I picked up one of these the other day and was pleasantly surprised. I was a little concerned the 2.8 amp motor would not be enough, but I couldn't pass up the great price. Turns out the 2.8 amp motor works great for what I need it for, which is just trimming the small bushes around the house. As long as your not trying to trim things bigger than 3/8" (like the manual states) it cuts through like butter. Great tool!

Very nice/as promised June 28, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
This product replaced a 30 year old hedge trimmer that was well worn.The Black and Decker is very light and easy to handle. It trims well up to the advertised 3/4" diameter branch. Originally I was looking at a product with a longer blade but this one is just fine for my purposes and very manageable. I would recommend it to anyone with an average yard needing seasonal pruning/trimming of shrubs/bushes.

I bought this so that I, not my husband could do some pruning of shrubs, and it is so easy to use. It's very light and manageable. Definitely recommend, especially if a woman is doing the work.

Doesn't come with a power cord
Have no idea if this is a good or bad product because mine didn't come with a power cord. Hence, I returned it to Amazon for a refund.

great product for small jobs
This trimmer works really well for trimming bushes/hedges. Don't try to trim anything that is thicker than about 1/4 inch- it will just get stuck. Read more

Another good buy from Amazon!
Super product for the price. Worked as promised right out of the box (keep the box for storage). As usual, Amazon's values continue to impress.
