A great well made set of hedge trimmers. These trimmers are powerful and easily dealt with my fir tree hedges. The sections slot together once lined up correctly but do require a wee push to connect properly. Probably the factor that will limit their use is the weight. As with all trimmers where the motor is at the cutting end of the pole, they are heavy when held between 45 degrees and horizontally. Having said that, I’m very happy with these trimmers
Really pleased with purchase very efficient hedge cutter and long handle allows management of high growth. When using the extension the motor obviously becomes heavy but if you work in stages it’s absolutely fine. Would recommend
I bought this as it seemed lighter than all the others but it’s soo heavy and awkward. I’m pretty fit but it’s a killer leaves you all shakey afterwards. It’s also not great at cutting much more than very light new growth
I have a growing number of Ryobi machines, all powered by the same battery system. I have been very please by all of them. Their flexibility and operating battery system makes life so much easier, especially on jobs away from power or where a long lead would be an issue.
I made a mistake with this one operate by a power lead. It looks exactly like the battery system but I misread the advertising. I returned it nd bought a battery powered system, exactly the same in appearance but without the lead. Return and refund were very simple and quick.
I have no doubt this wired system will be great for this with easy access to power.
I attached and unattached the extensions a dozen times and perfect and safe each time.
I used the 90 degree , 45 degree and upright angles with ease multiple times.
The blades are so sharp you can trim with the blades sideways on.
I unboxed the item probably the wrong way round and so missed the supplied strap ( I managed without it) and also the instructions. There are 4 caps on the poles that are to protect the 4 pin sockets on the poles when not in use. Simply remove these , line up the arrows , push together and tighten.
I have already got half my money back now in having not paid someone. I think I will probably now get the Ryobi hand chainsaw to control the main stems of my 10feet wide fur tree.
This I find to be a tough quality item that should last years.
When fully extended it is a bit top heavy and you need to not over extend yourself . I will use this again but not fully extended, got the job almost done.
Cuts well good up high heavy at vertical good buy
Excellent piece of kit, we have a large bay tree in our garden which had got a bit high, it is also on a raised section of the garden so is difficult to get to the top of it. Although this machine is a bit heavy and requires careful use, it works brilliantly, very pleased with it.
Not the most powerful but adequate for the job. Only 450w so can use a 30m extension cable fully unrolled without issue. Light enough to use for a long period and powerful enough for all but the thickest branches. Costs a fraction of similarly specified petrol trimmers.
Received very quickly. Easy to assemble. Well made but it is HEAVY and would suggest that use in short spells of 20 to 30 minutes until you are used to it. The only criticism I have is registering with Ryobi. I think that they have made it so complicated hoping you will give in.

Good product for dealing with our high hedge. Total length includes cutter: we thought there was a section missing from pole as length did not match the advertised 4m: the pole is just over 3m. Possibly the one we were sent had previously been returned, judging from state of the box, and the fact that it had been re-taped.
The shoulder strap which is standard has limited use for me, so maybe the more expensive alternative strap would have been better.
I love it. Nice build quality. Its enabled to do a large hedge in a fraction of the time. It is heavy but once I learnt to use it correctly that wasn’t such an issue.
My husband gets on very well with the trimmer but is a little havy for me. Gives very good cuts
Great reach with extension pole, quite heavy though so do need the shoulder support, but powerful getting through branches etc with ease
Cuts really well, would be better if it was a little lighter, however if it was they may not cut as well.
I’m happy to recommend these hedge cutters.
I bought this for my husband who says it is one of the best tools he owns. It is cordless and not to heavy and can reach high places
Great hedge trimmer with the extra reach easy to use quick to put extension i
I really wanted this to be great but it falls a little short. Reach is good and it cuts through quite thick hedge well. Unfortunately I’m a big bloke and it is very heavy when extended. Think twice if you have muscle or joint problems as you will struggle with it.
well designed and versatile A tad heavy for long periods of use.
This trimmer has a good sturdy blade which will cut through fairly thick foliage, and with the adjustable angle head makes it easier to reach otherwise awkward areas.
As it’s a mains powered trimmer it could possibly be improved by a counterbalance weight to affix to the handle as this might make it a little less strain on one’s shoulders.
I like it though (and so do my neighbours!).
Great item that does the job well, a bit heavy at full extend
Great piece of kit and cuts hedges no problem. My only complaint is it is heavy.
This is my second pole cutter, couldn’t find anything better. Price is value for money, it can get heavy with extension pole added as weight of motor at front, especially if you have used it for half an hour +. Still does what it says , cuts through most vegetation with ease. 5/5
Works well.Good reach and tilt leaves it easy to shape hedge. Slightly heavy at full extension.
Invaluable for cutting high hedge. Far safer than climbing up a ladder and way cheaper than getting a gardener in to do it. Thoroughly recommend it. Supplied with uk plug.
This hedge trimmer is well constructed and cuts like a dream. The pole sections fit together easily and fast. The total cutting length of 4m is great apart from the weight of the motor section. I’m relatively strong but wow swinging this around for a few hours you will feel like you’ve completed a intensive gym session. So wouldn’t recommend for the week go for lighter version. The only criticism I have is the smallest length is 2m which I find difficult to use on some small hedges. You are standing 2m away so controlling is harder. Would be great if both pole sections could be removed for close up work. Overall good rating as the cutting power is far better than any battery operated system. Just remember book a massage for the day after you’re need it.
Product is required to have a proper UK 3 pin plug fitted.
imming hedges and high conifers – it got me to parts of the garden I could not previously reach!
This machine saves me going up stepladders and does exactly what i want, can be used upside down to trim bramble on waste grounds, a very good purchase
When it arrived I guess the reason for the original return became apparent. It had been fitted with a continental plug.
I chatted to support and explained this is in contravention of UK sales laws on electrical goods. I was offered a full refund partial refund to buy an adapter or a full refund if preferred. I pointed out that for any adapter to be UK legal would have to be a fixed (screw-in) model and that the hassle of returning this item in a damaged box was a bit much given the fact it was not legal to start with. After conferring with superior it was decided I would get a full refund AND could dispose of the item myself or send it back. My local electrician has since refitted the item with a UK plug. 🙂
Hedge trimmers work a treat but are still heavy at over 4 kilos and not for the weak muscled.
I’ve found this product as a woman very heavy to hold and lift up for long . It does everything it says it should do but too heavy really for me
I spent some time looking at different types of cutter to prune a bay tree. In the end I chose this one, it works really well. it is a touch heavy but that does not matter for short time I will be using it. It used to take about two hours with pruners and telescopic pruners balancing on a ladder. now it is done within 20 minutes. I did not buy face shield at the time , I have now as it s a must.
Good quality and very king to get over deep bushes.
I was aware of the weight issue prior to purchase but I thought I’m a big guy, I can handle this. Well it’s still a struggle! It’s not balanced well and the weights all in the head. That said it cuts very well and is good value for money. I don’t regret buying it. FYI I weigh in at more than 15st. Draw your own conclusions.
While some may find this item heavy, it certainly does the job.
Excellent, gift for my husband after he fell off the ladder and seriously injured his arm whilst trying to cut our hedge manually. Our garden is in a steep hill! The hedges trimmer is a much safer way of cutting the hedge.
This is really good for cutting hedges, bushes and grass. It is quite heavy so you do need to wear the harness that comes with it to take the weigh. As hedge trimmers go it is not noisy. It comes in three parts, the central section can be left out if you don’t need the full reach.
just as described, although came with a European 2 pin plug, and no extra cable.
Its fairly heavy, but balances well with the strap – well made and cuts well.
Having a mains lead is not an issue and saves the cost and weight of a battery. As I was using a shredder to compact the clippings I needed power anyway.
Works well. Only down side is that it is fairly heavy. Seems robus
Not sure this is actually made in Poland as it doesn’t speak, but does what it says on the tin and trims my hedge perfectly. Buy two, one for each hand, you won’t be disappointed.
