Arrived 2 DAYS EARLY in a scruffy box which made me think I was getting a customer return, however everything inside looked ok.
I found the assembly really difficult, particurly fitting the Front Powerhandle onto its housing, I did NOT EXPECT to have to use considerable force to get it on, in fact I had to look up a You Tube video to confirm that what I was doing would not snap it. The pictogram instructions are useless and confusing.
HAVING SAID ALL THAT I got the machine assembled and out to the garden today. Very impressive even with my previously bought 1.3 Ah battery. Lightweight fast and a pleasure to use
I have pretty much the whole worx range, well working on getting the entire tools.
The hedge trimmer ran all day cutting hedges back, to thick stuff. Ita doesn’t feel or sound powerful but does a great job and at the price I paid 40 it was a steal.
I recommend. 5 stars.
Along with my other worx tools, vr happy with i
Lightweight so easy to use speedy delivery and does exactly what it’s claimed it does.very pleased with produc
excellent tool for trimming the hedge. Battery life very good.
First time in using this hedge trimmer, it was really easy to use, as it was lightweight to control the flowing action of the cut, Happy Shoppe
Just got these today on an Amazon offer 49.99 I already have 2 worx battery’s for my strimmer so bought the bare unit . I’ve lightly trimmed a 15 mtr long box hedge and 3 mtr high ivy on a wall probably 10 mtrs long . Battery still fine. I was a little sceptical about the power out of these battery hedge cutters. They are obsoletely fine for me. So all in all I’m very happy with my purchase.
I’ve low hedging around the house. These work nicely to trim them once or twice a year.
I’ve other Worx products so can swap the batteries which is handy, but one battery gets the job done for what I need and a lot quicker than shears.
They would be less powerful than a petrol trimmer, but powerful enough for what I need and a lot lighter than a petrol one.
Well pleased in conclusio
I love this! I have the lawn mower and trimmer but needed a hedge trimmer. This uses the same batteries, (obvs) but the speed that I cut the hedge is amazing! It was a bit overgrown but it was no match for this machine. As the hedge is taller than me I always struggle to cut the top but not a problem with this light machine! I even went looking around the garden trying to find more things to cut and I hate gardening!
Love it!
It’s a very good tool. Would recommend. Battery life is good.
Love the word PowerShare range. Easy to use and batteries charge up really quick.
I like this companies tools as I already have a couple what I like is the batteries are compatible with all the tools.
Lightweight, ergonomic and well balanced (with a 5mAh battery installed), you can’t go wrong. This make swift work of a large privet hedge and 3 medium conifers and only lost 1 bar of charge.
Great value for money – this should be part of your gardening toolki
Darf nicht schneiden, ab den 1.3 2021 darf man keine Hecke mehr schneiden, erst zum Herbst wieder. Von daher wei ich nicht wie die Heckenschere geht.
Fantastic price considering you also get 2 20v batteries and they alone sell for 30+ each I don’t know how long I will get from a battery yet but I’m guessing 10 to 15 minutes from each battery and that’s plenty long enough I already have another 5 batterys that all fit due to power share
There built quality is excellent too
And for those of you that needs a longer battery life should maybe think about a petrol hedge trimmer because you must have one hell of a hedge
Battery goes for maybe 40-50 minutes ,so I would recommend to have a second one ,I bought a grass trimmer too and batteries are interchangeable so used one while charging the other battery… very light,cuts very well,not worse like wired or petrol but much lighter and easy to use.
Love it!
Already have a battery for this cutter, easy to use light hedge trimmer.
Angekommen, ausgepackt, zusammengebaut (Handschutz und oberen Griff montiert – nichts fr normale Hnde, die beiden schrauben am Handschutz waren ganz schn fummelig) den neu erworbenen Akku rein (leider nicht hier gekauft das 4.0Ah Modell mit Akkuanzeige) und direkt Mal die Olle Efeu Hecke an unserer Terrasse bearbeitet. Super schnell, hat keine zicken gemacht auch bei dickeren sten und sie ist dabei auch noch einen cht sparsam. Der Akku nur ein wenig vo geladen hatte hinterher immer noch einen von 3 Balken zu Verfgung! Bis jetzt sehr zufrieden nach dem ersten Test. Sollte sich daran etwas ndern, aktualisiere ich diese Rezension.
Fr das Geld als Akku Gert fr kleinere Hecken und Grten eine klare Kaufempfehlung!
The hedge trimmer is powerful, lightweight and easily assembled. Ideal for a lady pensioner with unruly hedges to control. My hydro shot saves endless trips from my water butt and it’s battery pack saved me 50 when I got the hedge trimmer ‘bare’! Great!
A little assembly required but easy to use and powerful enough to trim a slightly overgrown ivy bush.
Just a really easy to use and effective tool – as described !
This is my 4th Worx power tool, they never disappoint. The Power Share system is excellent with very good battery life.
When I opened up the box I was slightly disappointed to see how small the batteries are. Thought they wouldn’t last 5 mins. Pleased to say they lasted far, far longer than I thought. I’ve loads of hedges and I hadn’t trimmed them for ages. This cut through them no bother and I’d still plenty of charge left on the second battery at the end of the day. It’s nice and light too with good balance.
Some sort of battery indicator (indicating how much charge there is) would have been nice on the charger.
Really impressed with this Hedge Trimmer – its light and easy to use but does a good job on my hedges and battery lasts well.
Very light and manoeuvreable – no cable to manage or cut! Second battery a great addition – it can be charging while you’re using the first one to cut with.
Delighted with the price, product and the cut. It’s a great additional cordless tool to my WORX collection.
Garlic bread ? Garlic and bread that’s what I thought.
Then I clipped my hedge with ease…..it’s nice is Garlic bread.
I am very impressed with this hedge trimmer. We have a garden spanning around half an acre and have a lot of hedge with a mix of hazel, blackthawn, hawthorn and evergreen. The hedge trimmer dealt with it all. It is light which means I could use it for a couple of hours without getting tired arms. The battery lasts a long time so no need to keep swapping batteries. I would highly recommend it.
Very easy to use, lightweight and well worth the money, batteries also used for strimmer and blowe
There is nothing to dislike it’s comfortable easy to use and lightweight it cuts really well would recommend using a ptfe spray to lubricate the blades and aid cutting which also prolongs life of battery would totally recommend worx tools I also have a worx hammer drill and Impact driver really good
Perfect for trimming the hedge. Light and easy to use.
Was delayed, which was a problem because I needed the batteries for a sander and a strummer that I had also bought.
Good hedge trimmer. Easy to use, and efficient. The batteries last long enough to do a couple of hedges, and some sanding and some strimming on one charge. Very pleased, eventually.
I have a few Worx items and they are all good. Batteries tend to not charge properly afte use 3/4 tinre.
Pretty light cuts ok although blade speed a bit slow compared to an electric one trims the hedge and bushes ok.
So good value if like me you get fed up of having one eye on the power cord.
Do not confuse it with a hedge cutter if that is what you want though; you will be most disappointed!
It is just capable of trimming those new shoots that have sprung up since you gave the hedge a good cut a few weeks ago, – nothing more.
It will cut a little bit thicker piece of say privet – provided that you single out the bits that you want to cut one at a time.
If you are used to using a proper hedge cutter, then this can get annoying even when trimming new shoots because if you go low enough to catch the top of the hedge at all, the thing snags. It doesn’t stop necessarily, just ‘catches’ and stops your travel across the hedge. Annoying.
Having said that, it does cut the new growth; (I used on hawthorne and privet). And its ideally suited for shaping soft bushes (again thin or soft growths). Keep trimming often and it will do the job. Do hedges with a big cutter say twice a year and trim in between times. I shall do that, – it is a decent lightweight trimmer, I’m not decrying it.
If that is what you want in an appliance, this is easy to hold and use.
In fact as per the title above; it does what the Worx 801E shrub/grass shear/pruner ought to do (but cannot) – at very little more cost. (Get a cheap Worx strimmer for the grass part, – those are ace).
I bought this as I already have a couple of Worx power tools which I am very happy with. Its very light to use and fine for annual tidying up the fir trees and bushes which is what I wanted it for. So far very pleased. It’s doesn’t feel as robust as my other heavier Black and Decker but is perfect for the relatively light use I wanted it fo
Very lightweight and easy to use. The battery life is good and I managed to trim 2 large bushes at the front of our house without running out of power. I also own the strimmer and plunge saw from WORX and I have had no issues with any of them and I love the fact you can chop and change the batteries. I would recommend any WORX product.
Not a bad bit of kit.
Won’t fell trees or hack it’s way through branches thicker than your index finger. But will make light work of bushes and thinner branches.
I have a large hedge and I can easily cut one side on a single battery. Light manourvrable and does not wear me out like the old one. plus cordless is a boo
Superb product. Fairly light, nice to use. Battery life is excellent. Didn’t even use the full charge on my large back garden. Highly reccommended.
Very happy. Easy to use and handle. Larger battery size is recommended and useful.
Ordered a 46cm blade but got delivered a 44cm blade. Informed Amazon, who were very willing to exchange but I actually found the 2cm unnoticeable for the small hedge and bush I have.. So, after thinking size matters, I found as usual in life, it’s the quality and the the way you use it counts.Nice bit of kit.
What a fantastic piece of equipment it meet all and more of my expectations
Used it to cut my hedge. It is good as long as the branches are not too thick.
Very good piece of kit, the fact it has two batteries makes it a good deal, pity one battery was faulty but it was replaced without questio
Great product for distant hedges. We have a big garden.
Surely the most obvious choice for a cordless garden tool is the hedge trimmer – it makes the job so much easier! Great product, quiet and powerful. Very pleased and good value for money.
Very good hedge cutter, much better than I was expecting.
Cutting is very good, as is battery life.
A lot easier than being tied with a cable. The battery easily does at least half an hour or more of trimming.
Easily cuts through branches as thick as your finger.
Lightweight and easy to use trimmer. Cuts very well and the two batteries supplied are sufficient for my use, although I have also bought the strimmer and lawn mower so have spare interchangeable batteries. Same problem as other buyer in attempting to register the extended warranty as website does not recognise the model number.
This trimmer handles the fresh growth on our various shrubs and bushes easily, far easier and tidier than hand shears! Easy to use and the safety features work well. I am using with larger 4ah batteries which I already owned so no idea on the life of the supplied batteries (1.5ah) but I trimmed all I needed to and then used same battery on Worxs strimmer and still plenty of life left in it. Ideal for our needs – no long hedges to do or anything like that, just approx six shrubs & bushes, so did not want anything too big, and easy to get out to tidy a patch up without the bother of extension leads etc.
Like other reviewers I found that the online warranty system would not accept the model number, however I contacted Worx via their Facebook page and they gave me customerservice @ worxtools . com to contact and they have confirmed the same day the warranty extension in the form of the email you normally get when you register online, so mine is covered until August 2022 for one purchased August 2019. No explanation as to what the problem is but happy that warranty is extended and they were very quick to respond both on Facebook & via email. NOTE does not show up on the registered tool list on the online, which is a shame. (Don’t try the sales@ email address as I just got an auto respond email indicating that not been received – or that is what Google translate from the Chinese words said!)
Better than anything bought previously !! Great power and good battery system
Very useful if you have a garden of mixed grasses, not a monster machine but generally good, charger bit slow .
should be ok for general tidying up of bushes hedges etc.
Only problem is in trying to register the product for warranty..this model doesn`t appear exist..
At present waiting for Worx to reply to my email..
Good piece of kit, battery life could be longer, only 15-20mins is not brilliant.
I am getting on a bit and find the lightness extremely useful.
I have several hedges that need trimming and to do each of them with my previous trimmer was a pain!
The WG261E.1 hedge timmer is great, easy to handle (and no cord to slice through!.) However I have been unable to extend the warranty to three years as the model number is not recognised on Worx registration page, despite it being advertised on their website. Worx Customer Service have not responded to attempts to contact them over the last couple of weeks to sort out the issue.
So far found it to be great. Cuts well. Battery lasting well each use. Not to heavy.
