Comment:
We had just gotten a house and inherited a jungle of ivy, Italian cypress, and bougainvillea bushes. This worked wonderfully on them. We tried cutting the jungle with a chainsaw first, but that actually did not work as well on the smaller branches.
It is not heavy so it can be used for a couple hours without taking a break. You do have to be careful, as the cord is there, but it is lighter than the gas versions, as with those, you have to hold up the weight of the gas. Same for the chunky battery kind. Those were heavier when we tried them.
We've been using this for over a year without any problems. I highly recommend this hedge hog.

The on and off switch is deep in a hole surrounded by hard plastic. Turning it on and off scrapes your thumb. Really ridiculous! Who are these engineers???

Nice electric hedge trimmer

Comment:
I purchased this Black & Decker HH2450 electric hedge trimmer to use on our smaller hedges and bushes. It works very well on the smaller items, but the Stihl HS45 gas trimmer that we also have makes minced meat of it on the larger evergreens and shrubs. However, if you only have a few, we have 139 arbor vita evergreens along our back yard border, then this electric hadge trimmer is worth looking at. It takes a little effort to get the larger branches and twigs to feed into the smaller B&D HH2450 trimmer. But I guess this is because of the safety design of the blades on it. I will note that I have already cut into my jeans and some minor cuts on my legs with the larger more powerful Stihl gas trimmer and its larger opening teeth on its blades. You just have to be more careful when using the larger, heavier, noisier and smelly gas trimmer.

Effective Hedge Trimmer

Comment:
This hedge trimmer does exactly what Black&Decker claim it will. It cuts quickly and easily. It can be a touch slow on the bigger branches that are quoted within the size limits. Otherwise, great product so far. I have only used it a couple times and owned it for only a few months, so I can't comment on longterm reliability.

Cuts Fine/Be careful of shipping packaging

Comment:
I have used this Hedge Hog once and it seems to cut OK. What was disappointing was how it was shipped. The warehouse simply sent it in it's original box without any protection. The blade protrudes in the package and it got bent. I was able to straighten it out, but it could have easily been broken or bent out of control. Amazon needs to be careful on packaging this to ensure it won't break or bend.
