It’s very good. Easy to use and light weight. I am satisfied with it’s performance.

Quality you’d expect from a Makita tool. A little heavier than the cheesy B & D hedge trimmer we had before (which died after only two years), which means guess which one of the husband/wife yard-trimming team gets to trim the bushes from now on? But if it’s like my other Makita tools, it should still be working in 20+ years (it may outlive me). Shipping was a bit lengthy. When I checked tracking, it seemed to be taking a rock star tour of the southern U.S. including some pretty small venues you’ve probably never heard of. But it arrived, it works great, and my bushes are happy (are bushes in Arizona ever really happy?).

Just an excellent tool to work with, kind of heavy

Lightweight, very powerful, great cutting width. Handled heavy privet and azalea pruning very efficiently, cutting branches up to 3/8” diameter without choking.

Overall the quality of this trimmer is high quality, typical of Makita. It is a bit heavier than some of the lighter trimmers, but it is built solid. Has a cord lock to keep the extension cord from pulling out. The plug fits extension cords with the third ground prong. I was worried about bending the bar, since it is pretty long, but after banging it around, it’s still straight. The On/off switch is great, you basically squeeze the whole handle. The safety switch is the same, just squeeze the handle. Blazes through bushes, does not bog down. It only has a 1/2 inch capacity, but there’s not a whole lot of branches bigger than that if you’re just trimming.I have some boxwood and juniper hedges, and it zips right through them. On some of the few thicker branches it did not bog down. My only complaint was that the plastic housing had some really sharp edges on the seams; the factory did not do a good job of cleaning off the flash. The good part was that it just took a sharp utility knife and a few minutes to make it smooth.

Had significant trimming to do and it was a pleasant surprise to see the density it was able to cut through. I highly recommend this product

Trimmer arrived quickly from Home Depot, and fully assembled. Trimmer is powerful, quiet and very accurate. It is sturdy and very well made. It is meeting all my trimming requirements.

This is a great trimmer. Goes through my hedge like “butter”. The longer length is perfect. Yeah, it is a little heavy but the design is so well thought out the unit is so solid that it is worth. Love it.

Impressive! The specs say it has a cutting capacity of 1/2″–at least on my shrubs, that was not the case, 3/8″ would be a more realistic expectation. The three safety switches are comforting–2 of the 3 have to be activated to turn on–and they give you multiple ways to hold the device.

Very good powerful trimmers.

This trimmer is great! Like the Makita chainsaw I own, it is packed with plenty of power and great features. The user interface is great, with three large triggers built into the handles, and you must pull any two to start the trimmer (great safety feature). This allows to to easily cut in three modes, vertical, horizontal and extended reach. The cord management features are great. My first cutting session and no cords disconnected or near misses cutting the cord. This trimmer is worth every penny.

This is an awesome trimmer. It does heavy duty work but is easy to handle. I lent it to my neighbor, who is 86 years young, and he breezed through trimming all the hedges in his yard. Can’t say enough great things about how well this trimmer works and how easy it is to handle.

I bought this Makita Electric Hedge Trimmer because I trust the brand. Every Makita i have ever owned has exceeded it’s expected lifespan by decades and continued to work without problems. This new trimmer cuts through the thicket like a hot knife through butter… i am pleased.
Brown Schowalter (verified owner) –
This is a powerful trimmer and works much better than other trimmers that I have used. It is a bit heavy but really does the job. Seems to be well built and will have no problems getting big jobs done.
Frieda Lehner (verified owner) –
It cuts great. Like a knife thru butter. Less work and shorter time. This one is definitely a keeper. Queen Janice

Used the tool once. Powerful and efficient. Will improve your arm strength with its weight. Teeth spacing allows for wider branches and leaves to be cut cleanly. Has the best price point and features on the market for an electric trimmer.
Rodrick Padberg (verified owner) –
Cuts so effortlessly compared to my cordless trimmer. Decreased trimming time 60 to 70%. This a serious trimmer. It makes my chordless timer seem like a toy. So, it is worth the extra expense.
