Product reviewsMakita Cordless Hedge Trimmer 2x18 V DUH651Z Branch 18mm

Great quality and power

If you’re considering purchasing this then do it. Really excellent. It appears to operate at a slightly slower rpm than the usual cabled offerings but has plenty of power to Operate smoothly and give great results. The batteries last well but it’s doing a lot of work so the 5Ah batteries are ideal. Two chargers is also really useful if you’re taming a jungle. Add in four batteries and you won’t stop. Some have said heavy, I would say reassuringly so. Fine for two handed operation (nd the safety features ensure this is the way the tool is used). Fantastic value if you already have the LXT charger and batteries.Read full review...

Excellent trimmer with plenty of power

Really great tool, light and very easy to use, batteries last along time and have plenty enough power to get the job done.

Fantastic hedge trimmer

Fantastic hedge trimmer, Able to handle almost anything you trow at it with power to spare.
Very long run time with 2 x 5MAH batteries. Does run slower than a mains trimmer but do not let that put you off, It has more torque by far. If you are considering a battery hedge trimmer i would seriously consider one of these beauties. Especially if you already have the batteries at hand :)Read full review...

Versatile, well designed and great quality

Masses of power, tackles the toughest of jobs with ease and good on the lighter jobs like box hedges too, well balanced, double cutting edges means it can cut in both directions making lighter work of big hedges. Handle is adjustable into 4 positions making it easier on the arms and wrists and product is light considering the blade length. I would suggest the shorter blade length for use in smaller gardens.
These Makita products are first class and I would not hesitate to recommend them.Read full review...

A big beast that beats my petrol cutter.

I originally bought the single battery Makita hedge trimmer which is fine for light work but this one is the real beast. More powerful than my petrol Stihl, much safer than petrol, and really tackles heavy duty hedges (holly and rhododendron). A little heavier and a little more expensive (I bought mine from FFX) but well worth the money. I am selling the single battery one.Read full review...

big improvement

This is a great machine. I've had other battery operated ones but they've always struggled under load. Two batteries and higher power makes quite a difference.

Easy to use, and pleasantly surprised how powerful it is. Only negative is it's a little heavy when using for any length of time but overall a great piece of kit.

Nice machine

Typical makita product.
Im using 3.0 batteries and i think its s bit underpowered, i may buy some 5.0 to see the difference but overall im very pleased. It is excellent value for money.

Great trimmer, long lasting battery time. Will cut through most branches up to 12mm easily. Little bit on the heavy side but build quality is superb.
