Pros & Cons
Pros
Cuts thicker branches with less faff than a two * petrol one and is considerably nicer to work with. It has a few extra cm of cutter, which is the difference between reaching or not reaching. Cuts really well includes thicker growth.
Not the lightest of battery trimmers but comfortable in use. Easy to rotate, easy to clear snags and very quiet. Big bonus is not having to worry about moving or accidentally trimming the mains chord.
It is much better and easier to use than the last corded hedge trimmer i had. Battery quick to recharge.
Highlights
Quality
Pleased with the quality and appears robust and trimmed my hedges without missing a beat.

After a lot of deliberation i plumbed for the greenworks hedge trimmer.
Price
The amazon deal price was too good to resist.
Packaging/appearance
Absolute pleasure that i don't have to swing the mains electric cable out of the way anymore.
Competitiveness
I already have a greenworks blower so it made sense to buy a greenworks hedge trimmer and share advantage of two batteries/chargers.
Already have a greenworks pole trimmer which is giving good service.
Purchased at a favourable price but note it has the previous model battery.

It doesnt come with the protection strip along the centre of the blades length as portraid in the photoagain it is quite heavy and i wouldnt really recommend it or buy it again especially if a woman would be using it even though the video shows a woman using it however the item does the job well and will cut quite thick twigsgetting the 40 v battery and charger opens up the world of greenworks garden tools at a far cheaper price if you buy the tool body only from leaf blowers to chain saws to lawn movers and a pressure washer all use the same 40 v battery

Its pretty lightweight considering 600mm blade

Too i never let the young seasonal shoots become mature or woody this would put more stress on the blades than they are designed for

If you are having to restore an over and outgrown mature hedge this is not the tool for it

I particularly hate hedges time consuming messy spiky

For years i either avoided them or insisted on using big petrol cutters because “battery ones are no good”

When i tried to cut the hedge this year pullstarting my twostroke cutter was a nightmare when it ran it belted out fumes that give me a headache and it vibrated my arms and deafened me slowly before dripping fuel down my arm from a split fuel hose

It got to 40ft on half charge as well as the end and a bit of the top the final 20ft or so it was still going but i was flagging however this is 60ft of swinging the cutter vertically when my petrol one would gave knackered me in 20ft
