I’ve had the trimmer for under a month but in that time ive used it a total of about four hours. The weight of the trimmer is pretty well distributed. The pivoting trigger section makes for easy use in places like, between the house and shrubs or on a ladder. The unit has more than enough power to serve my needs and the battery life is awesome. I don’t have anything bad to say about this trimmer

I used it for the first time Yesterday on the waist high hedges. Cut like a knife in butter. I was very impressed with how sharp those blades are and the length was great. The 24″ length blade mean you are not bending over as much. There is a little bit of weight with the batteries but I would stop and take a five minute break if my shoulder were tired. So far it is worth the price because having to run 120′ of extension cord for my old hedger was a nightmare. Spend the extra money and get the battery ones.

Very happy with makita hedge trimmer. Used 45 minutes and did all shrubs in large yard with half of battery life remaining. Cuts like butter.

It had everything that I would expect from Makita. I own a number of Makita cordless tools, they’re NOT cheap but, you get what you pay for. The batteries also held out very well. I recommend it.

Very happy I cut bushes around a half acre property and I did not go easy on this tool and still had half of a charge left
