Great Trimmer
When I purchased this, I was concerned that being battery operated it would be underpowered. That's not the case at all, it has plenty of power. The battery charge lasts longer than I do, too.A real pleasure to get away from the cord. The vibration is much less than any other trimmer I've tried.

Great trimmer
This trimmer lives up to its claims. The battery lasts a full 40 minutes and it cuts through vegetation up to a half inch (will depend on hardness of the stem). I also liked the sheath that comes with the trimmer. The sheath can be screwed into a wall and the trimmer slides into it for convenient storage. The safety trigger takes a little getting used to, but is a great saftey feature. I would highly recommend.

No More Cut Cords!
I agree with what was said in the earlier review. My own comparison is with the 10 year old B&D 22" electric that it replaced. I was impressed in that it gives up nothing in terms of power. I used it today for the first time on my 150' of hedges and lots of other bushes, especially hugh forsythias. It did all the trimming with no sign at all of battery fatigue. It's much smoother in operation than the old one. There are two things I didn't like about it. The forward handle is mad...

Good trimmer
Black and Decker has a few cordless hedge trimmers so I was a bit confused which to try. This was their latest model and boasted a 40 minute run time so I decided to go for it.
The product worked great. I charged the battery the full 6 hours required when you first get it. What's nice about it is after the initial charge the full charge time is 3-6 hours, but the unit can left charging indefinitely without damaging the unit.
The unit performed admirably. It cut beautifully and the charge l...

Great until the battery dies after a few uses
I had the same experience as another reviewer with this trimmer. It worked great until the battery stopped accepting a charge after just a few uses. I have had this problem with other Black & Decker cordless products and vowed never to buy another from them (and have not had this issue with other cordless tool manufacturers). However, at the time this was the only cordless trimmer on the market with an 18V battery. I should have listened to myself. What a waste of money.

The Best of the Bunch......
I purchased the new B&D lawncare trio comprising a trimmer, blower, and this hedger. By far and away, this hedger stands out as the best of the 3 tools that use the new 18 volt format.
The power is sufficient and the run time is thorough. I wish I could say that for the trimmer and blower but that's for another review.
This cordless will make you forget about the loud and smelly gas powered models (good-bye high gas prices) and you will enjoy the increased freedom ...

Be wary of reviews by people that just purchased this item!
I have had this unit for almost a full year. I have used it about 12 times now. The first time was good; neat not having a cord. The second time alright. The third time the battery petered out after 15 minutes. As it is now, the battery doesn't hold a charge just sitting on the shelf even though you might have charged it fully before putting it away. I just went to use it one last time... it lasted all of 5 minutes. Who wants to sit around waiting for 3 hours for a battery to charge and then bam...

Battery life is a huge disappointment!!!
What good is a powerful trimmer if the battery only lasts a few minutes? I charged this fully when I first got it. It never lasted for more than 15 minutes of light to moderate duty hedge trimming. I have had it less than 6 months, and now it lasts for five minutes! I let the battery run down before I charge it, but I do not tie a piece of twine to the power switch or hold it until it is completely dead (which isn't easy on your hands). I wait until it can no longer cut the hedge and can barely ...

B&D Cordless Hedge Trimmer
I have yet to purchase a product made by B & D that has met my expectation of standards. Prior to this purchase I had another Brand Cordless with a 24 V rechargeable battery. Afther a couple years of use the motor just stopped and to my disappointment Amazon no longer has the brand so I ordered the B & D. The cutting power of this tool is quite satisfactory - my complaint is the inconvenient switch. First one must slide the safety lock to an open position and then hold it while simultaneou...

cordless hedge trimmer
The unit is weak and underpowered and having purchased this item for 79.95 dollars, I was surprised to find it for sale at Home Depot for 10.00 dollars less. It would be to much trouble to send it back so I guess I am stuck with it.
