About Makita XHU02Z 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 22" Hedge Trimmer
Overall Feedback:
97% positive
96% appreciated the long battery life
The batteries have a long lifespan and are awesome, which is useful and long enough.
I used a 5amp battery for over an hour and all 4 bars were still lit, indicating good battery life.
97% liked the sharp and durable blades, yet 3% found them dull quickly
I suspect that the blades are made of softer metal, which results in sharp edges.
I find the blade quality to be inexpensively designed and made, not ultimate.
I used the blades only once and noticed that they were dull and peened over, indicating poor blade quality.
96% praised its sturdy construction, yet 4% felt it was flimsy
The power is great and the blades are sharp. Cutting branches up to 3/4 inch is easy. I am satisfied with the build quality of the product.
I find that the blade quality is not ultimate and it is inexpensively designed and made.
I used the trimmer once and noticed that the blades were dull and peened over, indicating poor build quality.
I find that the hedge trimmer works well for cutting, but the safety features make it difficult to use, so I am giving it only 3 stars.
97% liked excellent cutting performance, but 3% found it struggled with thicker branches.
I was able to trim all the hedges in an hour with the trimmer, which cut through different types of hedges with power to spare. It made me feel like I had slaved all day. I might have to trim the neighbors' hedges as well. My experience with the trimmer was very positive.
The power hedge trimmer is manageable despite being a little heavy and can cut fast with amazing battery life. It can handle pencil-sized branches.
I find it frustrating that the trimmer cannot cut through anything thicker than 1/4 in diameter, especially for larger shrubs with thicker branches.
97% liked its user-friendly design, while 3% found it cumbersome
I found this trimmer easy to maneuver and light weight, and the battery lasted for ninety minutes of trimming.
The trimmer is slightly heavier than I hoped for, which makes my arms fatigued pretty quickly.
Despite its good cutting performance, the hedge trimmer is difficult to use due to its safety features.
97% liked the low noise level, while 3% found it too loud
After trimming one hedge, I noticed that several blade edges were rolled over, peened and making a clicking noise.
95% appreciated its portability, though 5% found it heavy
The trimmer is much lighter than what I'm used to, so I need to be cautious while swinging it to avoid any accidents.
The safety feature of the power-hedge-trimmer requires 2 hands at all times, making it impossible to operate with one hand. This makes it difficult to carry or maneuver with one hand.
95% appreciated the safety features, but 5% found them lacking
I would like to use the trimmer with one hand, but the safety features prevent me. However, I think it's a good thing.
I did not face any issues with the multiple safeties on the tool, which are similar to those on a chain saw.
The safety features of the trimmer make it tedious to use as three things need to be activated at once before it starts.
The only drawback of this trimmer is its light weight, which could cause injury if not used with caution.
