5.0 out of 5 stars I've been pleased, January 6, 2008

By	M. Brooks "raleigh1208" (Raleigh, NC United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've been very pleased with this shrubber. I was skeptical after reading the reviews but after a few days I can truly say I've been pleased. My shrubs had become very overgrown, but this shrubber did the trick on them and cut them down to size in no time at all, even larger branches. I was expecting the battery charge to last me only a few bushes at a time, but it keeps going and going!! Yesterday I worked on a dozen shrubs for an hour and a half until I was tired out and the shrubber still had a little charge left! So I'm sold on this little dynamo!

3.0 out of 5 stars Slow, March 8, 2007

By	M. Tawil (Manhattan Beach, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Seems nicely made and is easy to handle. However it's slow cutting speed and low power make it a tool only for cutting new soft growth. Even for that application I see it useful only for small jobs.

It handles easily and holds a charge for longer than I would want to use it. The small size is an asset. It would be a good addition to a tool set that included a powerful, full size trimmer.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not very powerful, June 29, 2008

By	Bart Smit (Elmhurst, IL United States) - See all my reviews

I purchased this tool because I have quite a few small boxwoods that I need to trim. I thought a small shrubber like this would be great, especially since it is cordless. However, the slow cutting speed makes it inadequate for the job, and the battery makes it quite heavy, not ideal when you have more than a few shrubs to trim. I am using my manual hedge shears again.
Only buy this for very light work.
