AS A LANDSCAPER I OWN 2 OF THESE AND WE USE THEM HARD. IT IS NOT A COMMERCIAL TRIMMER, BUT ITS AS CLOSE AS YOU CAN GET. FOR THE MONEY YOU CANT FIND ANOTHER TRIMMER LIKE THIS ONE. I GOT MY LAST ONE THROUH AMAZON, ON SALE FOR 120 DOLLARS AND SHOULD HAVE PURCHASED MORE OF THEM AT THAT TIME. BY THE WAY THIS IS THE SAME TRIMMER AS THE POULAN 22 INCH, 25CC...FOR ABOUT 30-50 DOLLARS LESS. BOTH ARE MADE AND OWNED BY THE SAME COMPANY.

I should have bought a gas hedge trimmer years ago! A great tool. So far no problems with this unit, except for some design problems. The most annoying is the choke lever, which sticks out and always gets pulled into the choke position by the hedges or trees and kills the engine. Also, the construction is almost all plastic, and I'm very apprehensive about longevity. I saw the the Troy-Bilt after buying the Weed Eater, and it looks like a much beefier unit, bigger blade, with a lot of metal and better thought-out controls, and for only about $20 more.

With the gas hedger, I didn't had to deal with electric cord. It's important to follow the direction when cranking. The hedger does gets heavy after a while, I have a lot of bushes around my house. Earplugs are a must, it gets loud. Had it for 4 months, so far no problems.

I found the other reviews to be fairly accurate, this trimmer is not for commercial use. It works above and beyond my Black & Decker electric trimmer, and no long elec. cord to drag n cut. The choke lever issue (bumping it on) is easily fixed with trimming it shorter. (it's plastic). For an Economical cordless trimmer, the Weed Eater GHT225 works for the jobs I need done at home.

I am a residential owner and only used this for personal home use, not commercial use. I had owned a weed eater before - had worked fine. I bought another one. It was used about 6-7 times, light use. Then it tore itself up and completely broke free from the motor mounts - completely useless. I wrote to the company to see if they would back up the warranty (they don't offer online email so I used snail mail). That was three months ago and I have heard nothing back. They do not back their products and the product is a complete and total waste of money. Don't buy this, invest a little more and get a better unit from a better manufacturer. I wish I had done that the first time. DON'T BUY THIS!!!!!!! IT IS WORTHLESS!!!!!

This product is easy start it works well stainless steel blade I lube it with wd 40 while using the machine a Little lite in power for the price its a bargain it does get the job done and works very well

For the price, this is a great hedge trimmer. It has a Stainless Steel blade, and it is easy to start and use. I had some doubts on my first start, but after giving it about 30 seconds to warm up, it worked fine.

I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY HUSBAND AND HE JUST LOVES IT...IT WORKS GREAT AND THE COST WAS NOT TO EXPENSIVE.

I have had several electric hedge trimmers in the past but this gas model is by far the most convenient.. No messy extention cords to tangle with. Overall very satisfied.

Weedeater Gas Hedge Clipper. Weed Eater GHT225 22-Inch 25cc 2-Cycle Gas-Powered Hedge Trimmer

The most durable gas hedge clipper on the market for the money! This is my 2nd Weedeater gas hedge clipper in 15 years. Cuts my ficus hedges with very little effort. Easy to start, lightweight to hold and strong enough to cut 1/4 inch diameter branches. My only complaint is the gasoline connecting hoses deteriorate and need replaced after several years of use.
