Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolutely love it! I got this hedger about a month ago and I have used it to clip my totally overgrown hedges and some too-tall shrubs around my house. I am really happy with my purchase! The hedger cuts through my thick ligustrum and loropetalum branches without any fuss, and does it more easily than I expected. It's really lightweight considering all that it can do. This is my first experience with an electric hedger -- I'm a small woman, too, so it needed to be easy to manipulate, which it is. Very happy.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Toro 22 in hedge trimmer This is the first time I purchased a set of hedge trimmers with the 22 in blade and boy am I happy I did. I can cut more in a short amount of time-trimmers work great. This particular set does not have a lot of vibration which is good -your hands will not tire as fast. The one con to this product -the plug and the cord connection are not tight. At first I thought it was my cord but after trying my weed wacker and an old set of hedge trimmers it noticed it was not my cord but the plug from the trimmers. Now I just make sure I wrap the cord around my hand to hold the connection. Otherwise, I am happy with my purchase.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from So far, so good So far (used 2-3 times), this trimmer has worked well. Cuts through my bushes with no problems, cutting even better than the gas powered trimmer which I replaced. The only drawback is the trigger gets tiresome to hold if you're working for awhile. It would be better if one could hold the trigger on using a normal grip on the handle.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Nice trimmer Clean cutting & comfortable to use. Plenty of power to get through overgrowth & small branches. Much more rigid feeling than my old trimmer & 4" longer, which really make it easier reaching up & down into spots. I use it on many different shaped shrubs - swirls, pom poms, circle shaped hedges, sky rockets, & even a large weeping mulberry tree. Keep it lubed with a spray oil & it will stay sharp longer.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great trimmer for the price and size. This trimmer does the job as expected. I just find it to be a bit noisy, but not too bad. I have used it only twice now and it has been so far so good. It cuts small trees branches with ease. And bushes and hedges are real easy with this. Very easy to put together from the box, I just wish there was a trigger lock which can hold the trigger and not force the user to keep holding it. But with its very easy carry-ability using the two handles, it's not hard to keep holding the trigger. Will update the review after I have used it more number of times.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Light weight and plenty of power I was originally thinking about a gas model, but I had owned an electric for years and already had enough dropcord. The difference in weight between this unit and the gas trimmers is significant. I am pleased with the performance of this trimmer. I trimmed for @ 4 hrs and it did not miss a beat.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from this is the only product in its price range worthy of purchase, it "ate" 30 ft of overgrown holly... this is the only product in its price range worthy of purchase, it "ate" 30 ft of overgrown holly in mins... longevity of its service is unknown since I only used it the one time and shows "0" wear, but first impression is "WOW" ..easily sliced thru 1/2 inch branches and chewed threw 3/4+ in branches with ease... in less than ten mins.. the wife went back inside to get the phone to take video .. of the progress and by the time she came back out I was done so pics of some not touched on the other side of porch will have to do, not quite as tall as the ones I already cut but...... AGAIN … WOW.. the only complaint is it is a bit heavy .. HOWEVER.. if you want power from a hand held cutter its got to have enough motor to give results so .. ill happily deal with a heavier trimmer and short bursts of work.. and the amount of results for those short bursts is nothing short of AMAZING!!!... for 50 BUCKS . look no further.. this is your hedge trimmer you wont be disappointed.... Didn't get to finish got rained out but you will get the idea from the pictures.. AWESOME HEDGE TRIMMER

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Toro Hedge Trimmer Is Superior To The Other Brand [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The model 51490 22 inch hedge trimmer is superior compared to the 14 inch non-Toro trimmer that I had been using. The Toro cuts through branches that caused my previous hedge trimmer to jam, requiring me to hit the end of the trimmer on the ground or the driveway to undo the jam and get it cutting again. With the 22 inch blade, I could reach further into the hedge without cutting my arms on the branches closest to my body. I also like the way you plug an extension cord into the trimmer. I am thoroughly satisfied with my Toro hedge trimmer.

Does the trigger lock in place?

No, it does not. After about 30 minutes of use my hand is pretty tired.

Since the Toro Hedge Trimmer has a 4.0 amp motor, does that make it perform better than the Black & Decker with a 3.8 amp motor?

Which Hedge Trimmer would perform better? The Toro with a 4.0 amp motor, or the Black & Decker with a 3.8 amp motor?
Asked by: Barbara
Basically, you are talking about such a small amount of amperage difference that you probably won't notice it. Actually, both are well balanced trimmers, will do the job for a medium sized yard and are easy to handle. Both are rated to handle branches up to around 1/2" diameter.

How powerful is 4 amps? Enough to do medium size yard projects, e.g. Hedges, bougenvias?

Asked by: Ron
Can't really compare this product to other amperage products, however, I have never had a problem with doing hedge edges and cutting through things smaller than 1/2 inch. In order for this product to perform well you will need to make sure that you are using an extension cord that is rated (gauge) for the distance you plan on using the tool from the outlet you are plugging it into.
