Pros

The trimmer cuts quite well, both easy stuff and thicker. Berry vines can be cut with ease and the unit folds in half for storage. It cuts well but a little on the heavy side.

Makita battery powered trimmer. Uses same batteries as drills and leaf blower. The rechargeable battery has a button that lights how many bars of power are left.



Cons

    Unfortunately i have many tall and wide hedges and the job involved me getting up on a ladder on sloped or uneven ground in order to trim my hedges


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Somehow after looking into a new hedge trimmer i realized how much i like my other cordless makita products drill chainsaw so i looked into makita and was torn between the 30 hedge trimmer and this one xnu01z


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I obviously went with the xnu01z and was able to do all my shrubs in record time without the ladder

    Definitely makes short work of my hedges

    English laurel is one of the harder hedges to trim because the leaves are so big and the stems get woody
