5 years on and still going strong. Lasts very well on 4ah battery. Impressive!

These will not do the job my petrol ones will but for small jobs it’s brilliant light weight surprisingly powerful

superb hedge cutter, bought to replace a Qualcast 10 year old one which has always been a bit kranky. this is a breeze to use and gives a fine finish to the hedge. It does seem heavy, presumably the motor, since the wand is half the size of the old one, however the cutting is superb. If you have batteries this is totally recommendable. My hedges are 1 soft stuff I do not know the name of, 2a length of Holly, and 3 a large Hawthorne (for the sparrows).

Very pleased with the service and product

very light..........easy to use. Great for light trimming. Trying to use the website to upgrade the warranty from 1 year to 3 is a nightmare. Please someone from makita get in touch and show me how to make it work. Or perhaps they would rather people had the 1 year and gave up ?
