Sun Joe Electric 19" Telescoping Convertible Pole Hedge Trimmer, 4.5-Amp, Multi-Angle Head

I had a less powerful pole trimmer that wouldn't cut through the thicker branches so I replaced it with this one. Have not had any problems with insufficient power with this one. I have a number of tall evergreens and other tall shrubs and this one eats right through them, where as my old trimmer had to gnaw on them for a while before making any progress. I have another trimmer that I use for shorter bushes and only use this one for tall bushes, since this one is considerable heavier. This trimmer is heavier than my old pole trimmer and I do notice it, especially when I have to use a ladder and extend the trimmer out to maximum reach, but it has reduced the time it takes to get the job done. Now that I'm in my late 70's, I probably notice the weight more now too. I'm sure I wouldn't have noticed it 10 years ago, but it becomes very noticeable now after two or three hours using it fully extended. Since I only have to do this 4 or 5 times a year, I can put up with the extra weight. Anyway, its a wonderful trimmer and it has reduced my cutting time in half. I give it a big 2 thumbs up.

I already had one Sunjoe chainsaw and loved it. I was looking for a corded hedge trimmer with an extension to reach the top of the bushes I wanted to trim. This product is very powerful and works as describer. I trimmed a lot since I bought it, even thick branches without any problems. The extension is so nice, not to have to get on a ladder to reach the top and can reach shrubs 3 feet way. It's easy to connect and remove the extension, very light without the extension, a little heavy with it. I love the fact that you can control it using the big handle and not have to keep your finger on the trigger. I am very stays with this product and recommend it.
