Awesome tool.... August 3, 2007
Morley Dotes (Flushing, New York USA)

This is a really great trimmer. It handles thick branches very well. I cut half inch branches easily enough. It is well balanced, and I was even able to use it with one hand when I really had to stretch (I would not recommend this, as it is a bit dangerous). One thing that many people do not consider with these electric tools, sometimes, the extension cord releases easily. This is not the case here, I am happy to report. I am very happy I bought this. It makes my hedge trimming very easy. It is easy to maneuver, and I think you will be very happy using this product.
June 2008 addition:
Okay, almost a year has passed and this thing is still going strong. It cuts like butter....still. It is easily the best garden tool purchase I have made, and I have made some good ones. It does not bog down unless the branches are REALLY thick (read: do not fit between the teeth completely). Look no further and buy this trimmer. It's just great....the only annoyance is that the plug comes out easily using my new extension cord.....ehem....it seems while I was using the trimmer to clear out more ivy than anyone can imagine, the cord got hidden underneath some of the iyv I had not reached and when I did get to it I might not have been.....ehem....paying as much attention.....cough, cough....as I should have, and, well, you know, ehem, the trimmer stopped working. When I looked down I saw the cord was still plugged into the trimmer, but then I noticed the dangling piece of cord about 8 feet down and am happy to report that if needed this thing will cut through a 12 gauge extension cord with ease and better than any wire cutter! Luckily for me, I did get any kind of shock, etc., (of course, it was plugged into a GFCI outlet). That's the good news. The bad news is I through out the extension cord which, at 100 feet, costs almost what the trimmer cost. The good news is my friend later informed me that it is an easy fix to splice the wires back together. Bad news is, he told me this AFTER the garbage men took the garbage.....Lesson learned, and I only mention this in the hopes that everyone who reads this takes better care than I did. All joking aside, this could have had a completely different ending, and I quite lucky to be able to edit this review. I can only imagine what might have happened if I were standing in a puddle, or something (I don't want to test the GFCI). So, since it only cost me a new extension cord, I figure I got away cheap. ;-)
Powerful Trimmer! January 2, 2007

Given it's light weight, this is a remarkably powerful machine. 1/4" branches are no problem at all. It is well balanced and light enough for one-handed operation when you are stretching to reach that elusive branch from your ladder. I am replacing a 12 year old B & D trimmer that finally died, so I am optimistic about the longevity of this one.
Long reach! January 3, 2007

Good balance for the long reach of this trimmer. Ample power to do the job, and the HH2450 makes it (relatively) easy in the doing. Best performance of any of several hedge trimmers I have used.
 cordless or cord July 21, 2007

I had my heart set on a cordless, but now I am glad I purchased this model. Two things sold me on it. The first was the extra reach. I needed it for some of my bushes that are over six feet high. The second was those hardened blades. I knew they would last longer.
The design and being able to hold it with one hand also helped, as did the fact that it could handle thicker branches.
I do not understand the reviewer that needed two passes. For the thicker branches , you hold it there and it eventually chews thru them. I comes down to taking your time. The longer blade also makes it easier to shape large bushes.
This hedge trimmer has cut everything I threw at it and hardly missed a beat. It easy to balance with one hand , but it does become heavy although still manageable with only one hand.
Like many, I was not a fan of B&D products. I bought this because of the combination of features that were not available on other brands. I don't like having to use a cord, but that is balanced out by how effective it is in doing it's job. Having the extra power is the tradeoff.
Usually I review every purchase I can on Amazon , but this was more of a spur of the moment decision. The current price ($70) , plus the free shipping makes Amazon the place to buy it from.
I could not find a better hedge trimmer. This time B&D got it right. Minus one star from not being cordless.
