Rephrased:
After 2 hours of steady work, the battery was only 50% depleted, showing 2/4 bars on the handy battery indicator.
The battery lasted for about 30 minutes, which was just enough time for me to complete the task.
The battery life is good and it indicates the remaining battery, which shows my positive sentiment towards it.
76% praised the high-quality chain and bar, though 24% experienced issues
I find the hedge trimmer head heavy and have to constantly strain to hold it up when reaching horizontally.
The 8-inch chainsaw bar on my relatively light engine makes it buck quite a bit and makes controlled undercuts well nigh impossible.
83% praised the efficient cutting performance, while 17% struggled
I can cut up to 6" tree limbs with the power-pole-saw.
I find the saw to be small, powerful, and great for reaching higher branches and tall objects.
The power polesaw cuts through branches quickly and effortlessly when positioned properly, especially compared to my previous manual polesaw.
The hedge trimmer head is heavy and difficult to hold up when reaching horizontally.

81% liked the extended reach, but 19% found it unstable
If all the extensions are added to the pole saw, it becomes a bit unwieldy, but it is useful to reach hard-to-reach limbs.
The extender needs to be fitted perfectly into the slot, but with practice, it will get easier to use.
When I use the device at full extension, especially while hedging, it feels like marlin fishing because the weight of the engines and blades are at the end of a 9-10 foot pole.
74% liked the easy maintenance, but 26% encountered problems
I find it useful that the power pole saw tells me how much battery is left for maintenance.
I had an issue with the pole saw attachment which customer service quickly replaced. It has been great to use since, although it could probably use sharpening which I haven't done yet.
I frequently experience blade jams from small wood chips, which stalls the motor and adds to my physical workload.
The polesaw leaks oil all over the storage closet, even when it is almost empty.

83% found it easy to maneuver, but 17% didn't
I find the chainsaw easy to maneuver and quick and effective, and it's not too loud.
At full extension, maneuvering power-pole-saws feels like marlin fishing due to the weight of the engines and blades at the end of a 9-10 foot pole.
It took me around 5-8 hours to clean up the hedge along the driveway with my handheld hedge shears and multiple ladder maneuvering.
The power pole saw is too unwieldy to do the work for more than a few minutes due to its weight and length.
75% appreciated the powerful motor, though 25% experienced issues
For trimming a few times a year, the trimmer is sufficient. However, if I need to trim more frequently than every two months, I would recommend something with more power and battery range.
67% praised the safety features, although 33% faced issues
The 8-inch chainsaw bar on our relatively light engine makes it buck quite a bit and makes controlled undercuts well nigh impossible.
79% appreciated the silent operation
Power-pole-saws are much quieter than gas machines and there is very little offensive noise for those in the house while I am doing chores. There is almost no transmitted vibration while either attachment is running.
72% were satisfied with the reduced vibration, but 28% weren't
I have complained that the hedger attachment frequently gets nicks on the blades, causing it to jam while trimming larger branches. This is likely due to the soft metal used for the blades.
