i bought this trimmer for my stepson for his small hedges in front of his house. he has not used it yet but i have a 24in black & decker trimmer and many other of there power tools and they work very well. the only thing is if you have a large hedge i would recommend the 24 inch model so the job does not take along time to get done.

I have had this mower for over three years.  I bought the hedgetrimmer from Ryobi as well, which gave me another charger and another battery (it almost cost the same to buy the hedgetrimmer than to buy another battery and a charger)... so I have three batteries now and two chargers.  This is the way to go.  I get about 25m of good mowing per battery.  I have had NO issues.  This machine has run VERY well.

I do NOT have a big lawn.  I can mow my lawn in about 40m.

Have fun.

Less then 24hrs after setting my traps we caught the culprit who was digging up my lawn.  Although I purchased the Mole trap, it worked just fine for the size of critter in my backyard.  I read in an earlier review that another person in Southern California successfully used the mole trap because the gopher trap was too big.  Depending on the size of your tunnel, you might have to get a few different sizes.  If you have many holes, like I did you should have at least 2 on hand.  It's no wonder Cinch Traps have been around so long, they just work.  Made in USA too!!

I brought the 16 inch mower. If you want low cut grass, this not the machine for you. It took off an half of an inch to one inch of grass. The cut is uneven and sometimes it would not cut at all. The blades sit too high between the wheels. Your lawn will not looked like it was cut with a gas lawn mower. Now I will have to pay someone to cut my small, front lawn.

May 29, 2018 update.
I figured out what was wrong. My handles where attached in the wrong location. Now the back bar lays down and the blades rest on the grass. I am able to cut my lawn now and it works perfectly. Plus it cut my weeds too. I was shocked at that.

I have less than a 1/3 acre lot, so I figured this should be adequate since the box says for up to 1/2 acre.  The goods:  well built, string feed seems to work well.  No need for power cord, gas.  No battery memory (claimed)  Quiet, no exhaust.  The bad:  I'm 6 feet tall and find the handling real ackward.  The battery last less than 15 min on a full charge.  I do light trimming and edging and I find that I can only do 1/3 of my 9000 square feet lawn with each charge.  A two hour recharge bought me another 5-7 minutes.  The narrow 12" cutting path exacerbates the problem since sometimes I have to make 2 passes to finish the job.  There is not enough power to cut tall (6" or more) grass.  I returned mine and bought a gas powered, which I'm much happier with.  If you live in an arid area where grass never gets real tall, and your lot is very small, this may be perfect.  The reason for 1 star is that it is not appropriate for lot size anywhere near 1/2 acre as stated right on the box.

Bought two of these in the 24 inch size with the intention of cutting one down slightly to fit nicely on the wall.  My contractor said he would not recommend cutting these down since there is a nub on the end to prevent spinning when you take the towel off and on.  We left both bars 24 ", but I think an 18 or 20 inch bar would have looked better on the wall.

For the price point the Spreader does what is intended. And, the wide gate allows for large material to exit without issue. I would buy a heavier grade model if the unit was to be used frequently for commercial application.

My Garcare poled hedge trimmer worked as expected, based on other reviewer.  It operates and cuts extremely well but one needs to wrestle with the unit once it is extended and you are doing work overhead.  Doing such wrestling from the ground is vastly superior to my prior need to stand on a ladder, so I am pleased with unit.

Initially I purchased model PR2700, but it would not fit my Bosch CS5. I. returned it for a PR7000 to install on a worm drive Skil HSD77. It would not fit so I called the factory who advised the blade guard must be removed, a tricky 3 hour process I had to figure out myself.

It was as a hassle to install and my expensive worm drive saw is tied up as it takes too long to remount the blade guard. The chips are dropped up on top of the cut which blocks the line as you cut so a vacuum or blower line to move them makes life a lot easier.

The attachment does work great. However, in order to get clean square cuts, much as it is using a regular circular saw, the plate must be square to the blade, the saw cannot be forced faster than the saw can remove chips and the blade has to be sharp and lubricated. I use it on anything over 3x4 lumber, landscape timbers and fence posts.

My house sits on 0.2 acres in a suburban development.  We have many types of bushes.  It does a great job of trimming small branches and new growth.  It will not trim anything thick or dense.  For occasional light use it is perfect.  If you have a lot of trimming to do regularly on thick growth then get something more powerful.

This is a good hedge trimmer for the price.  I sometimes need something just a touch more heavy duty, but this works well.  I should have followed reviews and bought the extra battery when I purchased it.  A second battery is a must.

I was headed about my front hedges,it is to high for me to cut it. And I found this hedge trimmer to have a try.it does a really good job. The angling head is great for reaching over the top of large hedge. It is a bit heavy, but the blades cut quite well.just wish it had a handle on the bar to hold on to a little bit better, other than that it's great. I had all my hedges trimmed and was done in around 20 minutes where usually it takes me a little over an hour. I would definitely recommend the product to anyone!

Trimming a hedge can be done in different ways. I prefer a trimmer with battery, since I have cut the long electric cords in the past. I have not find as yet however a satisfactory battery. The 12 V regular mushroom shaped battery supplied about 1 hour power.
The 22" 20 V trimmer does also supply about 1 hour of energy, not long enough to complete my work. The trimmer is well balanced and trims better and has more power than my older 20" 12 V Black and Decker trimmer. It took 4 hours to completely recharge the Lithium 20 V battery. This means I have to trim, charge and complete the job the nexr day.
The trimmer itself works well, but its battery's is for me insufficient, and hopefully Black and Decker may in the future supply a trimmer with an adequate battery lasting 2 1/2 hours without charging.

My hedge trimmer also worked well temporarily. I was amazed how it ate up the branches and brush. The second year I tried it and every time it encountered even a simple twig it would jam. The blades appeared to be OK and the motor would just humm. I'd always shut it down right away when this happened. It's so annoying to use it now and it's out of warranty I'll buy a better unit that will last with heavier use. I have about 2 acres and this is just not enough hedge trimmer for what i have to deal with.

Follow up - purchased a Little Wonder 24 inch electric and this thing makes the Hedge Hog look like a toy. The Little Wonder is a serious piece of equipment with the blades about three times the thickness of the B&D unit. I should have purchased this thing years ago. No more B&D junk.

The door is very well made and works well. That said BELIVE the instructions when they say be good at construction or hire a professional to install it.  The issue is that if your home has 16inch on center studs in the wall you will have to cut thru one to handle the width of the frame. If your wall studs are 24 inch on center this won't be an issue for spacing and makes for a simpler install. To do the job right this means installing a header support beam to hold the wall. That said the double flap system works really well keeping the drafts out and the flaps are heavy enough that they don't shift in high winds. Our 120lb PYR and 20lb small dogs both have no problem with access. If your pet has shoulders that allow the narrower X-large door the install will be easier and I would not hesitate to get the same door from this company.

Jumping right in... The 40610GH only works well for surfacing since the fence is so crummy. The fence can work but must be squared each time it's used. This is a big hassle, plus the fence will flex away from its position when the work piece is pushed against it.
So why did I give this 3 stars? The granite tables are very good and they are adjustable, although the manual doesn't explain how to do so. The Helical Style cutter is great and even with HSS inserts gives really clean, snipe-free cuts. Carbide inserts are better and available online elsewhere. The motor is just okay, a bit weak for the 6 inch width but with practice (on feed speed and depth) holds RPM.
Don't try to use the 40610GH right out of the box! On mine the in-feed and out-feed tables were so out of plane and out of level I would've ruined the work I was doing and might have even had safety issues. I can totally imagine that other negative reviews where snipe and chatter is the case is most likely due to the really bad factory setup. I used a 1-2-3 Block, a "machinist level", and a precision straight edge and about one hour of time to set mine up. When it was done the surfaces produced are so flat and clean that there's a slight vacuum when I lift the work off the out-feed table.
At the end of the day, for me, the 40610GH is a great bench-top surface planer once it's well setup.

I will first start by saying I may misspell some words for the schubs I have. I also own a Kawasaki brush cutter ,combo hedge cutter that I use when things get out of hand. I bought this to keep my hedges neat from week to week without having to bring out the big boy. Now I have cut azaleas and boxwoods and nandien bushes with this unit with no problems. But I have around 10 camilia bushes that are 50 plus years old that gave it a hassle. They are so thick and the leaves so large that only the new shoots can be cut neatly with the unit which is what I expected.
