It cuts as you would expect,however, that’s where the good stuff ends. I weight train 3 times a week but still found the machine really heavy and uncomfortable to use especially when fully extended. Because it’s now used it is difficult to send back. The cutting end of the machine is at the top and the battery and light end is at the bottom, making the whole experience awkward.

it's a long way from the right place to hold it to the switch! And only 2 lengths, not really telescopic. Works really well though!
Excellent value Quality product
Cuts really well and with the pole, can reach high places
Easy to use and no ladder required due the the extended reach. Very powerful and lightweight
My son had this as a present for his work, he is very pleased with it. Lightweight but very tough
First class Recommended
Very good and easy to use Saves having to use ladders
Whilst I'm comparing this product to an old wired hedge trimmer I found it easy to use, if a bit difficult to balance due to the length and weight, it is quiet and quick.
Great deal. Big fan of the One+ range from lawnmowers and tyre inflaters to drills and chain saws.
Very heavy

A bit top heavy, particularly with the extension, it makes cutting really high branches difficult as they move about more than bottom branches which are a bit more rigid, did the job but a bit harder than expected. Good quality. Probably fine as I will only use it a couple of times a year.
Handy product a little heavy when fully extended after a while
My wife and I thought this would be safer than getting on steps to cut some of our taller bushes as my wife is in her late 70's and I am 80. Although the product description does give the weight of the Hedge Trimmer we thought we should be able to manage it together. We were wrong. It is unwieldly and our one attempt was unsuccessful. Hopefully the next time our 6ft grandson is in the area he will be able to do the jobs for us.

The cutting blade is very effective - sharp and efficient Very difficult to get the blade cover back on after use It’s very heavy ! A lot heavier than my previous trimmer and the weight is all in the head so with the extension fitted it’s not easy to control especially as the power switch is at the extremity of the pole - you’re holding on end and all the weight is as far away as can be - the poles flex quite a bit with the weight as they’re only plastic so I wonder about what the expected work life is before they crack or split due to the strain It’s a good tool with a good reach but quite tricky to control in extended mode due to the weight and pole flex

Top heavy. Avoid unless you've been to the gym

Works well for higher hedges easy to use does a good job with out ladder
The trigger is to far away from the holding point.

Sorry only have given it a 4, that is that after a Stroke in Feb 24 some of your tools are sometimes I find them a struggle to hold and use it so I have to wait for one of my Sons to help me with use them. And my wife says I have to wait for adult supervision,What a cheek !!! Especially as I am nearly 68.
Brilliant product for trimming pleached trees and so much easier than corded products
