WORX WG261 20V Power Share 22in Cordless Hedge Trimmer with Battery and Charger, Black and Orange

This is what I wanted. It's light enough to come out at any time without worrying about getting tired from the heavy machinery. Reliable. Never ran out of battery juice in one hour. Basically, I quit first, before the battery needs to be recharged.

I used it to trim down some ornamental grass and some flowering shrubs. Not a heavy tool and easy to manage. Very easy to assemble out of the box. Battery is small, hence the lighter weight. Battery just plugs into a regular socket, no separate charger. I think I used it for about a half an hour. Easy to use. Length is good for the type of basic trimming of shrubs I did from ground level at a reasonable height. The tool comes with a blade cover that's soft plastic, not much but it's something. The manufacturer recommends just plain old WD 40 to lubricate blades. Great not to have to use a cord. I like it. I would buy again.

Love this little trimmer for my flowering shrubs. I have been trimming them every season by hand and it would hurt my wrist after a while and so time consuming! Also some of the shrubs have gotten so big that it makes it hard to reach if it's too high or in the back, but this trimmer with it's extention makes it a breeze to get to the hard to reach places. It's the best thing ever, cuts like butter and is light enough for a woman to handle. I'm not done quite yet but that only took me ten minutes! I highly recommend it!

Here's my wife's review of this product: I bought this after reading the review here from the 68-year-old woman. I figured if she could use this, so could I. I'm in my 40s, but I'm lazy, short, and hate yardwork with a passion. I live on a little farm and I usually think that if I really want any greenery trimmed back, I can adopt a goat. But recently the path from my house to my barn and my driveway have both gotten pretty overgrown with blackberries and other bushes and trees. Not only do I not enjoy getting hit in the face with bushes, but the company that picks up our garbage told us we need to trim our driveway because they don't want their garbage truck to get scratched. And since I really don't have time for a goat right now, I figured I'd have to do some trimming. After gazing in despair at my manual clippers, I thought, "There's got to be a better way!" (yes, just like a dummy in an infomercial). So I did some research on Amazon and got this little number. I didn't want anything that was harder to operate than an electric toothbrush. I didn't want to deal with cords, or gasoline, or having to read instructions. I didn't want anything heavy or unweildy. This fit the bill perfectly. I charged up the battery, put on some safety goggles and went to town. This trimmer was so light and easy to use; you can switch directions and hands at will, and it cuts through bushes like butter. I even chopped through some pretty significant branches (thicker than 3/4 inches across) with no problems. I used it for 45 minutes and it didn't run out of charge. Whacking at things with this tool is actually really fun. So if you are: - Lazy - Short - Weak - Not into yardwork . . . but also: - Don't like getting hit in the face with bushes walking around in your own yard - Don't want to get yelled at for your bushes scratching someone's garbage truck - Are too busy to adopt your own goats . . . then this trimmer is for you! This would probably also work out just great for someone strong, tall, and motivated, but I can't speak to that from personal experience. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

Great hedge trimmer easy to assemble (Minimal). Very easy to use lots of power and a good battery life. I just didn’t think the blade storage cover was very good. Thin clear plastic was 2 snaps on it. It should be a hard plastic sheath.
