The verdict is that it is great for all varieties and kinds of hedges.

This Ego HT2000E cordless hedge trimmer powered through our testing and left a tidy finish on all of the different types of hedges that we used it on. However, due to its weight of 4.1 kilogrammes, you will require a good deal of muscle in your arms in order to operate it. Even though the handles on this model do not rotate, it is still rather pleasant to use, and the battery life is an astounding 70 minutes. A worthy selection for Best Buy.

Pros

Powerful
Long run time
Wide separation between the teeth
Easy to use Comfortable to run

Cons
Heavier than usual and leaning slightly to the back
No rotation of the handle
Broken sheath for the blade

The decision is in, and it’s great for all hedges

The long-reach cordless hedge trimmer from Stihl, model number HLA 56, is designed for cutting hedges that are both tall and wide. Because the head can be adjusted to cut at a variety of angles, you can switch from cutting vertically along the sides of a hedge to cutting horizontally across the top while maintaining a stable and comfortable position on the ground. This allows you to trim a hedge more efficiently and effectively. We were fairly surprised by its cutting power and versatility, and despite the fact that it is quite pricey when purchased as a complete bundle, if you already own a compatible Stihl battery and charger from the Compact series, purchasing the body alone makes this product more affordable.

Pros

Excellent at trimming any and all hedges
Powerful with a long battery life
Quiet

Cons
The basic model does not come with a handle extension of any kind.

The conclusion is that they are lightweight and the best choice for smaller hedges.

The corded electric hedge trimmer model EasyHedgeCut 45-16 performed well in the evaluations, and the fact that it has a shorter blade and teeth that are spaced more closely together makes it ideal for trimming smaller hedges. Due of its low weight, it may be manoeuvred with relative ease. However, after some time had passed, the handle started to feel a little awkward when being used. Despite this, I would still recommend it as a Best Buy.

Pros

It makes clean cuts, has enough of power, and leaves a nice finish on any kind of hedge.
Lightweight

Cons
Teeth with narrow gaps between them
It is difficult to remove and replace the blade sheath.
