I even I use this hedge trimmer and not being very muscular, I dreaded the weight of the arm's length battery and fatigue that results. It is not. Compared to my old size wire fences, the latter is much more manageable. It enables both precise cuts the size of large hedges with few branches diameter> 1cm. the lack of wireless is quickly forgotten weight. Its autonomy (just under an hour) and its load speed (30min) toggles the steps of cutting and gathering and allows for a large construction site in reduced fatigue.
