                  This hedge trimmer really does a nice job. It easily cuts through the thicker branches of our boxwood hedges and the battery life is impressive. Great product at a good value.
                  by
                  Well after 20+ years my 18v Black & Decker Hedge Trimmer was no longer up to the task. I expect the new Ryobi 40V Hedge Trimmer will perform outstandingly as the other 40V tools in my growing collection. Haven’t used it yet as the annual cold weather advance has not reached Central Texas yet causing Lantanas and my ornamental grasses to melt. Out of the box I really like the hearty blade sheald and the debris sweep. Thanks Ryobi for paying attention to the details that count.

                    Does the job with great battery life
                    Just bought this today and I'm super impressed with the power and the battery. I did a 20' long cedar hedge (one side), a 70' yew hedge (both sides and top) and a bunch of other shrubs on one charge. It got the job done and didn't have to charge battery once..

                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used my new trimmer thoroughly for its first time. No issues whatsoever and had plenty of charge left to repeat it all again. I am very happy with this trimmer.

                        Defective - Ryobi Won’t Honor Warranty
                        I purchased this this hedge trimmer which was entirely defective out of the box. Nothing looked damaged and batteries were functional - the product simply didn’t turn on. After multiple months of trying to make warranty claims with Ryobi, they keep re-asking the same questions, ignoring my concerns, or mistakingly thinking there’s no warranty because they confuse it for another product. After following their instructions, Ryobi won’t honor my warranty because both their website and app are so glitchy that it doesn’t provide the option to generate the shipping label for service. And for some reason they won’t generate the shipping label on my behalf - they now just ask insulting questions that I’ve answered already such as: is the battery is charged? This has gotten so ridiculous that I may have to elevate this beyond their customer support staff and make a larger claim if they don’t fix it soon.

                          Very solid. Battery lasts way longer on the hedge than string. It cuts and feels like gas powered. Lightweight and has some solid safety features
                          by
                          Powerful, tough and works like a champ!!! These are the BEST trimmers. I don't just say "hedge" because I use them to make my way through monstrous blackberries that weave a literal wall through the wooded area of my property. Also, have to add that when I'm using the bigger battery, I think that's the 4H, I can and do run it constantly for over an hour, easily. Just can't say enough.....this is a good machine!
