Great tool for around the house. Lightweight and a very good clipper for hedges and ivy. Makita batteries last a decent amount of power to get the job done quickly. No gas, no power cords, easy to clean.

Works well, cutting ability is as advertised. Easy to clean and length of it is enough for gardener like me. One cons is you need to use both hands for it to work, so arms get tired after some time. Batteries interchangeable between all makita devices.

We are pretty deeply invested in LXT stuff, so this was our go-to when we needed a hedge trimmer for light yardwork. At about $100 without the battery, you can't get a better-made product.One of the first things I'd like to impart on any buyer is that you need to buy oil with this. Oil it before first use and after EVERY use. This will keep the blades sharp and will keep them from degrading as quickly.I'm surprised at how quiet and effective it is. We've used it to trim back a number of hedges in our yard and our family's yard and it's about 10x faster than doing it by hand. We like the safety features on it as well. Cannot recommend this enough.

I bought this hedger over the 24 inch makita model as i didn't think the extra length would make that much difference and was worried about the added weight. I used the difference in price to pick up a 2 pack of non oem batteries that are compatible with the 18v makita system includind the double oem battery charger that came with my 36v string trimmer. 50 bucks for 2.I was coming from a 24 in ego 56 volt that was handed down to me 4 years ago or so. It eventually failed this spring. That was a heavy unit with a large battery back, at least 3 times the weight of this one. As it was older, im not sure how the longevity of that larger battery vs one 18v as this takes. I just used this Makita today and got at least 45 minutes of use. Now it wasnt continuos as use, I was raking my clippings and taking drink breaks. But with the 2 pack will be more than plenty for my hedging needs.Makita obviously is a great brand as you can see from the reviews of most of their products. I'm not a Makita only guy but I chose this as I recently bought the makita string trimmer after struggling to get my stihl 2 stroke started. That trimmer package came with 2 oem 18v batteries and double charger. I probably would have been fine with using those 2 with this instead of buying 2 additional ones, but I intend to share this with family members and didnt want to not be able to string trimmer when this was being borrowed.This unit is very light and easy to use. Very sharp blades out of the box. Comes with a protective sleeve so when not in use prevents getting cut inadvertainly by the teeth.I would be surprised if this didnt last me a good while.

I have a lot of shrubs and hedges. 2 years ago I purchased the Makita Hedge Trimmer that attached to the 36V Shaft Tool. That Trimmer is great but Heavy and Cumbersome to use.Recently I purchased this little 18V Trimmer and am very impressed that it did all the light trimming I was wanting to achieve. I worked pretty steadily for about 4 hours and barely used up 2) 5.0 batteries.I also had some oval manicuring to do with small boxwoods and did better than the landscapers I used to pay to do it.OVERALL, 5 Stars.The only negative, this trimmer was a bit challenged on one shrub where I had to go into mature branches that were over a 1/4”.

After years of using a corded, heavy, 16” trimmer, I decided to try this 22” battery powered trimmer. (I already had other 18V Makita products) What a difference!! It is sharp and powerful. It trims with ease. I don’t have to constantly worry with pulling around or cutting a power cord. A 3.0 ah battery lasts at least an hour of cutting. Very happy with this trimmer.

Makita is about quality, and that is why I buy their stuff. This one is light, sharp, and effective. Long battery life, too. Did all my hedges on one battery. I Highly recommend it.

I have many Makita cordless tool so it was a no brainer to get a Makita cordless tool only hedge trimmer.I like the quality of the tool, its light and the cutters are ground like scissors.My only problem is some clever marketing regarding strokes per minute. A 2700 stroke per minute motor doesnt equal a 2700 stroke per minute hedge trimmer.I paid $100 more for this model over the DUH523 just because the mention 2700spm but I cant be bothered with a fight so I will keep it, it does a nice job even if only 1350spm so hence the 3 stars.Its quite possible XHU stands for China where its made.

Trimmer is perfect. Very quiet compared to my old electric powered one. So quiet that I was afraid it would not be powerful enough, but boy, was I ever wrong. Plows through hedges, evergreens, bushes and more. Battery life is phenomenal. Bought this because I have the full line of cordless Makita tools, and knew my batteries would fit this. In spite of what others say, battery life for the older batteries is wonderful. I have a half doszn 1830's- three hour batteries. Have not had one battery fully discharge. Trimmer does not take much power from these older batteries, and do not be concerned if you do not have the four or five hour batteries- 1830's last plenty long. Overall, one of the smartest purchases I have made- good price, good battery life, super quiet and powerful, and extremely portable with no cords, outlets or gas mixtures needed! Thank you Makita!!
