Weedeater GHT225 Gas Hedge Trimmer

Up to now, I had used only electric hedge trimmers, which work fine on small jobs but take significantly longer on big jobs. The difference in productivity is amazing. An ivy covered wall that used to take about 2 hours to trim with an electric hedge trimmer takes only 20 minutes with the Poulan Pro. It cuts as fast as it swipes and even thicker branches hardly slow it down, compared to the electric trimmers which would regularly bog down on the thicker stuff. The only disadvantage is the Poulan Pro is much heavier. However, I would say that at the end of the job, my arms are equally as tired; while the electric trimmer is much lighter, the job takes much longer. I'm very pleased with this purchase - a job that used to take all day is now finished well before lunch time.
