The Makita UH6350 electric hedge trimmer is praised by Popular Mechanics editors as a "nicely designed tool" with excellent cutting action. It is relatively lightweight at 7.9 pounds. It's also less expensive than the Little Wonder electric hedge trimmers, but has many of the same safety features, and can handle branches up to 1/2 of an inch in diameter. Those who don't need quite this much power and want to spend significantly less money may want to consider the Craftsman 79957 (*Est. $60).
We found the most credible review of the Makita UH6350 in Popular Mechanics. GaltTech.com also reviews this model, but it is not clear that the reviewer actually tested it. A few reviewers at Amazon.com provide an owner's perspective.
