GARCARE 2 in 1 Electric Pole Hedge Trimmer, Power Hedge Trimmer with 18 inch Dual-Action Laser Cut & Adjustable Cutting Head, 4.8Amp, 600W, Corded

This hedge trimmer is really sharp and does an excellent job. I have cut through some branches that are close to 1/4 inch thick. The only complaint I have is that it is pretty heavy. I tire quickly using it. Of course I’m 72 years old and not as strong as I was in my younger years. However, I do recommend this trimmer for it’s power and sharpness.

The media could not be loaded. Like any kind of yard equipment, if you'll be using it constantly, get gas powered and take care of it. I only have one set of bushes and just the edge of my yard to keep up with. Does amazing for what it is, and extends out more than I can comfortably hold it for long periods of time. Because it's just an extension for a normal hedge trimmer, the electric motor is still housed near the top. Makes it heavy at the end, but I don't need it extended out for too long.

This trimmer appears to be well made, however, it doesn't work in the manner I needed. I thought from the picture that it could be used in a 90 degree mode to trim ground cover under bushes. The 90 degree mode only works for trimming overhead. I returned it and have been fighting with the seller for more than a month to have my payment refunded. Very frustrating.

But still heavy for a woman and my shoulders & upper arms hurt for days!
