TOO HEAVY!, September 17, 2009
I am a 47 year old woman (in decent shape) and I find this trimmer extremely difficult to use. It is too heavy! It will cost you an arm and a leg to purchase it and then it will cost you an arm to use it (my arm fell off after 15 minutes of use--hee, hee).
A little uneasy, August 17, 2009
I've used it once. It got extremely hot on the flat bottom surface of the motor section. It didn't fail? But I am a little uneasy about the whole heat thing on an electric motor. It did cut well though.
Solid hedge trimmer, July 1, 2009
Well constructed trimmer and perfect size. It is a little heavy if you plan on hours of trimming, but hey it is a solid well-built machine. Cuts quickly and accurately. The dead man switch is no problem in my opinion - I got used to this safety feature after about 2 minutes. I would recommend this trimmer.
Great Trimmer, August 18, 2008
This is a great product. I've read reviews that complained about the dual safety handles. Not a problem. These "dead man" switches span the entire length of the handle of which they are a part. Very easy to use. I only wish they had a 30" model!
Worth the money, August 23, 2007

I have used this trimmer about 4 times now. Twice to do some major trimming of bamboo. My last trimmer, a Black & Decker model, did not have the power to cut bamboo. The Makita is not only a lot more… powerful but it is much quieter too. It is also heavier but I don't really notice the extra weight when I am actully using it. Overall, I am quite happy with this trimmer and would not hesitate to recommend it.
