trimmer November 12, 2008 Kenneth Starnes It cuts very good and is light for me to handle. It has a little trouble cutting limbs larger than a half inch in diameter.
Does ok on smaller bushes September 17, 2008 Techie Guy (Warminster, PA) This works well if you have smaller hedges to trim. Anything more than half an inch thick and this thing completely locks up. It's ok for light duty.
Hedge trimmer a good buy September 7, 2008 Camper Man (Indiana) I am pleased with the quality and the price of the Black & Decker hedge trimmer. I've used it extensively and it works great!
Hedge Trimmner July 13, 2008 Charles Moser (Ukiah, CA) I used the hedge trimmer the first time and it worked wonderfully well. I have a group of bushes that grow fast and produce large offshoots. The trimmer handled them handily, I am looking forward to many years of use. Chas
Great Product June 16, 2008 Teleman 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Very happy with the 17" B&D hedge trimmer. Did a little research and found it was highly recommended by Consumers Reports magazine. Had an older version for 15+ years, and it finally gave out. Don't consider a heavy machine unless you're a body builder! After many hours of trimming you'll be glad you chose this size. Longer blade and heavy weight don't help. I have been using this trimmer for about a month now and love it.
