Makita Electric Hedge Trimmer UH6350
Date Published: 1/4/07
You've got to have some considerable hedge-trimming needs to require a 20.5-inch cutting length, but that's exactly what the UH6350 electric hedge trimmer from Makita delivers. It's a lightweight unit (7.3 pounds), and even with the long blade it's well-balanced.
The hefty 4.6-amp motor -- one of the most powerful in its class -- operates only when you grip the handles with both hands, and it stops quickly when you let go. It's a nice safety feature, but sometimes makes it a little tricky to operate when you're trying to reach a difficult-to-access area and would prefer to use it for a second or two with just one hand.
The smooth-running motor is quiet -- definitely quieter than gas-powered models -- and its low vibration cuts down on strain on your arms and hands. The Makita UH6350 electric hedge trimmer features an impressive cutting capacity for the under-$170 price, as well as a 1-year warranty.
