As far as the job of trimming the hedge goes. It is perfect however, I should like to see more attention to the fact that it weighs so much. More clearly show
Great sturdy well made produc
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
Efficient hedge cutte
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
It’s alrigh
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
Ryobi is a great system
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.
Really impressive item. It clicks and snaps shut with a solid expensive and sure feel. It has done an amazing clean trim of my fur tree. The motor never even got warm in using it for 30 mins plus.
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.
I have used this twice now once fully extended. Once with one pole and easier with one pole.
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.

Ryobi hedge trimme
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.

Does the job.
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.

Heavy Piece of Equipme
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.

Does the job well
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.
A very good product that has performed excellently.
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.
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.

Hedge trimme
My husband gets on very well with the trimmer but is a little havy for me. Gives very good cuts
Good value and powerful moto
Great reach with extension pole, quite heavy though so do need the shoulder support, but powerful getting through branches etc with ease
Solid Cutters
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.
Versatile hedge trimme
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 trimme
Great hedge trimmer with the extra reach easy to use quick to put extension i
Not bad for price
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.

Easily assembled and then does what I expect it to do
well designed and versatile A tad heavy for long periods of use.
A powerful and versatile trimme
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!).
Hedge trimme
Great item that does the job well, a bit heavy at full extend
Works well but heavy
Great piece of kit and cuts hedges no problem. My only complaint is it is heavy.
A good cutter, all assembles well. Can get heavy especially if you have the pole extension added.
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

Rubio pole hedge trimmer.
Works well.Good reach and tilt leaves it easy to shape hedge. Slightly heavy at full extension.
horoughly recommend
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.

Pole system hedge trimme
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.
Great Trimmer but it is supplied with a non standard Euro 2 pin plug
Product is required to have a proper UK 3 pin plug fitted.
cable a little short but a minor detail
imming hedges and high conifers – it got me to parts of the garden I could not previously reach!
Should have bought soone
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
I bought a discounted version of the ryoby hedge trimmer – which I suspect was a return – at a decent discount.
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.
It’s heavy
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

Great produc
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
Good quality and very king to get over deep bushes.
Does the job but very heavy!
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, must have
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.

An excellent deal from Amazon. My husband cut a very high bougainvillea hedge in one day as opposed to three days with other hedge trimmer. Also the cost of the hedge trimmer was less than having a professional in to do the job. He did find it heavy as he was continually reaching, but for a very fussy 80 year old he did a great job.
Great bit of kit.
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.
I got the UK model with a proper mains lead and shoulder strap. As long as you use the strap it isn’t too heavy and it made quick work of my 10′ hedges. Certainly a faster than a ladder and shears/loppers but don’t forget the main time consumer is getting rid of the clippings. I have also used it for clearing undergrowth but in this case you can’t use the strap.
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.
Bit heavy for female use
Works well. Only down side is that it is fairly heavy. Seems robus
Does what it says on the ti
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.

A Cut Above.
Does what it says on the tin. A bit heavy but works very well.
This tool has done a job for us after the typical story of cutting thru the cable of the previous one.
As others have said, it is heavy. I didn’t get on with the shoulder strap I am a 6ft1″ triathlete and I struggled after 20-30 minutes fighting a 9-10ft hedge about 1m wide which we adopted when we moved. I needed an assistant to keep things like the cable in check.
The 90deg flat cut function is useful, but over a certain height or at a particular level of thickness, becomes unworkable. I found I had to have the assistant help me climb ladders, but the cutter in the long telescopic single pole formation, then sweep the hedge from the top, that worked reasonably well. In the end, we took about 2ft height off of about a 4m long hedge, but it was an epic battle. This also fixed the problem of reach, because the hedge was too deep to cut the whole width from front and back. There will be more coming off in the spring. I suspect when we get the hedge under control, this might be a much more agreeable regular task with this tool
I think if i was doing this again i might invest in hiring a chainsaw to hack thru it OR doing some thinning out of some branches first. If you or someone else has left the hedge untackled for some time, so the bark is thicker and tangled, you are going to struggle with any consumer device of this sort. But since I’m an obstinate b*gger I’ll be continuing with this.
Ryobi RPT4545M extended Pole Hedge Trimme
Excellent piece of equipment, it certainly beats trying to balance on a step ladder on uneven ground to reach those higher hedges or bushes, the only minus side to it is it does get quite heavy after a while, good job for the shoulder strap, overall I’d certainly recommend them.
so much better than his previous (non bendy)
I bought this for my husband’s birthday and he absolutely loves it. so much better than his previous (non bendy) one

Certainly gives you a workout.
Still needed a ladder.
Very useful
This did a good job on a hedge which had grown out of control and is difficult to access. Yes it is quite heavy but it needs to be in order to be strong. I found the hedge took most of the weight and it helps the bring weight to the cut. The trimmer will cope with quite thick branches.

Great bit of kit Woking better than expected
Great bit of kit Woking better than expected, although it becomes very heavy using at full length but just take a break and get down the gym.
Wonderful
Wonderful product. A little on the heavy side but slices through hedge without any trouble. Easy to use, easy to fit the different sections together.
No more steps!
Well made and cuts well but a bit heavy when outstretched. Not a problem for short term use by 74 year old not wanting to climb steps anymore.
Good buy
Excellent quality, cuts well, but as most reviews say, it is rather heavy when fully assembled. Being able to remove the extension section, when maximum reach is not required, is a useful feature.

The unit is very sturdy ,and gives a good cut ,but unfortunately it is topheavy,which makes it tiring to use .
I find that using it in short bursts,is a better way to use it and less demanding on the back and shoulders.

It does the job as expected but is rather heavy and unwieldy. However, the switch is too far from the actual trimmer when the extension is on and this makes it a bit difficult to operate.

Nice piece of equipment does the job
Nice piece of equipment does the job, only issue it is top heavy & can put strain on your back.
A good bit of ki
Simple to unpack/use. Did what I wanted. Easy to use at ground level, however, only for short periods as the weight of the cutting head is tiring (guess the same issue applies to all these types of trimmers). Overall very pleased with the item and would buy it again if needed.
