GreenworksG24PH51 Cordless Pole Hedge Trimmer with Split Shaft, 51cm Dual Action Blades, Blade Cuts Up to 18mm, 125 Degree Head Pivot, 1500spm WITHOUT 24V Battery & Charger, 3 Year Guarantee

In my experience I have a range of green works products which I’m pleased with to date.Thinking about health and safety I decided to invest in this cordless extending hedge trimmer not wanting to use my traditional electric one. I was trying to having to use a step ladder and avoid possible injury or a trip to A&E with a busted bone or some other injury.I found the trimmer easy to use and quite powerful. I used it for about 1 hour and still had charge in the battery. I do have the green works 24volt battery so maybe that makes a difference.I found the weight was slightly heavy at first but soon found the most comfortable position to hold it. Due to my age worked in 10 to 15 min bursts. No bending over and quick when compared to not having to worry about a lead and working off a ladder. You can use over a large area before having to move to a new position to cut more hedge.I wish I had bought on sooner and would buy again.

I expected it to be quite heavy and tricky to manoeuvre as all of these are.In anticipation I bought a normal hedge trimmer to do the sides and used the same battery as this, which I think worked well.I bought it from Amazon warehouse, the box had been opened but it wasn't used so worked out great value.It worked well at cutting the hedge, got through some fairly thick branches with a bit of effort.I think other hedge trimmers were longer but this worked for me, even without a shoulder strap which others had.

Easy enough to put together. Heavy to use, but did the job once I'd got the hang of it. Couldn't climb a ladder though just stand on the ground. Used it to cut budleatree. Couldn't cut through very thick branches

A great piece of equipment, light and easy to use and the great thing is I use the same battery for my other hedge trimmer, strimmer and lawnmower.

Purchased the item, last year. Battery and charger faulty. Still under warranty. Spent over an hour trying to get sorted, Amazon was very helpful. However, once I was put through to seller, not so good. Firstly, they want a copy of the invoice. Second they do not replace charger/battery together. You have to first send charger back... at that point I was cut off. No return call from seller. So, back to Amazon who are refunding me for entire product once it has been collected. Would have thought it more profitable to just replace the battery/charger. Now they've lost an entire sale.

Very happy with this product

Looks very good but I have still to try it out and see what battery life is like.

an extending pole would make it even better
