Really quiet compared to my previous hedge trimmer. At first when I powered it up, I thought, what had I done. It appeared to be lacking power. But how wrong I was.

I have always used petrol tools but this makita hedgecutter with a 4hm battery is as good as petrol

I bought this as I needed a hedge trimmer for occasional use and I already have another Makita 18v cordless tool. I was a little concerned that it might be under-powered or have a short run-time on the 3Ah battery that I have. Not at all: with a little patience it cuts through slim branches up to about 20mm diameter and I completed a very overgrown beech hedge in our garden (approx. 10m long by 3m high) with one recharge. And as Makita batteries charge in only 30-40 minutes that was perfect for a tea break from hedge trimming! A good value well-made functional tool for domestic use.

Powerful professional kit. Makes light work of thicker stems that most other trimmers can't handle. Well balanced in use and safety switch combination ensures it can't run unless held with two hands. Takes a few minutes to get used to safety switch combination but it's not difficult. Battery life - seems to go on for hours with intermittent use. Very happy I chose the Makita.

Probably as good a cordless hedge trimmer as is currently available. As an existing Makita user - drill, screwdriver, saws, etc - I expect this hedgetrimmer to easily cope with my domestic needs.
