22" Cordless Hedge Trimmer, Electric Hedge Trimmer with Dual-Action Blades, Lightweight Bush Trimmer with 4.4 LBS, Battery & Charger Not Included, WG261.9

I used it to trim down some ornamental grass and some flowering shrubs. Not a heavy tool and easy to manage. Very easy to assemble out of the box. Battery is small, hence the lighter weight. Battery just plugs into a regular socket, no separate charger. I think I used it for about a half an hour. Easy to use. Length is good for the type of basic trimming of shrubs I did from ground level at a reasonable height. The tool comes with a blade cover that's soft plastic, not much but it's something. The manufacturer recommends just plain old WD 40 to lubricate blades. Great not to have to use a cord. I like it. I would buy again.

WHY HAVE I WASTED MY LIFE WITHOUT A HEDGE TRIMMER?!? I have never owned a hedge trimmer. I have 5 acres of yard and woods. I mostly kept up the past 22 years with hand trimmers and tons of time, but fell behind the past two years because of injuries. The invasive honeysuckle, florabunda roses, blackberries, grapevines and forsythia have taken over. I decided a hedge trimmer was my last chance - researched and bought this one because it was lighter weight (I am female, 54, on the small side, not that strong) had two safety points, and got good reviews from a tech site. This thing is amazing. I am in love. My forsythia had overgrown about ten feet tall and five feet wide, with large grapevines growing through it and onto the pine trees beside. It cut through it like butter - even the large canes and thumb-wide grapevine stems. Cut it down to 4ft tall in minutes. Cuts through large honeysuckle in seconds. Overhanging branches? No problem. Evil overgrown invasive roses - not a scratch on me. I don't know what the people who say it gets stuck are trying to cut - anything larger than what I'm going through would be a sapling. Though it did manage a few tiny saplings with no problem. Used it about 90 minutes (stopping and starting to rake) and battery was only down a bar. Because you have to hold it in two places, I never felt like I was going to cut off fingers or slice through my leg. It was easy to get the blades to stop. The con: Even lightweight is heavy. After 90 minutes with lots of starts and stops my arms are limp. I could lift it over my head for minutes at a time - but I will not be reclaiming my land in one morning. I've spent years on the fence about getting one of these and wish I'd had one 20 years ago. And this one does everything a person with acres of invasive bushes needs to keep them under control. I can't speak to durability - but it was worth the price just to cut that forsythia down to size and get my treeline under control so I can mow. I highly recommend.

Here's my wife's review of this product: I bought this after reading the review here from the 68-year-old woman. I figured if she could use this, so could I. I'm in my 40s, but I'm lazy, short, and hate yardwork with a passion. I live on a little farm and I usually think that if I really want any greenery trimmed back, I can adopt a goat. But recently the path from my house to my barn and my driveway have both gotten pretty overgrown with blackberries and other bushes and trees. Not only do I not enjoy getting hit in the face with bushes, but the company that picks up our garbage told us we need to trim our driveway because they don't want their garbage truck to get scratched. And since I really don't have time for a goat right now, I figured I'd have to do some trimming. After gazing in despair at my manual clippers, I thought, "There's got to be a better way!" (yes, just like a dummy in an infomercial). So I did some research on Amazon and got this little number. I didn't want anything that was harder to operate than an electric toothbrush. I didn't want to deal with cords, or gasoline, or having to read instructions. I didn't want anything heavy or unweildy. This fit the bill perfectly. I charged up the battery, put on some safety goggles and went to town. This trimmer was so light and easy to use; you can switch directions and hands at will, and it cuts through bushes like butter. I even chopped through some pretty significant branches (thicker than 3/4 inches across) with no problems. I used it for 45 minutes and it didn't run out of charge. Whacking at things with this tool is actually really fun. So if you are: - Lazy - Short - Weak - Not into yardwork . . . but also: - Don't like getting hit in the face with bushes walking around in your own yard - Don't want to get yelled at for your bushes scratching someone's garbage truck - Are too busy to adopt your own goats . . . then this trimmer is for you! This would probably also work out just great for someone strong, tall, and motivated, but I can't speak to that from personal experience. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

Works great on small limbs but gets caught and stops on limbs up to 1/2 inch to inch. You have to work to get limb out of teeth safely. Well-made and does work great on small hedge limbs. Well-made but does not thru 1/2 inch or larger. Battery charges well and last.

This Worx 20V hedge trimmer is fantastic! Even though we have a John Deere H20S gas trimmer that works really great, it is heavy at almost 15 lbs. and hard to wield for an hour of use This super lightweight Worx trimmer makes trimming hedges so much easier on the arms and shoulders. I figured the 20V Worx would be slow and underpowered, but it not at all. It makes quick work of the heaver trimming we have here at home. Cuts the trimming time and is so nice to just pickup and pull the trigger on. So much less effort to use vs a gas powered unit. I used to dread doing the trimming with the heavy gas unit, and now with the 20V Worx its so much better. I'm super impressed! We also already had a small 20V Worx chainsaw we use in the side-by-side along with the small cutting needs around the house, so the Worx hedge trimmer was a natural fit with the shared battery. We're really super impressed with both of these Worx 20V tools. The only thing I would want is a better and more heavy duty plastic blade guard to slip on the Worx 20V trimmer, it only comes with a lousy & flimsy plastic bag style protector in the shipping box. It's really just about worthless for blade protection.

This trimmer is lightweight, balanced, and works great! I'm looking for things to trim just to use it!! The battery goes for a long time, I have the chainsaw too so I can use the same batteries and don't have to wait to charge! I highly recommend both the WORX tools I have!

I'm always on the lookout for tools that make yard work easier and more enjoyable, and the WORX WG261.9 20V Power Share 22" Cordless Hedge Trimmer definitely fits the bill! I've been using it for the past few weeks, and I'm absolutely thrilled with its performance. Lightweight and Powerful: First off, this trimmer is surprisingly lightweight, especially considering its 22-inch blade length. I was able to maneuver it around my hedges and bushes with ease, even when reaching for those higher branches. No more struggling with heavy, corded trimmers that leave you feeling like you've just finished a workout! Despite its lightweight design, the WG261.9 packs a real punch. The 20V motor provides ample power for tackling even the thickest branches, and the dual-action blades make quick work of even the most overgrown hedges. I was able to trim my hedges into perfect shape in no time at all. Ergonomic Design and User-Friendly Features: Another thing I love about this trimmer is the ergonomic design. The D-grip handle is comfortable to hold, even during extended use, and the trigger is easy to control. Plus, the safety features, like the hand guard and blade protector, give me peace of mind while I'm working. Another bonus feature is the WORX Power Share battery system. I already have a few WORX power tools, so I was able to use the same battery with this trimmer. No need to buy separate batteries for each tool, which is a major plus in my book! Overall, I'm extremely impressed with the WORX WG261.9 20V Power Share 22" Cordless Hedge Trimmer. It's lightweight, powerful, ergonomic, and user-friendly. It's made my yard work so much easier and faster, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality cordless hedge trimmer.

I cannot recommend this hedge trimmer enough! I have always hated trimming the bushes around my house. I have like (not kidding) 15 total. It takes so much time and it's a pain to do. This thing is super sharp and cuts with ease. Its not heavy and I don't feel exhausted after using it. The battery life is good as long as the battery is full when you start using it, it will last the whole way around the house. I wish I had gotten it sooner than I did b/c life is so much easier now with keeping the front looking well maintained
