The Ryobi Hedge Trimmer Review
The ryobi hedge trimmer is a good product from a week respected company. Ryobi is known for delivering durably,
reliable, and dependable products. The hedge trimmers are no exception to this. People who have purchased
these trimmers have been quite happy with them and used them for many years with excellent results. There are
different models available to fit different needs as well.
When you begin shopping for a new hedge trimmer it is important to know exactly what you are planning to use it
for. What is the depth of the hedges you will be trimming? How far are they from your house? How long are they?
These are all important questions to answer before buying. This will help you to purchase the trimmers that work
best for your needs.
Ryobi offers both a cordless trimmer and a gas trimmer. There are difference between these two options that you
should be aware of before buying. They vary in power source and in weight. It is important to consider this when
making your choice. Both are reliable and will get the job done, but one may better fits your hedge trimming needs than the other.
The cordless trimmer runs on a rechargeable eighteen volt lithium ion battery. This battery has a fairly long life and can do a considerable amount of trimming
before needing to be recharged. People like the batter option because they do not have to worry about buying gas and storing it for the trimmer. Batteries are
viewed as more convenient to many people.
The battery model also tends to be a little more light weight than the gas version. The fuel that must be placed into the trimmer makes it a bit heavier than the
battery trimmer. For people who need a light weight trimmer this is a good option, but it is not the lightest weight on the market. There are lighter options, but
they have their own drawbacks. If you want the flexibility of a cordless trimmer this makes a great light weight option.
The gas model also has many great selling points that buys have been attracted to. This model has a 22cc two cycle gas engine and is powered by gasoline.
The blade is twenty two inches and it delivers professional results. The Easy Start system makes getting the trimmer going a breeze. This is one of many ease
of use options that this trimmer offers. It may be a little heavier than other models, but it is still easy to carry and to use for most people.
A lot of people who do a lot of trimming prefer the gas model because it never needs to be recharged. Recharging a battery takes time and refilling the gas tank
2. takes far less time. For people who do a lot of trimming and cannot wait for a battery to recharge to get back to work this is the preferred model. It has a
reciprocating blade that makes trimming a breeze as well. People love the professional results that this model provides.
If you are in the market for a new hedge trimmer you may want to take a look at the ryobi hedge trimmer line. They have many different models available to fit a
variety of trimming needs. These models have all received good reviews from buyers and are known for quality and durability.

Would appreciate recent info on a cordless hedge trimmer in the $100.00 range. I understand the B&D has changed their battery within the past 2 Yrs. Also other makes and

The question I have is how many hedges are on your property?
B&D makes a good cordless trimmer for your basic homeowners’ needs.
But if it were up to me I would buy a Stihl gas trimmer, best quality and reliability

I want something lighter than a gasoline powered trimmer and a weed eater.

3. WORX GT WG151.1 18-Volt Cordless Electric Lithium-Ion String Trimmer/Edger WIth One Battery
I like the flexibliity of the unit: the handle articulates, the aluminum shaft telescopes to adjust for user height, and the cutter head angle adjusts to insure comfortable
hortizontal trimming. Definitely, a well-designed unit from an ergonometric perspective. In the trimmer mode, the cutter guide/guard provides close, precise trimming
without accidentally damaging plants or flowers, something hard to achieve with my old corded Toro. A few quick snaps and adjustments and the unit converts into a
sidewalk or driveway edger. A caveat here: the unit trims nicely as an edger, but it’s not definitely not powered to trench cut with the trimmer cord. When I tried to get the
machine to cut into the dirt next to the sidewalk, it balked and the trimmer string would not advance properly. If used just to edge the grass with a clean vertical cut, the unit
performed nicely.
Power-wise, the GT’s lithium ion battery provides sufficient power to handle my 1/3 acre routine trimming on one full charge. The user manual indicated a 30 minute
recharge cycle for a full recharge, but my recharges have been about 40-45 minutes–still a very quick recharge time compared to other battery-powered models. I pushed
the unit by tackling some overgrown grass and weeds in the adjacent vacant lot and it cut them nicely, but they obviously strained the unit to the limits of its power
capacity. It can handle that type of work, but if you have lots of it, you’re better off with another machine with more power.

What is the best gas/cordless trimmer/edger?
I’m looking for a gas or battery powered trimmer than converts to an edger for 200 bucks or less. I’ve looked at lots of battery powered ones online at good prices but the
reviews usually say that it’s not very powerful or battery doesn’t last long enough. The problem with gas is none of the ones i have found convert of an edger. I definitely don’t
want electric with cord. So whats a reliable trimmer than converts to an edger, gas or cordless battery? Thanks

What is the best cordless grass trimmer?
I want to buy a cordless trimmer that holds a long charge and is easy to operate. Any suggestions?

Two goats.
There is one exception:
If you are trimming grass around a church, you should only use holy goats.

I am looking to buy a new cordless trimmer/weedwacker, can you give me your opinions?
i recently decided that I want a cordless trimmer/weed wacker for outdoor trimming, as I am tired of messing with the gas trimmer. I bought a TASK FORCE trimmer, but i had
to rewind the line and it did not ‘feed’ out the line as stated it would . It didn’t have much power to get even tall grass around my fence cut.
I would like your opinion on ANY cordless trimmer/weedwackers you have. I am looking at the black and decker one, but need the adjusting handle, and telescoping body, as
me and my hubby are different heights, and the edging isn’t a factor since i have a edger already. I need it to be CORDLESS.
