 I've been pleased Jan 06, 2008
By M. Brooks
"raleigh1208"
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!

 Not very powerful Jun 29, 2008
By Sander
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.

 Slow Mar 09, 2007
By M. Tawil
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.

Exactly what I was looking for. Sep 07, 2007
By D. Pleasant
"Girl-lee Bookworm"
This shrubber is perfect for me. I didn't need anything too heavy duty and wasn't planning on cutting inch thick limbs or anything, so this is perfect. Lightweight and easy for me to manage. Would highly recommend to other ladies (or gentlemen) doing light shrub trimming.

The BEST light-duty tool! Jul 05, 2008
By Randi Farwell
Years ago I owned one of these trimmers(& loved it), but the new models are a lot lighter. I'm a woman in my mid-50's & wanted something light & cordless. I can whip through a bush using only one hand. I wanted something that would do light trimming & would be quick & hassle free. This is it! No cord to mess with. Now, you lose something in these smaller, lighter trimmers. And that's a lot of power. It's NOT for heavy duty trimming. It is great for boxwoods & I even trim my forsythia bushes with it (although some of the branches are too thick for the trimmer to cut through). I've also used it on my rose bushes & it does a great job. For light trimming, I would definitely recommend this trimmer.
