cordless or cord
I had my heart set on a cordless but now I am glad I purchased this model. Two things sold me on it. The first was the extra reach. I needed it for some of my bushes that are over six feet high. The second was those hardened blades. I knew they would last longer.
The design and being able to hold it with one hand also helped as did the fact that it could handle thicker branches.
I do not understand the reviewer that needed two passes. For the thicker branches you hold it there and it eventually chews thru them. I comes down to taking your time. The longer blade also makes it easier to shape large bushes.
This hedge trimmer has cut everything I threw at it and hardly missed a beat. It easy to balance with one hand but it does become heavy although still manageable with only one hand.
Like many I was not a fan of B&D products. I bought this because of the combination of features that were not available on other brands. I don't like having to use a cord but that is balanced out by how effective it is in doing it's job. Having the extra power is the tradeoff.
Usually I review every purchase I can on Amazon but this was more of a spur of the moment decision. The current price ($70) plus the free shipping makes Amazon the place to buy it from.
I could not find a better hedge trimmer. This time B&D got it right. Minus one star from not being cordless. More detail ...
