5 out of 5 stars Nice little piece   July 17, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

My son bot a house w/ all of the contents. This was one of them. It still had a bit of a charge left, so my wife took it and tried it on our shrubs. She fell in love w/ it !! Only problem was, no charger. So I searched for a new charger, when I found one, on line, it was $20.00 + s+h ! I found a complete new unit on Amazon.com, for $34.99 shipped !!! Now we have 2 trimmers and a charger, for only $10.00 more than just the price of a charger. She absolutely loves it, and has a extra fully charged unit if she gets REALLY ambitious !

I love this trimmer. I have a small wheeled cart that I push around the yard to weed and trim my flowers and bushes. I keep this trimmer right in the cart and can use it for small touch ups.


5 out of 5 stars The BEST light-duty tool!   July 5, 2008
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

Years ago I owned one of these trimmers(& loved it), but the new models are a lot lighter. I'm a woman in my mid-50's & wanted something light & cordless. I can whip through a bush using only one hand. I wanted something that would do light trimming & would be quick & hassle free. This is it! No cord to mess with. Now, you lose something in these smaller, lighter trimmers. And that's a lot of power. It's NOT for heavy duty trimming. It is great for boxwoods & I even trim my forsythia bushes with it (although some of the branches are too thick for the trimmer to cut through). I've also used it on my rose bushes & it does a great job. For light trimming, I would definitely recommend this trimmer.


2 out of 5 stars Not very powerful   June 29, 2008
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

I purchased this tool because I have quite a few small boxwoods that I need to trim. I thought a small shrubber like this would be great, especially since it is cordless. However, the slow cutting speed makes it inadequate for the job, and the battery makes it quite heavy, not ideal when you have more than a few shrubs to trim. I am using my manual hedge shears again.
Only buy this for very light work.

I really like this little trimmer. The charge lasts a little over 30 minutes and the cutting ability is better than I expected. Works just great for small trimming jobs and it's not too heavy for higher work.
