NETTA Cordless Hedge Trimmer & Cutter 20V MAX- Ultra-Light 2.15KG, Battery & Charger Included – 410mm Laser Dual-Action Blade

Very light and easy to use. When I opened the box it looked a bit feeble and sounds terrible but it's brilliant!It cuts through most things, the battery lasts for ages, and it's so easy to use (no firing up the petrol hedge strimmer). I've given it a very hard life in the month or so I've had it, it's been dropped onto the ground a few times but nothing has broken and it keeps on going

What a little powerhouse of a hedge trimmer,light and easy to use ..well worth the money..made short work of my leylundii hedge

It is a good hedge trimmer for a reasonable sized garden. As I have arthritis I needed something very light and this trimmer is quite easy to lift and use. Being cordless you don't have to worry about cutting through electricity cables or tripping over wires, or having to add extensions and not work in damp weather. Charging is very quick and there is a red and green indicator to tell you when full charge has been reached. The charge seems to last well for a reasonable hedge or lots of smaller bushes. As with most if these appliances you do have to use two hands to hold both switches down on order to keep the motor running. I am sure this is a good safety measure but for me I would have liked a locking button for single handed use where a little more reach is needed. I do understand if this system is obligatory but my previous wired trimmer had such a button. Just a thought. Otherwise an excellent trimmer.

Excellent and lightweight for me a petite female gardener for those smaller trimming jobs around the garden where you need flexibility. Cordless, with a good battery life and easy to grip. Highly recommend.

What can I say, for 50 quid, you can't go wrong! It's very light and easy to use. Good little tool, made a day's work of shearing the hedges and ivy a 20 minute job!

Considering the price and weight, it is not as powerful as my corded Flymo, but so much more useful. The blades are very sharp, and it's brilliant for giving those hedges a quick shave. It copes easily with green shoots on my Yew and Leylandii, but struggled with 1/4" stems (last years growth) of laurel. The battery has not been a problem, though I tend to use it little & often at the moment. It's so easy if I see something that needs a quick trim, to go grab it, plug the battery in, and away.......Like nearly all similar tools, for safety, it is double switched, which is good. It is so light, though, that I'm tempted to tie down one switch, to be able to use it with one hand, when I need that extra reach. It would be nice, if once switched on using two hands, it would stay on until the trigger is released.

I purchased this to do my elderly dad’s large hedge that hadn’t been trimmed in years- it lasted two whole days before it needed charging. It also made quick work of the hedge, though I had to use a branch cutter on the thicker branches as it struggled with those but I was expecting that. Nice and light, I’m confident my dad could use it too. I didn’t get sore until the second day of cutting. Would recommend.

I've bought Netta tools before, and found them to be good value. They aren't the best on the market, but they do the job. I have a number of hedge trimmers, but I was looking for something cordless and lightweight for quick work on smaller areas. It's not as powerful as my corded or 2-stroke hedge trimmers, but does the job on privet and beech hedges. It claims to be able to cut upto 16mm, but realistically it will only cut about half that thickness. It's very lightweight, and a fully charged battery lasts about 30 mins. After about 10 mins, you do start to hear the motor speed dropping and a loss of some power, but it keeps on cutting. I also bought separately the mini chainsaw with extension pole, so I can use the pole with the hedge trimmer too. It's better value buying these separately, because for the same money, you get an extra battery and charger. Definitely would recommend if you only do small jobs and want something lightweight. Netta, like many others, use their own batteries, so you won't be able to run the tool with a DeWalt, Bosch, or Makita battery, or any of those cheap Chinese power tools. The only bad thing is the safety switch and trigger are too far apart to use this one-handed, but I suppose you could put a cable tie or tape round the safety switch.
