BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX Cordless Hedge Trimmer with Power Command Powercut, 22-Inch (LHT321FF)

When my B&D electric Hedgehog trimmers needed sharpened, the price came back more expensive than a new set of trimmers. So I went shopping on Amazon and after reading reviews, loved what I was reading about this model.What used to be an all-day job to do 15 large bushes and clean up turned into 2.5 hours!!!On top of that, they are so quiet I think I could wear my MP3 next time and listen to books. They kind of sounded like a remote control plane flying close overhead. No ringing in the ears!!This model is so light and maneuverable that I was able to do the bushes in a more rounded manner rather than square. The wife loved this, saying it made the bushes look so soft that you could fall into them.Here is a big point: TIME!!!! Until I myself started running out of steam, I was averaging 5 minutes per bush (approx. 4-foot x 4-foot x 4-foot high each) x 15 bushes. With these trimmers, what used to be an all-day process was start to dumpster in 2.5 hours.As for battery use, fantastic!! I did switch batteries mid-job just to see if I was losing any power and so as not to run 1 battery too far down, but I believe I could have finished on one 20 volt battery if needed. I did not notice a post-change power bump, so I think was not necessary.I have slowly switched all of my tools to 20-volt B&D and now have 4 batteries and chargers. I recommend having at least 2 since I did change and so as not to overheat your batteries.I did find a use for the Power Command several times and loved it!!! When I bound up, instead of wrestling the trimmers free, I simply hit the Power Command button and it trimmed the culprits clean.I cannot recommend these enough!!! Having used B&D Hedgehogs for 17 years, these are a great replacement for that corded model that is no longer available from what I am seeing on Amazon.Enjoy!! Jim Patton

I am exceptionally happy with this hedge trimmer and cannot recommend it highly enough!It offers Extremely effective cutting, is light and Easy to handle, has a long battery life, theres no cord or gas involved, its fairly priced and, a serious time saver.- it takes me 1/4 the time of hand cutting.Three years ago, I planted many gorgeous bougainvillea which are prolific and have killer thorns. I bought this because even hand trimming them regularly, the bougainvillea were growing out of control. I started trimming two days ago and am thrilled with how easy this trimmer was to get going and use, how beautifully it cuts and shapes, its power, the fact that its light and will cut through rather thick branches and, has already saved me many hours of time.. My bougainvillea have not looked this nicely groomed in a while.This would not be for everyone.... but, in case its helpful to you. I've successfully trimmed the grass (weeds) in my small yard with this tool, it worked very well, saved me the expense of hiring someone and, was a serious workout.I am particular, on a budget and 62 years old. I cannot recommend this hedge trimmer highly enough. Buy it!!! And,Thank you Amazon for this product!

The item arrived quickly. It was very easy to assemble. At my advanced age assembling items can be a major problem if grandchildren aren't available. The battery charged quickly. My first use was stellar. It was very sharp. It trimmed the many shrubs in my yard quickly and easily. I already own a B & D string trimmer which I really love but I hesitated about getting this item because it was a little more than I wanted to pay. So very glad I did. Both item batteries last much longer than I expected and the batteries are interchangeable. Science has come a long way since I bought my last set of lawncare tools. So happy that my son recommended these two products. He said it would be the perfect items for little old ladies who need light weight, easy to use garden tools--light weight, easy to start and run, last a long time, need only normal care to keep them in good shape. I'm fairly sure that they will both out live me. Very glad I bought both of these tools.

This hedge trimmer is excellent. Easy to use and cuts through everything I have put it through. Cut up to 3/4" shrub branches easily. Smooth and quiet operation. Light and effortless to use. Only con is the battery life is short. The thicker the cuts the less the battery lasts. It has done everything so nice I will just order another battery. The battery takes a long time to get a full job so If needed for over a half an hour you really should have 2 batteries unless you just want to do some today and some tomorrow.Updated 6/06/2022:Excellent clippers. Super heavy duty. Battery last approximately 1 hour. I ordered a 2nd battery and can now finish our acre yard.Cuts like new. Never had any problems or hiccups.Definitely the best we have ever owned. Stays sharp. Just clean, oil, and put away.Works flawlessly!

This is an outstanding piece of equipment, I was leery of a battery powered trimmer but no more. The battery fully charged lasted 1 full hour of constant cutting and shaping of the bushes. Once it drained I put it on the charger, picked up and bagged all the cuttings for 30 minutes then finished doing the rest of the yard on only a half hour on the charger. Also lightweight, quiet and very easy to use.
