Does the Job Nicely.It's a bit of a beast to hold and is not lightweight in use. The motor is in the cutting head so the centre of gravity is at the top which makes it unwieldy. But it has the feel of a well made and long lasting bit of kit which will stand up to lots of heavy use. It would have been nice if the cutting head could have been made detachable or at least able to fold away flat to the pole for easier storage. Overall a professional bit of gardening equipment well suited to trim hedges of ten feet or over.

Good overall productI have used the product once since I purchased it. The product is easy to set up and use but is fairly heavy. However, since it can be used whilst standing on the ground it is a safer option overall when cutting high hedges. In addition, the make is well known and reliable. On the negative side I found the on/off switch a little awkward to use with my left hand.

Good ToolEasy to use but a bit heavy and awkward when cutting the top of hedges at 90 degrees. But I would still recommend it.
