Black & Decker HH2455

Electric hedge trimmer

Pros
  • Long blade
  • Lightweight
  • Features lock-on and lock-off switch
Cons
  • Doesn't cut hard wood cleanly
  • Must be used within 100 feet of electrical outlet

The Black & Decker HH2450 receives the most recommendations among electric models in online reviews. It has now been replaced by the HH2455, which is identical except that the rear handle rotates 180 degrees and can be locked into one of five positions. At just over six pounds, the HH2455 is relatively lightweight, and the lock-on switch makes it easier to tackle large trimming jobs. Owners praise its wide cut path and say it is capable of cutting through 3/4-inch-thick branches. This Black & Decker is covered by a two-year warranty. If you want the freedom to trim farther than 100 feet from an electrical outlet, reviews recommend the Black & Decker NHT518 (*Est. $80) .

We read an expert review of the Black & Decker HH2450 at ConsumerGuide.com. Both the HH2450 and the HH2455 receive good ratings from owners at Amazon.com, and the HH2450 is recommended at Bestcovery.com, based on online reviews. Users posting comments at GardenWeb.com have mixed opinions.
