Makita Cordless Hedge Trimmer

Pretty good, but not Makita's most cost effective hedge trimmer.

Overall, very happy with the Makita DUH601. It is light, quiet in operation, easy to handle and can cut stems and branches up to a decent size. It will also provide a surprising amount of cutting time before you have to change the battery, even if your using a 3.0 or 4.0Ah battery pack. The twistable body is a neat feature and the reverse direction function is also useful in the event that the blade jams for some reason.

I can't give it full marks however becuase although it is better than the Makita DUH523, the difference in price is difficult to justify. I have used both models and the DUH601 is, I would say, 20 to 25% better but it costs nearly three times the price.Read full review

An effective, quick hedge trimmer

Used my 5Ah Makita batteries I already had. One battery on high speed easily trimmed my garden.
The unit is balanced but did require some strength and fitness. The rotating handle is very useful. Use with eye protection and only mess on with the blades if the battery is disconnected. After use I put spray oil on the cutters. No cable to worry about. My previous trimmer has a cut cable. Does a very neat job on a typical hedge, harsher on shrub bushes. If you have small jobs and lack the strength might be better with a 50cm blade?Read full review

works extremely well.with a large battery fitted I ran out of energy before the machine. However an awful lot of hedge had been cut! it even cut a few branches thicker than i thought it would

Great product and great quality

Great quality, trims with ease, even the thicker branches, I can do large quantities on a single 4AH battery, the option to swivel the body is a great addition
