Landscapers and contractors are demanding more cordless alternatives to corded and gas-powered outdoor power equipment. Makita is meeting demand with an expanding line of cordless OPE, including the Makita 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless Hedge Trimmer (model XHU02Z, tool only, batteries and charger sold separately). With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance, the XHU02Z is a welcome solution for trimming applications. The XHU02Z has a Makita-built motor that delivers 1,350 SPM and a 22 in. blade for increased cutting capacity. The XHU02Z will run up to 120 minutes on the low setting on a single charge using an 18V LXT® 4.0Ah battery (sold separately). Cordless technology also means lower noise, and at only 87 dB(A) the XHU02Z is 25% quieter than other cordless hedge trimmers. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.

Great power and extremely quiet, great price as long as you already have a battery. I bought the brushless drill and hammer drill combo on Father’s day at a great price! It came with two batteries and a charger. Now all I will buy is makita brand, since the batteries are interchangeable and the tools are bulletproof

This Makita hedge trimmer is slightly pricey compared to other cordless trimmers, but it is lightweight and works flawlessly.I have cut oleanders to regular style hedges with ease.Overall with the lightweight and long-lasting power with any of my existing Makita batteries, I can recommend this cordless Makita tool.

Outstanding. Significantly lighter than the 56v trimmer that HD Sells. I trimmed 21 box woods using one 3 mamp battery and it was still running strong. My only concern is power, can it cut thicker branches?
