★★★★☆
Works well.
This is my fourth tool in the 20V MAX series from Black & Decker. I'm beginning to like it (the series).
PROS
Functionally, it works as advertised. I trimmed my 5' bushes with relative ease, even cutting through some branches as thick as 1/2" (with a little extra elbow grease on the big ones). It's not complicated to operate, and the battery lasts a solid hour. The two grips are pretty ergonomic, so you won't wear yourself out holding it. It feels sturdy and reliable.
NEUTRAL
It makes as much noise as a regular hedge trimmer, and weighs about the same. Nothing amazes me about it, but there isn't anything bad to say about it. The price I paid ($99) was fair.
CONS
None, except that now I have no excuse to not trim the bushes!
