Customer Reviews for RYOBI 40V HP Brushless 26 in. Cordless Battery Hedge Trimmer (Tool Only)

Excellent power and battery life.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Worked great when we trimmed back grapevines on our chain link fence

What a great trimmer this is! It’s big enough to do the job quickly and efficiently but not so large that it’s hard to handle (I’m a 75+ yo small woman). I love that the handle rotates so trimming odd places is easier. It’s powerful, runs a long time on the battery and uses the same 40V batteries and charger that I use for my Ryobi blower. Very happy with my purchase.

Hello.. I had bought a pair of 22-in 40 volt hedge trimmers from ryobi's performance line at the time... I use product for 3 years and need a new blades... I couldn't find new blades so I opted to buy a new set of hedge trimmers 26 inch brushless hedge trimmers Ryobi I was expecting great performance but I was wrong... Machine lagged when grabbing the power handles the 22-in Ryobi machine cut better than the 26 brushless... I don't know if I got a damaged product but it was dissatisfied with the 26-in brushless Ruby machine

Great item, works perfect. Did more than i expected. Every one will behapoy to have it

The first one wasn’t working after the first day and had to exchange for a new one. The second one was working properly and surprisingly cut thru pretty moderate to heavy shrubbery

The battery trimmer is so much lighter than my gas trimmer. It doesn’t tire my back like the gas typ[e did when trimming across the tops of hedges. It is much easier for an old man to use. Don

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was using a 20-30 year old 12 inch hedger that still worked but it was slow and my wife and I each cut an extension cord. This unit is so much faster and does a much better job.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have only used it for a short period of time as that all it took. I bought this because the 2-stroke trimmer I have wouldn't start and I didn't have time to screw with it. The trimmer has good balance and it pretty light for its size and power, 8.9 lbs. It seems to have plenty of power; I am not sure I could tell the difference between the gas powered one and the Ryobi

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this utem and is been working great battery last for a long time

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked how easy you can use this trimmer. Very recomended!

This trimmer is a huge step up from the 18V trimmer, and battery powered trimmers in general. This even out-cuts my plug-in trimmer with thick weeds and brush. With the battery in, this thing feels pretty hefty, but you'll spend less time trimming and have less arm fatigue.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this tool last week and trimmed my cedar hedge and bush hedge in an hour! Lots of power. No problem cutting a 1" branch. Easy to use, lightweight yet powerful. So nice not having a cord. Have recommended this tool to my neighbour already.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought it this morning to trim my hedges. So easy to use. My only “complaint” is my arm got tired. Lol

Works good for home use. Wide slots cut thick branches.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great for keeping hedges nice. Easy to use. Charges fast. Lasts quite awhile. Very useful for small and medium jobs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I added this to my 40v collection a month ago. The 40v collections are Great products and glad I got them. It makes yard work a breeze.

Good for what I needed it for, over grown hedges just a hair over an inch. Cut great

Cut through 1/4-1/2 inch brush without too much difficulty As effective as a previous corded hedge trimmer. Have never used gas powered so cannot compare but is quite light so is easy to handle for over 1 hour Have several other 40v Ryobi so battery life not an issue Just swap it out after 20-30 minutes depending on how continuous it is run The rotating handle is helpful for doing cutting along fence line. One does not have to hold hands in awkward positions Need both hands so not able to reach for that branch and need to get the ladder. ( probably should not be reaching anyway)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Makes trimming scrubs and quick and easy task. The guide "sweeps" all the trimmings off as you go and makes clean up easy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this once so far to trim a bunch of bushes and hedge and it worked really well. Great cutting and I like that it never gets stuck, just reverses and stops automagically. The only issue I have is that it is heavy, and that is with the small 2Ah battery. I replaced an electric trimmer that broke, but I could hold that in one hand to get up high. This one needs two hands at all times.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this at the beginning of summer and used it a couple time since. Never had any issue, even when cutting through thick branches.
