GreenworksG40HT61 Cordless Hedge Trimmer, 61cm Dual Action Blade, Cuts up to 27mm Thick Branches and Stems, 3000spm WITHOUT 40V Battery & Charger, 3 Year Guarantee, Tool only

This item was so easy to use no trailing cables ,no tripping over the wire and no chance of cutting the wire best hedge trimmer that I have ever used.It gave me the confidence to cut the hedges as it felt alot safer for me to use .

Bought this as part of a Greenworks Bundle … the batteries and crater work great and the batteries have a decent life span so i was pretty happy with this. Dead easy but my arms ache quite a bit. I definately recommend getting a harness. I could also do with an extension on the reach as my hedge is around 10ft high

This is a good machine. Pricier than I was looking to pay but having read many reviews of many hedge trimmers opted for this one as I thought, 'I only want to buy once!' It is well built; safety on/off switch involves 3x buttons which is needed given that the handle for carrying necessarily involves pressing the lever for trimmer action. The guard is strong and additionally serves as protection when the trimmer is in use. Battery life (2.5amp hours) is more than adequate for my purposes. The trimmer made light work of cutting back a jasmine, 5 metres length and privet hedge, 3.5 metres length. Starting fully charged, the battery charge indicator on the attached battery (a small button needs to be depressed to display status of charge) showed 3 lights remaining out of four to fully cut back overgrown front garden hedge; same for jasmine in back garden. And the battery incidentally is the easiest to slide on/off both the trimmer and the charger. The body of the handle can be swivelled to a horizontal position which is handy for tackling hedges from different angles .Needless to say, great not to have to worry about trailing and cutting cables! My only slight detraction, and it seems hardly fair to mention it as such, is that I found it is a bit on the heavy side for prolonged use. I am small and just 45kg. It is about 4kg with battery attached. There are lighter alternatives on the market. I have, as I say perhaps unfairly, given an overall 4 stars rather than 5 for this reason.

Having used petrol machinery for years I was surprised how efficient and good the power isVery pleased

this hedge trimmer is so easy to use it make a good job of cutting the hedge very very pleased with it

These are perfect for trimming bushes into the shape I wanted in the garden.

Works and cuts very well battery lasts well.

I have several other Greenworks devices, and several 40v batteries. I bought another device (I think it was a chainsaw), but none of my batteries fitted it. So it went back.I took a chance on this hedge trimmer, and was relieved to find that my existing batteries fitted it.I've been gradually replacing my corded devices with cordless, and this fits in perfectly.Such a relief not to have a cord dragging around. It cuts fine, just like my corded one. And feels much safer, especially up a ladder. And this one rotates 90° left or right.Recommended if you have other devices already.
