Fantastic machine.. the best hedge cutter I have ever used and I lend it to my brother for my parents place which has multiple hedges and brush to be cut .. lightweight long but very effective.

Works well.
Works well with separately purchased 5A battery.
It is a little bit heavy when stretching.
Another great tool from Ryobi
Great cordless addition to my collection of the excellent Ryobi tools.
My favourite hedge trimme
I already have two other hedge trimmers, a mains one and a two stroke. Of the three, this is the least powerful, but it is my favourite. Really light and comfortable to use, even up a ladder. For thicker branches, its saw action works really well, and it hardly ever jams. The blades are very sharp and it cuts cleanly and fast.
One point, if you are a professional or have a lot of hedge, you need at least one spare battery. A charge lasts me about 40 min.

Cordless. Way to go
Hedge trimming. No leads or extensions. Straight off it’s hook and use it.
Brill
Brilliant . Don’t let your wife use it cos she’ll cut thru the sky cable in her exciteme
Will never go back to a corded trimmer.
Great tool. Anti jam works well. Quick and easy to use. Encourages little and often trimming.
Ryobi hedge trimme
Bought this as I have other ryobi kit, to be honest I wasn’t expecting it to work so well! definitely recommend
Light weight trimme
I have only used petrol powered trimmers befit which r by nature rather heavy .As I had some ryobi one tools and battery’s I gave this a try
To say I was pleased is an understatement ! Wizard through my large hedge in no time at all !
Excellent buy , very capable tool and lightweight , grea
Amazing product. I cut my entire humoungus annoying lillandi hedge on one battery charge. Through thick stuff too.
I also have the drills and will be investing in chainsaw and lawnmower in time too.
For people who want more info,
Weight: lightweight and easy to handle
Rotation setting: I wasn’t sure I would use it but oh my what a great feature. Turning it 90 degrees to keep the battery weight to the bottom when cutting meant no wrist pain from twisting it.
Blade gaurd and brush: a handy feature to brush the cuttings away from you when cutting. Especially up a ladder so it isn’t falling at you feet.
All round a very versatile product. Another good instalment to my growing Ryobi collection.
Superbly built, reliable and the One+ battery system is brillia
After buying this I’ve since bought a reciprocal saw and circular saw and they all use the batteries I got with my original cordless drill. Every piece of Ryobi kit has been excellent. Fully recommended!

I’ve used a B&D corded hedge trimmer for over 12 years and it’s served me well, but despite the fact that I’m really cautious, I’ve still managed to cut through the cord three times, and choked myself or tripped over the cord many times in between. This thing is a revelation – with a 5amp hour battery it goes on forever – I have a massive garden with a wide variety of hedges and it cuts through almost anything.
As a confirmed ONE+ Ryobi fan already – drill, circular saw, reciprocating saw, 4m chainsaw, fast charger, various batteries – I could not wait to unwrap the hedge trimmer. With around two hundred yards of hedging of various species, e.g. laurel, privet, firs, hawthorn, it is an important tool and, at seventy, the hedging is a challenge.
I have tried them all – petrol, long/short handled electric – but this beats them all (for most task). Although it obviously does not reach as far as my long-handled, it is much lighter and without the disadvantage of a fifty metres plus of cabling trailing after it.
It is very light, has double safety triggers, the blade swivels easily through 180 degrees and, at 96Db, is not particularly noisy; I usually wear a hard-hat, strimmer helmet anyway with ear protectors and face shield.
I just went out to test it and have just cut one half of the hedging, although I did not intend to but it was difficult to stop myself having fun (sad, I know)! It’s a great piece of kit which will make my life so much easier.
All of my Ryobi ONE+ machinery works very well and this is obviosly no exception.
No petrol or electric cables required.
Great piece of kit.I use it to maintain some 110 meters of hawthorn hedging. It is light (compared with petrol driven), does not have the inconvenience of electric cable, powerful and quiet. A 5 amp battery will last about an hour before requiring a recharge, so I have 2. I also purchased the strimmer which although not quite as impressive is quite adequate for a largish garden.
Easy to use
Not as powerful as the old corded one on thicker branches but way more convenient and safer to use.
handy tool
Not as impressive as their battery chain saw but ok for small branches and lasts well
Light and powerful
Very light but powerful trimmer, the hedge sweep is a god send too! Saves picking all the bits up off the top such a time saving optio
Awesome hedge cutte
Ryobi have nailed it with this trimmer and the ONE+ system. This is my goto trimmer. I have electric and petrol ones. Bought this one and could not believe how much better it is than my others. So rather than have it for occasional jobs, it has been the main trimmer for cutting back 75 metres of growth on a traditional country hedge. Just need 2 batteries and the job took nearly half the time. Awesome
Nice trimme
I like this tool as it is very sharp from new and the end of the blade allows you to chop quite thick bushes and branches. The head swivels which is a nice feature although I prefer to just change the angle i cut at. I use a 5ah battery and i use it for 30 to 40 minuets on thick heavy hedges and it still has power left. I don’t think it is to heavy compared to some that are out there.
Very powerful and easy to use
Don’t think about, if you know about Ryobi just buy it.

Worth the high price.
So light and easy to use even with a 5ah battery, the hedge sweep is easy to take off and on and works well, the body rotation is a nice touch and is easy to use.

A most useful tool.
The hedge cutter is easy to use and gives a very good finish on our Leylandii hedge. It is well balanced with a 5aHr battery which gives it a good length of use.

Quality Hedge Cutte
I like the light weight of the tool so it is easy to use for a good period of time without tired arms & it cuts well
It's cut through my wild hedge. Great sensible idea about One battery fits all
New to Ryobi appears very well made got some very good touches on it. Cut through a heavy wild hedge very well. Very impressed with the idea of having one battery fits all common sense at last. Would have been 5* if it was not for the shoddy attempt at an Allen Key holder!

Well pleased. It made swift work of my whole garden (front and back) without any of the fuss of my old cabled trimmer.
Perfect for the job.
Just the job, easy to use, cuts well. Gets a little heavy after a while but that’s expected.

Cuts like a dream right out the box just add a battery and off you go

Really great tool. Comfortable to hold, light, yet very powerful. Makes light work out of any hedge.
Works brilliant. Cuts all hedges very well. Unit feels a little flimsy but has great performance. Cut 260ft hedge at 8 ft high with 4ah battery and only used 2 bar power.

It’s lighter than even an expensive petrol equivalent and has a rotating handle for awkward corners.It cuts tough hedging almost as effectively as my Husqvarna petrol hedgecutter but it is equally good on moderate hedges such as privet or yew. The lack of petrol smell in face is good news and it is less exhausting and noisy than the standard fuel types. It works with a larger and smaller battery, the latter making it even lighter although that works for less time. Battery life so far has been very good-I’ve cut a hedge for over forty minutes with no noticeable drop in power. It came with free hedge sweeping gadget which is a bonus. Altogether I feel it has been a good buy.
Cordless tools ideal for working in the allotme
Like all the other tools I have of this range – brilliant. The battery system and power of this tool, like my strimmer, makes it ideal for use in my allotme

Brilliantly priced assuming you have the one+ batteries, alot better than my previous trimmer. In terms of battery duration was happily trimming for about 15 minutes on a battery that had previously been used to drill some holes in a wall and still had plenty of juice to go so no complaints here.
Highly recommended.
I have two of these. Excellent product…nice and light, even with a 4Amp battery. Good cutting performance, no problems whatsoever. Highly recommended.
This is a quite awesome piece of kit, easily comparable to a petrol driven hedge trimmer.
Very happy with its performance and ability to cut through quite woody growth. It can jam, but easily frees up afterwards with (apparently) no harm done.
Now if only it could rake up after itself I would give it 10 stars 🙂

Excellent bit of kit if nice and light to use and worked very well.
Just used to trim our beech hedge. Easy to handle, good cutting power, even the thicker branches. Was using the largest battery pack 5.0 ah and it only used 1 bar out of four. I was cutting for approx 1hr on and off. I would recommend this product. I love the fact it is cordless. I much prefer the Ryobi to my corded black & decker hedge trimmer.
Great tool - not too heavy, good at cutting and lasts a reasonably time with the 1.3Ah batteries I have.
Great tool. Plugged in the battery from my drill and whizzed round the hedges in the garden, took next to no time. Now have to wait a few weeks before I can trim them again!

Perfect ONE+ Garden Tool
Excellent product, better than expected. Cut a 100m coarse privet hedge in just 2 hours using the 4.0 Ah Battery, the Battery only needing recharging for the last 5m! Used to take 6 hours with my old corded trimmer!

Great buy, really good value. Easy to use and works really well.
Great cord free trimming
This was bought for me as a present to replace a corded trimmer. I love it. Not only are the blades longer than its predecessor but it is much easier to use, well balanced, and the battery lasts for longer than I need it meaning that I get my hedging jobs done in around half the time the I used to need with the shorter corded trimmer. Safety features seem good – it cuts out quickly if you let go of one of the two drivers.

Have a large set of 18v swappable battery tools. Love the ryobi brand and they represent good value for money but good performance.
Light & easy to use
Light & easy to use & battery lasts forever, my father inlaw who’s 85 uses it & finds it extremely light to use.
love the system
Brilliant. Cuts like butter. Whole system really good. Have a drill and planning more men’s toys to attach to same battery. Need two batteries if going to have continuity when doing a job.

Amazing Hedge Trimer A+++++
One For The Dads 🙂 Love it love it! This is a serious piece of equipment. Cuts my hedge with pure ease.
Surprisingly good cut!
Arrived promptly. I was surprised how good this was. I have been using with old NiCad batteries. It will be even better with the latest batteries.
Does exactly what it says on the ti
Ran for nearly an hour doing mine and parents hedges using large capacity battery. It was less than half depleted when finished.
... before have I used a hedge trimmer and felt like a jedi wielding a light sabe
Never before have I used a hedge trimmer and felt like a jedi wielding a light saber. This thing is so light (even with the battery) and was capable of cutting through all the branches / twigs in its path.

very easy to use no more cut wires bit expensive
Probably my favourite Ryobi purchase – lasts a good 25 minutes and is very comfortable with the clever twisty grip and handle. Also the simple but perfectly formed plastic guide on the top of the blades means I don’t spend anything like as long collecting the clippings from the top of the hedge. Well done Ryobi.
