Great high and wide hedges
As the title says, it reaches the parts other shears can’t. I used it for the first time and it did exactly what is said it would do. Also had to trip some undergrowth so I could change a light bulb which illuminates part of the garden. Great device, makes some aspects of gardening much easier. Worth every penny.
Good reach
Nice unit – Alittle bit top heavy at times but has made my hedge cutting much safer than climbing on the stepladder. Battery life seems OK always an excuse to have a break ” Waiting for the battery to charge. Darling!!”
Struggles a little with hawthorn.
Light weight and simple to operate. Struggled a bit to cleanly cut fresh green hawthorn hedge as chewed it a bit rather than cleanly cutting. Seems to cut fine on conifer.
Cuts well
Found it heavy after using it to cut a high hedge after five minutes. Could be as I’m nearly 70 and not as strong as I thought I was.
Still did a very good job and very good battery life. Also I can interchange the battery with my Worx strimmer. My next purchase will be the Worx battery mower.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great tool
A bit heavier than I thought when extended, but does a great job
Decent hedge trimme
It does the job, not too heavy for a small 59 year old woman with no muscles. Still needed the stepladder to cut the top of the hedge though – couldn’t seem to get the right angle otherwise
5.0 out of 5 stars Brillia
I don’t need to stand on a ladder any more, this is much safe
Easy high-reach hedgecutting
I bought this to cut my hedge and also to trim the straggly top of some acers, both of which it did perfectly.
I have a couple of other Worx products, which I’ve been using for some time now, which is why I chose this. It uses the same battery as them, so buying it ‘bare’ like this is not only cheaper, but also more eco-friendly
Not bad
The product itself is well built but the balance is not as good as petrol variants because there is no counterbalance when fully extended. This in turn makes it hard work cutting for a long time. For short periods it’s fine and cuts as expected.
Appears to be well made. The 2.0Ah battery seems to last well. The charge indicator on the battery is very useful. Easy to operate but the weight of the motor is at the extended end of the tool so it can get heavy quickly, though the shoulder strap can help.
Cuts ok but I wouldn’t suggest it as the only hedge cutter for anyone with anything other than minimal needs. As a second cutter for hard to reach areas it is great.
Great hedge trimme
I have a lot of work tools that share the same battery. This one did not disappoint great bit of kit. Good build quality and trimming my very tall conifers was made easie
Good sturdy produc
Excellent product, only issue is that it is very heavy.
Stronger than my pervious telescopic trimmer (flymo)
Much better than the flymo one and cuts quicker so less energy needed. Also, battery lasts longer. But its tiring and heavy (I’m 42 and female, but tall and fit/do lots of DIY and refurbs as I’m also a landlord). You need to get a knack with the strap and angle it in to your hips.
battery cutte
bought as i have a couple of other worx items and the battery pack fits them all.
it is reasonably light weight, simple to use, the adjustable angle head is useful. but geared towards light duty cutting.
it did not arrive with the support handle as the imagery would suggest but for short periods of use just holding the pole and the power control handle is alright but the balance even with the shoulder support strap is not great.
as a safety feature the power lever must be depressed to run the cutter so your grip on the handle is set, and without the support handle movement can be a little awkward.
overall a good light duty piece of equipme
4.0 out of 5 stars works well but poor weight distributio
Powerful and efficient but rather awkward to use because the control and battery (the heaviest section) are right at the end.

Versatile.
Works exceptionally well, instructions for use are pretty vague though, and could do with improving. The use of ‘idiot proof’ pictorial representation rather than straightforward text leaves a lot to be desired. Also, be warned that chain lubrication oil is required, which is not supplied with the machine.

The DIY Lightweigh
Excellent product with a user-friendly design and portability. Very easy to use, clean, and store.
Excellent value for money
Am continually surprised by worx products. Easy to use even at full extension, battery lasts well. Not built for cutting through thicker branches (of course) but I used this to do my hedges and neaten the tree crowns – no problem and much safer that working up a ladder.

Excellent item
It’s easy to use and put together and take apart great item
great tool - if a little heavy
works great – quick, cuts through most stuff i need it to with ease. little heavy when using for any length of time!
Works well.
Fairly well balanced although a little top heavy as you might expect with the blade and gearbox on the end. Did 75% of our hedges before the 2Ah battery died. Had a cup of tea and an hour later it wa ready to go. A design feature might be to provide a ‘D’ handle down the shaft to aid support. Happy in all other aspects. Recommended.

Extendable hedge trimme
Have several Worx garden tools, interchangeable battery, would be even better if could use the trimmer without the pole for close work
Great hedge trimme
Very impressed with this. Made light work of a mature leylandii hedge. It is heavier than I expected but I still managed to manoeuvre it easily enough. I used a 6ah battery and I never ran out of power.

Very good, but quite heavy
It’s great and works with existing batteries. It’s a bit heavy but seems good quality.
Trims well
Found the worx hedge trimmer work reallywell but it is very heavy for a woman of mature age
Excellent work maye
I found it did all I wished it to do good garden tool
Treble WOW !!
What a device, not too heavy, very adaptable and not too noisy. Did the first trim of the year on two very large privit hedges this morning and the worx hedge cutter tackled it with ease on one 20V 2ah battery, about 2hrs. Very little almost non existent vibration and the telescopic pole saved me the usual balancing off a ladder !! Should have purchased one of these a long time ago very, very satisfied with this device.

Cuts great but heavier to use when using high up
It cuts great but is heavier than you think, it come with a strap which helps
Let me firstly make two points. First with this item you receive one battery and more importantly one ‘fast’ charger which takes an hour. Secondly, I strongly advise that on the first charge you leave the battery connected for at least three hours. This gives it a much better power holding ability.
Okay, now to using it. Assembly is child’s play. Two sections that simply connect together using plastic lock levers and you’re done. Another lock allows the pole to extend and another allows the handle to revolve. Shoulder strap is also provided.
The advantage of cordless is immediately apparent for me with no electric cable tangled up in my flower beds and destroying plants as I move along the hedge. It’s not as heavy either and I found the head angle adjustment simple to operate. I managed to cut the rear garden hedge in just over twenty minutes. It’s mostly gorse and hawthorn as it borders the field to my next door farmer. It cut through the branches with ease and it’s comfortable to manoeuvre. Not too much strain on the arms means you can cut in longer bursts and soon get the job done.
I was pleasantly surprised to see I had only used one bar of power when I’d finished with two more still available. On that basis I reckon I should get at least 40 minutes out of one. Hence my recommendation earlier about ignoring the green ‘charged’ light first time and leaving the battery plugged in for at least three hours.
All in all an extremely reasonable priced item with all necessary accessories. Easy and relatively light to use. I bought an extra battery too so that when I come to do larger areas I can have a back up ready to go when needed.
I can thoroughly recommend this cutter to anyone looking for a solution to their household hedge trimming problems. 5 stars without hesitation, I’m well pleased.

Recommend
Works as expected, good reach, easy to use etc. Not as light as I hoped but not cheap weight either good produc
Handy addition to the Worx 20V battery tool range
It is a bit heavy when fully extended, but then all the extendable hedge trimmers are. Very useful because I have several worx 20V batteries. Allows me to trim parts of my hedges that my electric hedge trimmer is too short to reach.

A* tool
An awesome tool, handy that the batteries last well and are interchangeable with other devices, good battery time usage too A*
I bought this to replace a noisy 2 stroke machine. I didn’t expect it to have the same power and cutting capacity but to avoid annoying the neighbours I thought I’d try it. We have Inherited a 12ft high by 30ft long Mostly untamed Beech hedge. Having heavily pruned it earlier in the year I needed only to take new growth off. I did half with the 2 stroke before it died on me again and then I got this Worx pole hedge trimmer. Yes the gear box at the working end of the trimmer makes it a bit heavy when fully extended and using horizontally, but no heavier than any petrol version. One great feature is that it’s telescopic so you can get bit closer to you as well as and full stretch. It’s obviously much much quieter than a petrol machine, much to the delight of my neighbour no doubt, but also to me standing right next to it. The adjustable head works well and enabled me to reach over and trim the top far edge of the hedge which is probably about 5ft deep.
I should mention that I also invested in the Worx 2x20v WG284E hedge trimmer for close up work. That enabled me to tackle some of the thicker stems as the only criticism I have of the pole trimmer is it’s 16mm cutting capacity but I guess that’s as much as a 20v system can handle. As for battery running time, I probably used it for a least 1hr on and of, maybe 20mins continuous use, and by the end I still had two out of three lights on the battery indicator, so no problem there and I have other batteries anyway for other Worx machines. Overall I’m very pleased with this machine. For occasional home use and for light to medium jobs I’d say it’s a great choice.
Well designed, adequate for the job

Wish I had bought earlie
Purchased petrol hedge cutters a while back but wish I had gone for these instead at the time, fairly light weight based on the length they can extend too and do a cracking job. Do have the battery jet wash and strimmer made by the same so really good that I can share batteries for the bigger jobs, excellent purchase

I’ve used Stihl petrol pole hedge trimmers and they can be quite heavy to wield, even the battery versions where the battery is quite large to cope with a full days work. As the battery on the Worx is relatively small it’s a lot lighter and perfect for my garden. You can angle it to 90% or more for getting to the top of bushes and it’s easy to extend. The cutting action was very good and sharp and in my case, cut through all it had to, conifers along the back of the garden, and easily coped with branches a cm or two thick. I can’t really comment on how long the battery lasts as it still was going strong after about 20 minutes or so it took me to complete the job. As I have other Worx devices I have now about 3 batteries to call on should any start to run out.

Because I already own several cordless Worx tools I was keen to buy this product when I needed a pole hedge trimmer. Unfortunately it was impossible to find anywhere in the UK with some stock so I decided to order through Amazon who were offering a 2 month lead time on orders. It was therefore a very pleasant surprise when I received an email advising that delivery would be much sooner that expected and it arrived within 2 weeks. I expected to find it difficult and ungainly to use but in reality it surprisingly easy even at full length. Using the shoulder strap it is well balanced and relatively light so I can use it for an extended period without back ache. For tall hedges it is much easier than constantly moving ladders and the fully adjustable head means I can get exactly the cut I want. So far I’ve only used it on privet but a long laurel hedge is next and it will be interesting to see how well it copes with the thicker branches.

Handy to stand back and trim top of 5 foot privet/holly hedge without having to use step or walk on flower borders. Being cordless no wires to get tangled in and no petrol/oil to worry about. With a rotating handle its also handy to use to trim sides of hedges. Cuts fine for regular trims but would struggle with thick/overgrown hedges. I have a number of Worx tools and batteries and so use 5aH battery rather than the 2aH one supplied as this maintains power for longer. Only takes me about 20 mins which given the weight is all in the cutter head is about as long as I find it comfortable to use given my advancing years!

Neat Hedges
Well made with strong plastic body and titanium blades.
1hr quick charger and it does
Much lighter than my old electric trimmer but still not very light. Well constructed and easy to use. My second WORX garden product so can interchange the batteries giving twice the running time. Well recommended.

This works very well and is sharp and cuts the usual hedges without issue. Note however the cordless electric cutters have their motor at the end of the pole as part of the cutting mechanism…it is not at the bottom by the handle like petrol versions. Given this and after a while, especially fully extended, it does get quite heavy; they are all the same however so if you’ve more battery Worx tools the battery compatibility is clearly important.
The item is however well made and robust. It extends easily and has a good reach with various different cutter head angles to tackle pretty much everything.
The extension shaft is a good quality tubular aluminium and is a decent size negating it ‘flopping’ about…

Cuts well, good battery life and gives good reach when extended. Only negative is that it is a bit top heavy which impacts most when used for any length of time.

So I bought this because I’m a local gardener and wanted which is easy to use and doesn’t weigh that much and I have to have its amazing very powerful cuts through a lot of stuff. Would 100% recommend

Pros:
Quiet: Happy with the noise level of this tool. Can work during any time of the day without getting any attention from the neighbors.
Performance: Strong enough for the job, can cut anything within the limit of its blades without any trouble.
Cons
Balance: Not as balanced as most petrol polles hedge trimmers. the motor is actually sitting on the far end together with the blades.
Battery life: Could have been better but given the option to use the batteries from any other tools from the same brand you may have this is not much of a problem. enough battery life to finish a relatively small garden with 7 tall trees.

Pick up and ready to go
Attach one part and a battery and your ready to go. Go this as we already have another of the items so battery can be used across the range ( battery not included in this item) easy to use and lightweight enough for my wife to use.

This is a really good product. Already have the cordless mower. I managed to cut all of my hedge with this with one battery. It’s really powerful and love how you can adjust the angle of the blades. Very robust and value for money.
