Greenworks 80V 26 in Cordless Hedge Trimmer, 2.0 Ah Battery and Charger

This thing is amazing, I’ve had a little wonder gas powered, it still works great when I can get it to run for more than 10 minutes at a time, decided to a battery powered one, this is awesome, cuts through very thick branches, it’s lite, the fact that you can cut it both directions is great, I read many reviews on many on battery powered units, lots of complaints about quality, having to install handles etc. this baby is ready to use out of the box, just pop the battery in and go, there’s no question about the value for the money, I used it several times and figured I would have to charge the battery, after popping the battery in the charger it still had a nearly full charge wow, very impressive, also many complaints about others when rotating the handle it was to difficult to use because you have two switches one on the handle the other the actual trigger, didn’t have any problems the safety on this one you are able to hold in almost in any position, this is a well designed unit that makes it easy to use, end of story!

Amazing. Powerful, ready to use, gets even tough jobs done. It's heavy because it's the 80v, but if you need a brute, this is your machine.

Firstly, the battery charges super fast. This is easy to handle and really cuts through some thick branches and trims hedges extremely easy.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:The length is nice for large hedges. It is a heavy unit, which makes it much more difficult to handle for long periods of time. It is quite a workout with the weight. I found myself having to switch hands frequently as it is quite tiring to use for extended periods of time. The battery use is very minimal and seems like it could be used for several hours.

Best hedge trimmers I’ve ever had. A little heavy but very powerful.

Arrives very sharp as it should. Not too heavy even with its long cutting neck. Battery, so far, lasts longer than my trimming job, so I'm happy.

This is the best trimmer I've had in many years of homeowner landscaping. Gas trimmers in the past were good but got too heavy as i got older (78 now) so I switched to the greenworks 40v light model about 10 years ago which was fine but I always wanted more power. This 80v model has plenty of power and the added weight was a concern when i ordered the 80v but since it completes the work in half the time weight is not a problem for me. Safety features are upgraded from my old 40v and are good but still need to be very careful. This is the "non pro" model whcih seems right for home type work, not sure you get much more from the pro as a homeowner.

This thing is a beast. My hedges are very very thick and it waded thru them like butter. I would highly recommend as it has lots of power and very sharp!
