Good trimmer, bad battery.
The hedge trimmer works superbly and it is so light you don’t even get tired cutting 300 feet of a six foot hedge. The major downside is the battery. I read many reviews of this product that pointed out problems with battery function and so I was extra careful following the instructions and even keeping it in the house rather than the garage so it wouldn’t catch a cold. After ten charges it died anyway. Good product but let’s get a better battery! If you don’t mind paying about $40 bucks a year to replace the battery in return for a well functioning, convenient, light trimmer, I give it a five.
Update (5/17/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

Works Great
This trimmer is awesome. I have a 200′ long area of juniper that must be trimmed twice yearly. This trimmer will go through almost the entire 200′ edge without changing batteries. The trimmer is very light and sharp - trims as well as my gas trimmers and is a heck of a lot easier to handle. I also have the Black & Decker 18V string trimmer and leaf blower. The leaf blower eats batteries; the string trimmer is not too bad. But this hedge trimmer goes forever on a single charge.

light and easy
This is my first powered hedge trimmer so I have nothing to compare it to, but I was surprised by how well this battery powered hedge trimmer did the job on it’s first use. It trimmed about 30 large bushes on one battery charge and did it almost effortlessly. The blades work well, the product is light-weight and the vibration is minimal. I must admit, it was a gift…I would not have bought it, but after using it I am impressed and would recommend it for any weekend landscaper. One more extra battery is all I would recommend. Good product from Black & Decker!
