HART 20-Volt Cordless Hybrid 18-inch Hedge Trimmer Kit, (1) 2.0Ah Lithium-Ion Battery

I am really happy with this trimmer, it works great and I love that it's on the smaller side, it's perfect for small jobs. This is the first time having a battery powered trimmer, I was fearful that it would not have enough power and or that it would not last long enough to finish the job, after using it on all my hedges in the backyard I was really impressed, it had plenty of power and never once acted like the battery was low. I did try it with a power cord just to compare and it worked just the same, no difference in the power, although I appreciate that it gives you the option for a cord I will only use it with the battery because in the past I have gone through a couple power cords by accidently cutting through them, plus I love the freedom of not having a cord, makes it so much easier to use. As I said earlier I love the size, I am on the small side myself, only 5ft tall so this is easy for me to hold and use, also it is fairly lightweight, around 7lbs or so. As far as the noise level I will say it's on the high side, its definitely loud and not something you want to use at 8am unless you want angry neighbors, but that being said I don't think I have ever come across a trimmer that was quiet. I do recommend this trimmer, it's great quality, easy to use, and has plenty of power.
