4.0 out of 5 stars
good hedge trimmer, July 2, 2003
This review is from: Toro 51596 18" 14.4 Volt Hedge Trimmer (Lawn & Patio)
I find the trimmer very well balanced and there is a minimium of vibration. The trimmer may not have the power of a corded version but not having to deal with a cord is well worth any small loss of power. It works well and has enough power for what I use it for. The charger also serves as a hanger for the unit. My only complaint is with the battery/charger. According to the owners manual, leaving the trimmer on the charger while it is plugged in over 24 hours may damage the battery. Toro recommends plugging the charger in a minimium of 3 hours before use. Otherwise the trimmer can hanger on the charger as long as the charger is unplugged. Maybe not a big deal if you remember to plug it in before you start your lawn care duties. It would be nice to plug in the charger, hang the trimmer on it and use it at will without some planning ahead of time.
In summary, it is a quality trimmer at a good price with a minor irratation.
