Great service our business in gardening has been going over 35 years and this business wins hands down for service. My masport broke a clutch cable and normally you have to wait weeks. these guys had it in stock and have a huge range of spares. What was a big surprise it was only 25 bucks for the part.

I visited this store recently with the small aim of finding a lawnmower to mow my small backyard. I was not too fussy and did not expect much.However the service I got from Ben Smith (aged 17) was absolutely phenomenal. He even mowed my lawn for me and made me dinner.give him a raise.

Really great customer service at this shop. The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. I purchased a lawn mower here and Ryan was able to set it up, ready to go on pickup.He set up the warranty and I couldn’t have asked for better customer service. Thank you !

Visited on the weekend. Friendly service and professional advice from Ashley. Recommend a visit for all your mowing needs.

Very fast delivery to Queensland on the Key Start Honda powered Chipper, this machine is excellent, perfect for my large acreage block

Michael @ Kingston Mowers was very helpful knowledgeable with a STIHL pressure washer that I bought there.

Brilliant customer service. I am a first time customer and Bought a STIHL FS70r, the team got it all ready, filled it with fuel and showed me how to change the spool and operate the equipment. Thank you.

Absolutely Brilliant Customer Service! I was after some Husqvarna parts, got what I wanted and a great deal too.Thanks Rocky, you are a Star.

Ordered a Pro100 chipper, an absolute beast chips wet branches on a melaleuca tree up to 100mm no problem at all, what use to take me a full day with the old electric chipper took less than an hour with this. Order was sent to local TNT depot, bit of an effort to get it out the trailer at home 234kg but got there in the end. Service from Kingston mowers for ordering and customer service was A.

If you are looking for a suitable Mower, tools or machinery for your outdoor maintenance, this is your go to place. Please do definitely ask for Nick who’s Mr. Know it all. He’s really courteous and always has a smile on his face. If it’s your first time picking up your equipments this is your place!!

I researched and found that Masport have supply problems and can only supply a 190cc engine to its dealers and instead only have a 161cc engine yet for for the same money!Thanks to my research I found B.W. Machinery whom have the Masport with the 190cc engine, under AL191 part number, and the several dealings I experienced with Ryan who answered all my concerns and confirmed things such as identical engine and nationwide warranty for me not only verbally, but in writing.I ordered on Saturday, and I received the unit on Tuesday! Super fast delivery although its around 7-10 days normally.Took the machine out of the box, filled with oil and petrol, put catcher together and what a beast this AL191 is! It roars. I can’t wait to take it on a run in my yard when grass is due.After so much stress with originally getting a machine with the inferior motor from a Sydney dealer, then taking it back next day, then finding B.W. Machinery where Ryan took all the stress away. He was nothing short of exemplary in his service to me.I ran a national company for 24 years and I want to say how fantastic their service is and consider anyone to give this great business a try and see for yourselves, to witness their service, quality and extremely competitive prices.I very much look forward to recommending to my friends and look forward to dealing with you again.

This place has the cheapest Honda and STIHL equipment in the Melbourne surrounds.The owner is knowledgeable and extremely helpful when picking machinery for the job that needs doing.Servicing of machinery is prompt, well priced and of good quality.While I still keep my eye out on other places, I always come back here for the reasonable prices, knowledge and quality of service.If you’re in the maintenance industry, I honestly don’t know why you’d go anywhere else.

The 8 Best Cordless Hedge Trimmers of 2023 for Tidy Landscaping

We chose the Ryobi One 22-Inch Cordless Hedge Trimmer as our favorite overall pick because of its lightweight design and powerful operation.

Kaitlyn McInnis is an experienced lifestyle writer and online shopping enthusiast with a decade’s worth of experience in digital journalism and lifestyle e-commerce.

In This Article

There’s a lot of backbreaking work that goes into yard maintenance, especially if you’re determined to take care of your landscaping and upkeep yourself. Smart homeowners know that easy outdoor upkeep really comes down to the tools and gear you invest in—and a good cordless hedge trimmer is one of those stand-out items to keep in your gardening arsenal for quick and easy maintenance.

The best cordless hedge trimmers provide a huge number of benefits over their corded counterparts—you don’t have to worry about finding an outlet, there’s no risk of tripping over the tailing cord around you as you work, and they tend to be more lightweight and easy to carry than other models.

We know the importance of quality and long-lasting landscaping tools, and we scoured the internet to find the best cordless hedge trimmers that are worth the investment.

Best Overall

RYOBI 22-Inch 18V Cordless Hedge Trimmer

The best cordless hedge trimmer for you depends on a lot of factors, but the most versatile and reliable model on our list is the Ryobi One 22-Inch 18V Cordless Hedge Trimmer. The compact but powerful gardening tool features a 3,000 strokes per minute (SPM) blade speed and double-sided blade which makes cutting as quick and efficient as possible.

At 33 inches long, it’s easy to be precise when using this tool, and it’s only 7 pounds, so your arms won’t tire quickly when holding it for long periods of time. We love that the handle rotates, allowing you to effortlessly trim at all angles. To keep the blade clean as you work, the HedgeSweep debris remover wipes off clippings in real time.

This small but mighty hedge trimmer comes with one 18-volt battery that lasts up to 35 minutes on a single charge—less than some professional-grade models on the market. However, this should be plenty of time for anyone with a small- to medium-sized yard. If you want to use your hedge trimmer for a longer period of time, we recommend buying an additional battery to swap out halfway through.

Best Budget

Vivosun 20-Inch Cordless Hedge Trimmer

You really don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars just to get a functional and durable hedge trimmer to help expedite your at-home landscaping and gardening projects. Look at the Vivosun 20-Inch Cordless Hedge Trimmer, for example. This budget-friendly cordless hedge trimmer comes in comfortably under a hundred dollars, but it doesn’t skimp on quality and efficiency. In fact—it’s one of the best options for those looking for a reliable and heavy-hitting hedge trimmer.

The lightweight and long-lasting hedge trimmer features a generous 20-volt power and heavy-duty dual-action blade that’ll easily cut through even the most unwieldy shrubs and trees). It features no-load speeds up to 1400 rpm, which is more than enough for most working conditions.

This option also features a ​comfortable ergonomic D-grip handle that won’t cause hand cramping or slippage while in use. It’s also designed to work on either side, which allows for easy use by both left-handed and right-handed DIY landscapers. We like that this option has a rechargeable battery as well—but it’ll only function for about thirty minutes between charges, so you might want to invest in a backup battery if you have big jobs to deal with.

Keep in mind that the 20-inch blade is slightly smaller than other options on our list of the best cordless hedge trimmers. While this makes it a little easier to maneuver, you may find that it’s too small to be efficient on large landscaping projects.

Best Splurge

Makita LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Hedge Trimmer Kit

The Makita LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Hedge Trimmer Kit might cost a pretty penny—but if you’re looking to spend a little more in order to ensure you’re getting all the best bells and whistles, it’s well worth the extra cost. The high-end cordless hedge trimmer features a powerful 1,800 SPM speed that’ll cut through pretty much any shrubbery without putting up a fight. It’s also quite quiet compared to other hedge trimmers on our list, which makes it a very appealing option if you don’t want to disrupt your neighbors when landscaping.

It features a five-position rotating rear handle which helps ensure increased comfort during both vertical and angle trimming. The two-handed operation also means that this option will only be activated when both the trigger and front handle are engaged, making it a safer option to use.

This option comes with a six-speed dial that ranges from 0 to 1,800 SPM to best suit your specific project at hand as well as star protection computer controls that were designed to protect against overload and over-discharge as well as overheating.

At 13.3 pounds, this splurge-worthy cordless hedge trimmer is the heaviest on our list. You may notice that your arms get fatigued more quickly with this tool than with other options, so keep this factor in mind especially if you plan to hold it for long periods of time.

Best Electric

Mytol 24-Inch Electric Hedge Trimmer

There are major benefits to opting for a cordless electric hedge trimmer over a gas-powered hedge trimmer or even a corded counterpart. Electric hedge trimmers tend to be much more lightweight and nimble compared to other options—and they’re also going to cost a whole lot less in maintenance and upkeep, since you won’t have to purchase gas to fill them up.

The Mytol 24-Inch Electric Hedge Trimmer is a particularly good option for those looking to make the switch from gas to electric without a hitch. It comes with a rechargeable battery that can fully charge in less than fifty minutes (though the manufacturer doesn’t disclose how long the battery lasts for), which makes it great for tackling bigger projects.

This option is also relatively budget-friendly without skimping on features to make backyard maintenance as easy and efficient as possible. It also includes convenient double-sided blades that simultaneously cut in two directions for added efficiency. The wide 24-inch blade makes it easy to tackle large projects without snagging or getting stuck during the process.

The ultra-lightweight hedge trimmer weighs just 5.5 pounds, which is great for wrangling into small or hard-to-reach places. However, if you’re accustomed to using a gas-powered hedge trimmer, you might have to adjust to how lightweight this device is.

Best Lightweight

Black Decker 40V Max Cordless Hedge Trimmer

Investing in a cordless hedge trimmer pretty much guarantees a streamlined and simplified way to landscape and maintain your yard. That being said, hedge trimmers—especially gas-powered hedge trimmers tend to be quite heavy and can be rather difficult to comfortably use. The Black Decker 40V Max Cordless Hedge Trimmer offers a happy compromise between lightweight design and heavy-duty functionality. It weighs in at just under seven pounds while still offering a generous 40-volt power for bigger projects in your yard.

This option is also designed to be as comfortable in hand as possible. It features an ergonomic wrap-around auxiliary handle to make it easier to access hard-to-reach spots around your yard. Its integrated vibration reduction means you’ll be able to work with better precision and for longer periods of time without worrying about your hands getting blisters or cramping up.

It’s time for you to Drive Green!

We also like that this option boasts a 22-inch ​​dual-action blade, which allows you to efficiently trim hedges and branches with better maneuverability. Keep in mind that the battery pack can be tricky to clip into place, so it may take a few minutes to set up your hedge trimmer before getting to work.

Product Details: Weight: 6.9 pounds | Volts: 40 volts | Blade Length: 22 inches | Power: Battery

Best Battery Life

DeWALT 20V MAX Cordless Hedge Trimmer

If you’re looking for a no-nonsense cordless hedge trimmer that isn’t going to die on you halfway through the job or take ages to charge in between uses, you’ll want to consider the DeWALT 20V Max Cordless Hedge Trimmer. This standout trimmer was designed to run for more than an hour with a single battery, but it also works with any DeWALT brand battery. This means you can easily stock up on multiple batteries and always have a backup pack ready to go, extending your device’s life for several hours.

The razor-sharp workhorse is also incredibly rough and durable; it features a laser-cut, hooked-tooth blade design that can cut branches up to 3/4 of an inch thick in one go. It’s also made from a well-balanced and sturdy-feeling handle system that feels secure in hand and won’t crack or chip with heavy and regular use.

We also really appreciate that this option, despite its sturdy feel and long-lasting and convenient battery life, is a relatively budget-friendly option. It also includes a generous warranty policy and excellent customer service support which is great if you ever run into issues with your hedge trimmer.

It’s important to note that this tool doesn’t come with a blade cover, which makes it more dangerous to use and store. We recommend purchasing a blade guard separately to ensure no one gets hurt on the sharp edges.

Best Pole

Ryobi Cordless Battery Pole Hedge Trimmer

If you live in a home with tall hedges flanking your property, you probably already know the struggle of keeping said hedges looking neat and tidy. Instead of hiring a professional landscaper to help get the job done, you could invest in a pole hedge trimmer. The Ryobi Cordless Battery Pole Hedge Trimmer is designed to make overhead trimming as simple (and safe) as possible.

It features an extendable 18-inch blade that can reach up to eight feet in height, allowing you to get to those hard-to-reach places without having to deal with wrangling a ladder. The pivoting head also gives you even more control over your cutting—which can be great for ornate hedges that require a little extra precision to get right.

This cordless hedge trimmer also features a speed trigger for simple and efficient cutting control, It also boasts a long-lasting battery and charger—and works with pretty much any Ryobi lithium battery which means you can easily stock up and keep a charged battery on hand for uninterrupted trimming.

However, at 9.7 pounds, this device is a bit heavier than many of the other options on this list. If you don’t want to wield a hefty tool for long periods of time, we recommend shopping one of the more lightweight cordless hedge trimmers.

Price at time of publish: 219

Product Details: Weight: 9.7 pounds | Volts: 40 volts | Blade Length: 18 inches | Power: Battery

Best Gas

Echo 20-Inch 21.2 cc Gas 2-Stroke Hedge Trimmer

While electric cordless hedge trimmers are lightweight, quieter, and less-expensive than other types, They’re not as heavy-duty or powerful as their gas-powered counterpart. They also require rechargeable battery management which can be a pain—especially when you’ve accidentally run out of battery juice halfway through a job.

If you’re set on a cordless hedge trimmer that’s gas-powered rather than battery-powered, you’ll want to consider the Echo Gas 2-Stroke Hedge Trimmer. This powerful hedge trimmer is designed for use around the backyard, but it could easily work in a professional or commercial setting as well. It features a double-sided and double-reciprocating razor edge blade which cuts through shrubs, branches, and brush in very little time. It also boasts ergonomic handles that help make precision cutting as easy and pain-free as possible.

The Echo Gas 2-Stroke Hedge Trimmer also comes complete with a covetable commercial-grade felt air filter, which helps improve engine life and filtration efficiency. A convenient grease fitting allows for regular maintenance to help extend this trimmer’s overall lifespan as well.

If noise is a concern for you when considering the best cordless hedge trimmers, we recommend shopping one of the electric models on our list instead of this one. Gas-powered hedge trimmers—including the Echo Gas Two-Stroke model—can be quite loud, which may bother you or your neighbors.

Price at time of publish: 349

Product Details: Weight: 11.5 pounds | Volts: Not listed | Blade Length: 20-45.5 inches | Power: Gas

The Bottom Line

Overall, the best cordless hedge trimmer is the high-performance Ryobi One 22-Inch 18-Volt Cordless Hedge Trimmer. This device is compact but powerful; it’s easy to use, and lightweight, with a dual-action blade that allows you to work efficiently without getting tired.

What to Know About Cordless Hedge Trimmers Before Shopping

Weight

According to Toby Schulz, CEO of Lawn.com, the weight of each hedge trimmer can vary greatly—and it isn’t something you should overlook. You’ll likely be using the hedge trimmer for long periods of time, so make sure you get one that isn’t too heavy for you. Our list of the best cordless hedge trimmers includes options ranging from 5.5 pounds to 13 pounds, so you’ll have plenty of options to meet your landscaping needs.

Power and Voltage

“When buying a cordless hedge trimmer, one thing to look for is battery life and power,” says Jeremy Yamaguchi, CEO of Lawn Love. “The battery life will determine how long the trimmer can run on a single charge, and the power will determine how well the trimmer can cut through thick branches.”

Ideally, you should look for a trimmer with a high-capacity lithium-ion battery that can run for at least 30 minutes on a single charge. This will give you enough time to trim and prune your hedge without having to stop and recharge the battery. Also, the power of the trimmer is measured in volts (V); the higher the voltage the more power the trimmer has. A trimmer with at least 20 to 24 volts should be able to handle most trimming tasks around the garden.

Blade Length

Be sure to pay attention to the blade length of the trimmer you’re considering. Longer blades are more efficient but also slightly more unwieldy and can be difficult to use if you’re inexperienced. Check the size of your hedges beforehand so you can select the optimal length for the blade.

Blade Material

“You’ll also want to check the blade material to ensure it’s durable (think stainless steel or high-carbon steel),” Schulz says. “The blade will be operating at high speeds while cutting through the foliage and you don’t want a material that breaks easily.”

Your Questions, Answered

What should I look for when buying a cordless hedge trimmer?

There are a handful of factors you’ll want to keep in mind when shopping for the best cordless hedge trimmer. According to Schulz, when choosing a hedge trimmer, the most important factors include size and hedge type (smaller or less dense hedges won’t need as powerful a trimmer as large and dense ones), and features such as interchangeable batteries, rotating heads, and safety triggers.

You’ll also want to consider how comfortable the handles are since you’ll be holding it for long periods of time, and how easy to use the device is.

What is the best voltage for a cordless hedge trimmer?

“The average voltage for a cordless hedge trimmer is 40 volts, but the ideal voltage is anywhere between 20V and 80V,” Schulz says. “It really depends on how much power you need for your particular landscaping project.”

Dense bushes or thick branches will require a more powerful hedge trimmer than thin brush. Consider the type of hedges you’ll most frequently be manicuring to determine the correct voltage for your hedge trimmer.

Is a gas or electric cordless hedge trimmer better?

Choosing between a gas or electric hedge trimmer will depend on several things—especially your budget and the power you need. “Gas cordless hedge trimmers are more powerful and durable, but they’ll cost more upfront and they’re more difficult to maintain,” Schulz says. “You’ll also need to consistently purchase gas to keep it going. Meanwhile, electric hedge trimmers are still powerful (but less so) and are more affordable.”

Cordless hedge trimmers help you keep your yard looking neat and tidy by pruning hedges and shrubs into shape. These power garden tools have dual blades that move back and forth very quickly to evenly cut away excess foliage and twigs.

“Cordless hedge trimmers offer superior convenience, compared to corded or gas-powered hedge trimmers,” notes Noah James, professional landscaper and owner of Liberty Lawn Maintenance. “You can easily prune those hard-to-reach spots such as high hedges or around garden furniture, and the cordless design also makes storage easier, since there are no cords to wrap up or tangle with other corded tools. Plus, cordless trimmers tend to be lighter in weight than their corded counterparts, making them easier to handle and less cumbersome when working on larger projects.”

We evaluated cordless hedge trimmers based on power, battery runtime, effectiveness, extra features, ease of use, and overall value.

Best Overall

DeWALT 22-Inch 20V MAX Lithium-Ion Cordless Hedge Trimmer

• Compact and lightweight design
• Hardened steel blades with hooked teeth
• Long battery run time
• Battery recharges quickly

If you are looking for a robust hedge trimmer that easily cuts through branches up to 3/4-inch in diameter, keeps your hedges looking evenly trimmed, chews through tall ornamental grasses such as fountain grass, and helps you shape and prune all manner of shrubbery, then we recommend the DeWALT 22-Inch Cordless Hedge Trimmer. Our top choice has a 20-volt, 5 amp-hour battery that gives you plenty of power and a long run time. Depending on how you are using the tool, you can get up to an hour or so of battery power before needing to recharge. A battery-life indicator alerts you when the charge is running low. When it’s time to recharge, it only takes around 90 minutes before your battery is ready for action once more.

The 22-inch, hooked-teeth, double-sided blades are made of hardened steel to stay sharp longer, so you can keep cutting without worrying about dull blades. The maximum speed of this trimmer is 2,800 strokes-per-minute (spm), but the speed is not variable. It’s fast enough for power and slow enough for control, however, allowing you to shape your hedge or shrubs to your liking without accidentally removing too much foliage.

At only 7.5 pounds, this is a lightweight hedge trimmer that won’t wear you out before your yard work is complete. It has a comfortable, wraparound handle that dampens some of the tool’s already reasonably minimal vibration and provides a secure grip. One downside, however, is that this DeWALT hedge trimmer does not include a blade sheath to cover the blades when not in use, so you’ll need to take extra care when storing it. The hedge trimmer comes with a battery and charger.

Best Budget

BLACKDECKER 20V MAX 22-Inch Cordless Hedge Trimmer

This BLACKDECKER cordless hedge trimmer combines a reasonable price with quality, making it a double winner. Its 22-inch double-sided blades slice cleanly through branches up to 3/4-inch thick, as well as large hedges and other shrubs. Designed for reduced vibration, the tool has comfortable, textured handles with a large trigger to reduce hand fatigue when your pruning sessions run long. And you’ll be able to work for those long stretches without having to recharge the 20-volt, 1.5-amp-hour battery, as it can trim as much as 3,000 feet of hedge on a single charge. However, it does take quite a while to recharge the battery—as much as four hours for a full charge.

The speed of this hedge trimmer is a maximum of 2,400 spm, which is average for these tools and hits the sweet spot for accuracy and power. At 7.8 pounds, it’s fairly light, and its compact size makes it easy to maneuver around your hedge. The hedge trimmer comes with a battery and charger, but it does not include a blade sheath, so be sure to store the tool where the sharp blades won’t be exposed.

Best for Thick Branches

EGO Power HT2500 25-Inch Cordless Hedge Trimmer

• 40-minute run time per charge
• 1-1/4-inch cutting capacity
• Handle can rotate 360 degrees
• Handle can be set to five different angles

This powerful hedge trimmer from EGO has 25-inch double-sided blades with a 1 1/4-inch cutting capacity, so you can quickly cut through even large branches on mature hedges, thick vines, or overgrown shrubs. The tool runs on a 56-volt, 2.5-amp-hour battery (sold separately) that provides up to 40 minutes of cutting time on a single charge. And with two speed settings—the maximum speed is 3,200 spm—you can go faster when you need more cutting power, and slower when you want to extend battery runtime or you are carrying out more precise cuts.

The handle can be rotated 360 degrees and set at five different angles, so you’ll be able to adjust it to reach awkward spots or carry out tricky cuts. An electric brake-stop cuts the tool’s action off almost immediately for increased safety. And the high-efficiency, brushless motor keeps the power coming until your yard work is done. With a 56-volt battery, the hedge trimmer weighs 12.8 pounds, making it a heavier option than many others listed here, considering that this is a larger tool with a large battery. It’s also somewhat more expensive than many of our other picks, but we think the large cutting size and power are worth the price.

Best Extendable

WORX WG252 2-in-1 Power Share 20-Inch Cordless Hedge Trimmer

For trimming the tallest hedges or the largest shrubs, we recommend this offering from WORX, which comes with a telescoping pole that provides up to 12 feet of additional reach. There’s an on/off switch at the base of the pole, so no need to bring the running tool back down to shut it off. The head can be set at 10 different angles, and the handle rotated up to 180 degrees, so even when you are trying to reach into tight or awkward spots or trim intricate designs, you’ll be able to configure this hedge trimmer just the way you need it. Its slim design makes it easy to maneuver between branches or around trunks. And at only 7.6 pounds, it’s light enough so that you won’t quickly tire out, even when working above your head.

The double blades are 20 inches long and can cut branches up to 5/8-inch thick. That’s not the largest cutting capacity, but it’s sufficient for most branches found in the typical backyard. Its top speed is 1,340 spm. The tool comes with a 20-volt, 2-amp-hour battery, and a charger. It also includes a protective sheath to cover the blades when not in use.

Best Lightweight

WORX WG261 20V Power Share 22-Inch Cordless Hedge Trimmer

It might only weigh 5.5 pounds, but that doesn’t mean this cordless hedge trimmer is a lightweight when it comes to cutting power. The 22-inch double blades slice cleanly through branches up to 3/4-inch thick, leaving your hedges and shrubs looking well groomed. And since the tool is so light, you can easily lift and turn it to reach even the tough spots near the back of your hedge. The comfortable, thick handle makes it easy to keep a grip on the trimmer and helps reduce vibration. The maximum speed of this hedge trimmer is 2,600 spm.

The battery and charger are sold separately, so if you don’t already own a 20-volt WORX battery, you’ll need to purchase those as well. While runtime varies greatly, depending on how you are using the trimmer, you’ll generally get 20 to 60 minutes on one charge. Be aware that unless you have the quick-charge charger, it can take several hours to recharge the battery. The trimmer does come with a protective blade cover, but some buyers complained that it is flimsy.

Best Battery

EGO POWER 56-Volt 24-Inch Dual Cordless Electric Hedge Trimmer

With a 56-volt, 2.5-amp-hour battery that runs up to 60 minutes before it needs to recharge, along with a high-efficiency brushless motor, this cordless hedge trimmer from EGO has plenty of power. And the 24-inch, hardened-steel double blades let you quickly prune and shape even large, mature hedges without much strain or fuss. The trimmer has a maximum cut capacity of 1 inch, which isn’t the highest of our picks, but is certainly enough for most typical backyard hedges and shrubs. You can also use it to slice through overgrown decorative grasses and patches of overgrown weeds.

For extra safety, this hedge trimmer has an electric brake that stops the blades immediately, once you release the trigger. As those blades are moving at 3,000 spm, that’s an impressive feature. The tool weighs just a bit over six pounds, so it’s quite light for easy handling. It comes with a protective blade cover, the battery, and a fast charger that only takes 50 minutes or so to recharge the battery. Note that a handful of buyers have complained that they have received an older-generation battery that doesn’t have quite as long runtime, so check your delivery as soon as you receive it.

Best for Tall Shrubs

RYOBI 18-Inch 40-Volt Cordless Pole Hedge Trimmer

If you have an especially tall hedge or large shrubs, then a regular hedge trimmer might not provide enough reach to prune the tops. And perching on a ladder while working with a bladed tool isn’t always safe. This pole hedge trimmer extends up to 8 feet, making it easy to reach up high. Plus, the head pivots so you can angle it just how you need it for reaching awkward spots or shaping your plants. The tool weighs 7.8 pounds, which is a bit heavy, but it comes with a shoulder strap that helps distribute the weight for more comfort when using the tool in lengthy sessions.

The blades of this trimmer are 18 inches long and double-sided, allowing you to work over long stretches of hedge quickly. The maximum speed is 3,000 spm, but with the variable speed control, you can set it to a slower speed if desired when you need better control, such as when shaping topiary. The tool is powered by a 40-volt battery, which is sold separately, so if you don’t already own a Ryobi battery, you’ll need to purchase one along with its charger. The trimmer has a 5/8-inch cutting capacity, which is not as large as many other hedge trimmers, although it’s sufficient for most small-to-medium hedges and shrubs. It comes with a sheath to cover the blades when not in use.

Best Splurge

Makita GHU02M1 40V MAX 24-Inch Cordless Hedge Trimmer

If you need or want a professional-quality tool that has exceptional power and can run for up to six hours on a single battery charge, then you might want to splurge on this cordless hedge trimmer from Makita, which is loaded with great features. To start, it has three speed settings with a maximum of a whopping 5,000 spm. Should the blades jam, there’s a reverse setting that generally will clear the problem quickly. A tip guard protects the end of the bar from damage. The hedge trimmer is designed to withstand harsh weather, dust, and moisture, and resist overheating or overloading. That means this beast of a hedge trimmer can keep on working without a hiccup, tackling large hedges, overgrown shrubs, too-tall weeds and grasses, and branches up to an impressive 1 3/8 inch in diameter.

At 9.5 pounds with the included 40-volt, 4 amp-hour battery in place, this isn’t the lightest hedge trimmer, but the five-position rotating handle and anti-vibration design help keep you comfortable while you work, and the 24-inch double blades get the job done quickly. Once you do need to recharge the battery, the included fast charger takes only 45 minutes or so before the tool is ready to work some more. All in all, this admittedly expensive hedge trimmer is an impressive tool that might be overkill if you only have a small hedge or a few shrubs, but it is a worthy investment if your yard is circled by big hedges or hefty shrubbery.

Best Compact

Sun Joe HJ604C 2-in-1 Cordless Grass Shear Hedger

Not everyone has a big yard with equally large hedges and shrubs. If you just need to keep a small garden tidy, then the Sun Joe 2-in-1 Cordless Grass Shear Hedger is just the ticket. This compact, lightweight tool easily converts from a hedge trimmer with a steel 6-inch double blade to a grass trimmer with a steel 4-inch shear blade, giving you two tools in one. This versatile option is ideal for grooming small hedges, shaping up shrubs, trimming lawn grasses and weeds, and other general yard-tidying tasks. The cutting capacity is only 1/3 inch and the top speed is 1,250 spm, so this isn’t the right tool for large, woody shrubs or hedges, but it’s enough for the shrubs in a typical small yard.

The trimmer is powered by a 7.2 volt, 1.5 amp-hour battery that is built into the tool, so while it can be recharged when needed, it is not replaceable. The charger is included, and when fully charged, you’ll get up to 40 minutes of work time, depending on how you are using the trimmer. At only 2.5 pounds, this super-lightweight trimmer won’t tire you out, but remember that it’s only for very small shrubbery or grass. Try to cut large branches with it, and you’ll find that the gears give way, or the tool jams.

If you want a powerful hedge trimmer that chews through branches up to 3/4 inch thick, runs for up to an hour before needing to be recharged and has hook-teeth blades that make smooth, quick cuts, then our top recommendation is the DeWALT 22-Inch Cordless Hedge Trimmer. If budget is a concern, then we recommend the BLACKDECKER 22-Inch Cordless Hedge Trimmer, which also has a 3/4-inch cutting capacity, although not as much power as the DeWALT model.

What to Look for in a Cordless Hedge Trimmer

Before buying a cordless hedge trimmer, think about how you’ll use it. Do you have extensive rows of large hedges on your property, or do you only need to trim a small hedge or a few small shrubs? Are you generally cutting thick branches or thin stems? Do you spend only a few minutes pruning, or are you often carefully shaping your hedges for half an hour or more? The answers to these questions will help you narrow down your options to the cordless hedge trimmer that’s just right for your needs.

Blade Length

When it comes to choosing a cordless hedge trimmer, one of the most important considerations is the blade length. There are hedge trimmers with blades less than 12 inches long, and oversize hedge trimmers with blades that stretch over three feet in length, but for the average homeowner who is looking to tidy up the yard, a tool with blades between 18 and 22 inches is just right for tackling hedges, shrubs, and small branches. Our top pick, the DeWALT 22-Inch Cordless Hedge Trimmer, is ideal for most gardens.

If you have a small garden with correspondingly small shrubs, you want to also use the hedge trimmer for clipping weeds or grass, or you mostly will use the tool to keep container plants looking their best, then a cordless hedge trimmer with blades shorter than 18 inches is sufficient. The Sun Joe Cordless Grass Shrubbery Shear has a 6-inch hedging blade and combines the functions of a hedge trimmer and grass shear in one versatile tool.

Once you go much beyond 24-inch blades, you are generally entering the realm of heavy-duty tools used by professional landscapers, arborists, and gardeners who often need to prune seriously overgrown shrubbery with thick, woody branches. Unless you have a large property with many large shrubs or an extensive hedge, you probably won’t need a trimmer that’s more than 25 inches long. The longer the blade, the more awkward it can be to wield the tool easily.

Cutting Capacity and Strokes Per Minute

There are two numbers you’ll want to consider when choosing your battery-powered hedge trimmer: cutting capacity and strokes per minute (spm).

Cutting capacity refers to the thickness of the branches the trimmer is capable of handling. Most battery hedge trimmers have cutting capacities of 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch, but powerful models often have cutting capacities of 1 inch or more. The EGO Power 2500 25-Inch Cordless Hedge Trimmer has an impressive cutting capacity of 1 1/4 inches.

Strokes-per-minute is a rating of the speed at which the tool’s blades saw back and forth. Generally, most cordless hedge trimmers for home use have an spm of 2,000 to 3,000. Noah James, professional landscaper and owner of Liberty Lawn Maintenance notes, “Cordless models sometimes come with adjustable speed settings so you can choose the right speed for different jobs. This allows you to work efficiently while still keeping your hedges looking neat and trimmed.” The Makita 24-Inch Cordless Hedge Trimmer has three speed settings.

Weight

Because you’ll be holding your hedge trimmer without support for the entire time you are using it, a heavy tool can really wear out your arms. Luckily, most cordless hedge trimmers aren’t too heavy; as a general rule, their weights run between 5 pounds and 10 pounds, with heavy-duty, longer-bladed models being at the top of that range. The WORX 20-Volt Power Share 22-Inch Hedge Trimmer weighs a mere 5.5 pounds, making it one of the lightest full-size options.

Noah James notes, “Lighter hedge trimmers tend to be easier on your hands over extended periods of use than heavier ones do, while adjustable handles allow you to customize your grip for maximum comfort during use. Look for features such as soft grips and vibration-dampening technology which further reduce fatigue during use.”

Battery Power and Run Time

Most of today’s cordless hedge trimmers geared toward the average homeowner run off 20-volt batteries, although 40-volt options are also popular. Professional or heavy-duty tools might use batteries as powerful as 80 volts. While it’s easy to assume that a higher battery power is automatically better, it’s important to remember that generally, the more powerful the battery, the heavier it is, which can become a major factor during long sessions of yard work. Generally, if you just have a few shrubs or an average hedge to trim, a tool with a 20-volt battery is more than sufficient to get the job done.

According to Noah James, one of the most important considerations in a cordless hedge trimmer is the battery run time, which is the length of time the tool can run on one charge. It’s a number that can be difficult to pin down, as run time varies greatly depending on how you are using the tool. For example, the run time will be longer if you are cutting through softer foliage and very thin twigs than if you are muscling through thicker branches. As a general rule, most manufacturers of battery-powered hedge trimmers claim that their tools can run for 20 minutes up to an hour or so before needing a recharge. If you expect to often need longer than that to complete your yard work, it’s helpful to buy an extra battery so you can have one charging while the other is in use.

In general, if you are making a transition from gas to battery-powered equipment, make sure the brand you choose has all the equipment and tools you would like to switch over to and that can be compatible with other pieces you may want in the future. It is much more cost-effective to purchase battery-powered tools if you do not need to buy new batteries and chargers with every new piece of equipment.

As their name suggests, hedge trimmers are typically used to cut hedges and bushes, quickly slicing away unruly branches and restoring them to a neat, clean shape. They can also be used for clearing overgrown grass and weeds, as well as managing small vines, but you’ll always want to keep your trimmer’s cut capacity in mind. To cut through thick branches, it’s safer and more efficient to use a chainsaw.

There are two basic styles of hedge trimmer bars: those with teeth on only one side, and those with teeth on both sides of the bar. Most battery hedge trimmers are double-sided, but you can find a few models with a single-sided bar. Neither style is necessarily better; the right choice depends on your needs and how you’ll use the tool. Double-sided trimmers let you prune with sweeping, back-and-forth movements over your hedge. That makes it easier to create precise shapes or neatly flatten the top of an unruly hedge. Double-sided trimmers are especially good for left-handed people. On the downside, because the blades are on both sides of the bar, it’s easier to injure yourself if you aren’t paying attention while you’re working. Single-sided trimmers, which are most often used by professional landscapers, have blades on just one side of the bar. That gives the tool a little more power, which is helpful when tackling thicker shrubs or small branches. These trimmers are also a little bit better when you have a long, flat surface of hedge to trim. However, as a general rule, single-sided hedge trimmers are not as versatile as double-sided ones.

Like any bladed tool, a hedge trimmer can cause injury if not used correctly. Always remain alert while using your hedge trimmer, and dress in fitted clothing that isn’t loose enough to become caught in the blades. Wear heavy work gloves and eye protection whenever you are using your hedge trimmer. Today’s cordless hedge trimmers generally have several standard safety features worked into their design. Look for a tool with a front handle guard to prevent your hand from sliding forward, a blade brake that immediately stops the tool when you release the trigger, and a safety switch that must be pressed down before the trigger is squeezed to start up the trimmer. Hedge trimmers with padded handles and vibration-damping mechanisms are also important features, as they can cut down on hand and arm fatigue.

• Blades shorter than 18 inches are good for small hedges and shrubs.
• Blades that are between 18 and 24 inches are the sweet spot for most homeowners with average to large yards that have many established shrubs. These hedge trimmers are ideal for large hedges, big shrubs, and even small branches.
• Blades longer than 25 inches are ideal for large hedges, overgrown shrubs, and small branches.
• The longest hedge trimmers, which can be over 30 inches, are best left to professional landscapers and gardeners.
