Cuts great. It is a little heavier than my old hedge trimmer but it is also 4 inches longer so it is expected.

I did a lot of research on electric hedge trimmers after my Little Wonder trimmer of 30 years gave up.So far, the Makita 22 inch 4.8 amp trimmer is meeting my needs, is easy to use, seems powerful enough and has an amazing “trigger” handle, allowing ergonomic use of the trimmer from all angles.

Very sturdy unit. Good cutting power and not overly heavy.

The quality is good but I found it to be too heavy. The switch on the wrap- around handle is too hard to keep depressed, so your hand gets tired real fast. Also, the tip guard does not allow you to get real close to anything if you want to. Way over priced. I returned it.

This trimmer is great for cutting back shrubs and vegetation. It is lightweight and made clearing a new lot really easy.

This is the most powerful corded model that Makita sells and it cuts through dense vines and Mexican sage easily. Haven’t tried on a hedge, but expect it will do well. A bit on the heavy side but not hard to handle.

overall satisfactory performer. only carp is that it is relatively heavy for a small person like me which makes my arms ache after a while.

Easy to use. Like the length, not too heavy. My last hedge trimmer lasted 40 years hoping to get half of that.

This trimmer is a huge step up from the electric trimmer we had before. The 22 inch length is perfect for trimming the sides and tops of hedges without stretching. The power this trimmer packs is fantastic! The hedges are trimmed to a smooth finish in only one pass due to the power and the sharpness of the blades. The weight of the trimmer is decent but not overwhelming so a great deal of the hedges can be trimmed without becoming overly fatigued.I will certainly consider purchasing more garden and power tools from this company.

This is a high quality, serious trimmer. I love it! A little Chain Oil makes it work more smoothly.
