I am on my third Remington Hedge Wizard. All of them have either fell apart after one use or the internal cam mechanism skips when anything bigger than a pencil is cut. The idea is a good one but the design is horrendous. Whoever designed this thing should be fired today! I called the manufacturer and they were very sympathetic and promised me a "good one". The guy on the phone was extremely nice and helpfull even though I was upset. Good service from that standpoint but I do not think that good service can fix the design screw ups. The plastic housing is weak, the pivot stop is weak, the handle is not ergonomically friendly. It is also clunky. One of my units got hot and started smoking after a few minutes. I opened up the blade cover and saw that the plastic had melted.

I should have listened to the other reviews. This is a good idea but it's not tough enough for a large shrub. This trimmer is intended to be used on large shrubs but the first time it caught on a large branch the blade jumped off the cam. I opened the case and took off the cam cover as the manual describes for changing the blades. Unfortunately the self-securing bolts don't self secure and I could not get the nuts back on tightly. After that, the unit wouldn't cut well at all. It seems that these parts are designed to be replaced once they are removed. It's not a good design if you have to replace the blades every time it catches on a large branch.

This would have been a ZERO star if available. I bought this at Home Depot and it broke after 1 day. I even bought the additional one year replacement warranty. I was only trimming light bushes. Returned the unit the next day for a full refund. I'm going back to my Black and Decker Hedgehog. That thing cuts through almost anything and is very well built.

Poorly constructed
The idea for this product is very good, but the construction was very poor. The telescoping handle would not lock in place. This makes the product very difficult to work with.
