The item headline is wayyyy off, but I knew that going in. The item is actually the 24-inch version of the Ryobi Hedge Trimmer, not the 18-inch model of whatever straight-shaft item the seller was thinking of. The trimmer seems to be well built and the battery life is very good, but I've found the trimmer to be almost useless. I don't know if the fault lies with it being underpowered, or with bad trimmer blade design, or whatever, but the trimmer cannot make a clean cut on any shrub that has stems tougher than, say, wet spaghetti. It will chew at a stem until it shreds it off, which makes any pruned shrub look like it was attacked with a weed whacker, not a hedge trimmer. Shredded stems are very damaging to plants, making them much more vulnerable to hazards like heat or cold, insects or lack of moisture. Unless you're going to confine your shrub trimming to plants with soft and small-diameter branches and shoots, I wouldn't recommend this product. And before you retort, "This guy must be using a dull blade," the trimmer was new out of the box.Read full review

My first impression was that the blades didn't cycle fast enough. However, after a couple minutes using it I noted that it cut really well in spite of the cutting speed. I was also impressed that the battery lasted a long time while cutting. I brought two batteries to cut the hedge at my daughter's house. I did the entire yard and there was still juice in the first battery. This made trimming much easier than using a corded trimmer. All in all, its a very useful tool and a good value.

This excellent product has tackled the toughest shrubs on my property. It's lightweight, easy to maneuver, an excellent trimmer for the price, mobile enough to get around without dragging a cord or filling with gas, and the smartest buy I've made in a yard tool in a long time!

We just received this hedge trimmer and used it this weekend. It works really great. It is very convenient to use because it doesn't have a cord that ties you down. We use a light-weight battery in it so the hedge trimmer is not too heavy to work with. The battery still had power left after we trimming the plants we wanted to. I would highly recommend this hedge trimmer.
