I'm very satisfied with this hedge trimmer !! Thanks to its very light weight and its short scissors it can lead to super light. You get not make lame arm after 1 hour. Even thicker branches this hedge trimmer cut properly. The connection cable is really short and you can easily lose the extension cord. That is, if, for example: increase to a ladder, then it is better to tackle on the coupling of the extension cable and thus absorb the weight of the extension cord. For this price a highly recommended hedge trimmer.
