What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
It takes a while to be able to handle such a long and in evenly balanced item. My 5ah battery lasts longer than me. It does exactly what it should but will be a be last resort use by me when ladders and my other ryobi head strimmer can’t be used.
Cons
All the weight is at the head end, so it does not balance. It's really uncomfortable to use.
Highlights
Quality
Easy to use and well made and not to heavy so it doesn't make your arms ache.
All telescopic hedge trimmers are ackward and heavy however not all cut well and this one does cut really well and the big 5.
It's heavy even without the extension pole attached, and with it attached, it becomes almost unmanageable.
I'm a big 5xl lad and i find the ergonomics very poor.
Price
Overall you get what you pay for, and for £122, it's fine.
Now, this is heavy, even without the extension pole - would be too much for oldies to use, but great for the price and does the job.
Packaging/appearance
I was using it within ten minutes of unpacking, just with the battery and trimmer end, not with with middle extension section.
Competitiveness
I thought it would be poor compared to the petrol one.
I bought this as a replacement for another branded hedge trimmer also because it was rechargeable so no cables to cut through.

I have the smaller handheld ryobi hedge trimmer and thought this would be a nice upgrade as my hedge is now too large for it
